In this series opener, we see Sparky trying to hitch a ride. Benita is on
her way into "Rock City" and Funky Rat is driving her. The two nearly run
Sparky down. This alerts the Bugaloos, who come out to rescue him. Well,
Benita doesn't fare too well with her musical talents and decides she needs
a backup band. Thus, she kidnaps the Bugaloos and forces the male Bugaloos
to be her backup band, while holding Joy hostage. That is, until Sparky
manages to save the day!

Footnote: There is technically no chord (N.C.) being
played here. If you are playing this on keyboard, I
think a good way of playing it would be to hold down
E and B to get a droning effect. If you want to try
it as it's actually arranged:

Tranquility Forest is about 10 miles outside of town.
"Rock City" is the name of the town. Benita calls her Jukebox door-guard a "Freaked out Pheasant". Later in the series, it's referred to as a Peacock, which is really what it looks like, so I'm just going to assume that it is a Peacock. |
