Ted and Dougal are devastated as an inoffensive but unbearably boring priest, Father Stone, arrives on Craggy Island for his annual visit.

Ted is goaded by Father Dick Byrne into attempting to write a song for 'Eurosong '96' (spoof of the Eurovision Song Contest). Despite having a song with only one note, Ireland's fear of winning again (and having to fund it) plays into Ted and Dougal's hands. This mirrors the real life belief that Ireland chose the 1994 Eurovision entry, 'Rock 'n' Roll Kids', which was thought to differ greatly from the typical winning song, so as to ensure that they did not have to host the contest again.

Ted makes a large bet on the King of the Sheep competition. Unfortunately, Chris, his chosen sheep, has heard rumours about a sheep-eating beast and isn't feeling at all himself. The title is a pun on a 1970s bubblegum pop song, 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep'.
