[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Piper's club isn't doing great, so she is looking for a big band to play there and gets the band, Dishwalla. But what the sisters don't know is that the manager of the band has made a deal with a demon to exchange young souls for money and success. The manager mainly brings back women who say that they would do anything to meet the band. Unfortunately, the Charmed Ones' neighbor Jenny says this and gets eaten by the demon. The only way to vanquish the demon is to throw the potion into its mouth. Phoebe spills the potion on her skirt and Prue uses her power to shove the skirt down the demon's throat, saving Jenny and many others.

[edit] Trivia

This episode's title refers to the fact that when Rock N Roll was first created, many people referred to it as the devil's music.
Leo meets Dan for the first time in this episode.
Dan is revealed to have been a former second base baseball player for the Seattle Mariners until he blew out his knee sliding home.
Is the first episode to have one of the musical guests actually be a part of the storyline. This would be done again in the season five episode Lucky Charmed in which singer Pat Benatar does something similar.
We first hear Leo make a reference to casting a spell on his own: to mentally suggest Jeff Carlton to book Dishwalla at P³.
Piper angrily retorts to Leo, "What are we, Leo's Witches, now." This is a play on the tv show, Charlie's Angels, also creared by Aaron Spelling.

[edit] International titles

French: Une musique d'enfer
