the sights & sounds in this episode
|
|
Gordo
is into lounge music, which was a big hit in the
late 1950s & the early 1960s. To Lizzie, this
is music for her great grandfather, not for normal
people like herself.
When
everybody at school decides Gordo's new passion
in the oldies is the next "in" thing to jump on,
he decides not to be a part of the new fad.
Lizzie
can't figure out why Gordo always wants to be
different, and why he won't just do what normal
people do.

Lizzie
picks up a new Rat Pack CD for Gordo, and tells
others she doesn't listen to that kind of music.
When others say it's cool stuff, she tells them
she's an expert in it.
The
school's Dance Committee decides to make the month's
dance a Rat Pack theme. They ask Lizzie the expert
to come up with a list of the songs the DJ should
play during the dance. She says no problem.
The
problem is: She doesn't have any idea what those
songs are. She also fears that Gordo's not going
to be too crazy about helping her.

| Miranda |
|
Miranda
tells Gordo to stop talking like people in Las
Vegas in 1960. Then she talks like that to show
she's an expert in lounge culture.
The
Dance Committee will have a costume contest in
Friday's dance, and asks Miranda for a list of
the kind of outfits the judges should be looking
for.
Together
with Lizzie, she asks Gordo for a list of twenty
Frank Sinatra tunes, pictures of the clothes people
wore back in those years, and the Rat Pack's favourite
food. Gordo tells Miranda & Lizzie they are the
big Rat Pack fans, and they should know.

| Gordo |
|
When
everybody wants to be seen listening to Frank
Sinatra & the Rat Pack, Gordo decides to move
on to a new hobby: model airplanes.
He
says he's not a superficial popularity-junkie
or just another mindless trend-oids following
the herd. He's his own person, he makes up his
own mind, and he does things his own way.
Then
he turns up at the dance wearing a lounge suit,
a hat tilted on his head, & a raincoat over his
shoulders. And, he goes swinging on the dance
floor with Lizzie, who feels she's flying in the
sky.

| Kate |
|
Kate
& the Dance Committee want Friday's dance to have
a Rat Pack theme, and to be officially called
Loungin' Around. She wants a really "lounge" event,
completed with lounge music, lounge costumes,
and lounge cocktails.
Lizzie
thinks Little Miss Popular should get down on
her knees and beg if she wants their help to make
the dance a success.
Gordo
thinks that there's nothing stupider than a Rat
Pack Dance, and now that Kate likes the lounge
stuff, it's officially a mindless fad.

| Ethan |
|
Ethan
decides what's cool stuff.
To
Lizzie, Ethan is totally hot. She's excited to
finally get a chance to talk to him. When she
talks to him, her heart pounds in her chest.
To
Miranda, it's also exciting to have Ethan noticing
them and believing that they're experts in the
"coolsville" lounge music.

| Matt,
Jo & Sam |
|
Matt
& his new friend Lanny want to set a world record
in something. They try everything, and still they've
got nothing.
Jo
tells them there is no record of failed attempts
to set world records, and since they have failed
many times to set a world record, perhaps they
can set a world record in making failed attempts
to set world records.
