“Let's grab some musical instruments and prepare to rock ourselves out with some sloppily and disorderly, mostly-wrong-lyrically, karaoke.”
Scratch is a small, and often inebriated, skeleton who loves to jam out with Timesprites as well as wax philosophically about the meaning of life. He once signed a music contract with the legendary Tim Talent. The tour was to include over 57,000 stops, spread through 3,600 years. One of the stipulations was that Scratch would never be able to return to The Under.
At times Scratch has tried to give up his drinking, but his sobriety generally doesn't last.
Upon his induction to Egglandia, Scratch gifted the Queen the two thumbs of Perry the Professor, which Scratch had stolen while wasted, when Perry called him "small". All of the Professor's knowledge supposedly lies deep within the thumbs, and Scratch has no idea where the rest of Perry's body is.
Variety Hour Act[]
During the Variety Hours, Scratch had his own act - though they were often done unofficially and only as a result of his kidnapping other performers to steal their spot. Eventually, The M.C. gave him his own official place in the lineup. In addition to his normal song list, he would sometimes sing his original song, Be Like the M.C., based on Fly Like an Eagle by Steve Miller Band.
