''Garfield Goes Hollywood'' is the seventh half-hour animated special based on the '' Garfield '' comic strip. It features the voice and music talent common in Garfield animated specials, including Lorenzo Music (the voice of Garfield) and Lou Rawls (provides the songs). The special premiered in 1987 . STORYLINE Garfield and Odie believe their dance routines (as performed on the fencetop at night) can't be beat and so does Jon. They happen to be watching Pet Search (a pet's version of '' Star Search '') when they come up with a great idea to go on the show. Jon is hoping to win the $1,000 prize, which Garfield is not really impressed by. They perform as an Elvis style trio called "Johnny Bop and the Two-Steps" (rather reluctantly, because they did not really want Jon involved in their act). Garfield believes it is embarrassing because they all have to wear Elvis-like costumes. Despite how embarrassing it felt to perform their rock 'n roll number, the gang are in for a big surprise... they win! Which means they can go to Hollywood and try their luck at the nationals. They hit the road to Hollywood and arrive at their fancy hotel. Garfield and Odie are concerned that their act is too mediocre to win first prize, so they destroy Jon's guitar when he isn't looking. This allows Garfield and Odie to come up with a better act for the show. Garfield and Odie compete in the finals as a tango dancing duo. They see all these fabulous prizes being offered to the winner. Jon is now much more serious, saying that he thinks being able to return to their old life would be the best prize of all. Garfield is focused on fame and thinks Jon has lost it. Unfortunately their act loses to an opera singing cat. Jon wins a boat as second place prize. The moral being that even though they didn't strike fame, at least they didn't get over their heads, right? SONGS IN ''GARFIELD GOES HOLLYWOOD''
