00:08:22,793 --> 00:08:25,630
Why is your voice different
when you sing?
179
00:08:25,713 --> 00:08:28,799
It is because of all the years
I spent at the Kwik-E-Mart...
180
00:08:28,883 --> 00:08:30,218
(rock song playing)
181
00:08:30,301 --> 00:08:32,220
...where classic rock anthems
were piped in
182
00:08:32,303 --> 00:08:33,763
on a never-ending loop.
183
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:37,308
The endless repetition
drove many clerks to madness.
184
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:40,728
The only way to maintain my sanity
185
00:08:40,811 --> 00:08:44,482
was to sing along until
it seemed like our voices were one.

191
00:09:00,081 --> 00:09:03,000
Guys, are you feeling this?
Are you feeling this?
192
00:09:03,084 --> 00:09:05,545
-I'm feeling it.
-I'm definitely feeling it.
193
00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:08,548
I felt something earlier,
but I was afraid to bring it up.
194
00:09:08,631 --> 00:09:10,508
I think we all felt something.
195
00:09:10,591 --> 00:09:12,385
We are more than just a garage band
196
00:09:12,468 --> 00:09:15,012
desperate to do anything other
than hang out with our families.
197
00:09:15,096 --> 00:09:17,515
We are now a cover band.
198
00:09:17,598 --> 00:09:20,393
And we shall be called... Covercraft.
199
00:09:20,476 --> 00:09:24,021
Because we play covers
and this is our craft.
200
00:09:24,105 --> 00:09:27,275
-And it sounds like Hovercraft.
-That was not my intent.
201
00:09:27,358 --> 00:09:29,527
Okay, Covercraft, hands in.
202
00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:32,029
-Cover...
-ALL: Craft!
203
00:09:37,702 --> 00:09:41,163
R-O-K-C.

00:09:50,548 --> 00:09:52,300
(instruments tuning)
206
00:09:54,677 --> 00:09:57,096
Okay, this crowd is about to experience
207
00:09:57,179 --> 00:09:59,223
the special magic of the cover band,
208
00:09:59,307 --> 00:10:01,142
the thrill of live music
209
00:10:01,225 --> 00:10:03,853
without the fear
of hearing anything new.
210
00:10:03,936 --> 00:10:05,730
-Hmm?
-(sighs)
211
00:10:05,813 --> 00:10:07,607
Apu, what's wrong?
212
00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:09,483
What if-- What if I am no good?
213
00:10:09,567 --> 00:10:11,652
This is the Cabbage Festival, man.
214
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:13,988
I-I don't know if I can face that crowd!
215
00:10:14,071 --> 00:10:15,323
(groans)
216
00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:17,491
Buddy, buddy.
Think of it this way--
217
00:10:17,575 --> 00:10:19,827
you're not singing
in front of all those people,
218
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:23,164
you're alone at the Kwik-E-Mart
in the middle of the night.
219
00:10:23,247 --> 00:10:27,126
You just wear this onstage,
and everything will be fine.
220
00:10:27,209 --> 00:10:28,919
(gasps) My uniform!
221
00:10:33,758 --> 00:10:36,510

You could become a famous rock star!
233
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:21,305
Well, son, I do have the talent.
234
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:23,140
My mind is full of ideas
235
00:11:23,224 --> 00:11:25,267
for great songs I could write...
236
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:27,812
down the names of and then cover.
237
00:11:27,895 --> 00:11:29,522
But then I remember--
238
00:11:29,605 --> 00:11:32,149
I'm just a regular guy,
jamming with my buds.
239
00:11:32,233 --> 00:11:33,526
Oh, sweetie.
240
00:11:33,609 --> 00:11:36,112
This band has brought out
the best in you.
241
00:11:36,195 --> 00:11:39,323
Yeah, you really get that
it's all about the music.
242
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:41,784
Yep. t's all about the music.
243
00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:46,080
And it would take a pretty unforeseen
development to change that.
244
00:11:46,163 --> 00:11:49,291
Pretty unforeseen...
245
00:11:52,128 --> 00:11:55,798
Gentlemen, I think we've found
what we're looking for.
246
00:11:59,343 --> 00:12:01,595
HOMER:
Guys, I really need your honesty here.
247
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,556
At the Squidport Senior Jamboree...
248
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:06,100
was I too in the pocket?
249
00:12:06,183 --> 00:12:07,768
(Covercraft members gasp)
250
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:09,895
KIRK:
Freddy Freeman, Shredder Stevens,
251
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:12,773
Nick Delacourt, and Peter D'Abbruzio--
252
00:12:12,857 --> 00:12:16,193
you're four of the five guys
from Sungazer!
253
00:12:16,277 --> 00:12:19,363
But where's your lead singer,
Grant LeDavid?
254
00:12:19,447 --> 00:12:20,948
Uh, he passed away.
255
00:12:21,031 --> 00:12:23,367
-How?
-(whispers)
256
00:12:23,451 --> 00:12:25,745
What kind of erotic asphyxiation?
257
00:12:25,828 --> 00:12:27,955
-(whispers)
-Oh...
258
00:12:28,831 --> 00:12:31,333
Apu, you're the only man
on the entire Internet
259
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:34,044
who's got the pure Sungazer sound.
260
00:12:34,128 --> 00:12:37,631
Will you be our new lead singer
and join us on our stadium tour?
261
00:12:37,715 --> 00:12:39,383
ALL: Ooh!
262
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:41,260
I think I can answer for Apu.
263
00:12:41,343 --> 00:12:44,305
He's flattered,
but the small-time success of Covercraft
264
00:12:44,388 --> 00:12:46,390
is all that any of us have ever wanted.
265
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:47,850
Uh, actually, I...
266
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:50,811
Apu has a rich life here in Springfield--
267
00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:52,688
a store full of great products,
268
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:54,565
a lovely him-type wife,
269
00:12:54,648 --> 00:12:56,317
and eight super kids--
270
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,570
Anoop, Sandeep, Nabendu, Gheet,
271
00:12:59,653 --> 00:13:02,907
Pria, Uma, Poonam, Sashi...
272
00:13:02,990 --> 00:13:04,950
Shut your mouth.
I want to do it! I want to do it!
273
00:13:05,034 --> 00:13:07,661
I want to be a singer
for a real rock band!
274
00:13:07,745 --> 00:13:09,914
-SHREDDER STEVENS: Sun...
-ALL: ...gazer!
275
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,004
Gotta say, I'm kind of jealous of Apu
getting a break like that.
276
00:13:17,087 --> 00:13:18,214
Not me.
277
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:19,757
I'm nothing but happy
278
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,426
that our friend is headed
for fame and fortune.
279
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:24,929
APU: Tonight we play Las Vegas--
280
00:13:25,012 --> 00:13:28,474
and the theme of the casino is circus!
281
00:13:28,557 --> 00:13:31,185
Circus! Ha!
282
00:13:31,268 --> 00:13:34,688
(whimpers)
I want his fame and fortune so much!
283
00:13:34,772 --> 00:13:38,192
Why must the Lords of Rock
be so cruel?!
284
00:13:38,275 --> 00:13:40,861
(laughing)
285
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:43,614
Sammy Hagar? You're not dead.
286
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:48,702
Damn it! I told you those
jalapeño poppers had too much breading!
287
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:50,246
Sorry, Señor Hagar.
288
00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:51,914
Nah, nah, nah, it's cool, man.
289
00:13:51,997 --> 00:13:53,374
I went to rock star heaven.
290
00:13:53,457 --> 00:13:57,586
And there was this great back patio
with this sweet fire pit.
291
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:00,381
If you had the right wristband--
which I did.
292
00:14:00,464 --> 00:14:01,966
(laughs)
293
00:14:05,052 --> 00:14:07,137
News story in aisle three?
294
00:14:07,221 --> 00:14:10,307
Local clerk,
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon,
295
00:14:10,391 --> 00:14:12,893
is a dead ringer for a dead singer.
296
00:14:12,977 --> 00:14:15,104
He's living the rock star dream
297
00:14:15,187 --> 00:14:17,898
as front man for
'80s chart-toppers Sungazer
298
00:14:17,982 --> 00:14:20,901
on their Last Final Hell Re-Freezes Over
299
00:14:20,985 --> 00:14:23,320
Ultimate Good-bye For Serious This Time
300
00:14:23,404 --> 00:14:26,198
Never Again
Part Two of Question Mark Tour.
301
00:14:26,282 --> 00:14:28,576
Apu and the band appeared
on Saturday Night Live
302
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:30,369
as the punch line
in a game show sketch.
303
00:14:30,452 --> 00:14:33,497
-What's a game show?
-Something you make sketches about.
304
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:35,165
KENT BROCKMAN:
It looks like Apu won't be playing
305
00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:38,168
the Cabbage Festival ever again.
306
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:43,132
Dad, you shouldn't be jealous of Apu.
307
00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:45,384
Remember, it's all about the music.
308
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:47,761
I'm not jealous. I'm envious.
309
00:14:47,845 --> 00:14:50,472
Jealousy is when you worry
someone will take what you have.
310
00:14:50,556 --> 00:14:52,600
Envy is wanting
what someone else has.
311
00:14:52,683 --> 00:14:54,894
What I feel is envy.
312
00:14:54,977 --> 00:14:56,270
Hmm.
313
00:14:56,353 --> 00:14:58,689
-Wow, he's right.
-You know what?
314
00:14:58,772 --> 00:15:01,817
Apu leaving is the best thing
that ever happened to this band.
315
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:05,654
We're gonna be like Genesis
after Peter Gabriel left.
316
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:07,948
You mean more popular
but not as good?
317
00:15:08,032 --> 00:15:10,576
Phil Collins-era Genesis
is not as good, huh?
318
00:15:10,659 --> 00:15:12,912
"No Reply at All,"
"Land of Confusion,"
319
00:15:12,995 --> 00:15:15,080
"Throwing it All Away,"
"Illegal Alien,"
320
00:15:15,164 --> 00:15:18,667
"I Can't Dance,"
and I'm sure I don't need to mention...
321
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:21,045
"Invisible Touch"!
322
00:15:21,128 --> 00:15:22,254
Hmph!
323
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,258
(Covercraft playing)
324
00:15:30,387 --> 00:15:32,264
(grunts)
325
00:15:33,015 --> 00:15:35,935
You know, we really could use
a new lead singer.
326
00:15:36,018 --> 00:15:38,270
You know,
I've been known to sing a little.
327
00:15:38,354 --> 00:15:41,023
What? So you can also
get famous and bail on us?
328
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:42,191
You're out of the band!
329
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:44,318
Well, you can't just kick him out.
330
00:15:44,401 --> 00:15:47,571
Oh, so you're sticking up
for Yoko here?
331
00:15:47,655 --> 00:15:50,366
Looks like I've got another Yoko
on my hands.
332
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:52,034
How can there be two Yokos?
333
00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:55,204
Yoko! Yoko! Yoko! Yoko! Yoko!
334
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:57,706
All you Yokos are out of the band!
335
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,750
(grumbling)
336
00:16:05,881 --> 00:16:08,550
-Are you okay?
-Do I sound okay?
337
00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:10,094
You sound great!
338
00:16:10,177 --> 00:16:13,222
Your licks are really... juicy.
339
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:15,307
They're not juicy. My licks are dry.
340
00:16:15,391 --> 00:16:17,226
Dry and scratchy like a cat's tongue.
341
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:21,146
You didn't join a band to
become famous like in Almost Famous.
342
00:16:21,230 --> 00:16:23,148
You loved playing music
with your friends.
343
00:16:23,232 --> 00:16:24,900
That was enough to make you happy.
344
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:26,819
Well, it's not enough anymore.
345
00:16:26,902 --> 00:16:28,988
When something great happens
to one person,
346
00:16:29,071 --> 00:16:31,115
everyone else's life gets a little worse.
347
00:16:31,198 --> 00:16:33,075
Look it up, it's called physics.
348
00:16:33,158 --> 00:16:34,743
Apu is a good man.
349
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:37,997
He sent over front row tickets
and backstage passes
350
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,416
to his show at the Costington Center.
351
00:16:40,499 --> 00:16:42,751
Oh, you mean he generously invited us
352
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:44,670
to come watch him be a rock star?
353
00:16:44,753 --> 00:16:46,964
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
354
00:16:47,047 --> 00:16:49,174
Your friend had a wonderful thing
happen to him,
355
00:16:49,258 --> 00:16:52,428
and you are coming with us
to share in his talent.
356
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:54,388
I'll never have a per diem.
357
00:16:54,471 --> 00:16:56,306
You don't know what a per diem is.
358
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:57,599
Still want one.
359
00:16:59,935 --> 00:17:01,145
Hmph.
360
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:12,197
Hmph.
361
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:15,367
Hmph.
362
00:17:17,411 --> 00:17:19,371
Apu wouldn't be able to sing a note
363
00:17:19,455 --> 00:17:21,623
if I didn't help him
get over his stage fright
364
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:23,500
with his Kwik-E-Mart shirt.
365
00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:26,086
(gasps) Backstage pass,
366
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:29,590
you just became a payback rage pass.
367
00:17:39,808 --> 00:17:42,186
Look at all this rock star
dressing room stuff.
368
00:17:42,269 --> 00:17:43,604
What a sellout.
369
00:17:43,687 --> 00:17:44,855
Cheese plate...
370
00:17:44,938 --> 00:17:47,274
Oh, sorry, cubed cheese plate.
371
00:17:47,357 --> 00:17:51,111
Lemon tea, probably for his throat.
372
00:17:51,195 --> 00:17:52,613
Mm-hmm!
373
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:56,492
Let's see how he performs
in front of all those people
374
00:17:56,575 --> 00:17:59,536
without his magic-people-
performing-in-front-of shirt.
375
00:18:00,454 --> 00:18:02,206
-(door opens)
-(gasps)
376
00:18:02,289 --> 00:18:04,416
But, Mr. Shredder, you promised me
377
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:07,044
after we played my hometown
I could have a day off.
378
00:18:07,127 --> 00:18:09,004
I also promised I'd kick heroin.
379
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:10,214
Hmm?
380
00:18:10,297 --> 00:18:12,549
But the tour is so hard on my family.
381
00:18:12,633 --> 00:18:15,719
My octuplets are being raised
by roadies and bodyguards.
382
00:18:15,803 --> 00:18:17,888
This is not proper.
383
00:18:17,971 --> 00:18:21,141
Look, Apu,
for 25 years we wasted money
384
00:18:21,225 --> 00:18:22,810
on women, drugs,
385
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:25,145
and guitars with live fish inside.
386
00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:27,356
And now we want to keep it going.
387
00:18:27,439 --> 00:18:29,691
You signed a contract for a three-year,
388
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:32,402
57-country tour at union scale--
389
00:18:32,486 --> 00:18:34,071
no per diem.
390
00:18:34,154 --> 00:18:36,740
-(gasps softly)
-You're in the band.
391
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:41,411
Oh, well, I guess it's show time.
392
00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:44,665
-(gasps) Homer?
-I'm sorry, Apu.
393
00:18:44,748 --> 00:18:46,333
I thought you were living
your dream life,
394
00:18:46,416 --> 00:18:48,252
so naturally I wanted to ruin it.
395
00:18:48,335 --> 00:18:50,379
But now I know things stink,
396
00:18:50,462 --> 00:18:52,339
so I'm okay with it.
397
00:18:52,422 --> 00:18:53,757
Oh, what is the point?
398
00:18:53,841 --> 00:18:56,802
I am trapped like a Kwik-E-Mart
hot dog on a roller.
399
00:18:56,885 --> 00:18:59,513
Kwik-E-Mart hot dog, eh?
400
00:18:59,596 --> 00:19:01,765
You want every hot dog in the store?
401
00:19:01,849 --> 00:19:04,226
Every one? Okay...
402
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:16,655
ALL: Yeah!
403
00:19:16,738 --> 00:19:18,907
FORUM ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen,
404
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:21,702
Tucks Medicated Pads presents...
405
00:19:21,785 --> 00:19:23,579
Sungazer!
406
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:26,206
(cheering)
407
00:19:27,749 --> 00:19:30,210
Uh, people, I am sorry to report
408
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:32,546
that all the original members of the band
409
00:19:32,629 --> 00:19:34,006
have been struck down
410
00:19:34,089 --> 00:19:36,758
by a mysterious case
of hot dog poisoning.
411
00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:39,595
-(groaning)
-Rather than refund your money
412
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:43,015
or reschedule the show,
we have a surprise for you.
413
00:19:43,098 --> 00:19:45,309
Get ready to rock with a group
414
00:19:45,392 --> 00:19:49,146
that is truly all about the music--

{\an8}So there I am, on Easter Island,
436
00:20:54,419 --> 00:20:56,421
{\an8}and the heads ask me
to play them a song.
437
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:58,382
{\an8}I say, "Why me, heads?
438
00:20:58,465 --> 00:21:00,884
{\an8}You've heard the music
of the universe itself."
439
00:21:00,968 --> 00:21:04,471
{\an8}And they say, "Sammy,
your stuff rocks just a little harder."
440
00:21:04,554 --> 00:21:06,014
{\an8}That's when I wake up.
441
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:08,392
{\an8}I'm in the Springfield Elementary
parking lot,
442
00:21:08,475 --> 00:21:11,895
{\an8}doing a buck fifty-five
in my Ferrari 512 Boxer.
443
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:14,856
{\an8}I was cornering so hard,
I blacked out from the Gs, man.
444
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:17,276
{\an8}They say I ran over the groundskeeper.
445
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,860
{\an8}Probably get life in prison.
446
00:21:18,944 --> 00:21:21,655
{\an8}But I got a plan to escape,
using only this harmonica
447
00:21:21,738 --> 00:21:23,865
{\an8}and some guitar picks
with my face on 'em.
448
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:25,951
{\an8}Who's with me on this?
449
00:21:27,786 --> 00:21:30,122
{\an8}(theme music playing)
450
