Plot Synopsis
In this episode, Chef discovers that Alanis Morissette's (fictional) hit song "Stinky Britches" is a song that he wrote many years ago, before abandoning his musical aspirations. Chef contacts a "major record company" executive, seeking only to have his name credited as the composer of "Stinky Britches." Chef's claim is substantiated by a twenty-year-old recording of Chef performing the song. The record company refuses, and furthermore hires Johnnie Cochran, who files a lawsuit against Chef for harassment. Cochran employs the Chewbacca defense, resulting in a win for the record company and damages to be paid by the defense. Chef now has 24 hours to come up with the money or face incarceration. However, instead of allowing all his stuff to taken by the greedy record company executive, Chef decides to raise all the money by sleeping with all the women in town, but instead of paying the executive, he will pay Johnnie Cochran the money so he can sue the record company.
Meanwhile, Mr. Garrison witnesses many strange attempts on Mr. Twig's life; he finds him boiling in a pot of water, and later snapped in half. The evidence begins to point to Mr. Hat as the culprit, culminating in a showdown between Garrison and Mr. Hat which lands the former in jail.
The boys try to help Chef by rounding up various musicians, whose careers have been boosted by Chef's advice, to hold a benefit concert. Unfortunately, the record company executive sabotages the concert, but the outpouring of support for Chef touches Johnnie Cochran, whose heart "grew three sizes that day" (taken from Dr. Seuss's book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!). Cochran switches sides for free, successfully defending Chef, free of charge, in a new trial (ironically, using the Chewbacca Defense again) and getting his name put on the album. Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hat eventually make up their differences and get back together.
Album Release
An album was eventually released based on the episode. It featured 21 songs, some being extended and unaired songs from this episode and previous episodes in the series, others being completely original to the album. Many notable artists, from all different genres, made cameo appearances on the album.
Kenny's Death
Ozzy Osbourne bites Kenny's head off - a reference to an infamous incident at a concert when Osbourne bit the head off a live bat on stage.

- The song "Stinky Britches" is seen again in the season 2 finale, "Prehistoric Ice Man". In the episode, a man who was frozen in 1996 is walking by a store, and on the TVs in the store window is Marilyn Manson singing Stinky Britches in his Mechanical Animals costume. The man then continues to break the TVs in a fit of rage, because he cannot adapt.
- Alanis Morissette in the video Mr. Garrison watches is normal looking and doesn't look like all other Canadians in the show.
