Mel the rooster s boring old cock-a-doodle-doo is making him cock-a-doodle-blue until one day he decides to jazz it up with something brand-new: the cock-a-doodle-doo-bop! But while Mel scats and trumpets away to his revised refrain, the rest of the barnyard isn t getting into the groove. Because they want the sun, and the sun won t rise to Mel s creative interpretation of his standard cock-a-doodle-crow. So the barnyard residents will have to band together and compromise to bring about a fresh day in a fresh way!
