* DreadfulMusician: Since Floyd is playing vibes in "Lullaby of Birdland", the band needs someone to play bass. Fozzie says he's found the perfect bass player. It turns out to be Don, who's anything but the perfect bass player—he first tries playing the bass with a bow instead of plucking it, and then has trouble playing in a fast enough tempo.
