04:33But you're a firefly.
04:35Fire...

04:38I tried it once and it scared me to death.
04:41I can't.
04:42Never say can't, mate.
04:43There's nothing to it.
04:44Just start flapping your wings.
04:46We'll help you.
04:47No, put me down.
04:48I don't want to go up in the apple pie.
04:50We go.
04:51Oh, let me down.
04:52Let me down.
04:53I'm getting nauseous.
04:55I think I'm going to throw up.
04:57You're doing great, pal.
04:58You're ready to go out alone.
04:59Right, here goes.
05:01No, don't let go.
05:02I'll crash.
05:06Help, get me out of here.
05:09He was right.

06:53I've been to the movies.
06:54I've been to the movies.
06:55I've been to the movies.
06:56I've been to the movies.
06:57I've been to the movies.
06:58I've been to the movies.
06:59I've been to the movies.
07:00You dumb-dumbs will never guess
07:01who I've been talking to in person.
07:04Uh, let's see.
07:06Peter Patter.
07:07The king of all disc jockeys.
07:09No.
07:10Wanna guess again?
07:11Guess again?
07:13I'm telling you like it is, you twin twerps.
07:18Peter Patter said
07:19if he likes my next record,
07:21he's gonna play it on the air.
07:22Now, how does that grab you,
07:23you wacky little weirdos?
07:25Groovy.
07:26Out of sight.
07:28Yeah.
07:28If Peter Platt uploads your record,
07:30it will sell a million.
07:33Maybe a billion.
07:35But you dumb-dumbs,
07:36you still haven't found me a rock group
07:38that can back me up.
07:39Did we ever let you down?
07:41We found them.
07:42And here they are.
07:45The Mop Heads.
07:50Holy humperdink.
07:52What a rock group.
07:54Where'd you find them? Under a rock?
07:57Go ahead, play, play.
08:02Put on your supersonic sneakers
08:03cause you're going to the party with me.
08:07Babe.
08:16Please, boss boy, take it easy.
08:19Yeah.
08:19That could become your big hit record.
08:22Oh, it'll be a hit all right.
08:24Watch.
08:27We'll really have to work on your flying, mate.
08:30Please, let's forget it.
08:32But you can't give up, Sparky.
08:34You've got to learn.
08:35Yeah, straight up, Sparky.
08:37How can you expect to carry out your duties
08:39as a firefly?
08:40I mean, you'd look pretty silly
08:41walking around at night, wouldn't you?
08:44Oh, I never go out at night.
08:47I'm afraid of the dark.
08:49Man, you've got more hang-ups
08:51than a clothes closet.
08:53I'm just a born loser.
08:56What kind of talk is that?
08:57Stop putting yourself down.
08:59If you don't believe in yourself,
09:01can't expect anyone else to.
09:12If you listen to the sounds
09:16that surround you
09:20you'll discover
09:22that you're never
09:24quite alone.
09:28Hear the earth
09:30and the sky

11:48Where is it?
11:50That group is out of sight.
11:52Where are you bringing them in from?
11:54They're out in the forest
11:56about ten miles
11:58outside of town.
12:00Oh, just listen to them.
12:02Oh, I've got to have them
12:04for my very own.
12:06I must, I must.
12:08Well, what if they won't come?
12:10Yeah, what if?
12:12Then we'll drag them by the guitar strings.
12:14Let's go.
12:16Come on, let's move it.
12:18Have a double.
12:32Hello, hello, hello.
12:34Blimey! Stone the crows.
12:36What is it?
12:38The bus just got in from Mars.
12:40It's her, it's her.
12:43I'm so happy it almost hit me.
12:45Well, now let's get down to business.
12:47I'm Benita Bizarre and I just dig your music.
12:49Yes, it really turns me on.
12:51It's just wild, wild great.
12:53Look at that mouth.
12:55What a newfound self.
12:57Look, I'm going to give you bugs
12:59the biggest break you ever had in your life.
13:01I'm going to let you make a hit record with me.
13:03Dig?
13:05Make a record with you?
13:07I'm sorry, Miss Bizarre, but we can't really accept your offer.
13:09You can't?
13:12Well, who asked you, sweet?
13:14After all, we only need one girl singing in this group
13:16and it's me.
13:18Sorry, chicky, but that's the record biz.
13:20But you're sweet.
13:22Come on, kiddies, I'm going to put you in the big time.
13:24Thanks, but no thanks, ma'am.
13:26Instead of making records,
13:28you should concentrate on safe driving.
13:30Right, you could have really hurt Sparky.
13:32Yeah, you could have really done him in.
13:34Oh, forget that little splash in the pan.
13:36I'm going to make you stars.
13:38Stars, stars.
13:40You mean he's turning me down?
13:42All of you?
13:44Well, you're sick. Sick, sick, sick.
13:46Come on, let's get out of here.
13:48I've had enough of these deadbeats.
13:50Come on.
13:52Sorry, chicky, but that's the bug biz.
13:54Did you see it?
13:56I didn't believe it.
13:58Boss, boss, you feeling all right?
14:00Yeah, we've never seen you give up this easy.
14:02Who's giving up?
14:04I'll teach those brats to give me the brush off.
14:06This is it.
14:09You mean...
14:11Yes.
14:13Get out my ultrasonic high-frequency stereo zapper.
14:15Blimey.
14:17It's her again.
14:19Yoo-hoo.
14:21Benita's back.
14:23Oh, have I got a surprise for you.
14:25What surprise is that?
14:27Oh, I thought you'd never ask.
14:29Sweet dreams, duckies.
14:33Time to go night-night.
14:35Well, turn it off, you dummy.
14:37I don't want them to go up in smoke.
14:39Still haven't played for me.
14:41Oh, they're mine.
14:43Oh, mine.
14:45Blimey.
14:47I finally have my very own British rock group.
14:51Okay, load them on.
14:53Oh, I tell you, the trouble you have to go through
14:55these days to find new talent
14:57just drives me out of my mind.
15:01Well, we're almost ready to start recording.
15:04Benita and the Buckaloos.
15:06How does that fare, Ben?
15:08We already told you, lady, no way.
15:10Look, we're not going to play for you,
15:12so you're blinking well better let us go.
15:14Oh, blinking well better let it go, eh, mate?
15:18Maybe a little torture might change your mind.
15:20What more can you do us?
15:22We've already heard you sing.
15:24Oh, that's cute. Cute.
15:26Oh, I'd like to...
15:28Oh, well, I...
15:30I wasn't intending to torture you, dear boys.
15:33No.
15:35I was just talking about your dear little friend...
15:37Joy.
15:39Joy!
15:41Help!
15:43What are you going to do with her?
15:45You shall soon see, sweeties.
15:49No, shut it off. We'll play for you.
15:51Oh, no, no, no.
15:53I'm going to make a real good chick out of her.
15:55Please help me.
15:57We'll make all the records you want.
15:59Help! Help!
16:01We'll play for you.
16:05I'm such a little devil.
16:13I'm ready. I'm ready.
16:15Finally.
16:17Finally, I'm going to have a hit record.
16:19I'm finally going to be a star.
16:21Love it. Love it.
16:25Now's the time to rush them, mate.
16:27Right. I'll grab a stereo zapper and you guys handle the other two.
16:30Blimey, no. We can't risk Joy getting hurt.
16:32But we've got to get her out of here.
16:34That old bat's a menace.
16:36I think I'm going to faint.
16:38Sparky, come on.
16:40Hey, just look at all those doo-dahs over there.
16:42Sure wouldn't take much to short-circuit that lot.
16:44Yeah. One more plug-in and zowie.
16:46It'd wreck the joint.
16:48And maybe in the excitement we'd have a chance to escape.
16:50But how could we?
16:52Where are we going to find...
16:54You mean me?
16:56You want me to zowie?
16:58Oh, no. I can't.
17:00Sparky.
17:02You've got to.
17:04For Joy.
17:06I'm ready.
17:08How's my groove, huh? All set to go?
17:10All set. Let's hit that groove, darling.
17:12Darling. Darling.
17:14Ah!

19:07So help me, I'll get you.
19:09That's the trouble
19:11with those darn stereo outfits.
19:13You just can't get the bugs out of them.
19:23Sparky,
19:25we're proud of you.
19:27You came through when we needed you most.
19:29You're a hero. You saved our lives.
19:31How about that?
19:33I didn't chicken out this time.
19:35It just goes to prove
19:38that you can do anything you want to
19:40as long as you've got confidence in yourself.
19:42You can even fly.
19:44Yeah, I can even fly.
19:46Oh, no.
19:48No, don't let go.
19:50You can do it.
19:52You've got to try.
19:54Go get him, Tiger.
19:56It's up and away.
19:58I can fly. I can fly.
20:00No, I can't.
20:04Sparky.
20:07That little blighter don't need confidence.
20:09He needs a parachute.
20:11Well, mates,
20:13back to the drawing board.
20:29The bugaloos,
20:31the bugaloos,
20:33were in the air and everywhere
20:35Flying high, flying loose,
20:37flying free as the summer breeze
20:39The bugaloos,
20:41the bugaloos,
20:43were climbing high and diving low
20:45Through the sky,
20:47across the land
20:49Straight to you with a helping hand
20:51Ready with a helping hand
21:01We are friends indeed
21:04Should you need if you ever need
21:08The bugaloos,
21:10the bugaloos,
21:12were in the air and everywhere
21:14Flying high, flying loose
21:16Don't forget to write.
21:18We love to hear from you.
21:20The bugaloos,
21:22the bugaloos,
21:24were climbing high and flying free
