[Kate] Wow, Melman,
for a little giraffe

who loved his bubble baths,

you sure have taken
to your new shower.

Now you're all clean
and ready to go.

[Carlos] Who's ready to party?

- [Melman] Huh?
- [Kate] Party?

My invite must've
got lost in the mail!

[Carlos] I'd never let
that happen to you!

That's why I'm personally
delivering your ticket

to tonight's annual country
music concert, Farm-a-palooza!

[gasp]

[Kate] That's been
sold out for months!

How'd you get such
great tickets?

[Carlos] We'll be so close to Big
Baa and his bleat-boxing sheep,

we could practically
ask them to dinner!

[gasp]

[Kate] Big Baa? The
singer-songwriter

who not only rescues animals
but performs with them?

[gasp]

[Carlos] So I take
it that's a yes?

[laugh]

[Kate] That's a
yes. Thanks, Carlos.

[Carlos] Great!
Get ready to rock.

♪ I'll be back another day ♪♪

[giggle]

[Carlos] Actually, I'll
be back in two hours.

- We'll take the bus!
- [Kate] I'd better clean myself.

I don't wanna go to a concert
smelling like a sea lion tank!

[giggle]

[Melman] Gloria, Alex, Marty!

[groaning]

[Gloria] Hey, there,
what's all the excitement?

[Melman] Nothing. Just Kate and Carlos
going to the biggest country festival

of the year starring my all-time
favorite musical artist, Lil Baa.

The bleat-boxing,
lasso-wielding,

country music sheep sidekick to
the superstar singer, Big Baa!

[Gloria] I didn't know you
were such a country music fan.

[Melman] Of course I'm a fan.

Almost every song
is about a truck!

- [Alex] Got it.
- [Marty] That makes sense.

[Melman] Can I
really be a true fan

if I miss out on the
country event of the year?

[Ant'ney] You don't have to!

[groan]

Cause this bird
just signed you up

for the next best thing!

[Melman] Wow,
Ant'ney, thank you!

But what could be better
than a Farm-a-palooza?

[Ant'ney] After-Farm-a-palooza!

The secret post-concert show

just for animal performers,
including Lil Baa!

I know how much you like
singing country music tunes.

- [Melman] How'd you know that?
- [Ant'ney] After I heard you singin' in the shower

I talked to a bird who
knows Lil Baa and...

Well, let's just say
they're making room for ya.

[giggle]

[Melman] I'm going
to see Lil Baa

at an all-animal
country music show?

[Ant'ney] Uh, no. You're
not going to see the show.

You're going to
sing in the show.

[Melman] I'm gonna sing
in front of Lil Baa?

How is this even possible?

[Ant'ney] Well, this crow who flew
in from Nashville, I knew her...

[Melman] This is the best
news in the whole world!

[Marty] A dream come true, Melman!
What are you going to sing?

[Ant'ney] Whatever he wants!

[Melman] I do have
this one song I wrote.

It's called "Let it rain."

[Alex] You wrote a
song about the weather?

- That sounds a little...
- [Gloria] Like the perfect fit

for After-Farm-a-palooza.

[Melman] You think so? Cause
I don't wanna mess this up.

Especially in front of Lil Baa.

[Alex] When I'm performing
for animals and I get nervous,

I picture them with
their fur shaved off!

- [Melman] Why?
- [Alex] It makes me laugh,

helps me shake off the
nerves! Always works for me.

That and a good practice run.

[Melman] I prefer my animals
with their fur on, Alex,

but a practice can't hurt.

I'll go shower and meet
you in a few minutes!

[Ant'ney] Shower?
You smell fine to me!

[Melman] Thanks! The shower's
where I feel most relaxed,

and when I'm relaxed,
I love to sing!

[Ant'ney] Whatever
floats ya boat, kid.

♪ Let it rain, let it rain ♪

♪ All over me ♪

♪ When it rains I can
do almost anything ♪

[Pedro] Melman, mi amigo!
What a wonderful song!

[Melman] Hi, Pedro! Hi, Pilar!
I didn't know you were there.

[Pilar] You looked so relaxed,
we didn't want to disturb you!

[Pedro] We were practicing
for our next dance competition

when we heard your lovely tune.

¡Muy memorable!

♪ So I say, let it rain ♪♪

[Melman] Hey, how'd you do that?

[Pedro] Just parroted
it back, I guess.

[Pilar] Thank you for
the warm-up dance,

it loosened our feathers
before the salsa competition.

- [Melman] No problem!
- [Ant'ney] Melman,

you should get moving,
show's about to start!

- I'll see you there!
- [Melman] Guess I better giddy up!

- Good luck!
- [Pedro] Right back at you!

[Pilar] Adios,Melman!

[Pickles] Iugh.

- Huh?
- [Melman] Howdy, Pickles, howdy, Dave!

That's country for hello.

[Pickles] What's
country for "pay up?"

[Melman] I'm not sure, but
can I get back to you on that?

I'm kinda in a rush. I'm gonna
sing on stage for Lil Baa.

[Pickles] You're going
to sing for Lil Baa?

We'll need proof.

Get us a photo of that rock star

holding our most prized banana

to put up in our banana
room, and you're on.

[Alex] You have a banana room?

[Pickles] Sorry, members only.

[groan]

[Melman] You got
yourself a deal, partner.

That's country for friend.

[Pickles] Much obliged!

[Marty] Yeah!

[Melman] Are you
sure I can do this?

[Gloria] Of course you can!

And we'll be right
there cheering you on.

[Alex] Now remember,

it's really important to
be a supportive audience.

That means lots of
clapping, nodding,

and when his big song is
over, a huge uproar like...

- Like that!
- [Big Baa] Thank you, New York!

Be kind to one another!

[Marty] The
concert's over! Hide!

[Kate] Whew, I can't believe he
drove a real tractor on stage

while playing guitar.

[Carlos] And shucking corn!

I bet if we met,
we'd be best friends.

He and I are so alike!

- [Kate] You and Big Baa?
- [Carlos] Yeah, why not?

Hey, wanna stay up late
and party like rock stars?

[Kate] I do! Where are we going?

- [Carlos] The arcade!
- [Kate] Oh. Can't wait!

[Carlos] Woo! High
school, here I come!

[guard] Show's over,
all the farm animals

are in their pens for the night.

I counted the sheep twice
before I started yawnin' myself!

Wanna try that new ramen
place down the street?

[whistle]

[barking]

[manager] Hang
on, one at a time!

One at a time!

[Marty] They're checking
in the performers.

[Alex] First impressions are
important, hold your head up high.

[Melman] Will they
see me from up here?

[Gloria] Don't worry,
you're squeaky clean

and you've got your song,
what could go wrong?

[Melman] I guess you're right...

[manager] Checking
in for the show?

[Melman] Howdy! I am
Melman and I'm here to sing

at the After-Farm-a-palooza.

[manager] Hmmm...
Melman, Melman...

Ah, there you are! You'll
be opening for Lil Baa!

[Melman] What do
you mean opening?

[manager] Opening. You're gonna
sing right before he goes on, man,

it is a big deal. All
eyes will be on you.

[Melman] Uh...

[Ant'ney] Don't
look so surprised,

I know birdies in high perches.

[manager] Congrats, cowboy. You
must be a real pro on stage.

[Melman] Yep. That's
me, a real pro on...

[squeak]

[manager] Sorry, I
didn't catch that.

[Melman] I just mean that I'm...

[manager] Is this
part of the act, or...

[gasps]

[Marty] Uh, yes!

Gonna be the best opening
act Lil Baa's ever seen, bye!

[manager] One at a time!

[Melman] What was that?

[Gloria] I'm sure it was just...

Actually, I have no
idea what that was.

[Melman] I wanted
to be squeaky clean

for my performance,
but I'm just squeaky!

[Alex] Sure you don't wanna
try my furless audience trick?

[Melman] All I want
is to sing my song

like a normal country rock star.

[Marty] I'm sure it was
just a one-time squeak-up.

[Melman] Yeah, maybe you're...

[squeak]

Aww...

[giggle]

[Carlos] Oh!

[Kate] Go ahead, Carlos.
I'll put in our order.

[Carlos] Thanks. I got


and some unfinished business
with that Weed Whacker game.

[grunt]

- [Kate] Hey, Sara.
- [Sara] The usual?

- [Kate] Yeah.
- [Sara] Another order of nachos,

extra cheese, extra jalapeños!

Nachos! Come and get it!

[Kate] Woah! Talk
about fast food!

Oh! I'm sorry, I
thought this was for...

- Big Baa?
- [Big Baa] Evening, ma'am!

No apologies necessary,

we can share while
you wait for yours!

Hope you like extra
cheese though.

[Kate] I love extra cheese!

I'm the cheesiest.

I mean, I'm cool with cheese.

[Big Baa] Alright, alright.

[Kate] Ug! I'm the cheesiest?

[Big Baa] Please! Dig in!

[Kate] So, do you always
travel by tractor?

♪

[Melman] I'm an embarrassment
to country... music!

How am I gonna sing for Lil
Baa if I can't even speak?

[Gloria] A few of the
bands are warming up,

why don't we shake it off
with some country beats,

you'll forget that
squeak ever happened.

[rats] Oh, yeah!

♪

[Ant'ney] Look, that band's
called Tuna Melt Delight.

It's Rocky's new cat-rat band.

[Alex] I can see why you
like this country stuff

so much, Melman, it's catchy!

[Melman] Yeah, they're great. I bet
Tuna Melt would never squeak up.

Listen to them,
they sound perfect.

♪ Rat Party! ♪♪

See? I wish I could
sound like that.

[Gloria] Melman! You
did sound like that.

You're singing, no more squeaks!

[Melman] You're right!
That's a big relie...

[hiccup]

- [Marty] What was that?
- [Gloria] A little hiccup.

Shake it off and keep singing!

[hiccup]

[Melman] I can't...
sing... like this!

[Marty] Your hoof's untied!

Boo!

[scream]

[hiccup]

It was worth the try!

[Melman] The squeaks...
were one thing...

But how do I... get rid of...!

[Marty] I'll get some water.

[Alex] Stay calm, your
voice is bound to come back.

At some point.

[Gloria] You can do this,

you didn't have any problem
singing at the habitat, right?

[Melman] 'Cause I was
singing in the shower.

[Marty] What does that
have to do with it?

[Melman] Showers are magical and
relaxing and make everything better.

What if I can only
sing in the shower?

[Alex] You could picture
your audience without fur...

[Melman] No. There's only
one way this is gonna work.

One of you is gonna
sing this song for me.

[Alex] I could be wrong,

but I don't think country
stars have understudies.

[Gloria] Besides, no one
else can sound like you!

[Ant'ney] Except
maybe Pilar and Pedro,

that whole parroting
thing they do.

They're almost as talented
as pigeons, ya know.

[Melman] That's it!

Pilar and Pedro can
sing in my place!

They don't need some
silly shower to... sing!

[Marty] They do sound like you.

[Gloria] I loved hearing
it come from you,

but if you really can't do it,

I guess they're the
next best thing.

[Melman] Ant'ney, could you
fly back to the... habitat

and ask them to be the
new Melman? Please?

I can't let... Lil Baa down.

[Ant'ney] You got it, stretch.
I'll be back before you can

hiccup.

[Big Baa] So, you're
into animals, huh?

[Kate] Why? Do I
smell like a sea lion?

Because I did not fall
into a giant tank today.

That would be super lame.

[Carlos] Hey, Kate, I just
got the high score on...

[gasp]

No way! Big Baa?

[Kate] Oh, uh,
Carlos. This is...

[Carlos] This is amazing,
this is too much!

I can't believe it,
we're your biggest fans!

Tell him, Kate! We're also
big fans of sea lions,

if you couldn't smell!

[Marty] Any sign of
Ant'ney and the parrots?

[Gloria] Not yet.

Pedro looks a little
less graceful than usual.

[Ant'ney screams]

[groan]

[all] Huh?

[Ant'ney] Don't ask!

[Melman] Ant'ney...
where's Pilar and... Pedro?

[Ant'ney] They were going
to their salsa competition.

But don't worry, they
sang the song to me

and I can "pigeon"

[Melman] What am
I going to... do?

Who'll sing my song for... me?

[Alex] I'm not much of
a country cat myself,

otherwise I'd be happy
to take the stage.

[Gloria] Melman,
I'm sure if you just

got past your nerves, you
could sing it yourself.

[Melman] No, I can't...
go on stage like this!

Hmmm... Gloria,
you're a great singer,

can you pretend
you're me? Please?

I can't let Lil Baa... down!

- [Gloria] I would sing it for you.
- [Melman] Thank you, Gloria!

- [Gloria] But I can't. I don't know how it goes.
- [Melman] Make something up!

It could be anything, as
long as it's about a truck,

and being sad and maybe
something about a tractor.

[Gloria] But,
Melman, we came here

so you could sing your song

- for your favorite country singer.
- [Melman] That doesn't matter!

I need someone to get on
stage and pretend to be...

[manager] Melman!
There's the kid!

I knew he was around
here somewhere!

Next time we get an opening
act, not a disappearing act.

[Lil Baa] So, Melman!
My manager tells me

you're my opening act. Can't
wait to hear your song.

[heartbeats]

Ready to saddle up for the
stage? You're on in five!

[heartbeats]

What's the matter? Cat
caught your tongue?

[Melman] Nope. I'm ready to...

[croak]

[Lil Baa] Sounds like
some dusty pipes.

- We'll get you some water...
- [Alex] Wait! Before you go,

can I get a quick photo
for a couple of fans?

- [Lil Baa] Oh, man. That's some flashy flash...
- [Alex] Look out!

[Lil Baa] Whoops! Sorry
about your snack, kid.

[Alex] Aw!

[manager] Let's take it to a
gallop. It's almost showtime!

[Melman] I... can't do... this!

[croak]

[Carlos] And the doctor said

he'd never met anyone with
elbows as ticklish as mine.

Can I be totally
honest with you, Big B?

[Big Baa] I'm all about honesty.

[Carlos] I have every
one of your albums.

I sleep in a Big Baa t-shirt!

And at work I sing
your songs into my mop!

[Kate] Uh, Carlos, I'm sure

a huge star like Big
Baa doesn't want to hear

about supply closet karaoke.

[Big Baa] Hold on.

Did I hear you say
you sing with a mop?

I sing with a mop!

[both] You do?

[Carlos] I like to
think of it is as my...

[both] Mop-rophone?

[Carlos] Yes!

[Kate] Okay, as long as
we're all being honest...

I totally fell into the
sea lion tank today.

water gets all the way down

that neck of yours in time.

Savin' it all for the
stage. I read you.

[Lil Baa] Sure thing.
I'll be just a minute.

You've got a quiet
confidence about you, kid.

Very quiet. Respect.

gotta get outta here!

Out for a pre-show stroll?

[Melman] I... escaped.

[Marty] You escaped
your musical hero?

[Melman] I'm just going to
embarrass myself! I was right.

- I can't do it.
- [Alex] You already did do it, this morning.

- [Melman] I told you, that's different.
- [Gloria] How?

[Melman] When I'm in the shower,

the water hits my ears and the
sound drowns out everything else

and all I hear is the
music in my heart!

[Alex] Hmmm...
Melman, that's it!

The shower is your
furless audience!

[Melman] My problem's
not fur, Alex, it's fear.

[Alex] No, I mean, that's how
you get over your stage fright.

For me, picturing my
audience without fur

calms my nerves and lets
me do what I do best.

Showers do that for you!

[Melman] Great, then I may as
well go home and sing there,

cause it's never gonna happen
here. Thanks for trying, Ant'ney.

Sorry to let you
and Lil Baa down.

[sigh]

[Alex] Wait! What if
it could happen here?

[Melman] Huh? What do you mean?

[Alex] What if we
bring the shower to you

then you can nail
your performance!

- [Melman] But how?
- [Alex] With this!

[gasp]

[Gloria] We'll gather all the
water this stadium has to offer

or at least all the
water in these bottles

and Ant'ney can fly up
and shower you from above!

[Melman] I dunno. It
sounds a little bananas.

But it just might work...

[Ant'ney] Thank you!

a bucket-load of water?

kinda pigeon myself.

Someone was thirsty!

Anyone know where
I can get a drop?

I need to wet my whistle
before I hit the stage!
