You know, he's actually pretty cool.

That album has all his greatest hits,

and it came out to celebrate
his 100th birthday this week!

[scoffs] That explains the hat!

-[giggles]
-Very funny. But no. Look.

[announcer] This week, Romeo Jones
turns 100 years young.

He's known for hits like
"Won't You Be My Froggy Baby?,"

his golden voice,
and his very dapper hat.

From all of us, Romeo,
Happy birthday to you-hoo!

-[Romeo] ♪ My dog's name is Marjorie ♪

-Who names their dog Marjorie?

All right, all right, I guess Romeo Jones
isn't for you. But he's still a legend!

Now enough messing around,
these records won't organize themselves.

-OK, mami.
-OK.

[Karma sighs]

[gasps]

[quietly] And here's the record
you ordered, Karma.

OK, deep breath.

[breathes deeply]

It's cool. Relax.
They didn't find out your secret.

Hi, Romeo.

Your left eye is twitching,
that means you have a secret.

C'mon! C'mon!

-C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
-I listen to Romeo Jones, OK?!

-[Karma groans]
-[Keys laughs]

What is he, 100 years old?

Actually, yes. And I'm a huge fan.
We're called…

"Romeo Clones!"

[cackles] Romeo Clones?!

I know. It's not cool.

But his songs are fun,
and super catchy,

and they make me feel good! [sighs]

But if my friends find out…

I'm trying to be a cool rapper,
and Romeo Jones is… not that.

-So you can't tell anyone, Keys.
-Hmm.

Are you kidding?! I'm telling everyone!

Boys, girls, dogs, cats!

But first, I'm gonna blow up your spot
to Winston and Switch!

-[maniacal laugh]
-Urgh! [sighs]

All righty, let's go! Don't wanna be late!

-Uh… hi?
-What's the rush?

Oh, I-I just love school!
So let's go, go, go!

[Keys clears throat] Aren't you
forgetting something? Or someone?

Hey, Winston. Hey, Switch.

I heard you were singing that corny song
by Romeo Jones last night.

-[laughs]
-The dude with the giant hat?

-He's so funny! [giggles]
-[laughs]

Yeah.

But what do you think of him, Karma?

Oh, um… Well…
I think that he's… totally corny!

Huh, that's funny! Because last night
Karma told me a big secret that--

Oh, don't forget your snack!

What's that?
Huh, can't hear you, Keys.

I said, her secret is--

Well, all right, goodbye now!
Have a good day!

-Did he say something about a secret?
-Hmm?

Oh, uh… yeah. The secret is…

I forgot to do my math homework!

Ah! I forget to do my math homework
all the time!

Huh? Is that…?

[laughs]

…another Romeo Clone?

So, wanna go to the diner?

Um… sorry!

-Can't today. Uh… gotta go!
-Huh?

-Do you have the live album?
-Yep!

-The collector's edition singing doll?
-Duh!

The super rare Romeo Jones brand
breakfast cereal from 1966?

It tastes like dust, but… yeah!

So you really are a Romeo Clone!

But you're not embarrassed
about loving him so much?

Winston and Switch were making fun
of his voice yesterday. And his hat.

Eh, doesn't bother me!

I just love what I love.
Who cares what everyone else thinks?

Huh.

I guess you're right. Come on!

-[Ms. Torres] Hey, Karma.
-[gasps]

How'd you like that Romeo Jones
birthday record?

[sighs] I really blew it at school today.

My friend Chris likes Romeo Jones too,
and--

You found another Romeo Clone!
That's amazing news!

Yeah, but he was getting teased for it
and I didn't stand up for him.

[sigh] I guess I was just scared of people
knowing that I like Romeo, too.

I was scared of being embarrassed.

Everyone likes something
other people don't.

There's nothing embarrassing about that.

Just love what you love
and don't apologize for it.

Yeah. Chris said that, too.

Hey, Chris. I know you must be upset about
what Carrie said yesterday and that--

I'm not upset about that.

Oh. Uh… really?

Cos she and all the other kids
were making fun of you.

Hey, I love what I love and I'm not
gonna to stop liking Romeo Jones

cos someone else doesn't appreciate
his awesomeness.

Huh, you're totally right!

Now us Romeo Clones
can get back to--

But I was sad.

Not because of Carrie,
but because of you.

You didn't have my back.
We were supposed to be Romeo Clones.

I'm so sorry, Chris.
I promise it'll never happen again.

Actually… Hey, Carrie!

Oh, hey, Karma. Hey, Chris!

Where's your giant Romeo Jones hat?

-[laughs]
-Laugh as much as you want, Carrie.

But Chris doesn't care.

And neither do I,
cos I love Romeo Jones, too.

-[gasps] For real?
-No way.

We just love what we love.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
