## Summary

Moe had celery and Deedee has juice to share with their siblings. They sing a song called Getting Along. All of a sudden, the phone rings. Moe picks it up, but he can't hear the caller because Deedee's new speaker is loud, so Moe can't hear over the phone. What he did catch is that the call was from Mr Hippopotamus, a photographer who is meeting them at the venue and take a picture for a magazine cover, but Moe didn't hear who it was. Deedee said it would be her because she wrote their hit song. Rooney says that it would be him, because he is, according to him, the art panic sonic guitar player in the world. Moe says that he should be on the magazine cover because he is the loudest drummer.

The Doodlebops fight over the current situation. Deedee decides that if she's the one that will be on the magazine cover, she'll have to look her best. She goes over to her vanity to comb her hair, but Moe swipes the comb from her and gets it stuck in his hair. Rooney takes a gold glove, and Deedee takes the other glove, he tells her to give it back. Deedee refuses. Moe gets a pair of blue sunglasses, Rooney takes the sunglasses and says it looks good on him. Moe and Rooney fight over the glasses but the glasses broke.

Mazz appears and the Doodlebops tell her the current situation. She suggests that they use their brains to solve the problem. When she leaves, they decide to have races outside.

## Trivia

* **Where's Moe?****:** Moe hides in the yellow cupboard.
* **Running Gag:** The Doodlebops getting ties when they compete.
* The songs that were sung during the concert were Getting Along, Take a Look (In a Book) and Thank You.
	+ Even though this is the debut episode, the minimum number of songs for season one is TWO, so that's probably why they used a second song. They start singing one song at their concert in .the second and the third seasons
* The Doodlebops do not sing Let's Get on the Bus when they are on Bob's bus, they do a jazz routine instead. The first episode we hear the full version of Let's Get on the Bus is in O Solo Moe
* On Bob's bus, the Doodlebops sing a portion of their song, making Bus Driver Bob tear up.
* It is revealed in the credits that the photographer's name is "Mr. Hippo" and is played by Frank Nakashima.
* This is the first (and so far, only) time that the Doodlebops fight with each other
* After Mazz says "See ya later alligators." The Doodlebops don't say "In a while crocodile until" (until they said it in O Solo Moe) cause they left the clubhouse for a race. but instead, the kids said it.
