House Music

In the Louds' living room, Lincoln shows his sisters and Anastasia.

Lincoln: Guys! We gotta figure out something! The Family Fun Fair is tonght, and we've got nothing for the talent show.

Lynn: [raises her hand] I know! How about a family trapeze act?

Lisa: Just because you fractured every bone from your maxilla to your metatarsals doesn't mean we want to.

Lola: I know! How about a family beauty pageant? [beat] Never mind. That would take years to prepare for.

Anastasia: How about we teach the pets to do tricks or dancing? [beat] On second thought, never mind. Forget that i said anything.

Lana: I say we wrestle alligators! [lunges at Lincoln and pins him down]

Lincoln: [gets her off] Lana, that's a terrible idea!

Lana: You're right... [gets out a lasso] Calf roping is much better! [lassos and hogties Lincoln]

Lincoln: We need something we can all do.

Lynn: Then let's do my idea!

Luan: No! My idea!

Leni: No! Mine!

Lori: No way.

Lily, Lisa, Lola, Lana, Lucy, Lynn, Luan, Leni, and Lori start fighting over which act they should do and Logan and Luna stops them with a power chord on her guitar.

Luna: Me and Logan got the answer! Let's start a family band!

Lori: But we literally have no musical talent.

Luan: Yeah. I couldn't carry a tune if it had a handle. [laughs to rimshot]

Lucy: Besides, the only one here who has musical talent is Anastasia and she's only one.

Anastasia: I'm only good at singing. The only musical instrument i tried was that guitar controller my Dad got for that one game I'm still practicing on.

Luna: As my idol Mick Swagger says, Rock and roll isn't about being the best. It's about having fun.

Logan: She's right, you know. It doesn't matter on how terrible you are, you are only doing it for the fun. MOW WHO WANTS TO HAVE FUN?!

His sisters and Anastasia cheer in agreement and they head on off, but Lincoln is still hogtied to the floor.

Lincoln: Uh...guys? A little help?

Leni: [walks up to her brother] Oh. Sorry, Lincoln. [picks him up and carries him with her like a handbag while humming, much to his chagrin]

The kids are practicing their music in the garage with instruments which, as expected, sounds lousy and noisy. Especially Anastasia as she is playing the drum. Lynn Sr comes in with a rake.

Lynn Sr: [feeling tormented] AGH! WHAT IS THAT HORRIFIC SOUND?! Is the cat fighting the possum again?

Lincoln: No, Dad! It's us. We're starting a family band!

Lynn Sr: Oh oh! You know, your old man used to be in a band. Although, it ended on a...on a sour note.

Logan: Oh no. Not this story again.

Flashback to their father/grandfather's college days where he's part of a heavy metal band and playing a cowbell which does not fit the genre.

Band Members: [over his cowbell] Dude! Dude!! DUDE!!! You're out of the band.

Lynn Sr breaks down crying and leaves the dorm. End flashback and he's still upset over those days.

Loud Kids sans Logan: [sympathetic] Aww...

Lynn Sr: I wanted to join Logan's band when he used to have one. But he never let me join. [gets even more upset]

Logan: And the reason why i didn't was because of the cowbell. You can't use a cowbell in a heavy metal band. It's doesn't fit in.

Luna: Well, you can be in our band!

The kids sans Logan encourage Lynn Sr to join them.

Lynn Sr: Well...if you all insist. [rips off his shirt and reveals his old band uniform underneath] KA-POW! [starts playing his cowbell while getting jiggy with it as his kids and granddaughter stare at him awkwardly] WOO! HA HA!

Logan: See what i mean?

Lisa: I sincerely hope that's not contagious.

Anastasia: I hope so too.

Luna: [with a score sheet] All right, dudes, let's try busting out this jam. It's called Plastic Bag Blown Through The Gutter Of Life. Lyrics by Lucy... [Lucy takes a bow] ...music by yours truly. One, two! One, two, three, four!

They all start practicing and Charles howls.

Luna: Dudes! Charles wants to sing lead! [brings the dog in to howl as the lead singer and suddenly gets a call from her roadie Chunk] Yo, Chunk! What's that? I can't hear you! Hold on a sec! [puts Charles down and turns to her siblings] And remember, it's not about being the best, it's all about having fun! [heads out to hear Chunk's news]

Logan: [gets a phone call from someone and answers it] Hello? Oh! Hi, hon! What's up? What's that? Hold on! I can't hear you! [heads out to hear what his girlfriend want to say]

A few minutes later, Logan is up in the attic tuning his guitar string when Anastasia came up looking very upset.

Logan: Hey, princess. What's the matter? Why do you look upset for?

Anastasia: Well your rock star sister kicked everyone out because we got upset at her for kicking Grandpa out of the band and for forcing us to play well all because that Mick Swagger guy is gonna be at the show. So yeah, that's why I'm upset.

Logan: Hmm, i see. Well i going to go talk to her about this. You just get ready for the fair.

Anastasia: Okay, Daddy. [hugs Logan]

In Luna and Luan's room, Luna is trying to come up with song. Logan came in and walks up to his sister who is on the floor.

Logan: [disappointed] Hey, sis. I heard about what happened in the garage. And frankly, I'm disappointed.

Luna: Why do you care about it? I just wanted them to get better so i can impress Mick Swagger.

Logan: Luna, you can't force someone or anyone to get better just so you can impress someone else. That's not right. Remember what i said after i told you why i left my old band "Don't let fame come before your friends or family. Because fame isn't gonna get you nowhere but jail or the aftermath"? Well, what you just did was kinda what i meant. You put wanting to impress Mick Swagger over your family just having fun and that's not cool. I want you to think about what you did and call me when you want to apologize to them.

Logan left the home while Luna still laying on the floor.

Luna: Maybe i just need a change of scenery.

The Eat Diner and Coffee Shop, Luna is still struggling to come up with lyrics. She tears off her latest draft right into a stranger's soup.

Luna: Oh. Sorry. dude.

Stranger: No worries. What are you writing?

Luna: It's supposed to be a song. But I'm wicked blocked.

Stranger: Maybe i can help. I'm dabbled in music myself. Have a seat.

Luna: [sits down in the booth and picks up a fly] You gonna finish that, brah?

Stranger: It's all yours. So, what's going on?

Luna: I really gotta kill it with this song. And everything i write is garbage. [eats her fry] I actually tried to rhyme with YOLO.

Stranger: [cringing] Ooh...

Luna: I know, right? You mind?

The stranger hands her his soup which she slurps up.

Stranger: So, what's so important about this song?

Luna: I'm supposed to perform at the Family Fun Fair tonight, and Mick Swagger's gonna be there! It's my only chance to impress him! So, i gotta be my very best! Even though my older brother scolded me for it.

Stranger: Maybe your brother got a reason for it. Also, wasn't it Mick Swagger who said "Rock and roll isn't about being the best, it's about having fun"?

Luna: Yeah...

Stranger: Well, when was the last time you had fun?

Luna remembers that the last time she had fun was when she was in the family band; then remembers what Logan had told her before, which makes her realize what's more important.

Luna: Dude! I gotta go! [runs off, comes back, grabs another fry, and runs off again]

The Family Fun Fair. The rest of the Loud kids are getting ready to perform.

Rita: [excited] Ooh! Look at my little rock stars!

Lucy: My real genre is death metal.

Rita: SO CUTE!

Anastasia: I learned to that genre before and i just can't get into it.

Logan: Oh, you will. Just give it time.

Anastasia: I doubt that.

Enter Luna.

Luna: DUDES! You got room for one more?

Her siblings and Anastasia are still not happy with her.

Lincoln: What about impressing Mick?

Anastasia: We don't wanna 'hold you back'.

Luna: I'm sorry about all that stuff i said. I acted like a real bonehead today. I forgot the one rule of rock and roll. It doesn't matter if i don't play my best for Mick. All that matters is having fun. And the only time i have fun is doing it with you guys. So, what do you say? Will you take me back?

A moment of silence.

Lincoln: [elated] Heck yeah! It wouldn't be a family band without you!

Luan: Grab some sheet music!

As Luna does as her roommate says, Luan plays the whoopee cushion on cue once again. They all laugh at that gesture.

Logan: I am glad you listen to my advice, sis.

Luna: No problem, bro. Wait. It's not a family band yet. Where's Dad?

Rita: The place he always goes when he's sad: the Whiri-n'-Twirl.

Luna hurries over to Whiri-n'-Twirl and finds her father there still lamenting over getting kicked out of the band.

Luna; DAD, I'M SORRY! [waits for him to pass around again given the ride's motions] PLEASE COME BACK TO THE BAND! [waits for another lap] IT WON'T BE FUN... [waits again] ...WITHOUT YOU!

Lynn Sr: [passing] YOU MEAN IT?!

Luna: [on his next lap] YES!

Lynn Sr: OPERATOR, STOP THIS RIDE!

The operator does so and that causes Lynn Sr to launch out and land with a thud.

Lynn Sr: Apology accepted! [tears open his band member uniform and starts jamming once again] THE BELL IS BACK!

Luna: Mom...we're gonna need you, too! [holds out a tambourine]

Rita: Oh, honey. I don't know how to play

Lincoln: That's okay, Apart from Logan, neither do we.

Luna: But we're gonna have fun!

Rita grabs the tambourine and starts dancing to the beat with her husband as they bump their rumps together.

Lisa: [somewhat frightened] Heaven help us...it is contagious.

The family is now performing on stage with Luna as lead singer.

Luna: Plastic bag blowing in the gutter / Lost and alone like toast without butter!

Leni: [walking backwards] Hey, guys! I'm a backup dancer! [carelessly falls off the stage]

Lincoln: Luna! Logan! Take a duet!

Luna: Nah. This is family band, dude!

Lincoln: Yeah, but you two are the only ones who can actually play!

Logan: You heard the man, sis. Let rock like there's no tomorrow!

Luna smiles and rocks on.

Luna: Dad! Cowbell solo!

Lynn Sr: Seriously?! I knew this day would come! Okay, here we go! [performs his solo]

The song's over and the crowd loved the Louds perform. As the Loud family walks away, Logan and Luna are talking.

Logan: You did good out there sis. Also, I'm still proud of you for seeing the errors of your ways.

Luna: Thanks, bro. [gives Logan a hug who in return, hugged back]

Then, the stranger from the diner is there to see Luna.

Stranger: Hey, mate! You guys looked like you were having out there!

Luna: We were.

Stranger: And you were brilliant. You've got real talent. [to Logan] So do you.

Logan: Thanks, mate.

Luna: Yeah, thanks. And thanks for that little talk back at restaurant. And thanks for your little speech at home, Logan. They really helped straighten me out. I was being horrible to my family to impress a guy who didn't even show up.

Stranger: Oh, i wouldn't say that. [reveals himself to be Mick Swagger]

Logan and Luna: [stammering with awe] Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh...

Lynn Sr and Anastasia walks over.

Lynn Sr: Hey, guys. Got us funnel cakes. Who's this?

Mick: The name's Mick Swagger, mate! And you were great, too! I love that passion on the cowbell!

Lynn Sr, Logan, and Luna: [stammering] Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh...

Mick shrugs and is about to head off.

Mick: [noticing the funnel cakes] Are you gonna finish those? [takes them] Cheers, mate! [leaves]

Luna, Logan and their father continue stammering and suddenly faint in shock, leaving Anastasia confuse.

Anastasia: [to the viewers; confused] What just happen? [the screen was about to fades to black until Anastasia stopped it and appears in the circle she made] No seriously, what just happen just now?
