Performed by Dr. John
Written by Rocco Gagliese, Steve D'Angelo, and Terry Tompkins
Well, Curious George, failing to impress friends with purchased hats, decides to create a lively one, and so he begins with his baseball cap, wrapping yellow poster board around its brim, taping into a tall cylinder, and proceeding to adapt many fun items to entertain friends.
Now, Curious George decides that what his hat needs would be an automatic ice cream dispenser, with hatch upon the brim. At first, this seems like a great idea, but when frozen ice cream suddenly melts, he transforms his fun hat into a raisin dispenser, but the raisins tumble out all too quickly.
Then, Curious George considers adding applications to please friends. Charkie the black Cocker Spaniel enjoys chasing things, so Curious George adds a disk dispenser. Hundley the Doorman's Dachshund enjoys balloons, so Curious George adds a balloon inflater, producing Hundley-shaped balloons. Gnocchi, Chef Pisghetti's pet Cat, enjoys toys and fish, and so Curious George adds a toy fish to wheel around the brim of his fun hat.
And Curious George adds a bubble-maker fan, to please the Man with the Yellow Hat, who marvels at Curious George's invention and remarks that if he could have had a hat like this, then he wouldn't need his Yellow Hat. So, Curious George presents the Man with the Yellow Hat his invention, which the Man with the Fully Automatic Monkey Fun Hat wears to Museum of Science, passing the Doorman, who comments, "Some chapeau!"
But, when the Man with the Fully Automatic Monkey Fun Hat prepares to deliver his important speech about Scientific Method before the panel of Expert Scientists at Museum of Science, the Fully Automatic Monkey Fun Hat becomes the center of attention, dispensing raisins, balls and bubbles, inflating Hundley-shaped balloons, and acting as a toy fish course around its brim.
So, will Curious George manage to arrive at Museum of Science in time to exchange the Yellow Hat with the Man for the Fully Automatic Monkey Fun Hat, as three Expert Scientists become mystified by his invention instead of the Man in the Fully Automatic Monkey Fun Hat's important speech about Scientific Method, by paying attention instead to "The Fully Automatic Monkey Fun Hat?"
-----
Next, in the Country, one warm evening, Curious George fills bird feeder at bedtime, in anticipation of awakening in the morning to the sounds of happy birds, but when he exits the Country residence by morning to investigate the reason for no happy bird chirps, Curious George observes what he understands as bird feathers in the mud below the birdhouse, or at least until Bill the Country Neighbor Boy arrives by bicycle, to explain to Curious George that these appear to be baby opossum tracks, commonly known as baby possum tracks, and then Bill explains the nocturnal habits of animals which sleep by daylight.
Now, how shall we refer to the opossum family here? As "Opossum?" -- or, all right, "Possum." Well, the next night, Curious George keeps a stake out for possum alerts, by watching through kitchen window with sandwich in hand and radio on, as Mr. Quint delivers a broadcast about "Fishermen's Legend at Lake Wannasink Lake" explaining that on the first full moon of every summer, which coincidentally happens tonight, the Country may be filled with mysterious creatures not before seen.
Well, Curious George, indeed, meets Baby Possum, they playing together, so Curious George offers his sandwich and prepares to turn in, but Baby Possum follows Curious George, who tries to direct Baby Possum back to his family, but where does the Possum Family live? Maybe Baby Possum belongs with the birds because he must have consumed last night's birdseed.
Then, as Mr. Quint's continues his radio broadcast, discussing Lake Creature, such as the Fisherman's Legend, Bill, listening in, shivers in his bed, especially after Bill notices something really strange through his window, which turns out to be Curious George's carrying Baby Possum with a bird on Curious George's shoulder.
And then, Curious George carries Baby Possum into Renkins' barn, where an owl frightens Curious George, who hangs onto the cow bell, which alerts Leslie and the Cows to milking time, which frightens both Baby Possum and Curious George, who then discover a firefly, before they awaken Jumpy Squirrel, who sleeps inside a felled hollow log, so Curious George plays dead like Baby Possum, as they learn new things together, such as the fact that raccoons must be nocturnal, too,
But when Mr. Quint broadcasts mention of these strange happenings at Renkins' Farm, panic begins to sweep the Country community, as citizens hide behind their shutters, and as someone activates the motor in Mr. Quint's parked boat, which frightens the raccoons, as well as Tina.
Yet, Curious George continues to parade Baby Possom through town and into a cave, where they discover bats, before they meet a puppy in a dog house, and before they encounter the Possum Family's climbing about the branches of a possum tree.
So, when Sheriff Wint Quint encounters Curious George and escorts him through town in his police vehicle, who will continue to be frightened by Fishermen's Legend Creature, and Strange Creatures of the Night, such as the nocturnal raccoon, owl, bat or possum? And what results could be expected at the bird feeder once the Man with the Yellow Hat awakens Curious George on the morning after "Creatures of the Night?"
