A Case of the Sing-A-Longs Odd Squad

My name is Agent Olive.

This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This is my lucky pencil.

But back to Otto and me.

We work for an organisation run by kids

that investigates anything strange,

weird and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

LASER

UNICORN WHINNIES

Who do we work for? We work for...

You still haven't said a word.

Sooner or later, you're going to have to talk.

All right, listen. If you don't want to talk, how about a high five?

CRACKLE

You just high-fived... the talkinator!

It makes you talk.

It does?

Now, where did you put the berets?

They're in this briefcase.

Now that I can talk,

let me do a freestyle rap for you about my childhood.

Er...

# Back when I was a boy All of the time

# All I really wanted to be was a mime

# You couldn't even hear the sound of my feet

# But when I walked down the street They would repeat

# He's the mime, the best best mime

# All the time he makes no sounds! #

-Buenos dias, Ms O.

-There you two are.

Something very odd has happened.

You remember Mayor Macklemore?

Mayoral greetings.

What's the problem, Mr Mayor?

It's easier if I just show you. Ms O?

What you're about to see is video

from the mayor's big important meeting this afternoon.

REMOTE BEEPS

So basically, roads go from one point to another

and what I've discovered is that people like them

and they want to see more of them.

And if we can get enough situated...

# Hey hey hey

# Mayor sing

# Mayor dance

# Mayor move like there's ants in his pants

# Hey, it's time It's time for Mayor to dance and...

Mayor Macklemore, this is highly inappropriate!

# Look at my moves Look at my dance... #

One minute I was talking, the next minute I was singing and dancing.

Who wants to see a singing, dancing mayor?

I do!

There's a time and place for singing, Otto. This is not it.

-Right.

-I've seen this before.

Mr Mayor, I'm afraid you have a case of the sing-alongs.

GASPS

Oh, that can't be! I have to judge a spelling bee at 2.30!

You must be having a musical reaction to something.

Olive and Otto!

You follow the mayor around today and find out what it is.

I can't go back out there again.

It's the only way we can figure out what's causing this.

Don't worry, we'll be there, singing and dancing with you.

# Ba-dah-bah-bah... #

Uh, no. No, we won't.

Wow. Not much of a turnout for the spelling bee.

What are you talking about?

Both Larry and Phyllis are here - with their new baby!

-BOTH:

-Hi, Olive!

-Hey, guys.

-Hi.

Mr Mayor?

-Where did he go?

-I don't know.

-Yah!

-OLIVE AND OTTO YELP

-Mr Mayor, this spelling bee isn't going to judge itself.

-OK.

-I can do this.

-Yes, you can.

Baby's first word, coming up right here. Listen, baby, listen.

Your first word is...

# Skippedy-bop-doo Skippedy-bop-doo

# Skippedy-bop skippedy-bop skippedy-bop-doo

# Skippedy-bop-doo Whip-dap-doo-dat-loo-la-loo

# Skippedy-bop-doo Skippedy-bop-doo... #

-S-K-B-L...

-Don't look, baby! Don't look.

Well, I'm proud to announce

that the winner of the biannual chilli cook-off

is none other than...

-..Mr Brown's bean supreme chilli!

-APPLAUSE

There you go!

MAYOR LAUGHS

Ooh, chilli! Chilli!

It's chilli!

# Oh, my little chilli

# Oh, I love my chilli

# Love my little chilli tonight

# Yes, I love my little chilli

# Ooh, my little chilli

# Put it on my shoulder, make me feel bolder

# I got a big chilli beard

# Yeah you might think that that's pretty weird... #

Let's get the mayor back to HQ.

Not only do we still have a singing and dancing mayor,

my office smells like a bowl of chilli!

Well, if it's any consolation, it was the award-winning chilli.

-MAYOR SNIFFS

-Mmm...

I want this case solved -

now!

I have an idea.

Otto took pictures at every event we went to.

If we look at them, maybe there's a pattern.

That is a brilliant idea.

What's a pattern?

You know, something that comes up in every photo

-that might explain things?

-Oh.

Can I borrow that, please?

Uh... MS O HISSES

REMOTE BEEPS

Look - there's a lady holding a baby here...

..and at the spelling bee.

Am I having a musical reaction to babies?

Hold on, Mr Mayor. There's no baby in this photo of your meeting.

That breaks the pattern.

The sing-alongs are not caused by babies.

I see something!

In every photo, there's something with the colour yellow.

I think you're right, partner.

At the spelling bee, the contestant has a yellow shirt on -

and at the chilli cook-off,

the mayor was holding a yellow ribbon.

And then, at the meeting,

everyone at the table is holding a yellow binder.

The photos have the colour yellow in common.

That's a definite pattern.

Ms O, is it possible the mayor is having

a musical reaction to the colour yellow?

He's eating chilli off his sleeve right now.

Anything's possible.

Mr Mayor, we've cleared the area of the colour yellow.

Thank you, Odd Squad. I'm so glad this is all over.

-Mr Mayor, Mr Mayor!

-Good afternoon.

I'm happy to say that thanks to the Odd Squad,

my case of the sing-alongs has been cured.

It seems I was having a musical reaction to the colour yellow!

A special apology to the reporter from the Yellow Gazette.

I just want everyone to know, in this fine city,

that everything is going to be...

# A-OK

# It's going to be A-OK

# It's going to be A-OK today! #

How can this be happening? There's no yellow anywhere!

Talk about bad timing.

The mayor started singing right when the press conference started - 4.30.

# Hey hey hey... #

-Bad timing!

-# I'm going to do some dancing... #

-What?

-The mayor started singing at 4.30

and if I'm not mistaken,

his meeting from earlier today was at 1.30.

Yup. What about the spelling bee?

-2.30.

-And here's a photo from the chilli cook-off.

3.30!

The mayor has been singing 30 minutes past the hour.

That's the pattern.

-We should probably get him back to headquarters.

-Yes.

# A little bit of loving by heart... #

-Mr Mayor, come on.

-Everybody conga!

-CONGA MUSIC PLAYS

-No, no conga!

-No!

This has been a display. No more questions.

# Everybody conga

# Everybody conga Everybody conga... #

Ms O, we figured it out.

The mayor sings and dances every 30 minutes past the hour.

But why is he singing every time it's 30 minutes past the hour?

Mr Mayor, do the times 1.30, 2.30, 3.30 and 4.30 mean anything to you?

Yes, they do.

They remind me of my old high school glee club -

The 30s!

Oh, we used to have so much fun.

We'd sing for the whole school every day

at 30 minutes past the hour.

At 1.30, at 2.30,

at 3.30, at 4.30...

The 30s pattern from the mayor's glee club is repeating itself.

(I think he misses them.)

(I do.)

I have an idea how to fix this,

but we need to bring The 30s back together.

-I keep singing all the time...

-THE 30s TALK OVER EACH OTHER

You were right. All of the other 30s have the sing-alongs too.

It's true. My patients have not been very happy with me.

And I keep getting stung by bees.

So, that's it? We're all cured?

Not quite.

In order to cure the sing-alongs,

the four of you will have to sing together one last time.

GROANS

You know when I said there was a time and place for singing?

-Yeah?

-This is it.

Hit it, Ms O!

MS O PLAYS PIANO

# Back on the stage

# My musical friends will put an end to the singing

By singing again

-# Now is the time

-Here is the place

# With the solution as plain as the mouth on your face

# We found a way to close the case

# Stop it

# Stop it now

# Let's make the music end

# Odd Squad

# They showed us how

# And now we're never ever singing again

-# Unless we want to

-And not because of the disorder

# I am the mayor I run the town

# But this thing with the singing was bringing me down

# We also have jobs and encountered some problems

# I'm looking forward to hearing them some other time. #

Well, what are you waiting for?

Big finish!

# Stop it

# Stop it now

# Let's make the music end

# Odd Squad

# They showed us how

# And now we're never ever singing

Never ever dancing

# Never spilling chilli

-# Or dropping the bone saw

-Or that other thing I did

# Never again

# Odd Squad has saved the day! #

Release the bees!

BUZZ SCREAMS

-Now I remember why we broke up.

-Yeah.
