Maybe dem nah as good as you think, Scratchy.

But the Sugamice sound is wicked and them look proper original, too.

You nah fret now, Scratchy. We gonna sort dis out.

Oh, Easy Crew, thank goodness you're here

cos when me heard the Sugamice play, the rehearsal,

it nah sound very good. It was bad and me nah mean in a good way.

-THEY GASP

-Them turn up on time

and them working hard, them organised and together and ting,

but them all wear the same hats.

It nah cool at all and me nah tink the guy can sing.

The guy? Are you sure you talking 'bout the Sugamice?

Dem's an all girl band, you know.

-Wa'gwan?

-Me nah know, but let's go check it out.

# You gotta work gotta work real hard

# That's if you wanna get far

-Man, dat's some crazy dancing!

-True dat.

Sugamice, RT, wa'gwan?

RT?! Me never said anything 'bout RT! Wa'gwan?

SUGAMICE: Yeah, wa'gwan?

Ah, heavy.

-Urgh, OK, guys, I'm gonna have to fess up.

-Go on.

Scratchy never asked me to get involved.

This is how it really is, me always hanging out at the Dub Shack

cos me wanna be in the music bizz.

Me always wanted to be in a band,

but me can't play an instrument or sing.

Me saw me chance to get involved

when me heard about the Sugamice ting.

They needed to get their act together

to have a chance at getting to the top, so me tell them all

to dress the same and start playing something a bit more...pop.

But what we a go do now?

The contest due to start soon and we still nah got a entry.

You nah fret now, President. Me tink all the Sugamice need

is some advice form a female mouse who really knows her stuff.

You want me go and get Missy D?

That nah gonna be necessary, Scratchy.

That female mouse me talking 'bout is you.

For real? Ha, thanks, Rastamouse.

Wensley, RT, time to let Scratchy and dem sisters do dem ting.

-Get out the guitar, nuh.

-You have your tune?

-Concentrate...

SHUT UP, GUYS!

SCRATCHY SIGHS

You nah need to change to enter to contest tonight.

It's important just to be yourselves,

then you know the vibes, them, right.

The sound you had was crucial and your look was mega cool, too.

All you needed was a bit of confidence.

The confidence to just be you.

Sugamice, let's do this!

# We work hard, both day and night

# Just to get our music grooving real tight

# There is no simple way to success

# No magic potion that will help you progress

# Unless you work, work, work

# You gotta work and work real hard

# Unless you work, work, work

# That's if you wanna get far

# Unless you work, work, work... #

It gives me great pleasure to announce

that the Sugamice are the winners!

And they've won themselves a record deal with Miceland Records.

So, what you think, RT?

I never knew they were so good.

Me sorry me tried to change them just to get in on the act.

RT, me can see that you're sorry and me really think that you could

put your skills to proper use and start to make a bad thing good.

But, Rastamouse, I don't understand, man.

RT, your skills is proper wicked. You nah need to play and sing,

you have a talent for managing,

organising and remembering everything.

How would you like to be the new manager of the Sugamice?
