01:09It can't miss.
01:11I've got to have a word that rhymes with June.
01:14June.
01:15Moon.

01:18Prune.
01:19Swoon.
01:20Goon.
01:21That.
01:21Moon.
01:22No, you far-off freakies.
01:24I don't want words that everybody uses.
01:26Can't you think of one that goes with June?
01:30Oh, July.
01:34What?
01:34No.
01:35The bugaloos, the bugaloos, we're in the air and everywhere.
01:43Flying high, flying loose, flying free as a summer breeze.
01:49Happy as a summer breeze.

02:04Good morning, everybody.
02:07Courage.
02:10Courage.
02:15Harmony.
02:19IQ.
02:21Are you sleeping?
02:24Are you sleeping?
02:26Joy.
02:28Where is everybody?
02:30Help.
02:31Help.
02:32I'm alone.
02:38Where'd you go?
02:39You left me.
02:40You left me alone.
02:41I was awful terrible.
02:43Oh, come on now, Sparky.
02:45Pull yourself together, mate.
02:47It was horrible.
02:48I opened my eyes.
02:49You know who I saw?
02:50Nobody.
02:51That's who I saw.
02:53Hey, we just took the buggy out for a little spin.
02:55You were still sleeping, so we didn't waken you.
02:58You shouldn't be afraid to be alone, Sparky.
03:00Right.
03:01You're a smart little fella.
03:02Just use your gingerbread.
03:04Gingerbread?
03:06You know, your lump of lead.
03:08Huh?
03:09Your head, man, your head.
03:12Gosh, you talk funny.
03:14Look, Sparky, you're in Tranquility Forest.
03:17There's nothing to be frightened of here.
03:20Are you sure?
03:24Sparky, Sparky, let your light shine on.
03:32Oh, Sparky, if you want the gray clouds gone, don't be afraid.
03:43Stand up and fly.
03:45The sun will find you.
03:47Don't be afraid.
03:50Light up, light up, Sparky.
03:54You can sail above the trees.
03:58Oh, Sparky, what you're doing on your knees, don't be afraid.
04:09Why don't you try?
04:11We're all behind you.
04:13You'll have it made.
04:17It's all right.
04:19We can help you if you let us.
04:22This is your day.
04:26Believing can bring you all the way.
04:32Hear me, Sparky.
04:35Won't you let your light shine on?
04:39Oh, Sparky, soon your fear will all be gone.
04:48Howdy, boy. How about it, Sparky?
04:50Gosh, thanks. I feel a lot better now.
04:53And you'll never be afraid to be left alone again.
04:56Never.
05:04I've got it. I've got it.
05:06Beautiful Benita. Beautiful Benita.
05:09You are gorgeous. You're divine.
05:12Dainty Benita. Saintly Benita.
05:15I'll kill myself till you are mine.
05:18It's a hit. It's a hit.
05:20This'll be a golden record.
05:22Ja, liebchen. It was sheer poetry.
05:28It was sheer nonsense. That's what it was.
05:30It was putrid, just like all the others.
05:32You, you, you tone-deaf weirdo.
05:34You're gonna get it. Oh, you're really gonna get it.
05:39What the hell?
05:42Ach, Himmel, we accidentally turned on the radar.
05:45It's the Buggaloos.
05:47Oh, we're picking up Tranquility Forest.
05:49Listen to those buggy brats.
05:51They come up with a new song every five minutes.
05:54What have they got that I haven't got?
05:56Talent.
05:59You're asking for it. You're really gonna get it.
06:03Wait a minute. Of course.
06:06That's it. That's it.
06:08What's it?
06:09The Buggaloos live in Tranquility Forest.
06:12That must be where they get all their inspiration.
06:14Ja. The bees, the birds, the flowers.
06:18So that's who they've been swiping all their songs from.
06:22Ja. And now we're gonna start to do a little swiping on our own.
06:34Wave bye-bye to the big city kings.
06:37Tranquility Forest, here we come.
06:44Oh, oh, this looks like a divine spot.
06:49Oh, just breathe that beautiful, cool, clean, fresh air.
06:54Oh, hello.
06:56All right, wise guys, cut it out and start unpacking.
07:02Oh, I think I feel a song coming on.
07:05Oh, it's so exciting roughing it.
07:08And I, I feel so, so woodsy.
07:13Oh, Mother Nature, do your thing and lay that groovy inspiration on me.
07:18Oh, oh, oh.
07:21Hi, little bird.
07:22Oh, oh, there goes the neighborhood.
07:28I am not afraid to be alone.
07:31I am not afraid to be alone.
07:34I am not afraid to be alone.
07:42I think it's beginning to work.
07:44And I'm not afraid to be alone.
07:48Cut it out.
07:49Hey, watch out, hey.
07:52Get off of me.
07:55Quiet, you bumbleheads.
07:57I came here to write a song.
07:58I need inspiration.
08:00If I wanted a dirty mess like this, I could have stayed home.
08:04Shh.
08:05Someone's coming.
08:07I'm not afraid to be alone.
08:09Hi, folks.
08:10I'm not afraid to be alone.
08:13I'm not afraid of...
08:16Bonita Bizarre.
08:18Grab him.
08:19It's the twerp who lives with the bugaloos.
08:22He's spying on us.
08:23A little schnooper.
08:26They must have sent him here to steal my song
08:28so they could win the Peter Platter contest.
08:30No, I'm just a kid.
08:32I'm not old enough to steal.
08:35You know what we do with spies.
08:38Can I have a hundred guesses?
08:40Sure.
08:41Let's string him up and use him as a night light.
08:45Yeah.
08:46What's he doing?
08:47Hey, look out.
08:52Hey, mate, have a look at this.
08:54Looks like plain rubbish.
08:55It is.
08:56Well, you better get your money back, darling,
08:58because we've got all the rubbish we need.
09:00I found it in the river.
09:01Water polluters?
09:03In Tranquility Forest?
09:05Well, I'm going to fly upstream.
09:06I'll give him a bit of what for.
09:08Cool it, Courage.
09:09We've got to figure this out calmly.
09:11Sparky!
09:12What's happened?
09:15I was walking in the woods,
09:17practising being alone,
09:19when all of a sudden, they jumped on me.
09:21They?
09:22How many were there, Sparky?
09:23Well, I think about a hundred.
09:25That poor child is hysterical.
09:27Sparky, who jumped you?
09:30Bonita Bazaar.
09:31That's who it was.
09:33Bonita Bazaar?
09:34What's that old rat bat doing in our forest?
09:36She's jumping on people.
09:38That's what she's doing.
09:44Something is coming over the grapevine.
09:46I smell something.
09:48It's not a skunk.
09:50Smaug.
09:51Smaug doesn't smell stupid.
09:52Somebody's built a fire.
09:54That tops it.
09:56No time to be calm now.
09:57Let's go.
09:59I can't leave Sparky.
10:01I'm not afraid to be alone.
10:03I'm not...
10:04Oh, yes, yes, I am.
10:06Hurry, boys, hurry.
10:08Fire.
10:09Move along there.
10:10Hurry.
10:11If that fire heads this way...
10:12Instant grape jelly.
10:24Mood.
10:25I've lost the mood.
10:27The whole world is waiting for my song.
10:33Funky.
10:35Your diminished steak will be finished in five minutes.
10:39Forget the steak.
10:40Put out the smoke.
10:43He's got me talking that way now.
10:46There it is.
10:47Fire at six o'clock.
10:49Bombs away.
10:54What was that?
10:55Fire.
10:56Try on target.
10:57Good show.
11:00Those rotten bugs did it.
11:02Who do they think they are?
11:04Let's talk it to them.
11:06What's the big idea?
11:08Sorry, but we had to do that, ma'am.
11:10We have rules here in the forest.
11:12Oh, I didn't know.
11:14And fires are a big, fat no-no.
11:17A big, fat no-no?
11:20Cute, cute.
11:22Laugh it up.
11:24So we'll have to ask you to leave Tranquility Forest.
11:28Why, you let me at him, I'll get him.
11:31Now, now, now.
11:32You know how I hate violence.
11:34Get the big Z.
11:37I'll tell you what.
11:38You're such cute little bugs,
11:39I'd like to give you a big present before I leave.
11:41A present?
11:42To us?
11:43Oh, come off it.
11:44Oh, really?
11:45Funky?
11:47Give it to him.
11:48Ja, mein lieber.
11:53Cut, cut.
11:54We don't want to overdo it.
11:58They just didn't have any manners.
12:00Rude.
12:01Ja, very rude.
12:04You gave him such a nice present,
12:06and they didn't even say thanks.
12:12Someone's coming.
12:13Someone's coming.
12:14Oh, five.
12:15It must be the boys.
12:17I bet they took care of that rotten lady.
12:20It's not the buggles.
12:21Someone else is coming.
12:22Oh, it's Benita and her gang.
12:23Oh, no.
12:24What could have happened to...
12:26Something's wrong.
12:27Quick, hide.
12:28Don't let them see you.
12:29It's big trouble.
12:30Get out of sight.
12:34Well, this is more like it.
12:37Oh, what a crazy pad.
12:42Beautiful.
12:44I should be able to write a thousand hits here.
12:47Oh, I say,
12:48it is awfully sporting of those buggy gliders
12:50to load us those digs for a fortnight or two.
12:52Eh, what, chaps, eh, what?
12:54Oh, good.
12:56And all that sort of rot.
13:00We've got to go see what happened to the boys.
13:04She killed them.
13:05She killed them.
13:06And it's all my fault.
13:08They're still breathing.
13:09I think they've been zapped.
13:12Is that worse than being killed?
13:15I've got an idea.
13:17It's a chance in a million to save the boys.
13:20I'll do it.
13:21We've got to go back and get that zapper.
13:24You better do it.
13:25I mean, well, I'll stand guard here.
13:28Good idea.
13:29I'll be back as soon as I can.
13:33Hurry.
13:39All this green
13:41Has control
13:43Of the delicate soul
13:47And this nature girl
13:51This nature girl
13:57If I wanna
13:59Hug the flora
14:01Or the fauna
14:04And the buggy booze
14:06The buggy booze
14:08Cause I'm a nature girl
14:11A nature girl
14:13I ain't never
14:15Going home
14:20If I can't
14:22Put on my knees
14:24Lifting here
14:26Among the weeds
14:29And the buggy booze
14:31All the buggy booze
14:35Cause I'm a nature girl
14:38A nature girl
14:40I ain't never
14:42Going home
14:50It was fantastic.
14:51If I must say so myself.
14:53You did it, Book.
14:54You did it.
14:55You wrote a hit.
14:58Bravo, bravo.
14:59More, more.
15:01Wherever you go, music lovers.
15:06Sparky.
15:07Sparky.
15:08Oh, oh.
15:10Oh, gosh.
15:11Am I glad to see you.
15:13Hurry, do something.
15:14I don't think they can last much longer.
15:17What are you gonna do with that thing?
15:19Well, the only chance we've got to save the boys
15:22Is if we unzap them.
15:24Unzap them?
15:25How are you gonna do that?
15:27Well, this button says reverse.
15:29I'm hoping it means what I think it means.
15:32If you know any prayers.
15:34Now I lay me down to sleep
15:36With a bag of peanuts at my feet.
15:39I better just do it.
15:40Here goes.
15:59Oh, boy.
16:01You did it, Joy.
16:02You did it.
16:03Joy did what?
16:04What happened?
16:05Careful, love.
16:06You could hurt someone with that.
16:08Benita Bizarre.
16:09She zapped us.
16:10Blimey, how did we get out of that RV nickel?
16:13Where's your pickle?
16:15Hey, I'm beginning to understand you.
16:18Well, Joy swiped the zapper and she unzapped you.
16:21She did?
16:22Oh, wow.
16:23Thanks, Joy.
16:24Thanks a lot.
16:25Sparky and I thought you were all done in.
16:27Well, we're not.
16:28And we're ready to start a little doing in of our own.
16:30Yeah, where are the mangy blighters?
16:32They took over up ahead.
16:34What?
16:35They moved right in.
16:36Well, we'll just have to move them out.
16:38We'll tear them apart.
16:39Yeah.
16:43Let's give them a dose of their own medicine.
16:45Come on.
16:46You know violence isn't our bike.
16:47We've got to get them out of Tranquility Forest.
16:50Yeah, how are we going to do that without a fight?
16:52We've got to teach them a lesson they'll never forget.
16:54Ho, ha, he, ha.
16:56Come on.
16:57Hey.
16:58Help.
16:59Help.
17:00Help.
17:02Sparky, you shouldn't go around scaring folks like that.
17:06Sorry, I didn't mean to.
17:09Hold it a minute.
17:11I think good old Sparky's come up with the answer.
17:14Yeah?
17:15And I didn't even hear the question.
17:17So turn around, kiddies, and lend me your tears and cheers.
17:21Tears and cheers?
17:23Here's.
17:31Ooh.
17:35Ooh.
17:38Ooh.
17:41Ooh.
17:45Ooh.
17:48What was that?
17:50If we're lucky.
17:51Ooh, it was an owl.
17:53It's really spooky around here.
17:56What's the matter, dumbcuffs?
17:58Afraid of the dark?
18:00Don't go to sleep. We've had a busy day.
18:04Well, if there's anything I'm not afraid of, it's...
18:07Ooh!
18:08It's...
18:09It's...
18:10What's the matter?
18:12You look as if you've seen a ghost.
18:13It's...
18:14Ooh.
18:15It's...
18:16Ooh.
18:18What is it now?
18:20It was a ghost.
18:22A ghost?
18:23Oh, that's a good one.
18:25It was. It was.
18:27We saw him.
18:28Yes.
18:29Well, the next time you see him,
18:32show him to me, and I'll shlug him.
18:35I'll kick him.
18:37I'll twist him around.
18:39I'll...
18:40Ooh.
18:41Ooh.
18:42Ooh.
18:43Ooh.
18:44Ooh.
18:45Tell him I was only fooling
18:47some of my best friends' ghosts.
18:50Hello?
18:51Big-ass ghost in here?
18:53Oh!
18:54What's going on out there?
18:58What's with you ninnies?
18:59What, are you having a nightmare or something?
19:01No, boss.
19:02We're having ghosts.
19:04They're all over the place.
19:06Hundreds of them.
19:08Ghosts?
19:09Ha-ha-ha-ha.
19:10You trying to tell me this place is haunted?
19:12Yes, boss.
19:13Well, that's the most ridiculous thing I ever...
19:15Ha!
19:16Ooh!
19:17Ooh!
19:18Ooh!
19:19Ooh!
19:20Help!
19:22Beware, polluters, beware.
19:25Beware!
19:26Beware!
19:29Wait a minute.
19:30There's something very familiar about these ghosts.
19:33You know it, darling.
19:35We're the ghosts of the Buggaloos.
19:39The Buggaloos?
19:41You rotten rat.
19:42You almost zapped them.
19:44You killed them.
19:45Yeah.
19:46And they've come back to haunt us.
19:50Help!
19:51Let's get out of here!
19:52Help!
19:53Help!
19:54Help!
19:55Help!
19:56Help!
19:57Help!
19:58Nice work, me ugly hotties.
20:00We sure sucked it to them.
20:02I'll bet that's the last we'll see of their ugly hairs and graces.
20:06Faces.
20:08Golly, I never saw anyone that scared.
20:11Not even me.
20:12So you should learn a lesson from all this, Sparky.
20:15There was nothing really to be afraid of.
20:17And if you just use your gingerbread, there usually never is.
20:21I know, I know.
20:22I learned, I learned.
20:24I'll never be afraid of anything again.
20:26Never.
20:30Boo!
20:35Hey, kid.
20:36Can I get in on the fun?
20:40Sparky!
20:41Sparky!
20:42Sparky!
20:46The Buggaloos.
20:47The Buggaloos.
20:50We're in the air and everywhere.
20:52Flying high.
20:53Flying loose.
20:55Flying free as a summer breeze.
20:58The Buggaloos.
21:00The Buggaloos.
21:01We're climbing high and diving low.
21:04Through the sky.
21:05Across the land.
21:06Straight to you with a helping hand.
21:10Ready with a helping hand.
21:13Shh, shh, shh, shh.
21:15Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

21:28We're in the air and everywhere.
21:30Flying high.
21:32Flying loose.
