    Everything Comes Down To Poo! hide show

    Well some of the songs were so corny that i just thought it would be complete crap but when they sang "Friends Forever/Whats Going to Happen" I Liked it. It was like "whats going to happen" explained they entire purpose of the show and becomeing a doctor. It also inculded the songs: Everything comes down to poo, Are you ok?, Welcome to sacred(or how ever you spell it) heart, Im dominacn,and A Long long year. I loved a long long year because i never knew how well the lady who plays carla could sing until then. My Musical is an episode you MUST watch!!

    It was different, but really great! hide show

    I watch scrubs for quite some time now, And suddenly i found this extraordinaiy musical episode. I was not shure what to think of it so i watched it.

    Not shure what to think about it i decided to forget i ever seen this episode. Then, when i was in bed that night i had a song in my head. It kept going: for the last time turk, I am dominican! After that i watched again. And again. And again and again and again. I love this episode so much i must have watched it 30 times or more. I have uploaded it on my psp and i am still not sick of it. I say, Awsome Episode =D

    funny... hide show

    This is one of the first episodes of Scrubs I have watched. Granted, I'm not going to watch Scrubs on a regular basis, because of this episode I might watch it if it's on and there's nothing else on. Anyways, a patient comes in that hears everyone singing. Most of the actor's are not very good singers...I thought (you'll have to excuse me because I don't many names...) the black doctor and the doctor that had no place to stay were both pretty good singers. I thought their song "Guy Love" was hilarious. I thought the blond lady doctor was horrendous at singing... the janitor was ok and the old doctor was ok also. Anyways, the story was great and the singing was funny, though not good. Overall, hilarious and an episode I wouldn't mind watching again.

    Can't think of another show that'd do a musical ep this well! hide show

    I can understand how some people may feel about episodes that turn into musicals. I asked countless people and sadly I was the only one who actually loved this musical. A few thought it was ripping off the concept of that Buffy episode "Once More With Feeling" (season 6), others felt the cast wasn't upto singing and dancing, and others just found the whole affair rather cringeworthy. Needless to say, by looking at the other reviews, I'm glad I'm not alone in loving My Musical.
    All songs were cleverly written and integrated into the plot and it was good to hear the cast use their original voices, highlighting that it was not a sing-off. Obviously "Guy Love" was the song that stood out for me, but who wouldn't love "Everything Comes Down To Poo"?

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • When the crew is singing "We're going to miss you, Carla", you can see a clock that shows around 15:10. At the end of the song, Turk and the crew go off to lunch, which is a little late. []
  • Since I'm Dominican was shot two months after the rest of the musical numbers due to Judy Reyes' (Carla) fractured hip, Stephanie D'Abruzzo's (Ms. Miller) hair is slightly longer during that scene than it is in the rest of the episode. []
  • For Latin America, this episode was dubbed to Spanish, including translations of all the songs. However, the songs aren't performed by the same cast who do the dubbing for the dialogs. This becomes evident during Guy Love, as the voice who does J.D.'s singing sounds closer to the voice who does Turk's dialog. []
More Trivia
  • Unusually, the main credits appeared before the opening presentation, except for the writer and the director, who appeared after, like always. []
  • In the song "Everything Comes Down to Poo," the line sung by J.D., "It may sound gross, you may say shush, but we need to see what comes out of your tush," was originally meant to be "It may sound gross, it may sound crass, but we need to see what comes out of your ass." It was changed due to it being too graphic. []
  • According to Bill Lawrence everyone on the cast aside from Sarah Chalke and Christa Miller can sing and dance. []
More Notes
  • I'm Dominican (song)
    Turk: Well I always thought family was the most important thing to Puerto Ricans.
    Carla: I've had it up to here (Holds her hand above her head) so let me make it very clear, because I swear I'll never let you win again! Every time that you confess I come from Puerto Rico-
    Turk: Yes?
    Carla: For the last time Turk, I'm Dominican!
    Turk: Don't make a big to do, I was simply testing you.
    Carla: Then why'd you tell J.D. our baby's blacksican!?
    Turk: Babe, you know I know the truth.
    Carla: Well, I need a little proof! So list all you know about me or no sex again.
    Turk: Ahh let's see....your name is Carla!
    Carla: Oh yes.
    Turk: You are Latina.
    Carla: Impressive.
    Turk: You're a nurse. Your mother's dead and oh wait, I got it! Three sisters!
    Carla: TURK!
    Turk Two sisters? Well, I'm sure you have a brother who's a huge jerk-off!
    Carla: Tell me what's my middle name?
    Turk: Okay, I'm tired of this game! Let's forget it, I give up, I guess you win again. But it's not just me who gets mixed up by all this crazy ethnic stuff!
    Todd: Sorry, even I know, she's Dominican. Boo-yah!
    Carla: Did I grow up in Illinois or was it Michigan? How long before we met was I in medicine? Was our wedding song the Beatles or led Zeppelin? Am I freakin' Puerto Rican or Dominican!?
    Turk: The thing is guys remember facts, like what Derek Jeter hit last year which was 303, and that is why our brains are maxed. And there's no room for things like birthdays or ethnicities!
    Carla: Well thank you for that glimpse into the workings of the inner man.
    Turk: Let's talk about your job, not the fact that your-
    Carla: Dominican!
    Turk: You're not staying home from work!
    Carla: Will that make you happy Turk?
    Turk: I'll support you as long as you choose to earn the Benjamins!
    Carla: The I'll return to work today! Now, you're sure that that's okay?
    Turk: I say si which is yes in Dominican...and Peurto Rican!
    Carla: Turk!
    Turk: But you're Dominican. []
  • Dr. Kelso: This is Dr. Cox, I'll be giving him your chart.
    Dr. Cox: And that's Dr. Kelso, the kiss-ass of Sacred Heart! []
  • You're Going To Be Okay (song)
    Mrs. Miller: What's going to happen?
    What does the future hold?
    So many things that i put off,
    Assuming I'd have time, assuming I'd grow old.
    What's going to happen?
    And will I be alive tomorrow?
    What's going to happen to me?
    Dr. Cox: You're going to be okay.
    All: That's what's going to happen.
    Every thing's okay.
    We're right here beside you.
    We won't let you slip away.
    Plan for tomorrow,
    'Cos we swear to you,
    You're going to be okay.
    Mrs. Miller: I'm going to be okay.
    All: That's what's going to happen.
    Mrs. Miller: Every thing's okay.
    All: Every thing's okay.
    We will never leave you.
    Right here we will stay.
    Plan for tomorrow.
    'Cos we swear to you,
    You're going to be okay.
    J.D.: We hope...
    Dr. Cox: Shhh.... []
