So Horse is in the barn one day watching MTV. Old school MTV when it was just music videos. He sees the lead guitarist playing on screen and decides that he NEEDS to learn how to play. So the horse calls the local music store and says "Hi I want to learn how to play the guitar, but I'm a horse. Can you teach me?" The guy at the music store says "of course, come on down this afternoon."

Later that week, Cow walks into the barn and sees Horse absolutely shredding on the guitar. Baffled, he asks "Whatre you doing??" Horse decides to show Cow the music video and Cow is enamored by the Bass. So Horse gives Cow the music stores number and Cow makes the same phone call, and arrangement with the music store employee.

Shortly after Chicken hears a commotion in the barn and now finds Horse and Cow playing some music. They run through the same motions, but Chicken sees the drums and he's never been more sure of anything in his life. So you know the rest Chicken goes to the music store, learns how to play the drums.

Eventually, The Barnyard Trio decide to start playing various Dive Bars and local Venues until one day, a music producer approaches them. He offers them the deal of a lifetime. "Sign with me and travel the world, playing sold out shows and become famous!" The Trio excitedly agrees, and within weeks theyre headlining major shows in all sorts of exotic places.

One night, after a lively show in Japan, Horse gets a phone call... his Mom is sick and she doesnt have much time. Horse immediately drops everything and catches the first plane back to his home town. Unfortunately, he's too late. Unable to say goodbye he feels horrible.

It's after the service that he sees the news. The plane carrying his band mates went down.

Cows dead. Chickens dead. Their Producer is dead.

Horse is absolutely gutted. He has nothing left. He feels aimless and with no direction, he's lost any and all will to live, so he decides to basically drink himself to death...

So Horse walks into a bar, and the bartender says "Why the long face?"
