Rocko: heff?

Hey, rocko.

Why was everyone singing?

We've just got a song in our hearts.

How do you all know the words?

Did you rehearse?

Yeah, every thursday.

Didn't you see the flyers?

Well, heff, let's get this garbage

To the city dump.

♪ To the dump, to the dump ♪

♪ To the dump-dump-dump ♪

♪ Dump-dump-dump-dump! ♪

Sorry, bud, the dump is full.

Full?!

You heard me.

But what about my garbage?

Where will it go?

Hey! What's the hold up?

There's no room to dump our trash.

What are you talking about?

There's plenty of room right over there!

(Birds singing )

That's a park, mr. Bighead.

So what?!

I don't use it!

But you can't just dump your trash anywhere.

Of course I can.

♪ What the heck are you thinking? ♪

♪ These barrels are stinking! ♪

♪ I got to dump this goo ♪

♪ Before I barf and gag ♪

♪ It's thanksgiving for maggots ♪

♪ Get lost before I dump on you! ♪

♪ Fish are brainless finheads ♪

♪ So I dump my trash in the bay! ♪

♪ Birds are bird-brained pinheads ♪

♪ So my gunk infests up their filthy nests ♪

♪ Because nature stinks anyway ♪

♪ So I'm sick of you glumpsters sniffing my dumpsters ♪

♪ 'Cause crud can smell like a rose ♪

♪ Besides the filthy stench won't even get my attench ♪

♪ 'Cause a toad ain't even got a nose! ♪

(Splat )

♪ So get out of my face ♪

♪ While I scum up this place ♪

♪ With my beautiful toxic goo ♪

♪ Wish I could sh**t this waste into orbit in space ♪

♪ So the sky'd be filled with garbage, too! ♪

(Laughs giddily )

♪ Yoo-hoo-hoo! ♪

But mr. Bighead, that's not very good

For the environment.

Who cares about the environment?

We should take care of it.

Man: that's right!

Onlyyou can clean up the planet.

Look, everyone!

It's murky the bear!

No, no.

Down here.

Oh!

I mean, captain compost heap!

So how can we help, c.c.h.?

Glad you asked.

I just happen to have some visual aids.

First of all...

♪ R-e-c-y-c-l-e, recycle ♪

♪ C-o-n-s-e-r-v-e, conserve ♪

♪ Don't you p-o-l-l-u-t-e ♪

♪ Pollute the rivers, sky or sea ♪

♪ Or else you're gonna get what you deserve ♪

♪ The ozone is in horrible condition ♪

♪ From fluorocarbons in our atmosphere ♪

♪ They are too small to be seen by normal vision ♪

♪ But there's getting to be more of us each year! ♪

♪ We come from a variety of places ♪

♪ Like styrofoam containers and aerosol cans ♪

♪ We love to eat the ozone, it's our favorite dessert ♪

♪ And if you don't have an ozone then the sun can really hurt ♪

♪ You must admit we make a lot of garbage ♪

♪ This dump is filled up way above the brim ♪

♪ If we don't make an effort to recycle ♪

♪ The future could be looking mighty grim. ♪

Look, it's the grim recycler!

No autographs, please.

♪ Someone's cutting down the o-town forest ♪

♪ It's not enough to sit around and grieve ♪

♪ If we don't protect our flora and our fauna... ♪

(With german accent ): then we won't have the oxygen to breathe.

(Deep breath )

♪ R-e-c-y-c-l-e, recycle ♪

Recycle!

♪ C-o-n-s-e-r-v-e, conserve ♪

Conserve.

♪ Don't you p-o-l-l-u-t-e ♪

♪ Pollute the rivers, sky or sea ♪

♪ Or else we're gonna get ♪

All: ♪ what we deserve! ♪

What a sappy song!

But sappy as it is

It still makes a good point.

What do we say, everyone?

Let's clean up o-town!

Hurray!

Well, mr. Heap

Pretty clean, isn't it?

Well, yes and no.

What do you mean?

Who isn't doing their part?

Them!

(Liquid gurgling )

Conglomo, eh?

Well, that's big business.

(All muttering )

Wait! We're not going to let them

Get away with this, are we?

Well, yeah. That's conglomo.

They own everything.

They even own city hall.

And you know what they say.

It's going to be a song, isn't it?

♪ You can't fight city hall ♪

♪ You can't fight corporate america ♪

♪ They are big and we are small ♪

♪ You can't fight city hall! ♪

I know it seems like the little person

May not make much of a difference in this world.

But if you get enough little people together

Then you've got a... A... Oh, what's the word?

An unruly mob?

Yeah!

I mean, no.

What I mean is, if we all band together

We'll be like a large group of people

Who've all, um, um, banded together.

Oh, this isn't going very well.

No, no, rocko, look!

You're mesmerizing them!

We've got to fight for what we believe in!

I say we march down to the conglomo building right now

And give them a piece of our minds!

Are you with me?

I said, are you with me?

♪ I guess we might as well. ♪

That's the spirit!

♪ We've all got nothing better to do ♪

♪ And this dump is starting to smell ♪

♪ So we'll march downtown with you. ♪

We demand to see the board of directors!

And you would be?

We're a big unruly mob!

♪ We're a big unruly mob. ♪

Well, actually, we're the concerned citizens of o-town.

And you were sent by?

A big pile of rotting vegetable matter.

♪ A great big rotting pile. ♪

Well, a compost heap

But the description is accurate.

And do you have an appointment?

This was sort of a spur of the moment, spontaneous thing.

Un-huh. Then how do you all know the words?

Ooh, boy.

He's got you there, rock.

I don't know the words!

♪ He doesn't know the words. ♪

Shut up!

Sorry, you can't get in without an appointment.

Oh.

♪ I guess we'll all go home. ♪

No! Wait, guys!

Don't give me this appointment stuff.

We are the customers.

It's our business that keeps your business going.

So iinsist you let me speak to the board of directors.

All right, whatever.

Really?

Thanks.

(Shoes squeaking )

(Clears throat )

My name is rocko.

And, well, I represent a group of consumers who, well, uh...

We've just noticed lately that your company

Has been polluting the rivers and destroying the forests.

And, we'd like you to, uh... Maybe you could...

R-e-c-y-c-l-e

Recycle?

Why is he spelling?

There's a catchy tune that goes with it

But I missed the rehearsals.

Well, mr. Rocko, we're rather busy.

So if you would just get to the point!

The point?

Uh, well, the point is...

If it hadn't been for you lousy do-gooders

I wouldn't have had to do anything!

You and your lousy song!
