When Peter re-discovers his love for the painfully annoying yet seductively catchy tune "Surfin' Bird," Brian and Stewie decide to take matters into their own hands to ensure that the song will never be heard again!
Peter goes to every record store in Quahog to track down his beloved jingle, and he runs into a familiar face, none other than Jesus.
