"Musical Cliptastic Countdown" (Hosted by Kelly Osbourne) is a television special of Phineas and Ferb.
Synopsis
Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram have their hearts set on revealing the top 10 musical numbers from Seasons 2 and 3, but soon find out that celebrity host Kelly Osbourne has been brought in to fill the role. Unwilling to submit to playing second fiddle, Doofenshmirtz makes it his mission to thwart Kelly until Perry the Platypus sets out to stop his nemesis from ruining the entire show. Maia Mitchell ("Teen Beach Movie") also guest stars.
Plot
Part I
As the announcer introduces the countdown, Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram enter the stage at PFT Studios, preparing to host again. However, the announcer informs them that this episode's host is Kelly Osbourne, and she comes out, excited to host the episode. Confused, Doof and Monogram ask Kelly what she's doing, as they believe themselves to be the hosts. Kelly offers the two the role of co-hosts, and after a list of all the songs from the show scrolls by, she kicks off the countdown with song #10 - "Candace Party".
After the clip finishes, Doofenshmirtz laments about his demotion to co-host, while Monogram states that he's fine with it. After a brief debate about the hosting hierarchy, Kelly shows #9 - "Come Home Perry".
Although Kelly is excited about the countdown, she states her concern over Doof & Monogram's outfits, considering them to be too "uniform-y". She and Monogram suggest that Doof try a cape and a Nehru jacket, respectively; after the two men head backstage to change, Kelly reveals #8 - "I'm Me".
Once the song ends, Doof & Monogram return to the stage, dressed exactly like Kelly. Monogram is upset that he got talked into the getup, but Doof tells him to run with it, telling him to "strike a pose". Excited, Kelly has the three of them participate in a short round of voguing. However, Doofenshmirtz gets upset, as he was about to suggest voguing, and leaves angrily. Kelly and Monogram realize that this means they get to host more, and they show song #7 - "A-G-L-E-T".
Having changed back into his uniform, Monogram agrees with Kelly's proclamation that the countdown is a lot of fun. After a brief discussion of the Nehru jacket, Kelly reveals #6 - "City of Love".
Part II
Doofenshmirtz returns to stage with his Away-inator helmet, preparing to zap Kelly into another dimension for demoting him to co-host. However, Perry swings down from the lights and uses a mirror to reflect the -inator's ray back at Doof, sending him to the Baby alien's dimension instead. Happy that Perry has stopped by, Kelly lets him introduce song #5 - "Summer (Where Do We Begin?)".
After the song, Kelly reveals a surprise: Maia Mitchell has shown up to say hi. Maia comes on stage and greets Kelly & Monogram, and reveals that Perry is her favorite as they are both from Australia. Kelly invites Maia to introduce clip #4 - "Brand New Best Friend".
After Perry gives the song a thumbs-up, Maia confesses that she makes Perry noises when no one is looking, which Kelly & Monogram also admit to. After Carl arrives at the stage, thrilled to see Maia, whom he is a big fan of, the four of them all try to imitate Perry's chatter, before admitting that Perry does it best. As Maia now has to leave, Carl walks her out, prompting Monogram to comment that the intern clearly has a schoolboy crush. Agreeing, Kelly shows #3 - "There's a Platypus Controlling Me".
Kelly proposes writing a song for next year's countdown; as Monogram agrees, Doofenshmirtz suddenly zaps back to the stage and is upset upon learning that he missed Maia Mitchell. The three of them attempt to improvise a round-robin song, but Doofenshmirtz ruins it by forcing the others to rhyme with "silver" and "orange". Kelly rolls her eyes at him before rolling clip #2 - "Summer Belongs to You".
Part III
Kelly asks the others what their favorite song on the countdown is. After they answer, Doofenshmirtz attempts to start a flashback, but Kelly interrupts, as it's time to reveal the top song. She states that the viewers actually picked her favorite song as the winner, and reveals song #1 - "Everything's Better with Perry".
After the final number, Kelly states that the day has been, to quote Phineas and Ferb, "the best day ever!" Doofenshmirtz finally agrees to be the co-host, but Kelly simply tells him and Monogram to say goodbye, as the episode is over. The three hosts do so and wave to the audience.

Goofs
- The screen behind Osbourne that shows all of the songs shows "Backyard Beach" twice and also shows some songs that have yet to air including "All the Convoluted Reasons" from "Tales From the Resistance: Back to the 2nd Dimension", "Chupacabra Ho" from "La Candace-Cabra", and "Doof's Evil Hideout Vacation Swap" from "Live and Let Drive". It also misidentifies "Busting Feeding Frenzy" from "What Do It Do?" as "Bust Em Beat Em Frenzy" and "Watchin' and Waitin'" from "Don't Even Blink" as "Don't Even Blink" (even though that was the original name of the song thought by many), which is the episode title, and "Mobile Mammal" from "Suddenly Suzy" as "Alabama Bound". However, these are the BMI-registered titles of all three of these songs.
- In the same list, Bango Ru from "The Chronicles of Meap" was misspelled as Bangor Yu.
- When Kelly is introducing Maia Mitchell, part of her left hand disappears as she waves it about.
- Many of the songs on the list were from Season 1, and Bee Song from "Bee Day" could be seen on that list, despite being from season 4. Also, not all Season 2 and 3 songs were votable.
- In the original airing of this episode, the writer and director were not credited. This was corrected in later airings.
Trivia
- After Osbourne says no one is a second banana because there are no bananas, Major Monogram quotes the title of the 1920s novelty song Yes! We Have No Bananas.
- It is revealed that Perry is from Australia, which makes sense since platypi are indigenous to Oz.
