Pound Puppies Generation Gap: Talent Showdown

by iheartkatamari

Fourteenth in a series created by brave kid and me. When the Puppies and Kittens learn of a local pet talent show, Rebound wants to enter, but sneaky Milton Feltwaddle is planning to scuttle her act! Based on the episode, "Bright Lights, Brighteyes" from the 1986 series.

5. Boogie-Woogie and Barbershop Quartets

"Our next act will be Daphne and Corky Franklin(1)." the announcer calls, upon which a little girl with blonde pigtails and a small cream colored puppy with white paws and a brown spot on his back, wearing a red baseball cap and a matching t-shirt traipse onto the stage.

"Corky and I would now like to do our dance routine for you." Daphne states, upon which Corky flips on a nearby boombox, which begins playing a merry song which they both begin dancing to.

From backstage, Morton and Scarface are hauling in a large amplifier. "Now when we plug this in, those twerps won't be able to hear their sappy song!" Unbeknownst to them, however, Tiny had tilted the amplifier away from the stage so it would be directed at them; as soon as Morton plugs the amplifier in, the sound blows them across the room. "AHHHHH!" "MMMMEEEEOOOOOWWWW!"

"Boy, talk about soundin' off!" Tiny punctuates his sentence with a guffaw.

Once Daphne and Corky's act is finished, Miss McGilt gives them a seven, the mayor gives them a nine, and Feltwaddle gives them a negative twenty-five. "Ugh."

"Our next act will be Kelly Myles and her amazing parrots." the announcer calls, upon which a small blonde-haired girl and three parrots, one white with a yellow head, one blue with green wings and tail, one pink with darker pink wings and tail(2), and one small yellow and black chickadee, each wearing straw boaters and striped vests, traipse onto the stage.

The birds flutter over to a small perch. "My parrots would now like to sing for you." Kelly notes, upon which the birds begin to sing,

"Lida rose, I'm home again, Rose,
To put the sun back in the sky,"

(The little Chickadee then sings, "Yeahhh," in a deep voice)

"Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose,
About a thousand kisses shy,"

"Oh yeahhh,"

From back stage, Morton is leading Scarface by a leash. "Ready to get your dinner, Scarface?" Morton whispers. The nasty cat meows and licks his lips hungrily; while they aren't looking, Kugel quickly ties the leash around Morton's legs.

"Then let's go get 'em!" Morton exclaims; upon these words, Scarface pounces across the stage behind the birds, dragging Morton behind him. "WHOOOOOOOAOOOOOAA!" Kelly and the birds exchange odd looks, then continue singing.

Once their act is finished, Miss McGilt gives them a nine, the mayor gives them an eight, and Feltwaddle gives them a negative thirty. "Eee-yuck."
