Transcript: The Back to Front Band
A wooden spoon floats from a magical blue mixing box with yellow stars.
[Cheerful music plays]
Singers sing, MIXMUPS, HERE COME THE MIXMUPS. MIXMUPS, MIX, MIX, THE MIXMUPS. MIXMUPS, HERE COME THE MIXMUPS. OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH.
Text reads, “Mixmups.” The letter ‘i’ is replaced with the wooden spoon.
The Mixmups, Pockets, Spin and Giggle pose beneath the text. Pockets is a blue bear with red pockets. She wears triangular red eyeglasses with a yellow star on each side. Spin is a red rabbit with a yellow lollipop-like antenna poking out beneath each of his ears. Giggle, who uses a wheelchair, is a yellow and light orange-striped cat. She holds Roller Guinea, a roller skate-wearing guinea pig, on her lap. Yellow, red and orange confetti explodes in the air.
[Chiming, cheerful music continues]
The singers sing, MIX UP THE MAGIC, ONE, TWO, THREE!
The Mixmups gather around the mixing box in front of their house. Lucky Loover Bird stands beside a swing on a hilltop. Magical sparkles leave their trunk and flow towards the Mixmups. Roller Guinea and Yapette, Pocket’s guide dog, stand with them.
The singers sing, MIX IT, TWIRL IT, WHIRL IT, HEY! TIME FOR SOME MAGIC, ADVENTURE AND PLAY. MIXMUPS, MIXMUPS, HEY, HEY, HEY! MIXMUPS, HERE COME THE MIXMUPS. MIXMUPS, MIX, MIX, THE MIXMUPS. MIXMUPS, HERE COME THE MIXMUPS. MIX UP THE MAGIC, MIX UP THE MAGIC. MIX UP THE MAGIC WITH THE MIXMUPS.
Text reads, “Mixmups.” Lucky Loover Bird, Giggle, Roller Guinea, Pockets, Yapette, and Spin pose and smile beneath the text.
Fluffy white clouds smile in a blue sky.
The clouds say, HMM.
[Upbeat music plays, birds chirp]
Lucky Loover Bird narrates, IN MIXINGTON VALLEY, THE MIXMUPS PLAY. WHAT KIND OF ADVENTURE WILL THEY MIX UP TODAY?
Text reads, “The Back to Front Band.” Smaller white text reads, “Story by Rebecca Atkinson. Script by Deborah Macdonald and Rebecca Atkinson.”
By the Mixmups house, Pockets, Giggle, and Yapette ride in spinning teacups.
[Spin singing, Yapette vocalizing, ride creaking]
Spin slides on his knees to the ride. He wears star-shaped sunglasses and holds a rolled-up magazine.
[Slide whistle, creaking, Pockets and Giggle gasping]
Spin sings, I'M SO FAMOUS, YES, IT'S TRUE. ROCK AND ROLL IS WHAT I DO.
[Guitar music plays]
He stands and trips over the ride lever.
[Grunting, gasping]
Spin says, SORRY.
Giggle asks, WHAT'RE YOU DOING, SPIN?
Spin stands up.
[Slide whistle]
Spin says, I'M GOING TO BE A FAMOUS ROCK STAR. LIKE THIS.
Spin unrolls the magazine and shows the photograph of a rock band on the cover.
[Rustling]
Spin asks, DO YOU WANT TO BE IN MY BAND?
Pockets says, NO THANKS, SPIN. WE'RE HAVING QUIET TIME.
Pockets holds up her book.
[Slide whistle]
Spin says, QUIET TIME IS BORING. BE IN MY BAND INSTEAD. GIGGLE, YOU CAN BE ON DRUMS. POCKET, YOU CAN BE ON GUITAR. AND I'LL BE THE SINGER.
[Happy music plays, Yapette grunting]
Spin sings, I’LL BE FAMOUS, SO FAMOUS.
Giggle says, THAT DOES SOUND LIKE FUN.
[Yapette grunting]
Pockets says, OKAY THEN, SPIN.
Spin cheers, HOORAY! LET'S MIX UP A ROCK BAND ADVENTURE, AND BE MIX-MUPPY ROCKSTARS!
[Cheering]
By her treehouse, Lucky Loover Bird says, TIME TO PLAY.
[Gentle music plays, birds chirping]
Lucky Loover Bird stops swinging and opens a door in the tree trunk, revealing an orange mohawk wig.
[Rattling, slide whistle, creaking]
At the mixing box, Spin drops in his sunglasses.
[Upbeat music plays]
Spin says, ROCK STAR SUNGLASSES.
Pockets drops the magazine into the box.
[Rattling, rustling]
Pockets says, ROCK STAR MAGAZINE.
Giggle says, CLAPPING AND CHEERING.
[Everyone clapping, cheering]
Spin says, HM, WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED?
Lucky Loover Bird blows sparkles towards the Mixmups.
[Gentle music plays, sparkles chiming]
The clouds say, HM?
The Mixmups cheer, MAGIC SPARKLES!
[Yapette barks, rock music plays]
Spin uses the wooden spoon to stir inside the mixing box.
The Mixmups sing, MIX UP THE MAGIC, ONE, TWO, THREE. MIX UP THE MAGIC, WHOO-HOO, YIPPEE! MIX IT, TWIRL IT, WHIRL IT, HEY! TIME FOR SOME MAGIC, ADVENTURE AND PLAY. MIXMUPS, MIXMUPS, YEAH!
The Mixmups and the wooden spoon drop into the box. The box shrinks and disappears.
[Chiming, bonk]
The Mixmups sing, MIXMUPS, MIXMUPS, MIXMUPS, MIX UP THE MAGIC, ONE, TWO, THREE. YEAH.
The mixing box reappears in an empty white space, and the Mix-Ups and wooden spoon fly out. Giggle catches the spoon. The box unfolds, and trees and a stage appear.
[Rustling, music stops]
The Mixmups exclaim, WOW. WHOA.
Spin says, IT'S A STAGE WITH MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND THINGS!
The Mixmups wear spiky leather bracelets. Pockets and Giggle have spiky hair and t-shirts, and Spin’s denim jacket is on backwards. Roller Guinea has a mohawk and Yapette’s collar changes into a spiky leather collar.
[Popping, chiming, giggling, birds singing]
Everyone says, OOH! WOO-HOO!
Spin says, YOU TWO LOOK JUST LIKE ROCK STARS.
Pockets says, SPIN, LOOK AT YOU. YOUR JACKET'S ON BACK TO FRONT.
Spin says, OH, YEAH. WELL, I LIKE IT BACK TO FRONT. COME ON, EVERYONE. FOLLOW ME. HEY, LOOK. THIS MICROPHONE'S FOR THE SINGER TO SING INTO.
Spin leads the others onto the stage and grabs a microphone.
[Upbeat music plays]
Spin sings, I'M SO FAMOUS, YES, IT'S TRUE.
[Pockets giggling]
Spin gives Pockets a pink electric guitar.
Spin says, AND HERE'S A GUITAR FOR YOU, POCKETS.
Pockets says, UH, I'VE NEVER PLAYED A GUITAR BEFORE.
[Pockets playing guitar riff]
Spin and Giggle say, WOW!
Pockets says, I'M PRETTY GOOD.
[Giggle drumming]
Giggle says, HEY, I'M PRETTY GOOD, TOO.
Lucky Loover Bird leans against the side of the stage, wearing the orange mohawk.
Lucky Loover Bird says, YEAH, THE WIBBLE WOBBLES HAVEN'T TURNED UP. LET ME DOWN, MAN. I NEED ANOTHER BAND. OKAY. LATERS, DUDE.
Spin asks, WHO ARE YOU?
Lucky Loover Bird says, I'M A BAND MANAGER, DUDE.
Giggle asks, WHAT'S A BAND MANAGER DUDE?
[Birds singing]
Lucky Loover Bird says, A BAND MANAGER HELPS ROCK BANDS PUT ON SHOWS FOR LOTS OF PEOPLE. YOU GUYS GOT SOME GREAT SOUNDS, AND A PRETTY COOL LOOK, TOO.
[Yapette vocalizing, birds chirping]
Lucky Loover Bird asks, WHAT'S YOUR BAND CALLED?
Spin says, UH, WHAT'S OUR BAND CALLED? UM...MM, WE DON'T HAVE A NAME YET.
Giggle says, OH, WE'RE THE NO NAME YET BAND.
Lucky Loover Bird says, AH, COOL. I'M LOOKING FOR A BAND TO PLAY A SHOW.
Spin says, WHOA. CAN YOU MAKE ME FAMOUS?
Lucky Loover Bird says, DUDE, I CAN MAKE ANYONE FAMOUS. ARE YOU IN?
Spin and Pockets say, YEAH!
Giggle says, YES!
The clouds smile and the sky around them changes to twilight.
The clouds say, HMM.
The stage curtains are closed. An audience stands in front of the stage.
[Crowd chattering]
Spin peeks through the opening between the curtains and looks at the audience.
[Rustling, Spin gasping]
Lucky Loover Bird says, YO, WIGGLE FOLK, I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS AND SOME GOOD NEWS. THE WIBBLE WOBBLES HAVEN'T TURNED UP.
[Birds chirping]
The audience says, AWW.
Lucky Loover Bird says, BUT WE'VE GOT A NEW BAND THAT EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT.
[Audience cheering]
Lucky Loover Bird says, GIVE IT UP FOR THE ONE, THE ONLY, NO NAME YET BAND.
The curtains slide open, revealing the band. Giggle and Pockets play their instruments, and Spin looks at the audience.
[Cheering, rock music plays, Spin gasping]
Spin runs off the stage.
Giggle shouts, SPIN, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
The curtains close.
[Rustling, music stops]
Lucky Loover Bird says, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK, ROCKERS.
The clouds say, HMM.
[Spin sighing]
Off-stage, Spin faces a tree. Pockets, Giggle, Yapette, and Roller Guinea approach behind him.
Pockets asks, WHAT'S WRONG, SPIN?
[Yapette whining, gentle music plays]
Spin says, I'M NOT DOING IT ANYMORE.
Giggle says, BUT THIS WAS YOUR IDEA, SPIN. YOU WANTED TO BE FAMOUS.
Spin says, I'VE CHANGED MY MIND. I DON'T WANT TO BE FAMOUS, AND I'M A RUBBISH ROCK STAR.
Lucky Loover Bird approaches.
Lucky Loover Bird says, HEY, YOU'RE NOT RUBBISH. YOU SOUNDED GREAT. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING YOU COULD DO TO BE A FAMOUS ROCK STAR.
In a flashback bubble, the Mixmups wear their rock star outfits.
[Popping, gentle music plays]
Spin says, HM, WE LOOKED LIKE ROCK STARS, AND WE SOUNDED PRETTY GOOD, TOO, BUT WHEN I SAW THE AUDIENCE, I GOT SCARED.
[Popping, birds chirping]
Pockets asks, WHY WERE YOU SCARED, SPIN?
Spin says, I DON'T KNOW, BUT MY TUMMY FELT FUNNY, AND MY CHEEKS FELT HOT, AND I DON'T WANT EVERYONE LOOKING AT ME.
Giggle asks, HOW CAN WE DO A SHOW IF SPIN DOESN'T LIKE THE AUDIENCE LOOKING AT HIM?
Pockets says, HM, WHAT IF SPIN DOESN'T LOOK AT THEM?
[Spin clapping]
Spin says, OOH. I COULD DO IT BACK TO FRONT, LIKE MY JACKET. THEN I WON'T SEE THEM LOOKING AT ME.
Giggle says, YES! AND I KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD CALL OUR BAND.
The clouds smile.
The clouds say, HM.
On the stage, Lucky Loover Bird steps out between the curtains.
[Crowd chattering]
Lucky Loover Bird says, WIGGLES AND WIGGLETTES, DOGS AND GUINEA PIGS, GET READY FOR THE BACK TO FRONT BAND!
The curtain opens and the band stands with their backs to the audience.
[Audience cheering, rock music plays]
Spin sings, WHEN YOUR TUMMY'S FEELING FUNNY. AND YOUR FACE IS ALL HOT, AND YOUR FEET TURN INTO JELLY, AND YOU'RE STUCK TO YOUR SPOT. JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TURN AROUND. AND PUT UP YOUR HAND…
The band sings, THEN WAVE IT IN THE AIR, WAVE IT IN THE AIR. YEAH, 'CAUSE WE'RE THE BACK TO FRONT BAND, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. WE'RE THE BACK TO FRONT BAND, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. WE'RE THE BACK TO FRONT BAND, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. WE'RE THE BACK TO FRONT. OOH.
The clouds say, OOH!
[Audience cheering]
The band sings, DA-DA-DA-DA-DA, YEAH.
Spin turns and faces the audience.
Spin says, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, WIGGLES. YOU'VE BEEN GREAT, AND WE'VE BEEN THE BACK TO FRONT BAND.
The band walks off the stage.
[Audience cheering, clouds hmming, gentle music plays]
Giggle says, YOU DID IT, SPIN! YOU DID IT BACK TO FRONT.
Spin says, YEAH, I'M A FAMOUS ROCK STAR.
Lucky Loover Bird says, LIKE I SAY, DUDES, THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER WAY.
The rock outfits and hairstyles disappear.
[Spoon rattling]
The Mixmups say, WOO!
Spin says, IT'S HOME TIME.
Spin holds up the wooden spoon, and trees and stage disappear as the mixing box folds back into a box.
[Chiming, upbeat music plays, whoosh, flapping]
Lucky Loover Bird waves to the Mixmups. Sparkles lift them and carry them back into the mixing box.
Lucky Loover Bird says, TOODLE-LOO!
[Upbeat music plays]
The magical mixing box reappears in front of the Mixmups’ house. The Mixmups lift out of the box and land in the teacups.
[Cheering]
The wooden spoon flies out of the box, and Spin catches it.
[Slide whistle, boing, chiming]
Spin says, THAT WAS A ROCKING ADVENTURE. I'M GLAD WE GOT TO BE IN THE BAND AND BE FAMOUS ROCK STARS FOR THE DAY.
[Rock music plays, Giggle gasping]
Giggle asks, WHAT'S THAT?
Spin picks up a magazine and shows the others the front cover.
Spin says, IT'S A MAGAZINE ABOUT ROCK STARS, AND THE BACK TO FRONT BAND ARE ON THE FRONT COVER.
Pockets and Giggle say, WOW!
Pockets says, I WONDER WHO PUT THAT THERE?
At the treehouse, Lucky Loover Bird puts the mohawk back into the tree trunk.
[Door creaking, gentle music plays]
Lucky Loover Bird says, MIXING UP ADVENTURES NEAR AND FAR, BUT HOME IS WHERE THE MIXMUPS ARE. BYE, MIXMUPS!
[Chiming, cheerful music plays]
