Episode #13

"The Bugaloos Bugaboo"



Episode Summary:
Sparky is unhappy because Gina Lola-Wattage has not written him. The Bugaloos insist that she's busy, but Sparky believes it's because she's a big Rock Star, and he's a "nobody". The Bugaloos insist he can be anything he wants to be, so Sparky decides to become a songwriter. With the help of the Bugaloos, Sparky pens a short ditty called "I Really Love You". This information makes it to Benita Bizarre who is told that *Sparky* is the real talent behind the Bugaloos, so she becomes "J.W. Wooster, Hollywood Agent, Extraordinare", and hires Sparky as her new songwriter. She then takes his songs and uses them in Peter Platter's "Big Talent Contest", for which the winner gets a guest shot on Peter's "Big TV Show". The Bugaloos go to retrieve Sparky from her clutches.

Semi-Opening Song: "I Really Love You"
    Look, at the big moon above
    I'm zonked and I'm zapped and I'm really in love

    I really love you, with all of my mind
    I'm a crazy lazy daisy, and the world's outta sight

    I really love you...


Closing Song: "It's New to You"
    Can it be?
    Is it real?

    Do you finally feel inside
    The fire I've been trying to hide for so long...

    Well it's new to you, but I've been loving you
    Yeah it's new to you, but I've been loving you
    Well it's new to you, but I've been loving you
    Long before you began...
    Loving me

    Can it be?
    Can we fly?

    Be together and try to say
    The things I've been dying to say for so long

    Well it's new to you, but I've been loving you
    Yeah it's new to you, but I've been loving you
    Well it's new to you, but I've been loving you
    Long before you began...
    Loving me

    Well it's new to you, but I've been loving you
    Yeah it's new to you, but I've been loving you
    Yeah it's new to you, but I've been loving you
    Long before you began...
    Loving me

Additional Notes:
Courage subscribes to "Playbug" magazine. :-)

The closing song, "It's New to You" is a new recording of an previously released song. This song is also featured in Episode #5.

In this new version of "It's New to You", you can actually hear Joy playing the tambourine.

The writers must be running out of ideas, because this is the second episode in a row that didn't have a new, full-length (for the Bugaloos, anyway) song. :-(
