Episode 3110

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Baby Bear enters Birdland, where he hears Hoots playing the saxophone. He asks Hoots to teach him to play an instrument, and Hoots explains that it takes a love of music, an instrument of choice, and a lot of practice to become a good musician. Baby Bear immediately starts playing the piano tunelessly, insisting he doesn't need to practice. He imagines opening up his own jazz club, Bearland, and playing the piano there every night - yet, even in his imagination, he drives his customers away with his tuneless playing, so he decides that the piano is not for him. He goes off to think about which instrument he wants to play instead.

 	Cast 	Gordon hosts "What Happens Next," in which the viewer has to guess what kind of humiliation Maria as Chaplin is going to face before Gordon rings the Dinger's ding-dong bell.

Finally, when a rain cloud is about to rain on him, he shifts the cloud over to the left of the screen so it rains on Gordon instead.

 	SCENE 2 	Baby Bear has decided that he wants to play the saxophone, just the way Hoots plays it. Hoots says that everyone who plays the saxophone plays it differently, and tells him the story of a clarinet player named "Goldenlicks" ("licks" being a jazz music term), with Goldilocks as the title character. In the story, Goldie wandered from one jazz club to another (all made up of bear musicians), hoping to jam with the band there. The first jazz band's music was too hot for her, and the second band was too cool, but the third band was just right and she joins them. Baby Bear then decides to find his "sound" by playing a loud, raucous note on the saxophone.

 	SCENE 3 	Baby Bear notices Hoots singing in a peculiar way. Hoots tells him it's called "scat singing," adding that it's something that just came about naturally. In a flashback sequence (seen in black and white), a young Hoots waits on tables at a jazz club in New Orleans. He can't help but scat along to the music of the jazz band, and the band hires him on the spot as a singer. Back in the present, Baby Bear decides that he wants to scat-sing, though Hoots can see it's going to take some work.
