What kind of music would have played some?

What kind of music would have pizza?

Pizza place.

Nothing.

Nothing.

What kind of music would it be?

Shut down.

Hey, can you do me a favor? Take this to

table three, OK? Ohh, OK. Thanks bud.

Here you are, $8 even. Thanks for

coming and see you again soon. Hey

Charlie. Ohh, no.

Would you come here, please? Come here.

Come here. Come here. CC,

what are you doing here? You're supposed

to be at the club. I didn't go to

the club meeting today because I'm. I'm

quitting the club. Quitting. Yeah. How

could you quit the club? You're a possum

already and all you need is 1 merit badge

to move all the way up to ferret. Yeah,

well, the the club is. It's not as

much fun as baseball.

Where are you going? I'm going to the

lifeguard tower. Why? Because I left my

baseball Mitt there with Joel. Yeah, but,

Charlie, why do I get this feeling that

you have a problem? I don't know. What

makes you say that? I. Feel it. I

I I sense it, Jerry. I'm fine. Yeah,

well, something in your eyes tells me

that something is wrong. The only thing

that's wrong is that I can't convince you

that everything is right. And it is. I

know you well enough to see you're

anything but trouble free.

Ohh, I'm fine, and I hope

I can count on you to

do what you're supposed to do

anytime that trouble comes your way.

I got nothing to say.

I'm fine, everything is OK.

Bothering me.

I'm here to help and guide

you. My lucky

*.

Dragon.

Sorry.

No complaints.

If you want I can make something

up.

Peace and comfort.

I can't think of a

thing to talk about.

Umm.

Talk about.

Nothing.

Music. Oh

oh, oh, oh, hush puppy, hush

puppy, why aren't you at the

club? I am. Ohh. Well then

who am I talking to? An

asparagus from outer space.

No, this is me, Hush puppies from

Interstate. Now what I meant to say is

I'm on my club assignment. What do you

mean? Well, you see, I'm working toward

my photography merit badge, and I decided

to make a video of all my friends

acting natural. Anytime

you're ready.

Umm, this is it. Ohh, this is boring.

Try upping supernatural. OK, I'll work on

it. Hush puppies, Darling, Do you have

any idea why Charlie Horse quit the club?

Well, you know, he said it was because

he wanted to play baseball. Can't be

that. Are you kidding?

And he was just run away from

a promotion. What merit badge did

citizenship? Merit badge, What did he

have to do? All he had to

do was no patriotic song. That's all.

That's all. And and seeing the patriotic

songs onto people and that's all. That's

all. Meaning of the words

of the song. And that's all. That's all.

That's all I remember. I just don't

understand it. It sounds so easy. You may

be jolly horse just doesn't like singing.

Ohh. Come on, Charlie. Not like singing.

Then maybe he doesn't like the sound of

his own voice. Well, maybe this and.

Maybe yes and maybe no. Well, maybe.

Good morning. Ohh. Yes, it is it, isn't

it? Well, I think so. I'm so pleased

to see you again. Ohh. Yes, of course.

You must be Jerry Lewis. No, that's not

it. Yes, that's it. That's it. I'm Shari.

And you are. Ohh.

Thank you for asking. Yeah, but I have

blanked on your name. My name? Ohh. Yes.

My name. My name or club leader? Mr.

Nichols? I know it as well as I know my

own name. Ohh. I'm really happy to see

you. And I've heard so much about you.

Your son Victor talks about you all the

time. Yes,

they both jabber away about you

endlessly. Twins, aren't they? Are you

here about Charlie? Yes. Or Victor?

I have no idea why it

happened, nor do I. Most mysterious,

What happened? Charlie Horse quit the

club. Why?So I'm asking you. Ohh.

So that's why you came to see me? No, you

came to see me, and I'm glad I did. It's

been very useful. But before you go, can

you think of any reason why Charlie Horse

would not enjoy singing?

You know.

I'm sure you did. Try

doubling his bird seed or tree.

Hey. I

have two things to say. Bye, Gary.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where

are you going?

I didn't even know you were in the

brownies. And now I have a meeting with

the brownie in the kitchen and the

brownies gonna be in me some Yum Yum.

Let's let Steven Steele thought Hush,

Puppy is working on his merit badge. Ohh,

yes, that was Johnny Harris. Not anymore.

How come? Well, we should get. It's

because Charlie Holt doesn't know any

patriotic sounds, right. Oh, oh, I know

that.

Which one?

You know that? Yeah. It's the one

that's all about Yankee Doodle went to

like, you know, town riding on a

pony, and he stuck a feather in

his cap and he called it macaroni

without. OK, sing it for us. Lamb

chop. Ohh. I couldn't.

I don't know the word.

Come in yet? No, not yet, darling. I'll

tell you when he's coming. Yeah. Ohh.

Here he is. Here he is. Ohh. No, that's

not him. He was a bug on my telescope.

What are we going to do when

we're going to get him to sing?

And they were going to compliment him

on his voice? Don't you remember? Ohh.

Yeah, right. Hush, puppy. Don't you see

Charlie yet? No, not yet. We're looking

for. I'm looking for you, Charlie Horse.

Not yet.

Poppy.

I'm looking behind me. Yes,

I'm looking. I'm looking. You

know you're not there, Charlie.

Huh. How about here?

Ohh, my goodness. Is that how you

slide into home plate? Everyone unlucky.

Ohh, that's great. Yeah. Grace Baseball

is good, isn't it? Yeah. I love

it. It's like that song goes hit

me out to the ball game. Take

a.

How does Take Me Out to the

ball game go? Yeah Take Me Out.

You give dogging cause it's rude, rude,

rude.

How does it go, Charlie? Because

it's Rd. Rd. Road for the

home team. If they don't win,

it's a shame because it's 123

strikes. You're out as the, you

know, blogging. That's how it goes.

That's wonderful. Ohh yes, Elvis lives.

That's a beautiful voice. Thank you. You

know that voice is nothing to be ashamed

of. Ashamed. I'm not ashamed of my voice.

You like the way you sing? Ohh, I

love it. It's long, full bodied,

masculine, dark, a strong. Ohh. He sounds

like a coffee commercial. Would you like

your voice? Why won't you sing a

patriotic song?Umm.

I don't like patriotic songs. Why not?

Well, they don't make sense. What do you

mean? Name a patriotic song that doesn't

make sense?

All the ramparts we watched parts of the

Rams have to do with the song. The

parts of a ram. Yeah. A ram is

a boy sheep, right? Lance child. Yeah.

Ohh, yeah, that's right. And and you ram

cooked his soup into ram pot. No, no,

it's not a ram pot. Parts.

One word doesn't mean. What does it mean?

No, I'm not going to tell you. I'm going

to show you. Ohh. Good. She's gonna show

us. No, not us. I'm gonna show Charlie. A

little privacy. Please, guys. Come on.

Come on, Come on.

Now, the word ramparts was from the Star

Spangled Banner, right? Yeah. This wall

that we built all around our castle to

protect it from attacks. Yeah. This wall

is a rampart. Yeah. That's got to be

like the song. Well, in the Star Spangled

Banner, the rampart is all around Fort

McHenry. Fortnite Henry and the sauce

bangle banner goes ohh say can you see by

the dawns early light, what so proudly we

hailed at the twilights last gleaming.

Words sound like English, but I don't

think they are. They're just a little

old fashioned, like a trolley car. What's

so proudly we hailed? What hail hailed

means welcomed. The guy who wrote the

Star Spangled Banner was happy to see

in the morning the same thing that

he had seen by the Twilights.

What's a gleam? A gleam is a little

ray of light. Let's twilight. Twilight is

the light that's left as the sun goes

down. Yeah, but what did

he see? What he saw was our

flag. Oh, oh, I get it. I'm

ohh. Say, can you see by the

first light of morning the flag that

we would happy to see when the

sun went down the night before? You

got it. Yeah,

I got it. OK. But Sharon

Sherry, what does it mean? It's

a story, Charlie. Ohh. I'll set

the scene. England and America had

gone to w*r, and now a

British fighting ship lay anchored on

the sea. The American Fort McHenry.

Stood on the shore, our flag waving high

against the evening sky as they waited

for the British shells to fly, as they

waited for the fight that was to be.

Now they've named the British fighting

ship the Minden, and she had many heavy

g*ns, as every man is short could tell,

but besides all the cannons.

Who'd been failing men before, American

men now prisoners of w*r. And these

prisoners were trapped below. Now a

visitor to the Mindin that day was

an American lawyer whose name was Francis

Scott Key. He was there to arrange.

The prisoner exchange as delicate attack

as you could ask, but he was

thrilled by 502 and eager to get

back. Unfortunately, that's the moment

that the British chose to attack. The

Linden started firing its cannons, then

you could see the shells exploding on

the port. Across the way Mr. Keys,

trapped on the ship, took out his

pen and started to write about the

fearful sight. The sun set at twilight,

yet throughout the night he could see

our flag still there, waving in the

Rockets red glare all through the attacks

of the 4th.

And in the midst of

early dawns, he saw our

flag still waving on. And

he wrote, Oh, say, does

that star spangled banner yet

wave? Or the land of

the free and the home

of the brave?Using our

flag was what he was hoping to

see by the dawns early light. This

song is a description of our courage.

So, Charlie, shall we go?

No, you go ahead. I'll, I'll be with

you, you know, in a little while. OK.

See you at the pizza.

Sure, we're a lot of

brave people in this country.

Ohh Say, can you see

by the dawns early light

what so proudly we hailed

at the twilight's last gleaming.

Good song.

My favorite day of week, Yeah

Ohh. No school, no work. I

can do anything I want.

Right, right, right. Jerry,

What? What should I

do? Anything you want

to do?Yeah,

but OK, let's see. I could. No,

maybe. No, I don't want to do

that. Ohh. You know, last Saturday.

Why?How

long is it till school? Two days.

Ohh. Excuse me. And and you could

come with me today. Ohh, that's nice.

Lunch shop. What are you gonna do?

I'm going to play with my friends,

but they're all girls. Mm-hmm.

I'll get my towels too.

Tell me more. Hey,

where are you going? Yeah, Jalen and

me, we're going to a ball game.

And hey, what's your favorite team? The

flaggers. What kind of a dumb question.

It's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you're

you're Tony Lamotta Junior. It's my hero.

Hero sandwich coming right up, Charlie.

I heard Charlie Horse telling the manager

of the Sluggers he's his hero dog.

He's mine too.

And I'll take that hero, if you don't

mind. Yeah. Thanks, Junior. Ohh. Please

take a seat. What can we do for

you, Mr. Lamotta? Tony. Tony. Tony. Ohh.

Snoozing on the beach yesterday. Yeah, I

heard this young fella singing the Star

Spangled Banner. Gee, I hope I didn't

disturb you. I mean.

Just because you'll miss some sleep.

As a matter of fact, I've never heard the

Star Spangled Banner sung with such

feeling. Surely. What a

beautiful compliment. Ohh, most singers

don't seem to take the time to to

figure out what the words really mean.

When I heard your star spangled banner.

I was. Charlie, I'm

trying to say anything. You

really like my singing, huh? Then can I

play shortstop? No, be honest. No

worries. Got it. Ohh,

I would like you to sing the Star

Spangled Banner, Slugger Stadium. Ohh,

you lean in the stands, you know, with

all the other people, you know, with the

fans on the field. You mean before all

the people come, before the game when the

fans are still there?



Listen, I'll tell you the truth. I don't

think I can. No, no, really, I I don't

think I can stand up there all by myself

and sing in front of everybody. Why not?

Well, I always feel dumb when I have to

sing in front of everybody all by myself.

Maybe that's why you don't want to go for

your patriotic badge. Maybe I don't want

to talk about it. Listen, this helps it.

Now if you wanna bring all your friends.

Yeah. To sing harmony or something in the

background. Yeah. Well, you sing the

melody of the song. No, that's OK By not

Johnny.

Yes. Wait, I'll see you

tomorrow.

Ohh no. Ohh yeah, no, I

can't. Of

course you do.

Yeah, but as a baseball player,

you'll be the first singing shortstop.

Ohh.

Look, I know it's scary. It's

scary.

They'll be playing the Cubs 30,000 Max.

Great. You think I can sing alone

in front of all those PayPal? No.

You won't be alone. It's like playing

baseball. You'll be out there with your

team. That's true. Yeah,

the guys. We'll be singing

with me in harmony. Harmony.

We can't do harmony.

Of course you sing harmony. Nah, Nah,

never. Ohh. Come on. Every time you

sing around, it's harmony. What do you

mean? Like when Holly sings Three Blind

Mice and you start a little late?

OK. Three

Blind mice Three Blind

mice 3. Price 3.

No it isn't.

At the same time, No, no, no. It's.

Harmony. Doesn't work

with just any song but your name.

Alright, why don't you pick another song

in the song and sing it as around can

go back. OK, sing Jingle Bells is around,

go ahead. Jingle

Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle

Bells, Jingle all the way.

It sounds so bad.

The notes don't go together. What do you

mean? Well, for harmony you gotta pick

notes that sound good together. Here,

sing this.

Umm.

You see, that's harmony. Two or more

notes that sound good together. Ohh.

Guys, would you come with me? Like

probably it's on. OK. OK Holly. OK, I'm

going to sing this note first and then

you sing it. OK.

La

La

la.

La

La.

OK, now let's sing all three notes

together.

Harmony. Now, when you sing the Star

Spangled Banner, you will sing the

melody. You'll name the tune that you

sing whenever you sing a song. That's it.

That's the melody. OK, Sing it. Sing Star

Spangled Banner now. Yeah, right now. OK,

everybody stand up. No, no, no. That'sit.

Can you see what I do

wrong? You didn't do anything wrong.

That's the melody. Yeah, well, here's

one harmony line. Ohh. Whose can

you see? You. Singer parts

together. Ohh.

Good.

Go ahead, sing it, Lammy.

Can you see? Good. Now

you 3 singer parts together

OK Together. Ohh OK can

you see?

Here's your part. Ohh no

no no. Can't

talk any louder, Mr. Nickels. OK, now

this is all I've got this secret

plan. And here's the part from the

pup. Ohh, this is hush. Puppy or

puppy.

Not bad, not bad at

all.

What is that date from the national

anthem sung by?

Mr. Charles Horse and the Music

Pizza Quartet. 8.



Are the land of

the free.

Congratulations club member Horse on

your patriotic band.

Ohh club member puppy. Yes,

yes, a merit badge in

photography.

To hang on the wall a painting of a

giant pizza painted by one of my club

members for his art merit badge.

Ohh, thank you, thank you. Now where

is it?

Ohh.

Excuse me, has anybody seen a

painting of a giant pizza?

Stop painting.

You can't see mine,

but we could still

be friends.





We will still be

friends.
