Plot Summary
[]

Rick Snork has his show going on, and everyone is there. Allstar tries getting him to play Tooter's music, and it works, and soon everyone is after Tooter and wanting his autograph. Before a snork would even know it, a concert is being held for Tooter, and he's the main headliner! But then a piperfish plays a wonderous melody, and it causes Occy to be sucked inside. Everyone tries going backstage once Tooter gets in, but they are also sucked in by the piperfish's music, the only one not being Daffney because she has headphones in her ears.

Tooter comes out, dressed as Michael Jackson, but he gets disappointed because no one else is there but Daffney. All the snorks are now in the piperfish's belly, and Dr. Gallio reunites with Rip Van Snork, an old classmate of his who has been stuck in there for 20 years. He's tried everything to get out, even blowing a huge bubble, but nothing has worked. Then Allstar suggests they all blow a huge bubble to give the piperfish a bellyache. This works at first, but the music plays again. Even Daffney loses her headphones and gets sucked in. However, Tooter plays his music to power out the piperfish's tune, and pretty soon everyone blows a big enough bubble to free themselves. Everyone thanks Tooter for his efforts, and he's relieved fame is no longer a thing for him to concern over, as everyone is now after Junior
