In this quirky animated comedy by cult cartoonist Bill Plympton, Del is a young songwriter, working for the bossy Mr. Mega, who must come up with a hit or face losing his job. Hoping to stay employed and close to the object of his affections, Didi, who happens to be Mega's assistant, Del sets out in search of musical inspiration and ends up in the strange town of Flooby Nooby. Will the odd denizens of the strange hamlet help him to create his all-important snappy tune?
