Jeff bought a music track of the Opera and the Jungle. Anthony was listening to music and said hi to Jeff really loud, who tells him that there is no need to shout. Anthony took the headphones off and Jeff showed him the music tracks that he bought from the music shop. Anthony gave the headphones to Jeff and leaves to get a snack. Jeff decides to listen to the opera first and sits on his Alarm Clock Chair.
After some time has passed, Jeff falls asleep while listening to the opera. Meanwhile, Anthony is juggling some apples, Murray is playing his Red Starry Guitar, Greg is reading a book and Captain Feathersword comes by on his unicycle. The next day, Jeff is still sleeping while Wags the Dog is playing with his ball and Captain Feathersword continues to ride his unicycle.
It has been days and days that he has been listening to that CD, so The Awake Wiggles decide to wake him up. They called out "Wake Up Jeff!", but he couldn't hear them since he had the headphones on. They took it off and called out "Wake Up Jeff!" again. Then when Jeff woke up, he started to sing like a opera lady. The Wiggles think that they have to do something, so Greg thought of making him fall asleep again so he will get back to normal. He went back to sleep and Anthony turned the CD to the jungle but it wasn't playing but when he woke up again, he sounded normal again but then when he went back to sleep and then woke up again, he started to think he is a animal. They say that monkeys are friendly but lions aren't and Greg, Murray, and Anthony ran away when Jeff is chasing them like a lion.
