True dat. This dude's one crucial reggae mouse.

-What him called again, Scratchy?

-Chaka Overdub.

Him one of the biggest reggae stars ever!

Him travel the world playing his awesome music and, check this,

him look as cool as him sound.

Me bare excited that Chaka Overdub coming to Grove Town today,

for one day only.

That's right. Him gonna play a special gig live on For Real FM.

Me would sure love to meet him.

Maybe we could get him to sign that record sleeve for you.

That'd be the most bombastic ting ever.

RADIO CRACKLES

-PRES:

-'Rastamouse, come in, come in. Are you reading me?

'Message from President Wensley Dale. Come immediately.'

Easy Crew, let's shift.

-Whoo, come on! Let's go!

-Ooh!

Ha-ha!

Testing, testing, one, two...

Yo, everyone, wa'gwan in here?

Hey, Rastamouse, you're early.

We're still setting up for Chaka's gig.

He's playing here? In the President's crib?

Where else? I'm making sure me old pal Chaka Overdub

gets the full megastar treatment.

Where is he, Gladstone? Where?

That is the question, Scratchy.

Him supposed to be right here,

but Chaka, this great reggae megastar,

him show up, then him disappear.

Don't say that, Mr Pres.

Chaka's here, all right, just through there in your bedroom.

-He's getting ready for the gig.

-But him been in there for ages.

We've been knocking and knocking, but him not come out.

Maybe him sleeping.

Even megastars need a likkle snooze sometimes.

Him due to play live on the radio real soon.

The gig will happen, all right.

Chaka won't let ME down.

Let's get him now.

Chaka. Chaka.

Mr Overdub, are you in here?

It looks like him gone out, through that door.

Oh, no. This is bad.

If Chaka misses the gig,

he'll head off touring the world, like always,

and Mouseland won't hear him play.

Man, that'd be dread.

-We gotta find him.

-And fast. He's got a gig to do.

Easy Crew, will you please find this missing megastar of yours?

All this hoo-ha making me proper anxious.

Nah worry yourself, Wensley Dale,

we'll look for Chaka Overdub

Now, Mr President, why don't you try and chill and ting?

Uh. Good idea, Zoomer.

Me was thinking about a nice relaxing game of golf.

Now, er...

That's funny, me favourite golfing hat is nah here.

We'll look out for your missing hat.

But, most important, we'll look out for that missing musician.

This way, Easy Crew.

Mm.

Proper fragrant.

Zoomer, we're meant to be looking for clues,

not smelling flowers.

Sorry, Scratchy.

I'm so glad you like my flowers, Zoomer,

just like that lovely mouse I met earlier.

Do you know who it was, Malky?

No, but we had the nicest chat about gardening.

-Did him have a big tuft of red hair?

-Like this?

No. I would've noticed hair like that. Eh-heh-heh-heh.

But he was such a cheery chatty fellow.

No red hair. It can't have been Chaka.

We better keep looking. Laters, Malky.

-FATS:

-Da-dee-dee-dee dah. Dee-dah.

-RASTAMOUSE LAUGHS

Fats, you seem in a proper jolly mood.

Heh-heh. Me sure is, Rastamouse.

Me been having the nicest chat with this mouse I just drove into town

Me was feeling a bit grumpy today,

but meeting him proper cheered me up.

Tell us about this mouse, Fats. What did you talk about?

Him told me him travelled all over the world.

He asked me enough questions

about all the interesting places ME been to.

-Chaka Overdub toured all over the world, right?

-Right.

It must've been him.

Did him have bright red hair, like this?

Hm... No. Me would've spotted a natty tuff like that for sure.

-Oh.

-We better keep looking around the mansion.

You know, me tink we should head into town.

Now, where did you drop this mouse, Fats?

-Oh. Outside the record store.

-Easy Crew, let's shift.

Yo, dudes, check out these crucial guitar licks me just learn.

Oh! Who showed you how to play them, Dexter?

This mouse me met. Him heard me practising and we got chatting.

Me not know who him was, but him know ENOUGH stuff about reggae.

-Did him look like this?

-Him had shades, but...

not red hair.

This not going well at all.

The radio gig is due to start real soon

and there's still no sign of Chaka.

So where this mouse go next, Dexter?

-Me left him outside Ron's barber shop.

-Thanks, breddah.

Come on, Easy Crew.

# Boom boom boom-boom boom boom. #

-Yo, Easy Crew.

-Yo, Ron.

That's one cheery tune you was humming.

Me whole mood is cheery now.

Early on, me was complaining away,

then some mouse heard me moaning

and come to get him funky hair trim,

and cheered me RIGHT up, big time!

Sounds like the mouse we've been trailing.

-And him had funky hair, you say?

-Him sure did.

Funky RED hair. Look!

Red like the sun setting over Mousetego Bay.

And red like the picture on me record sleeve.

Chaka Overdub? You mean, me just...

You just gave a haircut to a megastar.

-Hee-hee-hee. And you nah even know it was him.

-Hm.

You'd tink a FAMOUS star would wanna talk about him own glamorous life,

but him just ask me plenty of questions

about haircuts and me life here in Grove Town.

-Interesting. You know where him went, Ron?

-Afraid not.

But me do remember him started sniffing

and wondering where this tasty bacon smell was coming from.

Bacon smell, you say? ZOOMER SNIFFS

Zoomer's nose is on the job.

Heh. Yup. Me got it.

Cheese pie.

-This way, Easy Crew.

-Thanks, Ron.

-Catch you laters.

-Laters, Easy Crew.

That pie smell is getting stronger.

ZOOMER SNIFFS Mm.

Hee-hee. This is me favourite kind of investigating.

Me tink the cheese smell is coming from in here.

-Me nah kidding you, Chaka.

-Yo, Sasha,

-That pie smell crucial.

-A-ha-ha-ha.

Cheesy Crew, let me introduce me new friend.

You nah gotta introduce Chaka Overdub.

Him a megastar!

It is you, right, Mr Overdub?

It sure is nice to meet ya all.

You too, Chaka, but you're late for your radio gig.

Ah, yes.

-Me guess me better get going.

-CHAKA SIGHS

Wicked. Let's shift.

-Mr Overdub?

-Slow down there, Scratchy.

Me got a feeling that Chaka's not quite as excited

about this gig as YOU are.

Chaka, why don't you take a minute

to tell us why you went walkabout today?

For years, me been touring all over the world.

Everyday, me in some strange new town.

Me used to love it, but now me nah so sure.

It be time for me to settle down.

But isn't being a mega famous music star

the coolest ting ever?

Me used to want the glamorous lifestyle -

all the travel, the interviews, the fans -

but now me not so sure it suits me.

-SCRATCHY: Oh.

-Sounds exhausting, living like that.

It must be hard to make new friends.

Exactly. I kinda lonely.

Today, me realised keeping it real matters way more

than all of that fame.

Me got such cool vibes from Grove Town,

As soon as me arrived, me wanted to get to know the place

without being treated like a star for once.

That's why you borrowed the President's hat,

so nobody would recognise your natty red hair!

True dat. Me sorry me took it.

Me sorry to let down Gladstone.

and all of them mice who was looking forward to hearing me gig.

You nah worry yourself, Chaka.

It sounds like you're ready to put this megastar life behind you,

but me hope it's not too late for Scratchy

to get your autograph on her record sleeve.

Maybe one more autograph nah gonna hurt.

-SCRATCHY GASPS

-Wicked!

Thanks, Chaka. Now me gotta make a likkle call to the President.

Me tink me know how you can make this bad ting good.
