Mine is the eighth episode of the fourth series of Alphablocks. It is the 86th episode overall.
I is having a dance party. E, G, and H want to come. I turns into capital. But I thinks she is the only one who's allowed to say her name.
Only I can say I
I'm simply the best I've found
You'll never do it so don't even try
I don't need you others around!
She wants to have her party by herself. I turns into lowercase. Then she sticks with G and H. I-i-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i. They're IGH, and everything's looking...
b-r-igh-t, BRIGHT!
They're IGH, and you're gonna see the...
l-igh-t, LIGHT!
Stay right here 'cause tonight is the party...
n-igh-t, NIGHT!
I-i-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i...
I scolds G and H for saying her name. Then she sticks with E. I-i-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i. When she's with E, it's as easy as making a...
p-ie, PIE!
I sticks with E like a clown with a trick bow...
t-ie, TIE!
Cross her heart, they never tell a...
l-ie, LIE!
I tells some lies. But everyone...
l-i-k-e, LIKE!
...likes her! I-i-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i-i I-i-i-i-i. And when Magic E does his magic on me, then it's time for me to...
sh-i-n-e, SHINE!
She's staying alive, she will survive, and together they'll be...
f-i-n-e, FINE!
I says she feels fine. She tells everyone that she can share her name. Yes they can be her friends. No word of a lie friends. And with them by her side, they're gonna be flying high!

Total words: 9
A, C, D, J, M, O, Q, U, V, W, X, Y and Z are absent in this episode.
B, F, K, L, N, P, R, T, and digraph SH only say their sound.
S only appears as part of digraph SH for the entire episode.
When Alphablock I sings "I'm staying alive, I will survive..." the words ALIVE and SURVIVE are not made.
This is the second time an Alphablock changes their Letter from lowercase to uppercase. In this case, it would be Alphablock I.
More digraphs that makes the long "i" sound is IA, as in "trial", and AE in “Maestro”. The digraphs did not appear in this episode, because each Long Vowel Song can only hold up to 3 long vowel sounds, and both are rather unusual digraphs.
Also, Y alone can make a long I sound (as taught in Why).
In the word list in the game version, LIE is not seen.
The line "And with you by my side..." was used again from Name.
This is the only Long Vowel Song where G speaks. She only says her sound in Name, Home, and Blue.
The buzzer sound heard each time I lies is used again in the Numberblocks episode Peekaboo!, when Three and Four fail to hide Five.
This is the only Long Vowel song in which the title isn't a word made.
This is the second Long Vowel song to have a capital letter, the first being E's long vowel song: Sleep.
