Nothing scares you more doing sound for a dance competition than pressing play and seeing the dancer not move right away.

Is it the wrong song? We’ll find out soon!

I can't find the clip but you remind me of the Simpsons where Homer is a stage manager parent and Lisa encounters an uncooperative lighting technician during an audition

*Harsh red spotlight snaps on*
*Lisa flinches*

Lisa: excuse me red's not my best color, can I have something softer?

PA voice: sorry honey red's all we got

*Homer goes to the booth*
Hey you can't come in here?!
*door clicks shut*
*muffled sounds of violence*

*Red spotlight fades out, replaced by soft blue*

@DenOfEarth ha! I’ve never seen that one. I love it though.
Lisa has a hidden talent in singing [The Simpsons]

Yeah that's it but they must have edited out the scene where Homer goes to talk to the technician because I definitely remember that. Thanks for finding the episode though!

@otto42 @shawnhooper
I found an online transcript and here's the bit:

Lisa: Is it possible to get a green spotlight?

Man: Sorry, sweetie. We don't have green.

Homer: Let Daddy go talk to the man. (HUMMING)
May I have a word with you?
(DOOR CLOSES)
(MAN GROANS)

Homer: Is that green enough for you, sweetie? Because I can make it greener.

Also it's from "A Star is Torn", S16 E18 https://tvshowtranscripts.ourboard.org/viewtopic.php?f=431&t=22213

@DenOfEarth @shawnhooper I probably have the original in my database, and I'll look it up. If I have it, I'll post a copy of it.

@otto42 @shawnhooper
Awesome.

I discovered years ago that sometimes there are bits that are only ever seen once on the original broadcast and get edited out in syndication. For example this famous homage to Star Trek
