Furry Flats

The Furry Flats is a puffle band started by Scooter, Xavier, Clyde, and Danny. It is almost as famous as the Penguin Band.

Members

 * Scooter--He is the life-long percussionist of the band, along with Barkjon. He replaced Shadow in the band's early years when Shadow left the band due to missions.
 * Xavier--Xavier usually plays the bass string section in the band (i.e. bass guitar, bass electric guitar). He enjoys concerts more than anyone else.
 * Clyde--Even in concerts this little rascal goofs off. Clyde can be found singing, or playing a miscellaneous instrument.
 * Danny--Danny is the natural leader of the band. He instructs the band during practice and plays on the synthesizer, electric guitar, or electric violin.
 * Explorer 767-- Is the lead singer and plays the electric guitar.
 * Fred 676-- Is the backup singer.
 * Penghis Khan--After threatening the band with a fish, they allowed the "emperor" of Pengolia to join. He plays the gong (really badly). Danny and Clyde solved this problem by not telling Penghis when and where the band would practice. They have a backup plan too: if Penghis Khan somehow discovers the band's location, he gets to perform in "the magic musical enhancing box of wonder", though in reality, it is soundproof glass. This way, Penghis Khan thinks that he is playing the gong, but no one hears him. Interestingly, Explorer 767 seems to have hearing good enough to hear the gong through the box, and he always asks for Khan's autograph. In contrast, Mabel thinks he is the worst gong musician ever, but wonders why she can't hear him.
 * Barkjon-- took over drums from Scooter when Scooter fell off a boat into the ocean and went into a coma. Actually did great for a flightless bird with only two usable limbs. When Scooter recovered, they both became the co-percussionists of the band.

Songs
The band normally does not compose their own songs. They play various songs from different albums. A list is shown below.


 * Subway by Tim Hawkins--[] Danny plays guitar, Xavier plays bass electric guitar, Clyde plays synth, and Explorer and Fred sing.
 * Fire Ants by Tim Hawkins--[] Danny plays piano and bass electric guitar, Xavier plays cello, Clyde plays trumpet, and Explorer plays electric guitar.
 * My Name's Bob[] by Tim Hawkins-- dedicated to this guy. Danny plays guitar, Xavier plays bass electric guitar, and Clyde plays the electric guitar. Also the first time Scooter sings.
 * Cletus Take the Reel by Tim Hawkins[]-- Danny plays violin, Xavier the guitar, and Clyde plays the piano.
 * Smells like Birthday Cake by Tim Hawkins[]-- dedicated to Scooter, in honor of his 1st birthday! Zippy replaces Scooter as percussionist, Xavier plays bass electric guitar, Danny plays electric guitar, Clyde plays synth, and Explorer sings.
 * Irritating by Tim Hawkins[]-- dedicated to Mabel (there's an obvious reason). Danny plays electric guitar, Xavier plays guitar, Mabel sings a minor part, and Explorer, Clyde, and Fred sing the major part.
 * Wizards in Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra--[] Explorer 767 and Happyface141 play bass electric guitar, Fred plays the piano, Clyde plays synth, Barkjon plays drums, Xavier plays cello, Danny plays electric violin, and 24Keyser plays violin.
 * Goofy Goober Rock by Spongebob Squarepants-- Explorer receives a guitar solo in this piece. What makes it unique is that the guitar utilized has two extensions holding the strings instead of one. Think of two guitars fused together. Two sets of strings, two hollow amplification units, double the note range, and a really large amplifier.
 * The Best Day Ever by Spongebob Squarepants
 * Gary's Song by Spongebob Squarepants
 * Mike Teavee Song by the Oompa-Loompas-- Extra performers include Aunt Arctic and the Penguin Band. Napoley Bonapart sings in the section where the rock band plays (he hates the television). Surprisingly, he sounds like an Italian Opera singer.
 * The Elements Song by Tom Lehrer-- Fred sings in a typical geek-voice, Explorer plays a solo on the piano, and Scooter sets the beat with a bass drum. The rest of the band search in G's stores for the corresponding elements that Fred sings out. A running gag is that the two Snell-Libros trail behind the band, eating all of the radioactive elements (e.g. uranium, plutonium, radium, etc.).


 * Canon Rock by JerryC-- Explorer is very skilled at playing this piece on the electric guitar. Barkjon replaces Scooter as percussionist, Xavier plays cello, and Danny plays synthesizer.
 * Bad Day by Daniel Powter -- Happyface141 sings, Danny and Xavier play the piano, and Clyde and Fred play synth. Dedicated to Mabel.
 * Stay Strong by the Newsboys--[] Danny plays the piano, Clyde plays synth, Xavier plays guitar, and Explorer and Fred sing.


 * Card-Jitsu Theme by Club Penguin Music Co.-- This is the "danger" theme from the mini game Card-Jitsu. A running gag in Explorer's Card-Jitsu games is that he plays the theme directly from his icePhone. Penghis Khan plays gongs, Xavier plays double bass, Clyde plays tuba, Scooter plays wood blocks, Explorer plays the viola, Fred plays cello, Danny, Happyface, Barkjon, and 24Keyser play violins, and Zippy occasionally plays the flute.

Annoying Sounds
This album was made up to annoy Mabel. It has since become the #1 "album" on the charts.

Tracks:
 * Cacophony-- The entire band plays their instruments, but in a very unorderly fashion.
 * Canon In G Major-- This is a recording of the band's earlier perfomance of "Canon Rock", but subject to the popular Internet meme "In G Major".
 * Boogie Wonderland With A Layer Added Every Second-- "Boogie Wonderland" subject to the popular Internet meme "... with a layer added every second."
 * Happyface141 Whacks Mabel With An Electric Guitar While We Play Unfitting Music-- The band plays "Allstar" by Smash Mouth while Happyface chases Mabel around the studio.
 * Bong, the World is Saved!-- Xavier and Danny play bass and treble parts on a synthesizer (respectively), Penghis Khan plays the gong, and the rest of the band shouts, "THE WORLD IS SAVED!!!" This has been used as the opening for the band's concert tours, except that they shout "DOOHICKEY!" instead.
 * Squeeze Them Bagpipes! (known as "THX Bagpipe Remix" in Freezeland and the Kingdom of Happyface141)-- Guest starring Winston in a solo, where he "hugs" a single bagpipe several times. The band was out for coffee, and when they got back, they used an audio editing program to change the pitch and timing of the bagpipe sounds. The result: a series of bagpipe sounds that culminates into the THX Deep Note audio logo. The track was recalled because it blew up most stereos and DJ2Ks.

Seasonal Goofs
This is the second album by the band. It is a rock version of "The Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi. Xavier plays cello, Danny and 24Keyser play the electric violin, Explorer and Fred play lead and bass electric guitars (respectively), and Clyde plays synth. Tracks:
 * 1) Spring
 * 2) Summer
 * 3) Autumn
 * 4) Winter

Trinitrotoluene
This is the third album released by the band.

Tracks:


 * 1) Trinitrotoluene -- In this song, Explorer and Fred sing about how TNT is quite useful while the band plays a jazzy tune. Danny plays the piano, Scooter and Barkjon play the drums, Clyde plays the saxophone, and Xavier plays the bass electric guitar.


 * 1) Static Sonnets -- This track is the only one so far that the band does not actually play. Instead, it features the monotonous, steady crackle of radio static. Using audio editing programs, the band changed the pitch of the static so that in the final recording, it would seem like the static is "humming" a tune. In the climax of the "song", there seems to be an orchestra of static that hums the Promenade from "Pictures At An Exhibition". This track went Multi-Platinum in just one week.


 * 1) Trigonometry Is A Trifle -- In this song, Fred describes the reasons why math is so easy for him. The band has the same intruments from the "TNT" song, except that Explorer plays a duet with Danny on the piano.


 * 1) How'd This Track Get Here? -- This track can only be played if you press the play, stop, fast forward, and rewind buttons simultaneously at 3 minutes and 14.16 seconds, just when the song "Trigonometry" is about to end. In this track, Explorer and Fred speculate on how the secret track made it into the album, their "explanations" getting more and more far-fetched as the song progresses. Happyface, Barkjon, and Danny play the electric guitar, Clyde plays synth, and Xavier plays the bass electric guitar.

Extras
Sometimes the band needs more musicians to play. Here are a list of extras.
 * Mabel-- When the band needs another pianist, Mabel will always (reluctantly) sign up. Mabel is frequently hit by Happyface141 with his guitar.
 * Zippy-- Zippy is excellent with any woodwind intrument. She is also skilled at the xylophone.
 * Happyface141-- Plays electric guitar and whacks Mabel with it frequently. Also part of the technical crew. he was let in because he made the logo.
 * Barkjon-- Did such a great job substituting for Scooter that Clyde made him the secondary percussionist and main drummer. Enjoys annoying Mabel, if she's there.
