Excuse me.
- Hey, Shari, how? - That was embarrassing.
Tawny, how about that biology test? Maybe you should try tripping them.
Could I get another? Hey, Wyatt.
Look.
I'm invisible.
Watch the glass as it magically floats in midair.
- Ooh, ooh, ooh.
- Might as well be invisible.
We can't even score a soda from the waitress.
Talk about depressing.

Cool guitar.

- I've got rock in my blood.
- Try " Rock in your head.
" - That is so cool.
- What's with that? - It's simple, brilliant.
He's terrible.
- Doesn't matter-- Dick figured out girls go nuts over musicians.
I played french horn in fifth grade - and I never got any action.
- Let's get in on this.
Play along.
How's it going, Dick? Sounds good.
- Just jamming.
- Yeah, well, Wyatt and I were just thinking maybe we could use you in our band.

I play french horn.
And bass.

Rough sketches for the Megazhurtz cartoon series.

He's a demolitions expect with a knack for finding ghosts.
In addition we have Megahurtz, buttons, t-shirts pogs, thigh cream, et cetera, et cetera.
Of course, the success of all this depends upon the success of your album.
By the way, how are the rest of the song coming? We'll be ready by the time we go into the studio.

GARY: "Dear Thrash, I love listening to your song.
"You guys really rock.
My friends think crash is the cutest but I like you the best.
" Keeper.
We're in the studio in four hours.
We haven't got a single song.
Wait, wait, wait.
Listen to this one.
"Dear Thrash, you rock me.
I want you.
" Picture included.
[ Gasping .]
- Pass.
- Come on, I need your help.
You want a song? Here's a song.
# I'm a rock star, rock star # # Girls write me letters, wanna have my baby # # 'Cause I'm rock star # # Rock star.
# There's one.
- Gary, that's lame.
- Okay, we'll make it a bonus track.
Here's another.
# Pot stickers, pot stickers # # Mushu pork # # Eat 'em with chopsticks and not with a fork.
# We can do commercials for soy sauce.

- I need a rhyme for "lumpy.
" - Stumpy? Jumpy? Rumpy? Bumpy? Grumpy? Dumpy? Hey, there's song number three.
It's like turning on a faucet.
I don't know anymore, Gary.
This all sounds like garbage.
Hey, relax.
We're Megahurtz.
Our single's been number one two wes in a row.
Our fans will love us no matter what we do.
"Garbage," says Rolling Stone Magazine.
Every song on the new Megahurtz CD is a rehash of their single, "she's mean.
" The song list includes such diverse titles as "she's angry," "she's nasty" "she's a more or less unpleasant person to be around.
" And don't get me started on the one about chinese food.
Looks like Megahurtz has crashed and burned.
That's it.
We're history.
How could anybody not like the chinese food song? We were singing about pot-stickers.
That came from the heart.
If we'd ordered mexican it would have be "the taco song.
" Since when do we care what critics think? Exactly.
Critics are just whiny Rock 'N' Roll What do you call someone who wants to be something that they're not because they have no talent? - LaToya Jackson? - No.
- Wannabes? - Yes.
Critics are just whiny rock 'n' roll wannabes.
I didn't become the head of mojo records - by listening to critics.
- I couldn't sleep at night if I lived my life by what the critics say.
Then again, who need sleep when you're really rich? Get out of my studio.
You're fired.
"We've been duped by these one-hit wonders.
"Their new CD isn't worth "the recycled toilet paper this review is printed on.
" One man's opinion.
Actually, it happens to be What kind of lame wish is this? Our careers are in the toilet.
You asked for the lives of rock stars.
No rock star stays on top forever.
- But, you outlasted the Bangles.
- Who? I got you to the top but staying there was up to you guys.
Yeah, well, it was fun while it lasted.
Thanks, Lis.
That's it? You're quitting? What about our fans? Don't we owe them something? Yeah, an apology.
Face it.
We had one good song in us.
We're just getting sorted.
This is a career lull.
- Gary, knock-knock.
- Who's there? - Megahurtz.
- Megahurtz who? Exactly.
Your fans have moved on to the new flavor of the week.
I don't believe that for a second.
The world still loves me.
I'll just go out there and be famous without you guys or my name isn't Thrash.
Your name isn't Thrash.
Shut up.
And in other news, Thrash, lead singer for the recently disbanded megahurtz has released a solo album-- "Me, Thrash, alone without the baggage.
" [ Ballad Intro .]
# Me, Thrash # # Alone without the baggage # # Me, Thrash # # Alone without the baggage.
# [ Heavy Metal Music .]
The CD debuted at 97.
Most critics agree the music was reminiscent of cats hitting sheet metal.
The album was in the bargain bins by lunch.
The singer had this to say.
I believe this is the next step in my evolution as an artist.
My fans will be happy to know I'm going back into the studio to work on a remix of my megahit "She's mean"-- Open it up to a whole new audience.
Rock on.
Yeah.
[ Chipmunks Singing "She's Mean' .]
Okay, can you give me more Alvin and Less the more this time? [ Chipmunks "She's Mean" Playing .]
Look at the bright side.
At least he can't sink any lower.
Pass.
Pass.
Okay.
The dugout.
A pitcher's mound.
A baseball! [ Horn Blowing .]
[ Synthesized Rock Percussion .]
[ Whistle Blowing .]
Hi.
I'm Thrash, remember lead singer for Megahurtz.
That was me a few weeks ago suffering from hemorrhoidal flare-up.
Lucky for me, there's Analene.
I can't watch my best friend do this to himself.
Somebody's got to tell him the world thinks he's a joke.
It's going to break his heart.
Rock, paper, scissors? One, two, three! Hello, Moosehead Lodge! Are you ready to rock? I said, "Are you ready?" [ Muted Chord .]
[ Crowd Laughing .]
Hey.
Look who's here.
I knew you couldn't give up the bright lights.
Or the roaches.
It's not Dodger Stadium but you got to pay your dues.
A couple more gigs like this, and I'm back on top.
Gary, Wyatt has something to tell you.
Gary, you got to pull the plug.
You had a hit song.
You were famous, but is over.
Let it die.
How can you say that? Things are going great-- - A lot of interest out there.
- Where? Everywhere.
Here.
Outside.
All around.
It's big, big, big! Hey! I know you.
The fans-- they haven't forgotten me.
It's the hemorrhoid guy! How's your butt? You're right.
I should have walked when you did.
It's not that bad, Gary.
At least people still remember you.
Yeah, every time they get that itching, burning sensation.
Come on, Gar.
We came to take you home.
Thanks, but they're paying me.
I better finish my set.
Poor guy.
All he wanted be was a rock legend.
Fat chance now.
Well, there is one way.
Okay, I think you're all going to like this next tune.
[ Rumbling .]
[ Gary Screaming .]
Lisa! - What'd you do to him? - You'll see.
The rock world is still reeling from last night's mysterious on-stage disappearance of former Megahurtz singer, Thrash who inexplicably vanished during his opening set.
Was it an alien abduction, spontaneous combustion? What knows? One thing's for certain-- the legend of Thrash will live forever.
You hear that, big guy? I'm a legend.
I'm bigger than Elvis.
It's everything I've always wanted.
Remember-- if the world knows Thrash is alive - you stop being a legend.
- Nothing to worry about.
No one's ever noticed me.
I'm invisible.
Here's to invisibility.
Oooh! [ Giggling .]
Don't tell me Dick's got his guitar with him again.
Nope-- whole new approach.
A puppy? - This guy's a genius.
- I don't get it.
Wy, girls love puppies.
Makes a guy look more sensitive.
That's easy.
- What do you say, Lisa? - You got it.
Oh, look at the cute, little doggies.
- Ooh.
- Hi, boy.
