Hank Hill is in charge of organizing the Strickland Propane Family Fun Day. Meanwhile, John Redcorn and his band Big Mountain Fudgecake are having trouble finding a venue to play their music, due to people not enjoying their performances. Acting on Hank's advice, John Redcorn uses his land to open a casino (Speaking Wind Casino and Entertainment Center) so his band can have a place to play, and in turn Hank can have a venue to host the Strickland Propane Family Day. Trouble comes for both John and Hank when the police seize all gaming devices, telling Redcorn that Indian gambling is illegal in Texas, and that all the Indian nations agreed with the Texas Legislature to outlaw gambling in exchange for state and federal recognition. Back to square one, Redcorn plays for the Strickland Family Day, although he changes the lyrics to be family-friendly. This is seen by a talent agent, who gets Redcorn a contract as an entertainer. John Redcorn is then seen with his land being done up in a children-friendly Indian village, Redcorn's Land where he performs as a Mr. Rogers type, finally finding success. Unhappy with the idea of playing family friendly venues, the remaining members of Big Mountain Fudgecake try to make it on their own, still blissfully unaware of how badly people hate their music.

Trivia[]

  • This episode is the first time we see Redcorn's band Big Mountain Fudgecake, having previously been mentioned in "The Witches of East Arlen".
  • Dale derogatorily calling Luanne "Yoko" refers to the singer Yoko Ono, John Lennon's second wife, due to accusations of Yoko being responsible for the breakup of the music band The Beatles.
  • In this episode, John Redcorn claims that he is 40 years old. However, in the preceding Season 4 episode "Nancy Boys", he states that he is 36 years old, a clear inconsistency and error.
  • Hank Hill saying "Do I look like I know what a JPEG is?" at Kopy Kingdom has become a popular internet meme.
