"Dixie Wailin'" is a funeral dirge Boober composed "in honor of his own departure." He sings this song in sympathy for Junior Gorg, who has been convinced into thinking he has died in the Fraggle Rock episode "The Challenge."
As Junior's "lifeless" body is blocking the entrance to Fraggle Rock, Boober, Red and Gobo find themselves unable to return home. But then Junior demands that they "pick up the tempo" for Boober's funeral dirge, as he prefers "a funeral dirge you can dance to." Seeing the solution to their predicament, Red and Gobo increase the tempo until the song is more celebratory than sorrowful, much to Boober's chagrin. As Red and Gobo intended, Junior "revives" from his apparent demise and joins in the song, clapping and dancing wildly. Finally, Pa and Ma Gorg arrive and also join in the song, celebrating the "miracle" of Junior's recovery as the Fraggles make their way back home.
