Okay, Gunther, you ready for the show to begin?

♪ If you gunted them, would you even care? ♪

♪ Gunther

♪ Do you even love me?

Wenk!

It's rhetorical, Gunther.

Marceline's songs are so good.

Hmm.

Maybe I can get Marceline to write a song with me.

Man, if she helped me write a song like that,

I'd be crushing it non-stop with the princesses.

Oh, yeah!

[ coughing ]

[ chuckles ]

Gunther, you cute little dummy.

You know, Gunther, my song is gonna need

some dope lyrics to lure the honeys in.

Hmm, hmm.

Hmm.

Jay T. Dawgzone always says,

"Ladies are drawn to bros with tortured pasts."

and I've got a way tortured past!

I think.

I don't really re--

Um...

Quickly, Gunther.

To the "The Past" room!

[ whistling ]

Ah, yes.

Lot of emotionally powerful stuff in here.

[ sniffing ]

Still wet with tears.

I'll take some of these for lyrical inspiration.

So, where's Marceline living these days?

Wenk.

A cave?

Pbht!

Well, well, well.

Looks like Ice King is up to bad biscuits, brother.

Bad biscuits make the baker broke, bro.

Ice King, you make our job too easy.

You ready to roll on this fool?

Dinner roll!

Hello!

Anybody home?

No.

What are you doing here?

I told you not to come around me.

[ laughs ]

Yeah, I know, but I was hoping you could help me write a song.

One that could help me get some princess action.

I'm not going to help you pick up on chicks!

Come on!

We can be a prog-rock duo!

I'll even split the fans with you.

I get the princesses, and you get...

whatever it is you're into.

Sounds good, yeah, I think it does.

Hyup!

[ laughs ]

Hey!

Get out of here!

Wait!

Just let me play you what I've written so far.

Oh, dang it.

Tangles in the cord.

Sometimes this happens when you fly with it.

The tangles are hard.

Oh.

[ grunting ]

Oh.

Oh, geez, no.

Oh, no.

Ice King's in trouble.

[ grunting ]

Hey, you know what? I'll just hum it for you.

[ humming ]

Is that good?

BOTH: Ice King!

Wha?

Oh, you got him.

Nice job, Marceline.

[ as Batman ] Your constant harassment of the female gender

makes me sick.

No, he can stay.

BOTH: Wha?

Yeah, wha?

It's all right.

We're working on a song together.

You don't want us to...

for you?

Nah, it's okay, you guys can go.

Okay.

Well, I guess we'll see you, then.

Bye.

Bye.

You know, I kind of like being tied up in these cords.

Kind of freaky!

[ electricity buzzes ]

So what kind of song are we playing?

Oh, I brought these for some inspiration.

Just use these to work off of --

you know, a template.

Okay...

Yeah, yeah, that's good.

Keep doing that.
