Short summary

Greg has written what he figures is a sure-fire hit song, entitled "We Can Make the World a Whole Lot Brighter". His excitement turns to dismay when he doesn't have the $150 needed to rent the recording studio. Peter convinces him that family groups are big, and that with the six of them, they can make the song better, and share in the expenses. With Mike advancing their collective allowances, the kids are able to come up with the money and book the recording time. As the kids rehearse the song, they notice that something isn't sounding quite right, namely Peter, whose cracking voice is starting to change into manhood. With the recording date a few days away and the money being non-refundable, the kids have to decide if they will record without Peter who contributed throughout the process, record with Peter whose voice will probably ruin the final product if it hasn't completely settled (which in all likelihood it won't despite Peter doing whatever he can to speed up the process), or ...

Peter's voice cracking in "Dough Re Mi" was partly to cover the fact that he couldn't sing well. When the Brady Bunch Kids performed onstage, Christopher Knight took the least vocal duties of all, and Knight admitted years later that he "couldn't carry a tune in a bucket".

The title is based on the musical scale as taught in school: "Do Re Mi Fa So La Te Do."
