Plot

As Lisa gets kicked out of class by Dewey Largo, she goes on the street, where Sideshow Mel and Lindsey Naegle are watching, enjoying her music, but, after Ralph comes out with a tuba stuck on his head, Largo tells Lisa she should quit playing her saxophone, making her cry and trying to make her give up on her dream.

At the school playground, Bart makes a prank on Jimbo but is caught by Kearney and Dolph, so they dress him as Little Orphan Annie and they make him sing at the cafeteria, while kids start throwing food at him.
