Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Far far into space in a magical place
There's a big celebration
What a hullabaloo on the planet, Kazoo
It's the Eggs' graduation
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Benedict, and Yolky, and Scramble, and Sunny
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Across the looneyverse
There's a problem with Min
Sending Shelly into a galactical spin
We'll keep singing and laughing together
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Come along everyone
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
And we're having fun
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Finding sounds and adventures on a musical journey
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Far far into space in a magical place
There's a big celebration
What a hullabaloo on the planet, Kazoo
It's the Eggs' graduation
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Benedict, and Yolky, and Scramble, and Sunny
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Across the looneyverse
There's a problem with Min
Sending Shelly into a galactical spin
We'll keep singing and laughing together
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Come along everyone
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
And we're having fun
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
Finding sounds and adventures on a musical journey
Yeah, yeah we're the Eggs
—Theme song from the TV show.
The Eggs is a 2004-2005 Australian/Canadian animated series that was broadcast on Australia's Channel Nine until 2009. It stars four eggs from the planet Kazoo, each with a pun for their name - Benedict (Ben or Benny for short), Yolky, Scramble, and Sunnyside (Sunny for short). They travel the Looneyverse in search for new music sounds aboard an egg-shaped spaceship named Shelly with internal robotic equipment.
This show provides examples of:
- Automated Automobile: Shelly is a self-piloted spaceship with a talking screen.
- Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": In one episode, Shelly gets filled with 'Peanuts', which are actually pink balls of fluff with faces. The only thing they have roughly in common with actual peanuts is their size.
- Mirror Self: The Anti-Eggs, who are the punkish-looking violet versions of the Eggs in another Looneyverse.
- The Napoleon: Yolky is slightly smaller than the others (you might not notice, but they sure do), but she sure can have a fiery temper.
- Planet of the Week: Almost every episode takes place somewhere new in space.
- Punny Name: The four eggs themselves, alongside Shelly and their hovering robot Eggor.
- Sentient Vehicle: Shelly's concept plays with this - she doesn't have a face on the front, but she has a robotic interface inside her that can talk to her passengers.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: When the eggs first meet Tee Hee on Planet Jollywood, she resembles a stereotypical cavewoman, wearing a bone in her hair, and a leopard-like skin on her body. However, before Tee Hee marries King Ha Ha and becomes queen, Sunnyside gives her a makeover and gives her a beautiful purple dress and matching turban, leaving her nearly unrecognisable as what she was before. Once she has been changed, her head also somehow becomes rounder, which begs a little more explanation...
- Space Romans: Planets based on real-world historical periods have been seen, such as Jollywood (inspired by medieval Europe) and Wailing World (inspired by the Wild West).
- Team Mom: Not only is Shelly the Eggs' mode of transportation, she also helps them out when they need and even says goodnight to them. She also has a dislike of bugs and messiness.
