(upbeat music)

(snoring)

(guitar playing)

- The sound, ah.

Sean, Seamus.

- Sorry grandpa.

We didn't mean to wake you up.

We could turn it down.

- Or, you could

tune it up.

- Tune it up?

- You can't expect it

to play decent rock and roll

on an out of tune guitar you know.

(playing rock music)

Ah, lovely.

There you go boys, rock the house.

- Grandpa just played rock and roll.

- Too weird.

- Quite now.

Did you think rock and roll was born with the two of you.

I've had rock in me blood since I was knee high

to a snare drum.

I even had me own band once.

- You had a band?

- Did you play lots of shows?

- Did you have lots of fans?

- Boys, I had it all.

It didn't start that way.

In fact, it all started on a bit of a sour note.

(violin playing out of tune)

- Oh, Molly me darlin',

that was lovely,

wasn't it dear.

- Oh, yes, lovely.

- No it wasn't.

- Of course it was, Piggley.

- Eh, if you say so.

- Thank you Piggley.

- Right.

Eh, well, I'm off.

Dannan and Ferny and I.

- Ah, ah, ah, not so fast little man.

I need you to take Molly to her violin lesson.

- Today?

But it's Saturday.

- You'll walk her to school.

Wait for her through her lesson with Ms. Nanny,

then you'll walk her home.

- Ah, mammy.

- Oh, have fun you two.

- I get to go to school today.

I get to go to school today.

I get to go to school,

just like you Piggley.

Isn't it great?

- Right.

Great.

(out of tune violin)

- Wowie, wow, wow, wow.

What is that?

Whatever it is, it's bad.

It sounds like it's in pain.

It must be starving or something.

A starving creature is not a good thing for a sheep.

We're very tasty you know.

Okay, flock, don't panic.

Run for your lives.

(dramatic music)

They can't catch you if you zigzag.

Zigzag, zigzag, zigzag.

(out of tune violin)

- Freeze Earth creature.

- Space monsters.

- We're taking off for Mars today.

- Come along peaceful now,

or I'll have to freeze you with my super powered freeze ray.

Come along Earthling.

Molly too.

- This can be my freeze ray.

- No it can't be Molly.

That's your violin.

And I have to take you to school for your lesson.

- On Saturday?

- Why I'd rather be sent to Mars for the rest of me life

than go to school on a Saturday.

- So'd I,

but me mother says I have to take Molly.

- Today's game will be played in your honor,

Commander Piggley.

- And may you safely return

from your terrible mission.

- Look, Ferny, Martian mud eaters.

- After 'em.

- Ah, come on Molly.

- And a one, and a two, and a one, and a two.

Very good Molly,

keep the tempo,

that's the way dear.

Lovely, just lovely.

(rock music)

- Oh, sorry, I mean it goes,

I can't.

I didn't mean to.

I was just.

- Oh now calm yourself Piggley.

Everything's fine now.

- That was loud.

- That was rock and roll.

- Rock and roll.

- What's that?

- Oh goodness.

It's the latest thing.

Listen.

(rock music playing)

♪ Early in the morning

♪ Gotta hear my songs

♪ I put 'em on a record machine

♪ That heart b*ating rhythm

♪ Grabs 'em by my soul

♪ Knocks me to my knees

♪ I pick up my guitar and hear the crazy b*at

♪ I tear through every chord

♪ That rock and roll music

♪ sh**t me to the moon

♪ I still got to get me some more.

- Jakers, that's amazing.

Who's making that music?

- The artist's name is Cluck Cockwren.

He's a real rocker, he is.

(strumming guitar)

- Oh, I wish I could play like that.

- There's no reason why you can't.

The note's he's playing aren't all that difficult.

Oh, well, I could teach you if you'd like.

- Really?

That'd be great.

- What about my lesson Miss Nanny?

- Well now, we'll finish your lesson first Molly.

Then I'll move on to Piggley.

- Ah, all right.

- Good.

- [Grandpa] That my dear boys

was the beginning of it all for me.

In my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined

that I'd be looking forward

to going to school every Saturday.

- Piggley, you forgot your sister.

- Come one, we've got to get to school.

- Slow down Piggley,

it's hard to play.

- You should have practiced that at home Molly,

like I did.

Now hurry up, or we'll never get to school.

- Oh, are you telling me

that Piggley wants to go to school today.

- It's unnatural I tell you.

And he's been rushing to school every single Saturday

for weeks now.

I think it's time we found out

just exactly what's going on there.

- You hear that?

It's that sheep eating thing again.

But what are we gonna do?

I'll tell you want we're gonna do.

I'm glad you asked.

We're gonna prepare.

We're gonna learn what to do

in case that thing stops screaming,

and starts looking for a wooly midnight snack.

First we got to figure out what that thing is.

Let's say it's a lion.

(baaaa's)

Okay, Shirley wants to know what a lion is.

Who can answer that?

Well it seems like nobody, except me.

And take it from me,

you don't want to know.

So imagine instead,

a giant sheep eating squirrel.

Baaa, baaaa.

Now pretend I'm that squirrel.

What do we do?

You know, if I was that squirrel,

and I was looking for nuts,

you guys would be in big trouble.

(rock music)

- Oh, what is it that Piggley is playing there Dannan?

- I'm not sure, but I can't stop listening.

Now look at what it's doing to me.

- Whoa, Janey Mack.

It gets right into your body.

- Ah, oh Piggley,

that was just wonderful.

You really must play at next week's school concert.

- Do you think I could?

- You'd be great.

- Jakers.

I'll do it.

I can play just like Cluck Cockwren.

- Well now, just play like yourself.

And that'll be plenty good enough.

Now, go and enjoy the nice weather.

While I give your sister here her lesson.

- Thanks Miss Nanny.

Whoa.

- So, you're keeping secrets from us are you Piggley?

- I'm asking you now,

is that any way to treat your friends?

- Well ah,

I just couldn't tell you I was coming here every Saturday.

You'd think I was daft.

- That's not we're talking about Piggley.

We're talking about the music.

Why didn't you tell us about the music?

- It's called rock and roll.

In the very beginning.

- [Grandpa] I shared everything I knew with my friends.

And by the time I was done weaving the magic spell

of rock and roll,

we were all ready and eager to form our very own band,

the Raloo Rockers.

- Muy buen, listo, all finished.

This is my first on making a drum set.

What do you think Fernando?

(drumming)

- Oh papa, maravilloso!

- Sounds great Dannan.

- Well why are we all just standing around chin waggin,

let's play some rock and roll.

- All right then,

I'll start playing,

you two listen to the rhythm,

and jump in when you're ready.

(rock music)

- Hmm, not bad.

I like this new music.

- This isn't quite the way it's supposed to sound.

- Oh, Janey Mack.

Oh well, it was sounding pretty good for a while though,

wasn't it?

- Of course it was.

We just need some practice, that's all.

Before you know it,

we'll be as good as Cluck Cockwren himself.

- There's already a Cluck Cockwren Piggley,

why don't you just be the...

Raloo Rockers.

- Right, the Raloo Rockers.

- (Together) the Raloo Rockers.

- [Grandpa] Now the band was pretty good,

but my imagination was even better.

Looking back,

I realize that while I was practicing the music,

I should have been practicing

holding my tongue as well.

- Wahoo, the Raloo Rockers will knock your socks off.

- Don't miss us, the Raloo Rockers, woo,

at the school concert.

(cheering)

- We'll be shaking it up right here at the school,

this Saturday night.

(cheers)

- Thank you, thank you, we love you.

Thank you very much.

(school bell)

(singing)

Mr. Hornsby, are you coming to the concert on Saturday?

My band and I will be playing.

I'm gonna play just like...

- Pigley, I'm quite sure you could do anything

you put your mind to.

Even finish your school work.

- Ah, ah, umm.

We've been practicing really hard,

and we sound amazing.

And Ferny's the best drummer,

and Dannan's brilliant,

and I sound just like Cluck Cockwren.

- Oh, that's wonderful Piggley.

I'm so proud of the way you've been practicing everyday.

- Thanks mammy.

Wait til you hear us on Saturday night.

- Well, he certainly is excited about that guitar, isn't he.

- Who's Cluck Cockwren?

- [Grandpa] So on the night of the school concert,

I was feeling confident and cocky,

and ready to conquer the world.

And then I got my first glimpse of the audience.

(applause)

And my confidence disappeared faster

than a magician's rabbit.

- Jakers, the place is packed.

Everyone in the whole town is here.

- Of course they are.

You told them to come, didn't you.

- I did, but.

- But, but, but what?

- Well, what if we're not as good as Cluck Cockwren.

What if we're not any good at all?

- Oh, but you said we were Piggley.

You told everyone.

- You better not have been messing with us Piggley.

It's be awfully embarrassing if we were bad

after all the fuss you made.

- Well now, I think we're good.

But you know, I'm not sure we're as good as Cluck.

- Oh dear.

- Oh Janey Mack.

- Wait a minute.

I know how we can be exactly as good as Cluck Cockwren.

(applause)

- Okay, Raloo Rockers.

You're on.

Ladies and gentlemen,

is is my great pleasure

to present to you

the Raloo Rockers.
