Harvey confused about the name, Shoyu Weenie.

Harvey is often confused about the band's name, Shoyu Weenie.



Reducto's obsession with Gail Melody's tiny tiny feet.

Reducto has an unhealthy obsession with Dr. Gail Melody's tiny feet.

A Japanese pop band, known as "Shoyu Weenie", accuses the American rock band, "Jabberjaw & The Neptunes", of stealing their song "Mochi Mochi" and calling it "Lovey Lovey." Shoyu Weenie go to Harvey for legal council and, after a deal is struck by the fluently Japanese speaking Peanut, they are off to court.

Reducto makes yet another appearance defending the American band and has a key witness, Gail Melody, a "ravishing raven-haired musicologist with tiny, tiny feet." This is the first time we meet Judge Mentok the Mindtaker, a green skinned psychic who prides himself on grand entrances and showing off his skills at taking minds.

Through many many minutes of gripping witness examination, when all seems lost for Harvey and the Shoyu Weenie band, Peanut presents some rather unusual evidence. He plays the two similar songs as seen on a karaoke prompter, and Judge Mentok, in all of his wisdom, concludes they are the same song and rules in favor of Harvey's clients.

Back at Harvey's office, the gang is celebrating victory when Avenger turns on the television and to everyone's dismay, a music video of the German band "Tschus Tschus" playing a song that sounds exactly like Shoyu Weenie's "Moochi Moochi."

Sigh.

MENTOK-
"We don't borrow, we don't read, we don't rent, we don't lease, we TAKE the mind."

"Seiko Morimoto. Hmm... before we begin let me ask you, SEIKO: Do you have the time?"

PHIL-
"Hey lady, I need a yank. Ha ha ha! Dislocation."

OooooOOOOooeeeEEE!
