Plot
When Nia suggests adding a song to spice up Sir Topham Hatt's new bench unveiling, he calls upon her to write a song for the ceremony, but it'll take some brainstorming to discover what's special about a plain bench.

The troublesome truck in this episode was so annoying when he kept saying 'I like it!' or 'Have you written a song yet?' I know this is for comedy but repeating it over and over again doesn't make it funny it just makes it more annoying. Also Percy agreeing with the sheep about what when it comes to the ceremony. What was the joke suppose to be? It makes no sense to me. However the majority of the episode was meh and the repetition of the truck and the engines asking Nia about what to put into the song got annoying as well. The song however was alright but once again, to me, is not that memorable. Overall despite the song, this episode wasn't great.
