"Breezy Listening Blues" is the second half of the tenth episode and season finale of Arthur's ninth season. Together with "Binky Goes Nuts", it first aired on April 8, 2005. This episode deals with stress of making a bad test grade and the rush to find out why. It was written by Peter K. Kirsch and the storyboards were done by Jeremy O'Neill.
Premise
After Brain, receives a B+ on a test, he wonders what might have caused this catastrophe. He realizes the only thing different was the new background music his mom bought for their ice cream parlor.
Plot Outline
Mr. Ratburn is handing back test papers. He questions if Allen was feeling okay when he took the test. Brain is shocked to see that his grade is a B+, and immediately asks if this is correct. Mr. Ratburn tells him it is, and tells him not to take it too hard. Arthur and Buster try to tell him that a B is a good grade, with Buster wishing he'd gotten one (he got a C). Brain freaks out because that is only one grade above a C- and he hasn't ever gotten a B- before. Arthur shrugs it out and tells him he'll do better next time. Brain again freaks out saying that he might not do better and instead will do worse and worse, until he becomes like Buster. He proceeds to fantasize himself as Buster, confusing a blimp with a UFO and eating a cupcake out of the garbage. Back in the classroom, he says that this could be the start of something very bad.

- Buster: (concerning a sad Koko Taylor song)Could you play a different one? This one's making me kind of sad.
- Brain: What would you like to hear? There's "Bills, Bills, Bills, and more Bills", "Evil", "I Cried Like A Baby"...
- Buster: They all sound sad!
- Brain: They're not. "I Cried Like A Baby" is pretty upbeat. It just has a sad title.
