The Eggs (2004) - S4EP07: County Music Blues

Min is showing something on her screen. Yolky asks her what it is, and Min says that it's an irregularly shaped planet with a variable orbit. Scramble says that it looks more like a musical instrument to him. Benedict asks what Min means by variable. Min explains that the plan's non-circular shape causes the planet to rebound erratically from system to system, so it's never in the same spatial location twice. Min plays the sounds coming from it, and Sunnyside gets excited about the music. Scramble hopes they're not flouncing off to collect music again. Sunnyside tells her that they are, as it's their mission, their destiny and what they do. Yolky tries to oblige Scramble to come with them, saying that it'll be fun. Scramble would rather watch Glasbelian Brain Quest on TV, as two ugly three-headed Glasbelians are in the final. Benedict thinks that Scramble is getting addicted to that TV set, but Scramble says that he's not. He tells the others to go, and says that he'll watch them on the viewscreen. Sunnyside feels bad for Scramble and wonders what he'd be like if the TV really did control him. Yolky jokes that he'd probably do more work, and the others laugh.

They arrive on the guitar-shaped planet, and they're in a Wild West-like environment. To their surprise and confusion... they notice three cowboys crying about something. Yolky tries to asks them if there's been an accident, but one of the cowboys says that there hasn't. Yolky asks what's making them cry, and they explain to them that they're on Wailin' World, and they always cry whenever they hear a sad song. Yolky asks if they're insinuating that they liked it, but they tell them that they loved it. Benedict suggests they add this rare and unusual music to their collection. Benedict, Yolky and Sunnyside run past them, and the cowboys briefly stop crying, before resuming their crying.

Later, Benedict, Yolky and Sunnyside arrive at a saloon. Upon hearing a cowboy singing a sad song onstage, their anger is replaced with surprise. Once the song ends, the customers start crying. Yolky asks one of the customers if he's feeling alright, and he tells her that they're doing fine. Benedict asks if they actually enjoy sad, mournful country songs that make them weep uncontrollably, and another customer tells him that they love to bawl their eyes out and enjoy being miserable. The customers ask for more, so the cowboy onstage sings a song about how he's broke, he set fire to his pants, his cat's in the pound and now he's grounded, and as a result, he's sad. The customers start crying, and the Eggs start to sympathise with him.
