Recap / A Pup Named Scooby Doo S 2 E 3 The Spirit Of Rock N Roll

Go To

The ghost of former rock legend Purvis Parker, who mysteriously disappeared years ago, returns to exact revenge on new rock star, Buddy Chillner.

Tropes present in this episode:

  • Ascended Fanboy: Up and coming rock star Buddy Chillner idolized Purvis Parker and performs some of Parker's songs in his concerts as a tribute to him. Turns out the real Purvis Parker, alive and well, is actually a big fan of Buddy as well, and at the end of the episode the two get to perform onstage together.
  • Elvis Impersonator: Given that Purvis Parker is an expy of Elvis, one of the suspects is a Purvis impersonator.
  • Expy: Rock 'n roll legend Purvis Parker to Elvis Presley.
  • Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Purvis Parker's disappearance decades prior to the episode was just Purvis wanting some peace and quiet out of the public eye. He disguises himself so he could go out to Buddy's concerts, being a Buddy fan himself. After the mystery is solved he "comes back" and begins performing again.
