Music is a Season 1 episode in The Mr. Men Show.
Synopsis[]
A tuba playing Mr. Strong shows his softer side; cacophony ensues when Mr. Noisy gets a drum set; and Mr. Happy and Little Miss Sunshine host What Do You Know About Music?.
Plots[]
- Miss Helpful, Mr. Strong and Mr. Bounce's Plot: Miss Helpful teaches Mr. Strong and Mr. Bounce how to play the tuba. But then turns out to be a disaster.
- Mr. Noisy and Mr. Quiet's Plot : Mr. Noisy plays his drums really, really loud. It gives Mr. Quiet a huge headache, causes tons of his china to be destroyed, and prevents him from falling asleep. Soon, Mr. Quiet goes and complains to him but then Mr. Noisy says, "Can you (please) keep it down, Mr. Quiet?! I'm practicing!"
- Musical number (US version only): "The Boogie's Got Me" by Mr. Bounce.
- Mr. Nervous' Plot: Mr. Nervous imagines that he's a fly and hopes to not be eaten by a spider. He is really auditioning for Mr. Tickle's band.
- Mr. Fussy, Miss Naughty and Mr. Rude's Plot: At the Dillydale Theater, Mr. Fussy is conducting a concert by the Dillydale Orchestra. However, Mr. Rude and Miss Naughty keep giving interruptions. Near the end, Miss Naughty put the bubbles on each of the Mr. Men and Little Misses instruments, causing them to float up. Then, Miss Naughty bangs her cymbals to cause the bubbles to pop. The Mr. Men and Little Misses fall down and the water falls on Miss Naughty, causing her to be washed away.
- Mr. Happy, Miss Sunshine, Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Strong and Mr. Scatterbrain's Plot: Mr. Happy and Miss Sunshine host a game show called "What Do You Know About Music?" with the contestants Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Strong and Mr. Scatterbrain. After the last question, Mr. Scatterbrain's monkey, Bunko, attacks the studio and the segment ends.

Trivia[]
- Variations of the theme song were heard throughout the episode.
- It is mentioned (in the UK dub) that Dillydale is a nation, not just a city.
- It is implied that Miss Helpful is tone deaf as she does a poor job teaching Mr. Strong and Mr. Bounce the tuba.
- In the opening, Little Miss Sunshine is parodying the titular musical number from the film The Sound of Music.
- Miss Calamity is clearly not a good singer, as everyone but Mr. Bump runs away. However, Mr. Bump probably likes the music, since he doesn't leave when everyone else flees, and gives a thumbs up. That or he was giving the "I'm OK" sign after a piece of the ceiling fell on him.
- There was no movement when the shot was on the Mr. Men and Little Misses at the theatre.
- The sound and movements on Miss Calamity playing is off:
- When she first played it, she plays it from short to long strings, but the keys are played from deep to high. From a musician's perspective, long strings makes the notes low, while short strings make them high.
- Her hand gestures from the second time are reused cycles, so they don't match up the notes.
- It seems that Little Miss Naughty poured bubble soap in all of the other instruments, even though the scene only showed her only doing Mr. Rude's.
- Despite Mr. Rude struggling to blow the tuba when it was filled with bubble soap, it still would've made a gargling sound.
- This marks the only time where Mr. Tickle wakes up Mr. Nervous from his daydream.
- Mr. Tickle says "That man really needs a tickle.", The audio used in Science is heard in the US version.
Dub edits[]
- In the US version of What Do You Know About Music?, Mr. Grumpy snidely comments on Little Miss Sunshine's performance, which is counted as an incorrect answer, while in the UK dub, he incorrectly guesses the national anthem of Dillydale.
- When Mr. Noisy says "Can you please keep it down, Mr. Quiet? I'm practicing!" he says "please", which is omitted in the UK.
- Although The Boogie's Got Me is deleted, it can be found on a DVD, which is sung by Mr. Nervous rather that Mr. Bounce.
Goofs[]
- The description on the official YouTube channel states "Little Miss Whoops and Mr. Bump make not-so-sweet music together", despite there being no such segment and Little Miss Whoops only appearing in the episode in a reused scene transition.
- Little Miss Calamity's harp is shown blowing bubbles, which would be unlikely as most the other instruments are ones that can be blown, while hers is only one aside from Miss Naughty's that is not pipe-based.
