| N/A | Clean Rockin' Daddy |
Johnny sees a girl staring at him in a bar and walks up to kiss her, only to learn, after being slapped in the face and kneeled in the balls, that she actually is his daughter, Gigi, who's mother Cat, used to be a back-up singer for Johnny's band, The Heathens. On the verge of being dropped by his agent, Johnny mulls over his last remaining options as a singer: the Bryan Adams tribute band "Summer of '69" or another tribute band called "Jon Non Jovi". But things take a different turn when Gigi, an aspiring singer, offers $200,000 to Johnny and his former Heathens' guitarist Flash to write some songs for her. The only problem is Johnny and Flash aren't on speaking terms, each blaming the other for breaking up the band back in 1990, whilst Flash also hints at attempting to sleep with Gigi. The group finally gets together at the end just to see if Gigi is as good as she says she is, or if she is just bluffing for their attention. The band plays their former hit song "Animal", and both Johnny and Flash are stunned by Gigi's vocals as they realise the opportunity to get back into showbiz.

Johnny: ... but I want to lay down a couple hard-and-fast rules. Number one: nobody sleeps with my daughter. Number two: nobody sleeps with my daughter. Number three: sleep with my daughter, I pull off your fingers with a socket wrench.
Goofs
- Bam Bam says "Now he's quoting the Bible" in response to Johnny's "My chariot awaits." There's no such Bible verse stating that.
