Very Silly Songs!
Encyclopedia
A Very Silly Sing-Along also known as Very Silly Songs is the seventh episode in the VeggieTales
animated series. Released in March 1997, it is the first of several sing-along videos. It features the four Silly Songs with Larry
that had been released to date along with a half dozen others from the first five episodes. It also introduced the popular "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" whose Silly Song appears here for the first time.
After several songs, Larry, yet again misunderstanding the point of the sing-along, introduces the kids to the very 1st VeggieTales home improvement video. Stating he will fix a leaky fixture in the sink and replace it with a new one, "Which will be quite attractive, and last for years to come." But Jimmy Gourd, turned off the water supply in the bathroom and sink, not the kitchen. Thus when Larry begins to screw off the sink fixture, he is blasted into the air by the water flow.
Ever since Mr. Nezzar has given up his obsession with the Bunny, he sings the "New and Improved Bunny Song" which makes Rack Shack and Benny in the background very pleased. Larry introduces his home-viewers to the very first VeggieTales financial success video. Bob comes onscreen and after finally explaining the sing-along theme the video is meant for, Larry seems excited and asks which song to start with at which Bob gives up not wanting to explain that they started already and walks off. Oblivious to Bob's annoyance, Larry repeats his financial success speech to Bob.
The final Silly Song, the only one original to the video, Larry the Cucumber, Pa Grape, and Mr. Lunt are the "infamous band of scallywags: The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything." The entire song consists of nonsensical tales of what each of the Pirates have never done. When Larry makes purely random statements of what he has never done, Pa Grape and Mr. Lunt berate him and say he should sing about "piraty things." Once Pa Grape asks Mr. Lunt for his opinion on whether Larry is making no sense, Mr. Lunt says Pa Grape looks like Cap'n Crunch. After they gainsay each other and Pa Grape sentences Mr. Lunt to walk the plank, Larry sings another verse of nonsense. Pa Grape declares Larry does not understand what they said previously about his singing; they finish the song with the refrain "And we've never been to Boston in the fall." They decide to watch Hiraldo

Synopsis
This episode starts immediately with the counter top, initially skipping the theme song. Larry the Cucumber thinking this is the very first VeggieTales workout video, begins a workout hopping left, right, front, and back in time to generic, upbeat workout music. Then he uses a trampoline for jumping (claiming that if the at-home viewer has no trampoline using an old rug and a pair of slinkies will suffice). However, after jumping progressively higher, he gets hit by the cupboards and Bob comes on-screen, explaining this is actually VeggieTales very first sing along tape. To demonstrate, Bob uses the French Peas helping out by typing on QWERTY the words on the bottom of the screen, which change from green to white when they are sung. But after the demonstration, they type whatever they hear. After the scene degenerates into true chaos, Bob yells, "Roll tape!" and the camera cuts to the traditional theme tune.After several songs, Larry, yet again misunderstanding the point of the sing-along, introduces the kids to the very 1st VeggieTales home improvement video.
