Plot

After making a new guitar, Lammy also gets a distortion, however, Lammy is almost late and 2 minutes until the show starts. Lammy runs out of the shop, causes a brief car crash, dies, and goes to hell after PJ lazily throws a banana peel and slips. Lammy gets sent to hell but she got dragged on stage by Jack Smash (who is a pumpkin, and Yoko's agent) who thought Lammy was Rammy. Yoko asks why she's late, but says she is going to kill her, Lammy replies that she thinks she's dead already. Yoko offers to take Lammy back to where she came from if she does good in her concert. She reminds herself that her guitar is in her mind (though it's technically in her hands), and then she gets ready to jam.

Lammy is now holding her new guitar that Paul Chuck and she made. Paul Chuck Here! You can have this, too! Paul Chuck awards Lammy the "Distortion." Lammy Thank you. Lammy looks at her watch one more time. Lammy Aagh! Lammy realizes she has only 2 minutes left. Lammy 2 more minutes and I'm history. Lammy causes a brief car crash. While running, she accidently slips on a banana peel. Lammy Aaaaagh! A cartoony BAM! effect plays, Lammy then dies, and her ghost flies to hell. The scene changes where Lammy lies on the ground. Lammy Phew. It was a dream. This scene shows a grim factory in the ruined streets on the mountain. Lammy Am I dead? She feels alone and stands up. Lammy Is this hell? She walks through the streets in loneliness before stopping. Lammy If... if I'm dead, then the game's over! What a stupid game!! A fake credits roll starts playing. Jack Smash Oh, there's the guitarist! Come on, hurry! Hurry! Jack Smash grabs Lammy and runs off with her. Jack Smash We need you out there! Lammy Huh? Jack Smash rips the credits roll Jack Smash Not yet! Not yet! The scene changes to what appears to be a stage, with a crowd cheering, Teriyaki Yoko is seen on stage, she turns over to Lammy, who is dropped onto the stage. Teriyaki Yoko Who do you think you are, coming in this late? Don't underestimate me just cuz I'm an idol! Jack Smash C'mon, it's time to do it! Teriyaki Yoko I'm gonna kill you! Lammy Eh, I think I'm dead already. Teriyaki Yoko Then I'll put you back to life! Lammy Really? Can you really do that? Teriyaki Yoko Yeah, only if you play right! Come on! Teriyaki Yoko tosses the guitar back to Lammy. Lammy Yeah, that's right. My guitar is in my mind. The guitar begins to shine at once. Lammy Leave it to Lammy! Teriyaki Yoko Here we go, everyone! One! Two! Three! Four!

Plot

After making a new guitar, Lammy also gets a distortion, however, Lammy is almost late and 2 minutes until the show starts. Lammy goes back in time after getting her belt stuck on the door knob, and getting launched from it so fast that she time warps and ends up on a island, but she gets dragged on stage by Jack Smash (who is a pumpkin, and Yoko's agent) who thought Lammy was Rammy. Yoko asks why she's late, but Lammy states that she was on her way to her own show. Yoko offers to take Lammy back to where she came from if she does good in her concert. She reminds herself that her guitar is in her mind (though it's technically in her hands), and then she gets ready to jam.

Teriyaki Yoko I know you're the wild and violent flame. I still, smell your smoke and I can't play straight with your game. That doesn't mean, that I am yours, I'm not alone, I'm not a fool, I have a lot to give. In any case, it's up to you, if you can show, that you can give more than I got to give. It might be you, or maybe you, my mind is jumping back and forth and up and down. Somebody come and rescue me, before an angel comes to take me round and round. (I only wanted you to.) I only wanted you to, come over here, 'cuz I can think of something for me and you to do. (Come over here, with me.) (If I can be, without you,) If I can have another, another dream, the devil would come back to pick me up with you (And I hope you will be mine forever.) I wanna be a girl, that has a lot to give, never caught alone, never shedding tears. So I need a man, that really understands every little thing and knows my fears. It might be you, or maybe you, my mind is jumping back and forth and up and down. Somebody come and rescue me, before an angel comes to take me round and round. (I only wanted you to.) I only wanted you to, come over here, 'cuz I can think of something for me and you to do. (Come over here, with me.) (If I can be, without you,) If I can have another, another dream, the devil would come back to pick me up with you (And I hope you will scream.) (I only wanted you to.) Oh I do hope that the, that the time comes. (Come over here, with me.) Time has come for me to, me to have fun. (If I can be, without you,) I'm talking bout a lot of fire. I'm talking 'bout no getting tired. (And I hope you will be mine forever.) Forever and ever. Together forever.

Mode Differences

Cool: Teriyaki Yoko praises Lammy, PaRappa, or Rammy as being "way too cool," and the crowd transforms into a vortex, allowing for freestyle performance.

Cool Fail: The crowd reverts to a wave pattern, and Teriyaki Yoko says, "Enough of this! You need me already."

Bad: Skulls on the side of the stage occasionally shoot lightning into the crowd, causing Lammy, PaRappa, or Rammy to get electrocuted and distracted. A buzzing sound follows each lightning strike.

Awful: The drums of the instrumental stop playing, and the music loses its rock element. Skulls continue to shoot lightning, and the crowd briefly opens the "Red Gate of Hell," summoning the giantess form of Teriyaki Yoko. A buzzing sound follows the lightning strikes, and in Lammy's version, the sitar in the instrumental becomes ominous.

Trivia

• This was the most heavily changed stage in the game. The majority of the cutscenes were changed in the American release due to references of the devil, Hell, and angels being mean.
  • Plus, Lammy has different clothes in the American version due to the producers of Sony Computer Entertainment of America bowdlerized the scene into being warped to a volcanic island.
• The ominous sitar from the BAD/AWFUL mode instrumental in Lammy's version sounds very similar to the intro of "Scene Six: Home" by Dream Theater.
• It is unknown how PaRappa ended up in hell (JP/EU) or on the island (US).
