Well, all right. Let's go.

Aw, I almost forgot. To make the clubhouse appear we get to say the magic words: Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse. Say it with me. Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse.

[horn blowing]

Welcome to the clubhouse. It's swell to see you again. Hey, uh, where's Pluto?

Ooh. Ohh.

Good to see you, pal.

[melodic beeping]

Hear that? Why that's the Picture Puzzle. Come on everybody. Let's go see what it is today.

♪ Picture puzzle, picture puzzle ♪

♪ Picture this ♪♪

Hmm. Does this picture look right?

- Uh-uh.

- Nope. We'd better try again.

♪ Picture puzzle, picture puzzle ♪

♪ Picture that ♪♪

Hmm. Now does the picture look right? You bet. It's a Dancing Elephant.

[barking]

♪ You got the picture ♪♪

[chuckling]

Yippee.

Say, that elephant reminds me, today's the Mickey Park Polka Palooza Dance Festival. The elephants are going to dance at the Band Shell. And they're going to perform the  Pachyderm Polka. "Pachyderm" is another word for elephant.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And here's the best part. All of our friends are going to play the music for the elephants to dance to.

[doorbell rings]

- Hi, Mickey.

- Hi-ya, Pluto.

Let's get on with the show.

Just one thing. Will you help us practice our music for today's dance festival?

Aw, you will?

Hot dog. Then let's go to the Mousekedoer and get our Mouseketools.

[ Mickey] A bicycle pump. Fun.

A clothespin. Now that's snappy.

A rocket ship. Wow, what a blast.

And the mystery Mouseketool.

That's a surprise tool that can help us later.

See you later, Toodles.

Now that we've got our Mouseketools, let's make music.

This looks like a swell spot to practice our music.

[whistling]

Why, thank you, Handy Helper. I love my piano.

I'll be on the xylophone.

Come on tromboney, it's time to play.

- [playing trombone] - Oh, boy. My ukulele.

A ukulele's like a guitar, only smaller.

[tuba playing loudly]

[laughing]

I got a tuba.

[playing tuba]

[howling]

Everybody ready? Let's practice.

It's the  Pachyderm Polka.

Uh, Mickey? Don't you think our band should have a name?

Well, there's six of us.

So I think we should call our band "The Sensational Six".

Six? But Pluto can't play.

Huh?

Yoo-hoo. Dancing Elephants. We're ready to practice now.

OK then, Sensational Six, here we go.

And a one, and a two, and a one-two-three.

[unharmonious tune]

[howling]

Gosh, the Sensational Six

doesn't sound so, uh, sensational.

Well, you're right, Goofy. And I think I know why.

My ukulele strings are out of tune.

My xylophone's falling apart.

My tromboney slide is stuck.

And my piano doesn't sound good at all.

Well, my tuba is terrific.

[plays out of tune note]

Hmm. It looks like we need to fix a few things around here.

We don't have much time, everybody,

so we better fix our instruments and start practicing.

Well, to fix my xylophone we have to put the bars back on.

But I'm not sure what order to put them in.

Red-yellow-blue-green? Blue-green-yellow-red?

There are so many different ways they could go.

Gosh. Color me confused.

Why look. The bars are in a pattern.

They go green, blue, yellow, red.

Yep. They go green, blue, yellow, red again.

That's a pattern all right.

We need to put the broken bars back in the same pattern

so Daisy can play the right notes.

What color bar should we put down first?

You got it. Green it is.

What color bar goes next?

Very good. The blue one.

What's next?

Yep. Yellow.

And that leaves the red bar.

Aw, look. Pluto wants to play, too.

I wish he could do something for the band.

[barking]

Gosh. A tromboney slide

is supposed to slide back and forth, like this.

♪ Wah, wah, wah ♪♪

But mine's stuck.

What good is a tromboney slide that won't slide?

- [Goofy screaming] - [crashing]

It's OK, everybody. My tromboney's unstuck.

But now something else is stuck.

Me.

Goofy, don't worry. We'll get you out.

We're going to have to try something else.

Well, uh, maybe you could blow some tromboney notes.

The air might push me out.

Hmm. Well, it's worth a try.

[blowing]

[panting]

We need a way to blow even more air into the trombone to push Goofy out.

This looks like a job for a Mouseketool.

Everybody say, "Oh, Toodles".

♪ Oh Toodles ♪♪

[Mickey] We've got a bicycle pump, a clothespin,

a rocket ship and the mystery Mouseketool.

Which Mouseketool could we use

to blow enough air to push Goofy out of his trombone?

[Goofy] A bicycle pump pumps air, right?

[Mickey] Uh-huh. So a bicycle pump might work out just fine.

We got ears, say "cheers!"

Pump that pump, Mickey.

Ten pumps ought to do the trick.

Come on everybody, count with me while I pump ten times.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven,

eight,

nine, ten.

[Goofy whooping]

Yikes.

Whoa.

Thanks. I'm so glad that ended on a happy note.

Oh my, oh my, oh my.

Everything I try to play on my piano just comes out all wrong.

[Donald] Oh. Numbers.

Wow. You're right, Donald.

There are numbers on every key.

Are the numbers in the right order?

No, they aren't.

Well, I bet if they were,

Minnie's pianer would play just fine.

You know your numbers really well.

So, will you help us put the numbers in the right order?

You will? Aw, thanks.

I'll say the numbers and when I come to a number that's not in the right order,

you say "stop."

One... two... four...

[Donald] Stop.

Donald's right. Four doesn't come after two.

Let's take out that four.

Now what number should come after two?

That's right. Three.

So I'll move the number three key where it should be.

But what should I do with the number four key?

Yep. I'll put it right after three.

Now let's count again.

Say "stop" when you hear a number that's out of order.

One... two... three...

four... five... seven...

[Donald] Stop.

Donald's right. Seven doesn't come after five.

What number does come after five?

That's right, six.

[Mickey] I'll just take the seven and six and trade places.

Now let's see if we got it right.

One... two... three...

four... five... six...

seven... eight.

[playing tuba]

- How's your tuba doing, Donald? - My tuba's fine.

[playing note]

But my sheet music blows away.

No kidding.

I think it's time for a Mouseketool.

Everybody say, "Oh, Toodles".

Oh, Toodles.

[Mickey] Let's see, there's a clothespin, a rocket ship,

and the mystery Mouseketool.

Do you think a rocket ship can keep Donald's sheet music from blowing away?

[Daisy] Oh, no. That wouldn't be good at all.

But I bet the clothespin could do the trick.

[Mickey] We got ears, say "cheers!"

There, Donald. With this clothespin,

your music won't blow away anymore.

[playing tune]

Ah. Much better.

- [whimpers] - Oh, Pluto.

Are you feeling left out?

[playing notes]

Gee, that last string doesn't sound right, does it?

[plucking discordant string]

Uh-uh.

Why I know how to change the sound of the string.

I just turn this knob.

But I'm not sure what it should sound like.

- Should it sound like this? - [plucks string]

- Or like this? - [plucks string]

- Or like this? - [plucks string]

Hmm. I'll betcha one of them Mousekedoodles can help us.

Bet you're right Goofy.

Everybody say, "Oh, Toodles".

Oh, Toodles.

[Mickey] Let's see,

we have a rocket ship and the mystery Mouseketool.

I don't see how a rocket ship can help us.

[Daisy] It's time for the mystery Mouseketool if you ask me.

[Mickey] You got it, Daisy.

And the mystery Mouseketool is...

Oh boy. A pitch pipe.

A pitch pipe plays the notes that the strings of my ukulele should sound like.

And that's just what we need. We got ears, say "cheers!"

This note is what Mickey's bad string should sound like.

- [plays note] - [plucks string]

See? My string doesn't sound right at all.

Does it sound too high or too low?

- [pitch pipe playing note] - [plucks string]

Yep, it sounds too low.

So, I'll make it sound higher by turning this knob.

[plucks string]

[plucks string]

[plucks string]

Sounds like the pitch pipe's note to me. How about you?

- [plays note] - [plucks string]

Do they sound the same?

They sure do. Hot dog.

All our instruments are fixed.

And we still have time to practice.

Places, everybody.

Let's take it from the top. And a one, and a two and a...

[playing unharmonious song]

[howling]

Hold it. Hold it. Stop the music.

I don't understand. We fixed all our instruments.

I think the problem is that we're not playing together.

Together? But we were all playing at the same time, weren't we?

Oh, Goofy.

Playing together means

that we all follow the same beat at the same time.

Like this. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Oh, I see.

I was playing too fast like this.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

And I was doing it like this.

One, two, three... four. One, two... three, four.

That's it. Our music won't sound right

until we all follow the same beat. Here we go.

Clap with me, everybody. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Aw, phooey. Play this way.

[plays tune]

Donald. You're not helping, you're just playing louder.

[howling]

[whimpering]

Aw, Pluto. You can't help it. You have sensitive ears.

Just like me.

You're a good dog, pal. A very good dog.

Look at Pluto's tail, everybody.

It's a-wagging. That means he's a happy doggy.

It's wagging to a perfect polka beat. Watch.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Come on, everybody. Clap with us.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

You know, if we all follow Pluto's tail for the Polka rhythm,

we'll be playing together. Come on, everybody, let's try it.

Remember, follow Pluto's tail.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Mickey. Where are you?

The Mickey Park Polka Palooza Dance Festival is starting without you.

We need you on stage. Now.

We're on our way.

Listen everybody. We need a Mouseketool quick.

Everybody say, "Oh, Toodles".

Oh, Toodles.

Only the rocket ship is left. Do you think...?

[all] Yes!

[Mickey] We picked all our Mouseketools.

Everybody say, "super cheers!"

All right, everybody. Buckle up. It's time to blast off.

And now Clarabelle Cow Productions is proud to present,

for the very first time on this stage,

the Dancing Elephants performing their fabulous  Pachyderm Polka.

With music by the Sensational Six.

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Oh yeah, I love those guys.

Yeah. Woo-hoo!

Are you ready to clap to the beat of Pluto's tail?

Take it away, maestro. A one, two, three, four.

[Mickey] Do you remember what was wrong with Minnie's eight piano keys?

They were all out of order.

[Minnie] They went one, two, four, three,

five, seven, six, eight.

So when we put them in the right order,

how did the numbers go then?

[Mickey] One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Right. See you real soon.
