A Pup Named Scooby-Doo - S02E03 - The Spirit of Rock 'n' Roll

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo - The Spirit of Rock 'n' Roll

Season 2, Episode 3

Premiered September 23, 1989

Quickly

The gang deals with the ghost of a rock star.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

The gang goes to see Bud Chillner in concert. Bud Chillner plays a keytar that sounds like a guitar. We find out Daphne gets over $27,000 per week in allowance. Also, she bought out the concert. Kind of a stinky way to show her passion. I imagine it would kind of stink to play a concert to five people. Also, he's not going to make any money off merchandise. Before the concert starts, the show is attacked by the ghost of Purvis Parker, a rock legend. 

The investigation leads to Parker Place, the former home of Purvis Parker. The place hasn't been doing much business since Buddy supplanted Parker in the public's affection. Purvis is based off Elvis including having impersonators and the pink Cadillac.

The episode runs like a New Scooby-Doo Movie with Buddy tagging along on the investigation. They go to Purvis's Secret Vault and find all of the gold records are not gold. Buddy separates from the gang when the ghost abducts him.

Velma creates a plan to capture the ghost. It fails when Daphne says the codeword too early and the entire gang aside from Scooby gets trapped. Scooby takes a leaf from Marty's playbook and throws him back with amplified sound.

The interrupting newscaster does a good announcement. He announces how to beat boredom and it works outside of the story.

The gang find Purvis Parker. The gang unmask ghost Purvis as Dilton, the guy that ran Parker Place.
