Peso loves having everyone on the Octopod sing for their family or friends, but everyone is a little shy when they have to perform.

He once got all the kids to sing "Carry On My Wayward Son" for Peso's mother and siblings, and all the kids refused to sing out and stayed extremely quiet. Peso wasn't mad, or disappointed, he just felt bad that he made the kids so nervous, and let them pick out a song they wanted to do (Ten Duel Commandments from Hamilton) and let them do that one. That time, the kids did it perfectly, and Peso was so proud of his little baby brothers and sisters that he nearly cried.

Peso loves duets for some reason. Maybe it's because he loves the idea of two people singing a special song with each other, or maybe it's because he because he loves hearing two people in perfect harmony.

Once when everyone was performing for the Octo-Agents, he and the Captain sang "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban. The line from the song "I am strong, when I am on your shoulders." made the whole thing perfect when Peso sang it to the Captain. 

The one that Dashi and Tweak did (Not While I'm Around) with the line. "No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare, others can desert you, not to worry, whistle I'll be there." was also absolutely the sweetest thing ever, including Dashi giving Tweak a big hug the second they finished the song.

Whenever everyone has a performance, they set up a sort of "stage" in the kitchen. Once when Tweak was going to hang the curtains up, she got a little nervous when the ladder was extremely wobbly, so Kwazii held onto it and promised her on his honor as a pirate, he wouldn't let her fall.

When all the boys sang "For the Longest Time", it ended up being a bit of a fail. You could only hear the Captain and Kwazii, and let's just say Kwazii's voice wasn't exactly too pleasant, and it was all the girls could do to keep themselves from laughing the whole time, but after the song, Peso still gave everyone a hug and gushed over how "good" they sang and how "lovely" their voices were.

The baby Vegimals always get too excited whenever they see the "pretty stage" being built, and insist that they want to sing too, and Peso is too happy to let them, so all the cuties get their moment in the spotlight, and Peso thinks the whole dance routine they made for their song was absolutely adorable, and gave all the cuties (plastic) flowers afterwards that they treasured forever.
