[Mordecai and Rigby are cleaning out the gutters of the house]
[picks up the dirty leaves and puts them into a bucket] Augh! This is the worst.
RigbyI don't know, I kind of like it up here. The world seems different at this height. It makes me feel like a giant! [roars]
What? Look, we're not up here to enjoy the view, so will you just come and help me clean these gutters?
Rigby
I'm helping, I'm holding the hose. Look, I'm taking a giant leak. [positions the hose to his crotch, turns it on and pretends to pee while moaning]
Yeah, well, you don't need those gloves to hold the hose. (holds up hands) Look at this dude. Come on, let me wear them!
Rigby
Sorry, man, you should have thought about that before you threw paper, and lost to my scissors.
[facepalms] Augh! Whatever, dude. Just hose this stuff off.
[Rigby hoses the leaves out of the gutter. A cassette tape is launched into the air and hits Mordecai in the head and falls to the ground]
[annoyed] Agh! What the heck?!
Rigby
Uh, sorry man.
[picks up and inspects the dirty tape] Weird, it's a tape. Wonder what it's doing up in the gutter.
Rigby
Maybe it fell out of a plane.
Nah, it's probably just trash. I wanna see how far I can chuck it.
Rigby
Wait!
Rigby
Don't you wanna see what band it is?
Oh, okay. [uses his thumb to wipe the dirt off of the tape, revealing the words "Solid Bold"] Solid Bold? [gets annoyed] Augh, it's that single of that summertime song.
Rigby
"Summertime Loving: Loving in the Summer (Time)"?
[looks at the tape] Yeah.
Rigby
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! [runs up to Mordecai and grabs the tape] Aw, this is my jam right here!
[annoyed] What? This song sucks.
Rigby
Nah, you were all into it too, I remember.
Yeah, just for that one summer in junior high and then I realized how lame it was.
Rigby
Whatever, man. Once we pop this into the stereo, all the good memories will come flooding back, and you'll see. You'll see who's jam it is.
[turns his back on Rigby and crosses his arms] I'm not listening to that trash.
Rigby
You need to get your mind out of these gutters, and into the summer.
Fine, but only because I want to take a break.
MRMordecai and Rigby
[eating sandwiches]
Rigby
♪It's summertime... (eats sandwich) Lo-o-ovin'... (eats again) Loving in the summertime.♪
Rigby
(obliviously) What?
You're singing that song.
Rigby
I am?
[annoyed] Yes, please stop. It's annoying.
Rigby
I guess it's pretty catchy. Summertime lo-o-ovin'. Baby, why can't you be mi-
[covers Rigby's mouth] Dude!
Rigby
Gonna head down to the beach, gonna do some beachy things-
[covers Rigby's mouth] Dude!
Rigby
It's summertime lo-o-o-
[covers Rigby's mouth] Dude! Quit it!
Rigby
[takes Mordecai's hand off his mouth] I'm sorry, I can't help it! It's stuck in my head, and I can't get it out!
Well, for my sanity and yours, we gotta get that song outta there.
Rigby
Yeah, okay.
I've got an idea: Brain Explosion!
Rigby
What!? You can't explode my brain! That's gotta be illegal!
(holds up CD) No, the band, Brain Explosion.
Rigby
Oh, never heard of them.
And that's why you've never heard of them. But trust me, these guys are like real, real musicians. Just listen to some of this, and it'll throw that poppy trash music right out of your head.
[a weird synthy noise plays]
Wait, wait... [the weird synthy noise plays again] Aw man, that's like the best part! [Mordecai notices Rigby sleeping, and angrily glares at him] RIGBY!
Rigby
[startled] Lovin' in the summertime! What? Ah, I think your song just put me to sleep.
Man, you have no taste in music.
Rigby
Look, all I know is that this song is still stuck in my head.
Alright, well, what if we sit down and listen to the entire summertime song beginning to end? That way your brain'll have closure and then it can move on.
Rigby
[turns on the stereo]
SSinger
It's summertime and you know what that means. Gonna head down to the beach, gonna do some beachy things.
[walks out of room] I can't stand this, I'm gonna wait outside.
SSinger
It's summertime and it feels just right
[opens the door] Well, did it work?
Rigby
[singing] I think it worked, but I can't be sure.
[pulls his hair] Aw, man! It's even worse now! Time to take a different approach.
[Montage of Mordecai and Rigby doing various things to get the song unstuck, like sticking Rigby's head in a toilet, using loud objects and finally having Muscle Man hit Rigby on the head with a broom. Cut to Rigby angrily taking his helmet off]
Rigby
Wait. Stop. Stop. It's not working. The stupid song's still stuck in my head.
You have a song stuck in your head? [at this, Rigby throws the helmet]
Man, we're running out of options here. Let's see.
[The song starts playing]
[gets annoyed] Dude, turn it off, I'm trying to think. Dude, stop playing the tape we've already tried- [turns and gasps]
[Rigby is floating with a purple beam with white scribbles and small neon green stars coming out of his mouth and pupils dilated. He suddenly goes back to normal and the song stops playing]
[covers Rigby's mouth] Dude, what's wrong with you?!
Rigby
I don't… [floats again, goes back to normal each time] …know! I can't… control it! [floats again]
[Cut to Rigby's mind whilst sleeping. The background is empty]
DRDream Rigby
Hello? [walks] Hello?
[Large speaker emerges from ground playing the song. Rigby runs and another speaker emerges]
DRDream Rigby
Get out, get out! [screams, digs into his ear and pulls out the cassette and throws it far away. He laughs victoriously but suddenly, a giant shadow emerges and runs towards Rigby]
Rigby
[wakes up] The song. It's gone! [runs to Mordecai who is asleep.] Mordecai! Mordecai!
Rigby
The song's not in my head anymore!
That's awesome, dude. Now we never have to hear that dumb song again.
(Seeing the Summertime Song as a a physical form, taking the form of a music tape with arms and legs with big, red sunglasses)
...What the heck is that?
Rigby
I have no idea what I'm looking at.
I think the song must've left your head and manifested itself into a physical form.
Rigby
Well, does it have an "off" switch?
Rigby
Hey, dancing song dude! Knock it off! Dude, quit it! Seriously, man! I'm sick of this song!
[Casette drums on Rigby's head]
Rigby
Get off! [tackles the cassette and goes right through it] Oh my gosh, it's a ghost tape! [jumps into Mordecai's arms]
Dude, calm down. It's not a ghost. It's just music. You can't touch music. But music can touch you.
Rigby
Oh, barf. How do we get rid of it?
I don't know. If we just ignore it, it'll probably just go away.
[Montage of Mordecai and Rigby doing everyday activities like trying to eat cereals, trying to watch TV, mowing lawn and tenting customer at the snack bar with the cassette dancing around them. The man sees a dancing cassette and runs away. The cassette dances around on top of stairs while everybody tries to have a park meeting. Everyone, especially Benson, gets annoyed, Benson covers his ears, ragefully growls as he turns red in anger, angrily lets out an agonized scream with his bloodshot eyes, furiously throws his clipboard at the cassette, lividly huffs and leaves in annoyance as the others walk away extremely irritated. Cut to Mordecai and Rigby. Unable to stand anymore of this song, the duo are seen going into a room and locking it.]
Dude, that's it. We gotta do something about this.
Rigby
What can we do? He's unstoppable!
We gotta fight fire with fire.
Rigby
Dude, hello? Fire's just gonna go right through him.
No, dude. We gotta battle him with our own song.
Rigby
What?
We're gonna write the cheesiest, most repetitive, catchiest song ever, and then we'll see how he likes it.
Rigby
[snaps his finger] Aw, snap!
And that's the perfect title!
[Cassette comes running down the hall then walks through the wall as Rigby jumps into Mordecai's arms]
MRMordecai and Rigby
[exit the room, and they run into Pops] Pops!
We need you to distract the "Summertime" Song.
[covers his ears] But I can't stand that song!
I know. We're gonna get rid of it for good. But we need you to buy us some time, so just go dance with him and pretend like you're having fun.
But I'm not going to use my best dance moves!
[The cassette walks up to Pops and starts dancing with him]
Hey Muscle Man, we got work to do, remember? [Muscle Man breaks down]
Rigby
Dude... are you crying?
NO! Crying's for ladies, LIKE YOU!! I don't cry!!
[cut to a crying nude Muscle Man in the shower, with Mordecai and Rigby knocking outside his caravan]
Rigby
Dude, he's been in there for hours!
Muscle Man! Muscle Man! [looks inside] Muscle Man, are you taking a shower so we can't see you crying?
NO!! IT'S... IT'S JUST THE SOUND OF THE WATER HITTING THE DRAIN!!
Dude, what's wrong with him?
[appears] His girlfriend Starla dumped him last night.
Rigby
What?! Muscle Man had a girlfriend? I wonder who had more junk in the trunk.
Muscle Man, just come out! We can talk about it if you want.
NO!!! I DON'T TALK ABOUT MY FEELINGS WITH ANYONE!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
Of course all this trash would still be here. Why do I even try? [spots Rigby] Hey! Hey!! Get over here right now!
[...]
Rigby
Benson! Hey man, I need you—
[covers Rigby's mouth] No. Stop. Don't say anything. What is this? You guys expect me to let this slide?
Rigby
No—yes—I dunno. Look, I just need you—
Ugh, what you need? Well, I need is for you to start cleaning up right now or you're FIRED!!
Rigby
Okay, okay! I'm doin' it! But can you just say my name three— [sees Mordecai behind the tree]
What? Say your name? [Mordecai holds his fist] Why do you want me to say your name? [looks behind] What? What're you looking at?
[Mordecai runs off]
Is that Mordecai? Mordecai!! Mordecai, get over here this second or you're fired! [canned by Rigby] What the heck, Rigby?! What's the matter with you?? [Rigby smiles realizing Benson just said his name, cans him again] AHH!! RIGBY!! [Rigby trashs him. Instead of saying his name one more time though, Benson screams] AUGHH!! [Drops to the ground and pounds it several times with his fists] GAAAHHHHH!!! RAAAAAHHHUH!!! [he furiously throws the trash can up high into the ground and angrily long kicks it] RAAAGGHHHHH!!!
Rigby
JUST SAY MY NAME ONE MORE TIME!!! [looks up beside Mordecai]
Rigby
Gotta find somebody, gotta find somebody! Fives!! You gotta help me, man! You gotta say my name three times! [beat] I'm jinxed and Mordecai's taking this thing way too far! You gotta say my name three times!!
[Fives shakes his head]
Rigby
COME OOON!!! [Fives shakes again] WHY NOT?!?!
Because I'm jinxed too...
Aha! [leap-punches Fives] No talking while you're jinxed, loser!
Rigby
Hi-Five Ghost, Hi-Five Ghost, Hi-Five Ghost!
Rigby
Dude, help me back! [Fives flies off] NO, WAIT!!
Dude, why'd you do that for?!
Rigby
I'm sorry, I just needed to get rid of my jinx!
Why don't you take it off yourself?
Rigby
You can do that?
Pft, yeah, it's easy. Now, here's what you gotta do.
Yoo-hoo! Mordecai! Rigby!
BBoth
Hey, Pops! Hey, Skips!
You think you want some chips with that cheese?
Rigby
Oh, yeah, I guess we overdid it with the cheese, huh? HYAH!! (SPLAT!!)
[all laugh]
Are you supposed to be working at the snack bar today?
Rigby
Do us a solid and cover for us?
You shouldn't abuse the power of the solid. Bad things will happen.
Can you at least pretend you didn't see us?
Okay, but you owe me a solid. [drives off]
Rigby
We should probably get outta here.
Do me a solid and buy me a cup of coffee?
