Taking their cue from the book "There's Loot in Lyrics," Fred and Barney pen a song with the help of a scammer who plagiarizes Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust". When they unwittingly play this song for Hoagy and his agent, the agent throws them out of his office, but Hoagy forgives the two and after finding a poem Barney wrote, he puts the poem to music and invites the Flintstones and Rubbles to a special dinner where the song is performed. Daws Butler is the voice of Barney on this episode and in Season 2 episodes 2, 5, 6, and 9 (series episodes 30, 33, 34, and 37). Special guest-star Hoagy Carmichael appears as himself and actually wrote the song "Yabba-Dabba-Dabba-Dabba-Doo" for this episode.

Famous quotes containing the word season:

    Methoughts a legion of foul fiends
    Environed me, and howled in mine ears
    Such hideous cries that with the very noise
    I trembling waked, and for a season after
    Could not believe but that I was in hell,
    Such terrible impression made my dream.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
