A spotlight focused on Freakazoid on one stool, and "Weird Al" on the one next to him. The bridge bunnies were behind them and to the right: Shigeru on acoustic guitar, Makoto on standing bass, and Maya on the tambourine. The three of them, without a clue as to why or how they'd gotten here in the first place, and much to their mutual confusion and disbelief, played along to Freakazoid and "Weird Al's" duet. It was a slower, more relaxed take on one of the latter's more underrated songs.
Freakazoid:
Put down your remote control,
Throw out your TV Guide.
"Weird Al":
Put away your jacket,
There's no need to go outside.
Both:
Don't you know that-
Freakazoid:
We control the horizontal;
"Weird Al":
We control the vertical, too.
Both:
We gonna make a couch potato outta you!
Freakazoid:
That's what we gonna do now...
Both:
Don't change the channel!
Don't touch that dial!
We got it all on U-H-F.
"Weird Al":
Kick off your sneakers!
Freakazoid:
Stick around for a while!
Both
We got it all on U-H-F.
Freakazoid:
Don't worry 'bout your laundry...
"Weird Al":
Forget about your job...
Freakazoid:
Just crank up the volume,
"Weird Al":
And yank off the knob!
Freakazoid:
We got it all...
"Weird Al":
We got it all...
Both:
We got it all...on U-H-F!
[Both finish with a couple pairs of jazz hands flashing.]

**Author's Note(s)**
Helloooo, and welcome to the final musical interlude of this story!
And for such a finale, again I'm inspired by "Weird Al" Yankovic-enough to actually 'include' the man himself!
The bit here this time is a takeoff on a recent addition to "Weird Al's" concert repertoire, in that he'll open with a medley of his songs done in the style of the legendary TV program MTV Unplugged. As for the song in question-the title number from the 'soundtrack' of the parodist's lone foray into feature films, 1989's UHF-I felt it was quite fitting for a character like Freakazoid, who counts among his pastimes watching a wide variety of TV reruns.
