Chapter 34: Musical Virus
It's about time I did a Luna centered chapter. This one is a parody of the Spongebob episode: Earworm
Also, R.I.P Stephen Hillenburg. He will be missed.
Luna and Lori are doing their house chores in the kitchen. Lori is washing the dishes while Luna is mopping the floor. Luna is also singing a song.
"Do do do do do do do do do do! Trying to stop it is futile, so just listen now to my singing doodle!"
As Luna continued to sing, Lori became irritated. "Will you stop that incessant babbling?"
"Sorry dude." Luna went back to mopping but she couldn't resist singing that song. "I'm mopping and I'm singing about the singing doodle."
Lori turned towards her. "Luna, stop singing that song!"
"Sorry, it's just so catchy."
"I literally don't care. Just zip it!" Lori got out a mini radio. "Now let's see what's on the public radio."
Lori turned the dial on the radio. To her annoyance, they were playing the Singing Doodle song.
"Ooh! It's the Singing Doodle!" Luna took the radio and held it up to ear. She started singing. "Round and round the CD spins all day! Listen again, it takes you far away! Trying to stop it is futile, so just listen now to my singing doodle! Do do do do do do do do do do!"
Lori took the radio and turned it off. "Seriously, how can you enjoy that trashy tune?"
"It's better than Lily's fox song." Luna said. "It's like this song and I were meant to be together."
"Well, hopefully this song won't be put in a CD." Lori said. She put the radio on the counter and left the kitchen.
Luna turned the radio back on. They were still playing the same song and she sang along to it. After it was done, an announcer spoke. "And that was the new song from the Catchy Tuners called Singing Doodle."
Luna sighs. "Man, I wish they had a CD."
"And for all you fans out there, they've just released their first CD album. Available in stores."
Luna smiled. She rushed past her mom who was at the front door. "Later Mom, I'm heading out!"
Luna rode her bike to a CD shop. She could already see the Singing Doodle album at the window display. She went inside. The store manager walked up to her.
"Hey, I'd like to buy-"
"The Singing Doodle album?" The manager said before Luna could finish.
"Yeah. How'd you know?"
"I'm psychic."
"Whoa, really?"
"Nah. I just saw you looking through the window. It'll be five ninety nine."
After Luna paid, she got her CD and went back home. Lily was in the living room watching Blarney the dinosaur. Luna came in.
"Hey little sis." Luna greeted. She blocked the tv. "Wanna hear my new CD?"
Lily shook her head.
"I knew you would." Luna said and got out a boom box. She put the CD in played the song. Lily put on her earmuffs.
"Round and round the CD spins all day. Listen again it takes you far away."
Luna sang along.
"Trying to stop it is futile, so just listen now to my singing doodle."
For the rest of the day, Luna continued to play the song over and over until it was time for bed. Lily was now asleep on the couch.
"Yeah, listen again to the singing doodle! Let's play that CD one more time."
Luna was about to play it again but then looked at the clock. "Wow. It's late. I gotta go to bed."
She put the CD back in the album.
"I'll take you to your room Lily."
Luna took her baby sister to her room, got in her PJs, and went to her bed.
"I see you're finally done playing that song." Luan said in her bed.
"Yep. Goodnight."
"Night."
Luan went to sleep. Luna tried to sleep but found herself whistling the rhythm of the new song. She covered her mouth but that didn't help. She put a cork over her mouth but then spit it back out and started whistling again.
"Oh fine, I'll listen to it one more time just to get it out of my system."
Luna went back into the living room to listen to the song again. She sang along.
"Round and round the CD spins all day. Listen again it takes you far away. Trying to stop it is futile, so just listen now to my singing doodle. Listen again to the singing doodle!"
The song ends.
"Uh, just one more time." Luna replayed the song. She did this more times throughout the night.
The next day, it was school. Luna walked through the hallway slowly to her music class. She looked pretty tired.
"Pushing your luck a bit, aren't you kid?" Her music teacher said standing next to his classroom. "You're a few minutes late. And you know how much I hate tardiness. I mean what if every kid was tardy? You know what the principal would do do do do do do do do. Singing doodle!"
Luna imagined her music teacher dancing to the Singing Doodle song while playing a tambourine.
"Luna!"
Luna snapped back to reality.
"Wake up! You need to get out your guitar for music practice."
"Oh. Right." Luna said and went into the classroom. She got out her guitar.
"Just focus on your guitar playing." The teacher said.
Luna sang part of the Doodle song while strumming her guitar. She stopped and chuckled nervously. Her teacher looked at her with confusion before going to the front of the class. Luna took her seat looking nervous. She started singing again but more quietly.
"Think you control it but it's way too hard. Every time it plays it's an electric charge."
Luna paused and shut her mouth. In her thoughts, she rewinded what she just sang and it played again. Think you control it but it's way too hard. "That's it. I shouldn't try to control it. I should stop fighting the doodle's infectious groove."
"Luna, who are you talking to?" Sam Sharp asked who was sitting next to her.
Luna sang. "Trying to stop it's futile, so just listen now to my singing doodle!"
She began dancing in front of the other students. "Think you control it but it's way too hard."
She popped her head out of a pair of bongos which a student was playing. "Every time it plays it's an electric charge!"
She danced on someone's xylophone. "The sound in your head is brutal. Now you're infected by the singing doodle! Do do do do do do do do do! You're gonna listen again to the singing doodle!"
Luna continued singing as she ended up spitting on a teen playing a guitar, who grew annoyed. "Ugh! I can't practice like this!"
"Me neither." Said another kid.
The students began to leave. The teacher looked at Luna annoyed as well.
"Luna! Will you stop singing that song?"
Luna stopped. "Sir, I've tried but it just keeps playing over and over in my head."
"Well, since you've disrupted the class, I'm sending you to detention." He have her a detention slip.
"Detention?"
Soon, Luna found herself in a detention room. She was the only student in the room so far. The high school principal was there to keep an eye on her.
"Well Luna, this is the first time I've seen you in detention. But I heard some kids complaining about some student singing a annoying song."
"Yep. That student is me." Luna stated.
"I hope that doesn't happen again Ms. Loud. Now I have to take care of some things in my office but I'll be back. Don't leave this room." The principal left.
Luna felt the urge to sing the song again as she tried to keep her mouth shut.
"Come on dude, think of another song. A song from Mick Swagger." Luna imagined her idol singing but instead of a Mick Swagger song he sang the Singing Doodle song. Luna groaned in frustration.
A few minutes later, the detention room had been rearranged by Luna. Chairs were stacked. Some desks were flipped over. The word "doodle" was written all over the walls. Luna was now in a state of craziness as she was still mumbling the song. The principal finally came back.
"(gasps) What the heck did you do? That's it. I'm sending you home."
"Trying to escape it's futile!" Luna ran off on her arms and legs like a mad dog. She burst through the door and ran through the hallway. She ran past her older siblings and out of the building.
"What's wrong with her?" Leni asked.
"It's that artless pop tune. She's obsessed with it." Lori said.
"Oh yeah. The singing poodle."
"Doodle." Lori corrected. "Come on, let's go help her. She could be in great danger."
Luna walked down the street like she was possessed. "The song that ran from is back again. You wonder if the madness will ever end."
People gave her odd looks. In Vanzilla, Lori gathered up the other Loud kids. They chased after Luna.
"So what exactly is wrong with Luna?" Lincoln asked.
"She has a catchy song in her head and can't stop singing it." Lori explained. "We're going to help her."
Luna came to the house and broke through a window. The others made it back home. Lynn kicked the door open.
"Yo Luna!"
"Luna, where are you?" Luan looked up and saw her sister clinging onto the ceiling. "Hey sis, how's it hanging? (laughs) But seriously, get down from there."
Luna hissed at them. She jumped onto the couch.
"Get her!" Lynn yelled.
Lynn, Lana and Lola leaped at the teen but she jumped out of the way. Lori tried to block Luna's path but Luna went under her. She went into the kitchen. She was about to escape through the backdoor but she was hit in the head with a frying pan, which knocked her out.
"Oops, I think I hit her too hard." Leni said as she was the one who had the frying pan.
Luna opens her eyes and notices she's tied to a chair in the dining room. She also has tape over her mouth. The kids go to her.
"Oh good, you're awake." Lisa said. "Now I need to examine your head."
Lisa used her X-ray vision glasses. In Luna's Head, she saw some sort of virus singing the Singing Doodle song. "Just as I suspected, you're suffering from a condition known as the music virus. You see, when your cerebrum gets stuck on a catchy song you're susceptible to music virus infection. And you've got a repulsive one in there."
"So how do we get it out?" Lucy asked. "Will we have to cut open her head?"
"That won't be necessary. The only way to get rid of this virus is with another catchy tune."
"Ooh! I've got one! It's a song me and Hops heard on the internet." Lana said. She began to sing a song called "Raining Mud Pies". (The song is a parody of "It's Raining Tacos." From Parry Gripp & BooneBum on YouTube)
"It's raining mud pies out of the sky. Mud pies, I don't care why. Just open your mouth and close your eyes. It's raining mud pies! Yummy yummy yum yum yummity yum! Feels like a dream! Yummy yummy yum yum yummity yum! Bring your whipped cream!"
Lana finished. "Did it work?"
Lisa checked with her X-ray glasses. The virus continued to sing the Singing Doodle. "Nope. It's still there."
Leni got out her phone and played the Macarena. "This is totes one of the catchiest songs ever."
"Ooh, good choice Leni." Luan commented.
Luan and Leni danced along to the song.
"A la tuhuelpa legria macarena,
Que tuhuelce paralla legria cosabuena,
A la tuhuelpa legria Macarena, Eeeh Macerena!"
The song stopped. Lisa still saw the worm in Luna's Head. Luna was humming the Doodle song. "That didn't work either. We need someone with real music talent to get rid of this thing."
The Louds thought for a moment.
"What about Luna's friend Sam?" Lincoln suggested.
"That could work." Lisa suggested.
Lincoln knew Sam's number so he called her and told her about Luna's virus problem. She came over to the Loud House as soon as she could.
"I'm glad you guys called me. Luna looks like a mess."
"Yeah, that's why we need you help." Lincoln said.
"Alright then, let's rock!" Sam got out her guitar and plugged it into her amp. She played loud music. Lisa observed Luna's mind. The virus covered its ears but it could still hear the loud rock n roll music.
"I think it's working!"
The virus came out of Luna's ear annoyed and flew off. Sam ended her guitar playing. "Goodnight Loud House!"
"The infection is gone." Lisa said.
Leni and Lori untied Luna. Luna took the tape off her mouth.
"Thanks dudes." She hugged Sam. "And you were great Sam."
"Thanks. I'm glad you're back to normal." Sam replied.
It was now evening. Sam had left the Loud house and rode her bike home.
"That was a catchy song I made today." Sam said to herself. She started to sing her guitar song. In her head, a virus formed with a guitar and the song played inside her.
"Yep. Real Catchy." She then realized she had the music virus infection.
"AAAAAAAAAH!"
