| “ | Be part of the musical celebration! | ” |
— Kelly Osbourne | ||
Heinz Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram have their hearts set on revealing the top 10 musical numbers from Seasons 2 and 3, but soon find out that celebrity host Kelly Osbourne has been brought in to fill the role. Unwilling to submit to playing second fiddle, Doofenshmirtz makes it his mission to thwart Kelly until Perry sets out to stop his nemesis from ruining the entire show.
Episode Summary
Act One
As the announcer introduces the countdown, Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram enter the stage at PFT Studios, preparing to host again. However, the announcer informs them that this episode's host is Kelly Osbourne, and she comes out, excited to host the episode. Confused, Doofenshmirtz and Monogram ask Kelly what she's doing, as they believe themselves to be the hosts. Kelly offers the two the role of co-hosts, and after a list of all the songs from the show scrolls by, she kicks off the countdown with song #10 - "Candace Party".
After the clip finishes, Doofenshmirtz laments about his demotion to co-host, while Monogram states that he's fine with it. After a brief debate about the hosting hierarchy, Kelly shows #9 - "Come Home Perry".
Although Kelly is excited about the countdown, she states her concern over Doofenshmirtz & Monogram's outfits, considering them to be too "uniform-y". She and Monogram suggest that Doofenshmirtz try a cape and a Nehru jacket, respectively; after the two men head backstage to change, Kelly reveals #8 - "I'm Me".
Once the song ends, Doofenshmirtz & Monogram return to the stage, dressed exactly like Kelly. Monogram is upset that he got talked into the getup, but Doof tells him to run with it, telling him to "strike a pose". Excited, Kelly has the three of them participate in a short round of voguing. However, Doofenshmirtz gets upset, as he was about to suggest voguing, and leaves angrily. Kelly and Monogram realize that this means they get to host more, and they show song #7 - "A-G-L-E-T".
Having changed back into his uniform, Monogram agrees with Kelly's proclamation that the countdown is a lot of fun. After a brief discussion of the Nehru jacket, Kelly reveals #6 - "City of Love".
Act Two
Doofenshmirtz returns to stage with his Away-inator helmet, preparing to zap Kelly into another dimension for demoting him to co-host. However, Perry swings down from the lights and uses a mirror to reflect the -inator's ray back at Doofenshmirtz, sending him to the Baby alien's dimension instead. Happy that Perry has stopped by, Kelly lets him introduce song #5 - "Summer (Where Do We Begin?)".
After the song, Kelly reveals a surprise: Maia Mitchell has shown up to say hi. Maia comes on stage and greets Kelly & Monogram, and reveals that Perry is her favorite as they are both from Australia. Kelly invites Maia to introduce clip #4 - "Brand New Best Friend".
After Perry gives the song a thumbs-up, Maia confesses that she makes Perry noises when no one is looking, which Kelly & Monogram also admit to. After Carl arrives at the stage, thrilled to see Maia, whom he is a big fan of, the four of them all try to imitate Perry's chatter, before admitting that Perry does it best. As Maia now has to leave, Carl walks her out, prompting Monogram to comment that the intern clearly has a schoolboy crush. Agreeing, Kelly shows #3 - "There's a Platypus Controlling Me".
Kelly proposes writing a song for next year's countdown; as Monogram agrees, Doofenshmirtz suddenly zaps back to the stage, and is upset upon learning that he missed Maia Mitchell. The three of them attempt to improvise a round-robin song, but Doofenshmirtz ruins it by forcing the others to rhyme with "silver" and "orange". Kelly rolls her eyes at him before rolling clip #2 - "Summer Belongs to You".
Act Three
Kelly asks the others what their favorite song on the countdown is. After they answer, Doofenshmirtz attempts to start a flashback, but Kelly interrupts, as it's time to reveal the top song. She states that the viewers actually picked her favorite song as the winner, and reveals song #1 - "Everything's Better with Perry".
After the final number, Kelly states that the day has been, to quote Phineas and Ferb, "the best day ever!" Doofenshmirtz finally agrees to be co-host, but Kelly simply tells him and Monogram to say goodbye, as the episode is over. The three hosts do so, and wave to the audience.

Memorable Quotes
Major Monogram: Don't worry, Kelly. I am totally down for being second banana.
Doofenshmirtz: Well, first of all, that's a little sad. But, second of all, technically, you would be third banana. It would go: Kelly, and then me, and then you. And, ih, I would be second banana. Kelly Osbourne: Nobody is a banana, because there are no bananas! Major Monogram: Yes, we have no bananas! |

Background Information
- This episode combined live-action with animation a la Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the first to do so in-series outside of the spinoff Take Two with Phineas and Ferb ("Tri-Stone Area" combined animation with live stop-motion).
- When the list of songs scrolls by, "Watchin' and Waitin'" is identified as "Don't Even Blink", the BMI-registered title of the song.
- The song "A-G-L-E-T" is not complete.
- This is the only episode that was not available on Netflix, and is not present on Disney+.
- This is the only episode that has never been shown in Spain.
- It was also never broadcasted in Portugal, being one of two episodes to do so. This could have been due to the fact that the Spanish and Portuguese versions of Disney Channel did their own second Cliptastic countdown in December 2011.
Production Information
- This episode was produced by Plastic Cow Productions, who was not credited.[1]
- Voting for this countdown started on May 24, 2013 and ended on June 17, 2013, which was less than two weeks before the episode premiered.
- The second week of voting paired up the two summer-themed songs "Summer Belongs to You" and "Summer (Where Do We Begin?)". However, on the website, the images for the songs were mixed up. "Summer Belongs to You" won the voting, and moved on to round 3.
- This is the only episode directed by Kim Roberson.
- In the original airing of this episode, the writer and director were not credited. This was corrected in later airings.
- Unlike all other episodes, this episode was animated with Adobe Flash like Take Two with Phineas and Ferb and Doofenshmirtz's Daily Dirt, the music video exclusive scenes in "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas", the animation sequences in Disney's Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever!, and Doofenshmirtz's guest appearance on Shark Tank.
- In Latin America and Brazil, this episode was advertised as "Cliptastic 3", because these territories made their own second Cliptastic in 2011, with songs from Season 2.
- In Israel, the voting format was different. Instead of a tournament, the songs were chosen by the number of views on the website.[2]

Errors
- In the list of songs that appears at the beginning, "Backyard Beach" appears twice.
- When Kelly is introducing Maia Mitchell, part of her left hand disappears as she waves it about.
- Some people in the audience appear to be in a couple of separate seats at the same time.
- In the credits, Bert King is listed twice; once as "Bert" and once as "Robert".
Continuity
- Doofenshmirtz shows his inability to come up with rhymes again ("Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?", "Rollercoaster: The Musical!").
- Doofenshmirtz uses his Away-inator helmet again ("Vanessassary Roughness").
Allusions
- Yes! We Have No Bananas - After Osbourne says no one is a second banana because there are no bananas, Major Monogram quotes the title of this 1920s novelty song.
- Vogue - After Doofenshmirtz and Monogram dress up as Kelly, they "strike a pose" like Madonna's famous music video.
Trivia
- This is the longest Perry is seen smiling.
- It is revealed that Perry is from Australia, which makes sense since platypi are indigenous to Australia.
- There actually are words that rhyme perfectly with orange and silver, they are just obscure. Blorenge is a hill in Wales, and a chilver is a female lamb.
- The title card is in a different format for the seventh time in the series ("Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown", "Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!", "Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension", "Happy New Year!", "My Sweet Ride", "Primal Perry").
- The episode begins in a similar way to the original Musical Cliptastic Countdown.
- Phineas and Ferb do not appear in the episode itself, instead appearing in the majority of the songs. If the songs are not counted, this is the first episode to not feature Phineas and Ferb at all, which would make Perry the only character to appear in every episode of the series.
- The audience in this episode is the same audience from "The Curse of the Princess Monster" movie ("Lights, Candace, Action!").
- This is the lowest-rated episode of the series on IMDB with only a 6.8/10 as most episodes have around a 8/10 on IMDB.
- This is the second Musical Cliptastic Countdown in the United States ("Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown") and the third one in Latin America and Brazil ("Cliptástico 2").
- This is the fourth clip show of the series ("Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown", "Phineas' Birthday Clip-O-Rama!", "This Is Your Backstory").
- This episode is 45 minutes with advertisements, making it the fourth longest episode behind "Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!", "Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!", and "Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars".
- "Army of Me" and "All the Convoluted Reasons We Pretend to be Divorced" are in the song list, even though this episode premiered before "Night of the Living Pharmacists" and "Tales from the Resistance: Back to the 2nd Dimension".
