Mordecai gets out of bed. "Dude wake up, come on." He yawns. "It's time for work." He said. "Eh-eh-eh-eh! Lame! Dude, come on, let's go watch that karaoke tape from last night." Rigby said. "What tape?" Mordecai asked. "Dude, the tape from last night, remember? That old dude with the ponytail gave us a copy of our killer performance." Rigby says those last two words with flair. "Oh, yeah. Dude, we were awesome last night." Mordecai said. "Totally awesome!" Rigby said.

"Where'd you put it?" Mordecai asked. "Put what?" Rigby asked. "The tape." Mordecai said. "Oh, yeah. I put in the fridge." Rigby said. "Oh, yeah." Mordecai said. "To keep the tape as cool as were last night. Whhhhhooooooooa!" They both spin out the door. The fridge door opens and the tape is visible. "So cool." Mordecai said. "Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm." The duo said. Mordecai takes the tape and closes the fridge door. Mordecai plays the tape. "Give it up for Rigby and Mordecai!" Carrey O 'Key said. Mordecai and Rigby enter stage on the screen laughing.

"Dude!" Mordecai pushes Rigby and picks up the microphone. "Hurry up, hurry up!" He said. "Alright. Hello, hello, hello!" Rigby said. "Dude, come on." Mordecai said. "This is for all you hard workers out there that get treated like dirt!" Rigby said. "Dude, so awesome!" Mordecai said to Rigby as they watched. "We got the right to choose it. There ain't no way to loose it. This is our life, this is our song." They laugh. "Oh, we're not gonna take it. No, we ain't gonna take it. We're not gonna take it, anymore." The duo sung. "Hey, we're pretty good!" Rigby said.

"Woo!" The duo said. "What aren't you gonna take?" A man asked. "We're not gonna take anymore garbage from our boss Benson. What a loser." Mordecai said. "Yeah, go back to your sad apartment, and be alone forever!" Rigby said. "Ohhhhhhhh!" The duo said. "What else, what else?" The man asked. "Yeah, and this know-it-all guy Skips, forget him." Rigby said. "Yeah, if you're so smart, then why are you stuck working as a groundskeeper?" Mordecai asked, and Rigby laughs.

"I'm just saying, I'm just saying." Mordecai said. Mordecai and Rigby watch with horrified faces. "Oh, dude, and Pops, Pops!" Rigby said. "Oh, yeah, and this guy Pops just says the dumbest things all the time. You're not as interesting as you think, Pops." Mordecai said. "Ohhhhhhhhhh!" The duo laugh. "We're not gonna take it. No we ain't gonna take it!" They sung. Mordecai and Rigby still watch with horrified faces. Mordecai fast forwards the tape. "Go chew on your own gumballs, Benson." Rigby said. Mordecai laughs. Mordecai fast forwards the tape again. "Oh, I'm so old timey, I don't know what anything is." Mordecai said, imitating Pops.

"What the heck are we doing?!" Mordecai fast forwards the tape again. "My name's Skips. Let me and my muscles stare at you condescendingly." Mordecai said, imitating Skips with a beefy voice. "Walking? No, thanks. I'm too good for that." Rigby said. Mordecai fast forwards the tape again. "Do you remember any of this?" He asked Rigby. "No, no!" Rigby shouted. "And that brings us to the worst of the worst, (Y/n)." The duo's mouths dropped open in horror. "Yeah, she's so annoying." Rigby said. "Yeah, she's not even our real friend, the only reason she's with us all the time is because Benson asked her to monitor us 24/7 like children."

Mordecai said. The duo glance at each other in even more horror before watching again. Then Mordecai does a horrible impression of her voice. "I'm (Y/n), and I always tell terrible jokes and am always trying to roast people when I don't even know how to." Rigby cracks up. The crowd laughs, and the duo look at each other in disbelief. Mordecai fast forwards the tape again. Rigby and Mordecai are laughing on the tape. Mordecai fast forwards the tape again. Rigby and Mordecai are laughing on the tape again. Mordecai fast forwards the tape again. "Wait, stop, stop!" Rigby shouted.

"What do you think, folks? Do you like these guys?" Carrey O 'Key asked. The crowd on tape cheer. "Hey, you boys don't mind if I play this video at my club as a promo, do you?" Carrey O 'Key asked. "Nah, whatever, dude." Mordecai said. "You gotta give us a copy though, so we can re-live this night forever!" Rigby said. The crowd on the tape cheer wildly, then the tape ends. The duo look at each other in horror again. "What the actual crap?! Why did we say all those things about (Y/n)?!"

Rigby panicked. "I don't know!" Mordecai shouted. "She's not the worst of the worst, she's our best friend!" He shouted. "And sure, our friendship started because Benson asked her to watch us but that doesn't mean she's not our friend!" Rigby shouted, panicking even more. "Dude, we can't let her see this! It will destroy her!" Mordecai said. "Not only will it destroy her, but it will destroy our friendship!" Rigby shouted.

"She'll hate us for life! And she'll never want to see or talk to us ever again!" Rigby shouted. "Dude, we can't let anyone see this, especially (Y/n)." Mordecai said. The duo hear a door slam. "What about me?" The chipmunk asked. The duo flinch, then turn to see her with the rest of the gang. "Hey guys." She said. "(Y/n)!" They said in surprise. "See what?" Benson also asked. "See this! Bam!" Rigby breaks the tape in half. "Pfft, I've seen that before. You're not the only one scared of technology." Muscle Man said.

"What's this?" Benson walks towards tape case. "Carrey O' Key's Karaoke?" He asked. "Did you say karaoke? Oh, I just love karaoke! Oh, we must go Benson, we must!" Pops said, and (Y/n) cringes. She had a major fear of singing on stage. "Yeah, that would be pretty fun!" Skips agreed. "Alright." Benson said. "What?!" The trio asked in disbelief. "Well I have been working you all pretty hard lately, so how 'bout we all go out tonight and karaoke it up, my treat?" Benson asked.

Pops, Muscle Man, Skips and Hi Five Ghost cheer. "Great idea, guys. Alright, let's finish our work for the day, fellas." Benson said. "This is gonna be awesome!" Muscle Man said. "Ooh, I can feel the excitement in my bladder!" Pops said. (Y/n) only looks uncomfortable and rubs her right arm as she follows everyone. "No, no!" Rigby panics. "We're going to lose (Y/n)!" He said. Mordecai face palms. "Awww, why are we so dumb?" He asked. "It was the music, man! It fueled our frustrations, it wasn't our fault!" Rigby said. "Whatever, we just can't let them see us trashing them. We gotta go find that master tape." Mordecai said.

"But how are we gonna do that?" Rigby asked. "Dude, it'll be easy. We'll just go ask that fat dude for the tape, and if he says no, we'll just take it from him." Mordecai said. Later the bodyguard Carl grabbed Mordecai and Rigby and threw them out the door at Carrey O' Key's. "I said "no"! I can play that tape whenever I feel like it, and there's not a darn thing you can do about it. I don't wanna see you punks back here again. You're banned!" He slams the door. Later on, Mordecai and Rigby walk up to Benson. "Benson! Hey, man, we need to talk to you about tonight." Mordecai said.

"I'm only paying for the songs. You're on your own for food and drinks." Benson walks away. "Aww, what? Well, I've always got my gravy pouch." Muscle Man pulls up his shirt to reveal the gravy pouch and takes a sip from it. "Ahhh." "No, Benson, wait! We don't think going to karaoke tonight is such a good idea." Mordecai said. "What?" Benson asked. "Karaoke's lame. We should do something really fun, like bowling!" Rigby said. "Yeah, bowling's good! Or pool, the pool hall's always fun. Rap 'em up!" Mordecai said.

"What's with you two? Do you both have stage fright or something?" (Y/n) asked her best friends. "Uh, yeah! That's it. We have stage fright." Rigby said. "Really?" Benson raised an eyebrow at them. "Yup, let's just do something else. Dance hall." Mordecai said. "Bingo!" Rigby said. "Oh, bingo? Really?" Mordecai asked, taking Rigby literally. "No no no, dance hall, I was saying bingo like

"You got it!" Bingo halls are for losers." Rigby said. "Guys! (Y/n)'s right, what is it with you two? I'm trying to do something nice for everyone, boost morale around here. Besides, I've already called the karaoke place and reserved a table." Benson said. "But wait, can't we just-" Mordecai said. "No, we're going to karaoke, and you know what, now it's mandatory. Yup, mandatory having fun at karaoke night. You don't come and you're fired, that goes for you too, (Y/n)." Benson runs off. "So deal with it!!!" "Now what?" Mordecai asked.

~Time Skip~

"Ooh, look how many songs. I'm gonna sing them all!" Pops said. "No, Pops, just one. (Y/n), what're you gonna sing?" Her eyes widen. "I... I um... I think I'll just watch the rest of you sing." She said. "Do they have anything with Spanish guitar?" Skips asked. Muscle Man fist pumps. "Woo! Skips bringing it old school! Woo!" He said. (Y/n) looks around. "Where are Mordecai and Rigby?" She asked. "Uh, ready to order sir?" A waiter asked. "No, we're still waiting for two. They don't think I was serious about this being mandatory. I was being serious.

If they don't show up they're fired!" Benson yelled. "Ooh, they'll be here!" Pops said. "Are you sure about that, Pops? They seemed pretty reluctant about coming." (Y/n) said. As it turns out, the duo are actually above them in the vents. "Oh, man. Dude, we gotta hurry this up, Benson's gonna blow a fuse!" Rigby said. "Rigby!" Mordecai crawls towards a vent grate. "Hey, I found it." He said. "Hey Carl, how many people signed up for karaoke so far?" Carrey O' Key asked.

"Just one, boss." He replies. "Well, dang it, that's not enough! We can't keep this place going with just one singer a night! It's time to play that dang tape! If that won't get people singing, nothing will. Now get me ready like we talked about, you know how I got stage fright." Carrey O' Key said. Carl slaps Carrey several times. Carrey runs onto stage. "Yes! Welcome, folks! Now I know some of you first timers might be a little shy but sure of your talent's with us, so we put together this little promo video to put all your fears to rest. Here we go." He plays the video.

"Scared to get up on stage to sing? Don't be! You couldn't be worse than these guys." The video shows Mordecai and Rigby singing and dancing. "We're not gonna take it. No, we ain't gonna take it." (Y/n) instantly covers her mouth, trying to hold in laughter. "Oh, my." Benson said. "It's Mordecai and Rigby!" Pops said. Skips, (Y/n), Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost murmur excitedly. Mordecai sees the video playing on the computer screen. "Aw, dude, they're playing the promo! C'mon!"

He falls to ground. "Ugh." Rigby lets go of the vent. "Wait-" Rigby falls onto Mordecai. "Ugh." Back to the video, Mordecai and Rigby are still dancing and singing. "We're not gonna take it, anymore!" Benson, Pops, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost and Skips laugh. "So this is why they didn't want us to come tonight! They must've been super embarrassed by their singing." Benson said.

"I guess." (Y/n) said. "We're not gonna take anymore garbage from our boss, Benson!" "What the?" Benson asked. "Wait, what?" (Y/n) asked in surprise. "What a los...!" The video cuts off. Carrey gasps and presses the remote before running back on stage. "Well, uh, sorry folks, um, technical difficulties. Aw, oh hey, why don't we start the songs, shall we? Uh, first up we have Pops!" Pops runs on stage. "That's me!" He giggles.

I've been working so hard I'm punching my card.

Carrey owner runs into the office.

Eight hours for what?

"Hey!" Mordecai gasps. "Get the tape! Get the tape!" He shouted.

Oh, tell me what I got.

"Carl!"

I've got this feeling that times been holding me down.

"Dude, what's going on?!" Mordecai asked. "I don't know, it's stuck!" Rigby said. Carl runs into the office. "Come on, come on!" Mordecai and Carl fight.

I'll hit the ceiling. Or else I'll tear up this town

Rigby gets the tape but is knocked out by Carl. Mordecai tackles Carl. Carrey restrains Mordecai as Rigby punches the tape out of Carl's hand. The tape flies out the door.

Tonight, I gotta cut loose. Footloose.

Mordecai elbows Carrey and the four all chase after the tape.

Kick off your sunday shoes.

Mordecai gets the tape to be tackled by Carl.

Please, Louise. Pull off of my knees.

Mordecai and Carl roll in front of the stage. (Y/n) picks up the tape.

Jack, get back. Come on before we crack.

Carl punches (Y/n) in the face and gets the tape. She puts both hands on her face from the pain and Skips runs after Carl and punches him.

Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose!

A riot breaks out in the restaurant. Muscle Man tears off his shirt and drinks from the gravy pouch.

You're playing so cool.

Muscle Man tackles a man running by

Obeying every rule.

Rigby runs by with the tape with Carrey chasing him

I dig a way down in your heart. You're burning yearning for some. Somebody to tell you. That life ain't passing you by. I'm trying to tell you it will if you don't even try.

Mordecai, Rigby, Carl, and Carrey fight for the tape, and even (Y/n) gets involved to help her friends. Pops punches man charging at him.

You can fly if you'd only cut loose.

Hi Five Ghost punches a man in the face.

Foot loose.

Muscle Man's gravy pouch bursts.

Kick off your Sunday shoes.

Muscle Man squeals and chases the man that punched it.

Oowhee, Marie, shake it, shake it for me.

Carl, (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby fight for the tape. It flies and lands at Benson's feet. Benson picks it up.

Whoa, Milo, c'mon, c'mon let's go.

Carrey punches Benson in the face. "GIMME THAT TAPE!!!!"

Lose, your blues.

"You want it? Fine! Take it, then!" Benson throws the tape at the Carrey O' Key's owner, the tape breaks into pieces. "Everybody cut footloose! Ohhh! Cut footloose! Thank you.

A police siren sounds. Later, outside of Carrey O' Key's, several police cars and ambulances are parked. "Sorry, guys." Mordecai said. "Yeah, sorry." Rigby said. "We didn't mean to ruin your good time." Mordecai said. "No no, I don't want to hear it! I don't know what was on that tape, or why those guys were after it, but I'm gonna get to the bottom of this." He turns pink. "YOU'VE RUINED KARAOKE NIGHT!!!!"

Benson does a doughnut with the golf cart and drives away with Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Pops and Skips. "Yeah uh, I know, that's why we were trying to apologize to you." Mordecai said. (Y/n) turns to them. "Are you guys okay?" She asked. "uh... yeah, we're fine." Rigby said. "What was the deal, tonight? What was so important about that tape?" She asked. The duo look at each other. "Uh... you don't wanna know." Rigby said.
