Episode 241 - The Song of Confusion
Oh man, I have such clear memories of this episode. Or rather, I have such clear memories of having the stupid song stuck in my head for DAYS.
So clearly Cassie and Tanya need to go on tour together.
Anyway, we open with Cassie and some other girl doing an acoustic guitar show, and they're not half bad. Cassie suggests that they start a band, and Lt. Stone offers up the Juice Bar for their auditions. Divatox is all "And I will write them a song" and then she pulls out a guitar, and clearly this episode is going to be ridiculous.
I am not complaining.
Cassie and random blonde friend hold their auditions, and we get the "hilarity" of an accordion, bagpipes, bongos, a banjo, cymbals, and other random instruments that generally don't fit in a rock band. Then Bulk and Skull audition, and Skull is wearing all the eyeliner. (And um, Skull plays piano, did they forget already? He could totally play keyboards in their band.) Then a whole band shows up already - Crash and the Creeps. They start playing that freaking song and Cassie fails to ask the obvious question of "if they already have a band, why are they auditioning for hers?"
Random friend is all "I'll drop out and just write the songs so that you can join." This makes no sense, since it was her band.
TJ asks Cassie how it's working, and she tells him that she's performing that night, and he promises to be there. They play that stupid earworm again, and Cassie's friend is sad because they didn't play any of her songs, and Crash says they're not going to. She's super upset about it, but hey, she's the one who DROPPED OUT.
Carlos and Justin are being giant dorks, and it's adorable. They head out of the youth center, and run into some Pirahnatrons, and when that music starts playing AGAIN they can't stop singing it. Gee, I wonder if there's a spell or something in the song. It's a magic earworm.
TJ and the others are starting to get super sick of the song, when they get summoned to fight 5 monsters.
Crash tells Cassie that random friend is out. Crash and the Creeps will be broadcasting live from Angel Grove Lake, where their sound will take over the world.
The Rangers show up to the soundcheck and they realize that oh, Cassie's band is actually Divatox's band. They start playing that freaking song again and this time it causes the Rangers a lot of pain. I totally understand, I've had a lot of really ridiculous songs stuck in my head. They realize that if they destroy the instruments they'll stop the song. Fight scene. I guess the band is this season's version of evil Rangers? Since they match up colorwise?
Anyway, the monsters grow, they summon Zords, and it ends pretty quickly.
None of the Rangers can remember the song, and they're happy about it. If only all earworms were disposed of that quickly. Cassie apologizes to random friend and all is forgiven. Then Bulk and Skull show up with tubas.
Fish: 5. EARWORM.
Fic we want: So Skull plays keyboard in a band that consists of him, Cassie, Tanya and Kira.
