comment
Happy Monster Band is a show that aired on Playhouse Disney about... a happy monster band.The band consists of four members: Frred, the band's vocal output; L.O., who plays bass guitar; Ink, the drummer and the only female in the band; and Bluz, the keyboardist. The band's performances are introduced by Roc and Raoul, a purple two-headed monster who speak in rhyme when they aren't backstage. In each episode, the monsters learn an aesop and work it into a song they sing in that episode.Oh yeah, and the show's songs are performed by Tally Hall.note Well, unless you happen to be watching the British English dub, where all of the band's singing voices are changed. Yes, really.The show aired in 20 five-minute-long episodes spread over two seasons from 2007 to 2008.

Heroic BSoD: Happens to Frred in "Even Monsters Cry Sometimes". He holds in his tears due to his father getting a flat tyre, and being unable to attend the concert. The other monsters notice he's trying to hold it in, and they tell him that it's okay to cry. He then breaks into tears afterwards.

comment
Strictly Formula: Every Season 1 episode goes as follows: Roc and Raoul introduce themselves to the audience, then they go backstage to see what the band is up to. Whatever is happening backstage predicts what the song the band sings in that episode will be about. Roc and Raoul then introduce the band, after which the band sings their song. After the song is over, three judges give their opinions on the band's performance. Cue end of episode.

Punny Name: All of the band members have names that reflect what color they are (Frred = red, L.O. = yellow, Ink = pink, and Bluz = blue). Roc and Raoul's names are an obvious pun on "rock and roll". As well as the judges La, Dee and Da.

Singing Voice Dissonance
 Happy Monster Band / int_9c5ed17
comment
Singing Voice Dissonance: Thanks to the band's singing voices being provided by Tally Hall, the monsters' voices sound noticeably deeper and more adultlike when they are singing, which sound nothing like their age. Averted in the British English dub, where the characters' singing voices are changed and sound a lot more like their speaking voices.
