The Stones are a rocking bunch of naked mole rats, who sing a song about the same thing. Theyre always, always naked. Thats just a fact. They all know who the band is before their next performance. What Grand-Mah (Carol Kane), the colony's original burrow dignitaries, would expect.
Wilbur isnt lost. He is just contemplating what it all means. Sure, the mole rat colony of humans has exploded with sympathy for their views on nakedness. But what if they did? And in response to his song, a brimmed hat comes down from a crack in Wilbur's chamber. It looks pretty good.
Wilbur is seen strutting about in his new dandy green plaid pants and a crisp white dress shirt, complete with a feather his Mole-ing Stones bandmates see a scandal on the horizon. It's unthinkable! It's unimaginable! It's unimaginable! It's unimaginable! It's unimaginable! It's unimaginable! It's unimaginable! It's unimaginable! It's unimaginable
Grand-Mah is the only mole in this colony who can put Wilbur straight. Man, come on. However, when Grande, Tall, and Venti see their friend before the great and mysterious leader, she isn't exactly what they expected, nor does she take Wilbur's clothed status in the same way they expected.
