A Nice Tune is the sixth episode of The Pumpernickel Show.
Summary[]
Harry gets a song from a commercial stuck in his head.
Plot[]
The episode starts with Dod, Snippy and Ry watching a funny show on TV. Ry wants to watch something else, but a commercial for a Dish Soap product comes on. Harry, Snizzy, Nashville, Pumpy, Gorga and Coach Squidward Pheekers come it and watch it. Eventually, Harry learns the song and it gets stuck in his head. At night, Harry can't stop singing the song, which keeps the kids up all night, which makes Gorga angry. He suggests they consult Madame Judy, so they go to her palace for advice.
The kids play Charades, but Harry drops out, because the song is stuck in his head. Snippy invented a machine that will get a song out of your head, and Harry tries it. It works, but when they rejoice, Snippy drops the machine, breaking it, and the notes fly into Harry's head, and it's stuck in his head again.
Harry is now depressed and crying. Dod and Nashville cheer him up with a song ("Change of Plans"). The song is out of Harry's bead, but another music video plays. Harry picks up the song and pretends to be a platypus, meowing like a cat. Dod and Snippy despair, as their problems have started all over again.
