Yup, the Battle of the Pet Bands won'’’t know what hit '’’em.
Man, oh, man, we just gotta win this year.
But what about our arch enemy and next-door neighbour, Ronald?
You mean "DJ Ronald?"
Never fear!
I hereby proclaim that his three year reign as champion of Battle of the Pet Bands comes to an end this year!
ALL: Hurray!
I'’’d certainly say our chances are pretty great, considering how hard we'’’ve practiced.
We sure have.
Daisy'’’s never been better on the piano.
(Piano playing) Squeeks is a tour de force on the trumpet.
(Trumpeting) You just can'’’t beat Hal on the drums.
(Drums playing) Ah, and as for me and my lute... (Lute playing) ... don'’’t you love the beautiful sound of these lute strings?
(Lute playing) ♪ Good, good, good vibrations ♪ (Laughing) Yeah!
We'’’re gonna win.
I can feel it in the air!
Oh, yeah, I can feel it too!
Right over here-- no, wait, right here.
Oh, we need a band picture to document the day the Nature Cat Band achieved greatness.
Picture time!
Ah!
(Chuckling) Make sure you get my good side.
Say "Let'’’s rock!"
ALL: Let'’’s rock!
Let'’’s make music history.
♪ Onward and yonward!
Wah!
♪ Hey, where'’’s the wagon?
Oh, there it is.
(Gasping) Yipes!
Our instruments!
Get '’’em!
NATURE CAT: Instruments halt!
Halt!
Ronald, stop that wagon!
NATURE CAT: Ronald, help!
Oh, whoops!
(Chuckling maliciously) Oh, no!
Water, why'’’d it have to be water?
Look out!
I'’’ll save you!
Oh, no!
(Chuckling maliciously) This is so terrible.
How could this have happened?
(Chuckling) Are your instruments okay?
Well, let'’’s try '’’em.
(Horn sounding) Hey!
(Thumping) Really?
(Playing out of tune) Oh, come on!
(Playing out of tune) You'’’ve got to be kidding me!
(Playing out of tune) Oh, this sounds terrible!
I know.
I can'’’t get any good vibrations from these lute strings either.
Oh, man!
Everything is just too wet.
Gosh, this is just too bad.
And the Battle of the Pet Bands is about to start.
Do you think you can play or... will you have to forfeit?
To surrender is not an option!
We play!
Okay, well, you guys are up third, right after me.
Oh, and good luck.
You'’’re gonna need it.
Hey-oh, neighbourhood pets!
A big welcome to this year'’’s Battle of the Pet Bands.
Who'’’s ready for some music?
(Cheering) Oh, yeah!
So now give it up for today'’’s first band.
Here they are from the neighbourhood: Dog Gone!
(Sticks counting off) ♪ We sit around and wait all day ♪ ♪ Hey, hey ♪ ♪ You show up soon, but not to play, hey, hey ♪ ♪ Two, three, four, bark, bark, snarl and growl ♪ (Growling) ♪ We'’’ll never throw in the towel ♪ (Growling) ♪ We'’’ll do what we have to do today ♪ ♪ To keep that mailman away ♪ Oh, what do we do, what do we do?
(Groaning) How can we play now?
We'’’ll find a way to play in the Battle of the Pet Bands!
We just need to think, think, thin.
Think, think, think!
(Thunking log) Think, think, think!
(Thunking) Hmmm...
Think, think, think!
(Thunking) Okay, think-- What?
What did I do?
Hal, you'’’re a genius!
I am?
What do you know?
I'’’m a genius.
(Chuckling) Wait, what'’’s a genius?
Keep hitting that log, Hal.
(Thunking) Hey, this sounds like a drum!
I am a genius!
(Thunking) Wait, you guys, Hal found something in nature to make his instrument.
We need to do that too!
Quickly, for the sake of the band, find something not wet that can vibrate.
Tally ho!
Hmm... nope.
Hey, maybe we could make music with these shells.
(Clacking) Tally ho!
(Clinking musically) Man, oh, man, what a great sound!
Hey, we'’’re onto something.
Oh, no, Ronald'’’s up and after him it'’’s our turn.
We need to find two more instruments.
Hurry!
(Hooting harshly) (Playing flute-like note) Tally ho!
(Fife playing) Oh, this sound rocks!
(Fife playing) Two, three, four!
(Instruments playing) (Instruments playing) Uh, guys, we'’’re not making music.
We'’’re making a musical mess.
ANNOUNCER: Oh, yeah, that'’’s right!
Our next performer needs no introduction.
It'’’s the three time champion of the Battle of the Pet Bands.
So, get out of your seat and get ready to move and groove with the one and only DJ Ronald!
Who'’’s ready to hop, hop, hop around?
(Crowd cheering) (Record scratching) (Techno music playing) ♪ ♪ Bim, bam, boom ♪ (Techno music playing) ♪ Bim, bam, boom ♪ (Techno music playing) ♪ Look what the cat dragged in ♪ I need to find one more instrument now.
Tally ho!
♪ Look what the cat dragged in ♪ ♪ Ziggy-zaggy, ziggy-zaggy, ziggy-zaggy-zig ♪ ♪ Ziggy-zaggy, ziggy-zaggy, ziggy-zaggy-zig ♪ ♪ Ziggy-zaggy, ziggy-zaggy, ziggy-zaggy-zig ♪ ♪ Ziggy-zaggy, ziggy-zaggy, ziggy-zaggy ♪ (Instruments playing) Wait, wait, wait.
This just doesn'’’t sound right.
Doesn'’’t sound right?
It sounds terrible!
Why do we sound so bad?
We should just play like these are our real instruments.
Oh, yeah!
Daisy, you make loud and soft sounds, I'’’ll make the tune and Hal...
I got the beat!
Two, three, four!
(Thunking) (Clinking) (Instruments playing) ♪ Hey, Nature Cat, it'’’s almost our turn!
(Horn sounding) (Chattering) (Techno music playing) ♪ Look what the cat dragged in ♪ No!
Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Whoa!
It'’’s going to be real tough to beat DJ Ronald.
But we have one more band.
So, here they are.
It'’’s the Nature Cat Band!
Two, three, four!
(Thunking) (Fife sounding) (Laughing) (Instruments playing) ♪ (Rattling) (Rattling) (Trumpeting) (Instruments playing) Where'’’s Nature Cat?
I don'’’t know!
What should we do?
NATURE CAT: Tally ho!
(Trumpeting, crowd cheering) ♪ All right, listen up, everybody.
We'’’re going to do something a little different now.
We want you to find your own nature instrument and join in!
(Clinking) ♪ (Laughing) It'’’s a nature instrument jam session.
Hit me!
(Instruments playing) I guess we know who won this year'’’s Battle of the Pet Bands.
And the winner is the Nature Cat Band!
What?!
No way!
I want a recount!
I want a redo!
I want a-- whoa!
