Bam-Boo!

Written by

Bam-Boo! is the 3rd episode from Series 2.

## Plot

A band of primate friends play music in their tropical island paradise and meet different musical guests.

A loud clattering sound from outside makes Zak jump, and so he sings a song all about being a big brave gorilla and not being scared, to prove to the others that he's not scared of anything. After seeing some Andean pipers in the glade, the ZingZillas decide that they should make some panpipes for Zak to play in the Big Zing. Zak rushes off to the other end of the island, where there is a big bamboo bush, to collect some bamboo sticks.

Unbeknown to Zak, Todd is trying out his latest banana-picking invention on the other side of the bush. As Zak collects a stick, the banana-picking machine makes a strange noise which scares Zak and he runs off with only one stick. When he returns to the clubhouse, the others can't understand why he only collected one stick and remind him that they need more than one to make their panpipes. Reluctantly Zak goes back to the bush. Another loud groan from the banana-picking machine sends him fleeing yet again with only one piece of bamboo.

The other ZingZillas realise that there is a problem and follow Zak as he heads back to the bamboo bush for yet another attempt. This time they all hear the strange sounds. Just as they are about to run away, Todd emerges and explains that the strange noises are coming from his machine. Zak is able to collect all the bamboo he needs just in time for the Big Zing!

Robotic Beat

Written by

Robotic Beat is the 19th episode from Series 4.

## Plot

A problem with the TV inspires Zak to start doing a robot voice, which makes him cough a little. Panzee thinks they should write a song about robots, and everyone agrees this is a brilliant idea.

Panzee plays a robotic beat on her keyboard and the rest of the ZingZillas join in with the song, but when Zak starts to sing like a robot he starts to cough again. Back at the clubhouse, Zak tries again. He has a sip of water but it's no good. Every time he makes a robot voice he starts to cough.

In the glade, Zak settles down next to DJ. He is sad because he can't sing a robot song in the Big Zing. DJ tries to cheer him up by showing him Rie Fujii who does robotic dancing. When Rie has finished, Zak has a wonderful idea - he won't sing in a robot voice, he'll dance like a robot instead!

Guest performer: Rie Fujii

The swing of the beat so groovy and neat

You play on the kick and the snare

I like all the click you get from the sticks

And then you spin them up in the air

In the air.

On the snare

And the hats

On the toms

And the crash

On the drums

On the drums

On the drum kit

Drum kit ohh

Now you’re playing it on the drums.

You're playing on the drums

You're playing on the drum kit, drum kit

Playing on the drum kit.

You're playing on the

We've got lots of super powers

## Lyrics

We’re back with the rhythm of the race

Keep up the energy and pace

If you do you win through

And all of the band would too

Just try your best at everything that you do.

Maybe you’ll need a little luck

But you don’t ever think of giving up

And me and you

Who me?

Tang too

I agree!

And here’s what I think is true

Just try your best at everything that you do.

You can really do it if you try

You can really do it if you try

When it comes to the test don’t worry about the rest

Just you woo woo woo woo!

And try your best at everything that you do.

Heart beats fast every second going past

Waiting for the whistle at the line

Are you the fastest, the strongest, the fittest?

When you set a zinging record in the time

Get ready

Get ready!

On your marks!

On your marks!

Get set!

Get set!

Whoooooooa!

You can really do it if you try

You can really do it if you try

When it comes to the test don’t worry about the rest

Just you woo woo woo woo!

And try your best at everything that you do.

You can really do it if you try

You can really do it if you try

When it comes to the test don’t worry about the rest

Just you woo woo woo woo!

And try your best at everything that you do

And try your best at everything that you do

And try your best at everything that you do.
Gravel and Granite's Quiet Night In

Written by

Gravel and Granite's Quiet Night In is the 21st episode from Series 1.

## Plot

It is night-time in the ZingZillas clubhouse. Tang decides to tell Drum the story of Gravel and Granite's Quiet Night In. It was a day when there was no Big Zing at tall. This was a problem for Gravel and Granite, as that meant no coconut clock and so no coconuts to count. So Gravel and Granite have nothing to do.

Gravel suggests they have a quiet night in. Just then Todd joins them and suggests Gravel and Granite watch their favourite shows, eat snacks and invite some of their friends over. Gravel and Granite think this is a marvellous idea. However, they have no TV.

Todd goes to DJ Loose and borrows one. They watch a Big Zing, 'Our Island Home' performed with Gamelan Orchestra, Lila Cita, and Silat dancer, Cecily Fay. Gravel and Granite then persuade Todd to lend them his sofa and watch another Big Zing - Julian Lloyd Webber playing the cello with the ZingZillas.

Gravel and Granite then send Todd to get popcorn, so goes off, and comes back utterly exhausted. Then they all watch Hiten Ryu Daiko, the Japanese Taiko drummers; play 'Making A Big Noise'.

Afterwards DJ and the Beach Byrds arrive to party! But Todd has fallen asleep on the sofa, so they watch a quiet Big Zing on the television: 'Drift Away' which features Catrin Finch, the harpist. The gentle music sends everybody to sleep. Gravel and Granite are the last to fall asleep, happy that their quiet night in has been such a success.

Tang explains to Drum that when then Stones close their eyes the whole Island goes to sleep. He looks down and sees that Drum has fallen asleep, as have Zak and Panzee. So Tang goes to the balcony and says a last goodnight to Todd before heading off to bed.

Big Zings:

* Our Island Home (From Welcome Beach Byrds)
* Playing Together Makes It Twice as Fun (From Sticker Trouble)
* Making a Big Noise (From Disappearing Drum)
* Drift Away (From Sweet Dreams)

## Trivia

* No one said goodnight to Todd
* This is the 1st ever compliation episode.

True ending

A true ending is the best ending in an entire work.

Once you get this ending, there's nothing else to do but get the other conclusions or whatever items you may have missed, that is if you want 100% completion.

Compare Satisfactory Conclusion for series finales or the only ending in a work. Inversions are Gainax Ruined the Ending (for weird endings) and No Ending at All (for no ending).

Since spoilers are ahead, it is recommended you watch the series or play the games below before reading this page.

## Examples

* *Dayshift at Freddy's*: The best ending happens if you manage not to end up in jail or get killed (since for a "proper" ending you can't be fired).
	+ Same with *Dayshift at Freddy's 2*.
* *Five Nights at Freddy's* itself. The last (canon) game has the business shuttered and your own pizzeria burn down.
* *Doki Doki Literature Club*, should you find all the photos.
	+ Getting rid of Monika before you start the game will *not* earn you the true ending. If you keep Sayori alive, she will know everything Monika did, and drive herself to suicide.
* The "pacifist" route of Undertale, should you not take the Genocide route first.
	+ And even then you get the option of staying or returning home.
* Samurai Jack really earned this trope after 13 years (the last episode of the CN run was in 2004), since Jack *finally* beat Aku after 16 years (the first episode aired in 2001). The only downside was the loss of Ashi, though that was more due to Aku being her father.
* Batman: The Brave and the Bold wasn't cancelled by the network, but on the developers' terms, via an episode that had Batman jump multiple sharks and ultimately get the in-universe version canned. Because Bat-Mite was, according to the tone of the new show, a "silly character", he disappeared from existence, the last animated appearance he had for a few years.
	+ Beware the Batman was this for every (canon) Batman series that aired on *Cartoon Network*, but it wasn't the end for the franchise as a whole, as Batman continues to appear on Teen Titans Go!.

TBA.
Bubble Trouble

Written by

Bubble Trouble is the 12th episode from Series 1.

## Plot

It is extremely hot on ZingZilla Island. In fact, Zak is hotter than hot with extra hot on top. It is too hot to even think of a Big Zing so he takes a big swig of his lemonade instead. He should really be drinking water instead on such a hot day but he likes the way the bubbles tickle the back of his nose. DJ Loose calls up and suggests the ZingZillas go to the glade to meet his piano playing guest - it might give them some ideas for the Big Zing.

The ZingZillas all meet up at the glade and watch a performance by boogie woogie player Elio Pace. Boogie woogie is a style of music you can play on the piano and is music for dancing. The ZingZillas decide that the Big Zing should be a boogie woogie song but every time Zak opens his mouth he hiccups and produces a stream of bubbles. They enlist the help of Todd who is sure to have a cure for hiccups.

He tries to shock Zak, but that doesn't work and when he makes a scary face that just makes Zak laugh and produce even more bubbles. With no Zak there can be no Big Zing so Tang suggests he plays the keyboards instead, but Zak can't play the keyboards and doesn't have time to learn how to play - he might have to miss the Big Zing!

The Zingzillas go back to the glade to watch the boogie woogie, where Elio tries to help Zak play a simple tune on the keyboard which is just right for the Big Zing.

Guest performer: Elio Pace

Big Zing: Boogie Woogie Bubbly Time

## Trivia

* This song shares most similarities of the elements with the following 6 pop songs sounding similar to it, "Don't Wanna Know" by Adam Levine and Kendrick Lamar, "We Can Funk!" by Prince & The Revolution, "Feels" by Calvin Harris, Pharrell, Katy Perry and Big Sean Anderson, “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke, Pharrell and Clifford T.I. Harris (in which this song is a reminisce of the key in Sir James’ interlude), "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars, and mostly a reminiscence of "Crazy" (from the 1999 CD Un-Break My Heart), played by Sir James (on his flute; that was the inspiration for the interlude).
* Sir James Galway plays a melodic slow version towards the beginning and changes this to an upbeat, jazzy tune (which is the original song), on his golden flute.
* In the 8-bar-interlude, Galway improvises an elaborate interlude on his flute; thus, he adds a d3 trill on the 3rd beat of the first of the 8 bars, for it is the trilling flute interlude we find here.
Will It Work?

Will It Work? is a song that was sung by Todd with backing from the Moaning Stones.

## Lyrics

Will it work?

Never fear you've a genius here

Will it work?

Never fear I'll amaze you

Will it work?

Never fear you've a genius here

Will it work, will it work?

Will it work?

Yes it will.

ScatZilla!

Written by

ScatZilla! is the 5th episode from Series 1.

## Plot

Tang, Panzee and Drum have come up with a great tune for the Big Zing but Zak just can't think of any words to go with it. He suggests he plays the only instrument he can play instead - the harmonica - but Tang points out that Zak has lost it! Zak is at a complete loss and announces that he will not be in the Big Zing.

This is a disaster so Todd sets to work making a new instrument for Zak to play instead. In the meantime DJ Loose introduces Zak to Cleo Laine and the art of scatting. Zak loves the way she makes up special words which match the music and decides that he's going to Scat in the Big Zing. Before he has a chance to practise though Todd arrives with his newly-invented instrument.

The wheezing sound coming from the instrument is so loud Todd doesn't hear Zak explaining that he doesn't need an instrument now - he's going to scat instead. But it's too late, Todd has wrapped the instrument around Zak and left him to practise. Luckily DJ Loose comes to the rescue again and helps untangle Zak from the odd instrument.

Zak starts to practise scatting but just can't seem to get it right. When the machine begins to make even more odd, but rhythmic, sounds Zak starts to mimic it and quickly finds his scatting vibe. The other ZingZillas love the sound of his scatting and think it's perfect for the Big Zing.

Guest performers: Cleo Laine, John Dankworth & Friends

## Plot

When Todd uses a balloon to hold a lever up on his machine, it gives Panzee an idea for a huffing and puffing song. Drum suggests they sing a song about the three little pigs and the wolf who huffed and puffed and blew their house down.

In the glade, DJ introduces Mukul Acharya who plays the harmonium. DJ explains that it has bellows which blow air into it. Tang thinks it is perfect for a huffing and puffing song.

## Plot

The ZingZillas wake up and ask Todd for an idea for the day's song. Todd uses his ideas machine but it starts to shake. When he tries to stop it shaking, he holds it by a pair of reins. Drum laughs as she thinks it looks like Todd is riding a horse! The others think that riding horses is a good idea for a song. Zak's pretend horse will be the fastest, Panzee's will be the most beautiful and Tang's will be the cleverest. Drum wants hers to make clippity clop noises - but she doesn't want them to be pretend noises. She wants them to be real.

In the glade, Andrew Budden plays the French horn. It's hunting horn type sound is perfect for a song about horses!

The ZingZillas gather together in the clubhouse to rehearse their new song Giddy Up and Go! They love playing the song and pretending to ride horses. But when they stop playing, they notice Drum is still sad. She wants to make real clippity cloppity noises! What can the ZingZillas do?

While she is watching the coconut fall, Panzee has an idea. She dashes off to the Moaning Stones Beach and borrows two halves of a spare coconut. She brings them back to the clubhouse and gives them to Drum. Now Drum can make clippity cloppity noises and the ZingZillas are ready to play!

## Lyrics

At the island jungle fair

In the balmy summery air

You can join the jungle crew

With an ice cold lolly or two

So dance with daisy chains in your hair

Hook a duck and win a prize

Lots of laughter to share

All the fun of the fair!

At the island jungle fair

At the island jungle fair

In the balmy summery air

Balmy summery air

You can join the jungle crew

Join the jungle crew

With an ice cold lolly or two

So dance with daisy chains in your hair

Hook a duck and win a prize

Lots of laughter to share

All the fun of the fair! Yay!

## Italian Libretto and English Lyrics

(THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH STANZA IN ITALIAN IS IN *ITALICS*.)

Voi che sapete, che cosa é amor

*You know what love is, tell me, what can it be*

*|: My ladies, what is this yearning inside my heart? :|*

Quello ch'io provo vi ri diro

E per me nuovo capir nol so

Sento affetto, pien de desir

Ch'ora è miletto

Ch'ora è matir

*Can I survive this? Will it endure?*

*There is a sickness, what will cure it?*

*This is his obsession first, seized in my brain*

*It was passionate first, now I felt pain*

Gelo e poi sento

L'alma avvampar

E in un momento, torno a gelar

Ricerco un bene, fuori de me

Non sochi il tiene, non so cos'è

*I froze first, then added fuel to the fire*

*I start to shake nervously with seething desire*

*Who knows the secrets? What is their key?*

*I long for something, what is this possibly about?*

Sospiro e gemor senza voler

Palpimo e tremo senza saper

Non trovo pace notte nè di

Ma pur mi piace languir cosi!

*I wonder what happened when my brain reels*

*I thought I will die!*

*By the day it haunts me at night,*

*The torment is tinged with delight!*

Voi che sapete che cosa è amor

*You know what love is, tell me, what can it be*

*|: My ladies, what is this yearning inside my heart? (X3) :|*

Panzee's Photograph

Written by

Panzee's Photograph is the 23rd episode from Series 1.

## Plot

Panzee wants the ZingZillas to send photos of themselves to their fans. DJ has a camera and offers to take the photos for them. The only problem is that his camera battery is running low. He takes nice photos of Tang, Zak and Drum but when it's Panzee's turn she swats away a fly just as he takes the photo. The battery on the camera is now completely flat and he can't take an alternative photo of Panzee. He assures her that it will be good and while he prints them up he suggests they go and listen to the fun and funky sounds of Dr Lonnie Smith playing the Hammond organ over in the glade. The ZingZillas love the sound and decide to do a Big Zing all about fun and friendship.

DJ Loose has printed all the photographs and Zak, Tang and Drum are really pleased with theirs. Panzee however is very upset with hers and thinks she looks silly - she doesn't want to send it to her fans. The others offer not to send their either but Panzee realises they are being really good friends and can't expect them not to send their photos just because she doesn't like hers. She agrees for DJ to print up lots of copies. While they wait they rehearse their fun and upbeat song about friendship but Panzee is so upset about her photo she finds it hard to be upbeat.

Luckily though, Todd has an old camera and offers to take a new photo of Panzee to cheer her up. He can only take one photo on his old camera and while the ZingZillas are helping Panzee look her best he accidentally takes the photo. It's a disaster. Instead of being a nice photo of Panzee it's going to be a silly photo of all of them falling over. Panzee is even more upset than ever - until she sees Todd's photo.

Guest performers: Dr Lonnie Smith, Jamire Williams & Jonathan Kreisberg

Jerking like a robot with electronic feet

Dancing like an android to body-popping beats

Jerking like a robot with electronic feet

Dancing like an android to body-popping beats.

When you're grooving along with me

You can move technologically

But you dance with electric heat

This sound you've found

A new robotic beat.

Jerking like a robot with electronic feet

Dancing like an android to body-popping beats

Jerking like a robot with electronic feet

Dancing like an android to body-popping beats.

When you're grooving along with me

You can move technologically

But you dance with electric heat

This sound you've found

A new robotic beat.

When you're grooving along with me

You can move technologically

But you dance with electric heat

This sound you've found

When you're grooving along with me

When you're grooving

You can move technologically

Technologically

But you dance with electric heat

Ooh-ooh-ooh!

This sound you've found

A new robotic beat.
Tang's Hooter

Written by

Tang's Hooter is the 24th episode from Series 1.

## Plot

Tang has been working on a quiet and gentle song for the Big Zing and can't wait to play it to Zak. Zak though gives Tang a loud and parping hooter as a present and really wants him to play it in the Big Zing. Tang doesn't think the hooter will sound right with his quiet and gentle piece but doesn't have the heart to tell Zak and so he decides to hide the hooter instead.

Over in the glade all the ZingZillas and DJ Loose like listening to Sir James Galway playing the flute. He plays a gentle piece of music followed by a more upbeat, funky and jazzy piece. Tang thinks the gentle style of flute playing would go beautifully with his gentle Big Zing song. However, Zak thinks they don't need the flute because they have the hooter. He can't believe his ears when Tang admits to 'losing' the hooter.

Zak thinks they must have it for the Big Zing so they all head off searching for it. Todd finds the hooter and returns it to Tang. Tang reluctantly takes it and decides to try and hide it somewhere in the coconut hut instead. DJ catches him in the act and advises that he should tell Zak the truth.

Before Tang gets a chance to do it though, Todd finds the hooter again and Zak rushes off with it back to the clubhouse for the rehearsal. Tang is very unhappy with how the song sounds with the hooter and finally tells Zak the truth. Zak is really upset about Tang hiding the hooter and declares that if there is no hooter in the Big Zing then there will be no Zak. Tang seeks the advice of DJ Loose again, who suggests that he changes the song to go with the hooter sound - loud and fast instead of quiet and gentle.

Guest performer: Sir James Galway

Instrumental numbers: A Ballad and a Touch of Jazz

Big Zing: Do You Want to Have Fun?

## Trivia

* Tang said goodnight to Todd in this episode.
* Sir James Galway plays 2 versions of Do You Want to Have Fun?, first as a slow, melodic ballad, and then as an upbeat, funky and jazzy number (which in fact is the true version we'll hear).
* The sound of Sir James Galway's flute has a silvery, ravishing tone, even though his vibrato diminished 2 notches down; when he demonstrated the sound to DJ Loose, he plays a high-register note.

## Lyrics

Turn it up plug it in now the fun begins

With your electric guitar

Strap it on, strike a pose, everyone knows

You’re a Zilla superstar

Rocking riffs come alive now you’re energised

And your hands are lightning fast

Practice hard for the show and you will go far

On your electric guitar.

Hooks and riffs ignite your soul

Once you start rocking you can‘t let go

A thousand Big Zings in your repertoire

Cos all you want to do is play your electric guitar.

Ha!

Strum the chords for the song and you can't go wrong

When you're playing in this band

Super quick with your pick on the fretboard, oh

Like fire in your hand

A waa-waa and a whammy bar to shake

For a rocky whine and wail

All the pedals made of metal lying on the floor

You can show us something more.

Hooks and riffs ignite your soul

Once you start rocking you can‘t let go

A thousand Big Zings in your repertoire

Cos all you want to do is play your electric guitar.

Ha!

Plug it in, let the fun begin

Plug it in, let the fun begin

Plug it in, let the fun begin

Begin, begin, begin.

You're a Big Zing supersta-a-a-ar

On your electric guita-a-a-ar

A Big Zing supersta-a-a-ar

On your electric guita-a-ar.

Hooks and riffs ignite your soul

Once you start rocking you can‘t let go

A thousand Big Zings in your repertoire

Cos all you want to do is play your electric guitar.

Oh, yeah.

## Lyrics

Today as I lay on my bed

I thought all about that you said

And here's what came into my head, thinking of you

I looked at the sadness it makes

A moment is all that it takes

So Panzee for all my mistakes, there is a word

I have heard.

Sorry

Panzee, I'm sorry

I know I was wrong, so this is a song I've written for you

What could I do?

Sorry

Panzee, I'm sorry

I know I was wrong, so this is a song I've written for you.

I guess you'll be needing some space

But please put a smile on your face

I'm sorry I trod on your bass, that was unkind

I'll think about all that I do

And save all my snuggles for you

So here's what I'm saying is true, I'll be your friend

Till the end.

Sorry

Panzee, I'm sorry

I know I was wrong, so this is a song I've written for you

What could I do?

Sorry

Panzee, I'm sorry

I know I was wrong, so this is a song I've written for you

I've written for you.
Welcome Beach Byrds

Written by

Welcome Beach Byrds is the 14th episode from Series 1.

## Plot

It's bedtime and Tang tells the story of when the Beach Byrds first arrived on ZingZilla Island. Todd was supposed to be showing the Beach Byrds around the island but they'd already headed off before he arrived at the coconut hut. Todd couldn't find them anywhere but the Beach Byrds managed to find the Moaning Stones and their way to the glade, where they watched a gamelan performance.

They even managed to find their way to the clubhouse where they joined in with the ZingZillas' rehearsal. They were having a lovely holiday and couldn't wait to see the whole island. The Beach Byrds were such lovely singers the ZingZillas decided to ask them to join in with the Big Zing, but they didn't know where they'd gone and the Beach Byrds had left their map of the island behind.

The ZingZillas had to find Todd so he could help them find the Beach Byrds. It was a disaster - the Beach Byrds were wandering around the island without a map, Todd was chasing round the jungle looking for the Beach Byrds and the ZingZillas were chasing after Todd. Eventually the ZingZillas found Todd and together they found a trail of Beach Byrd feathers leading all the way back to the coconut hut.

Here the Beach Byrds had settled in and decided they were going to stay and live on the island. DJ Loose was thrilled because he now had some help keeping the coconut hut tidy and the ZingZillas were thrilled because the Beach Byrds could join in with every Big Zing.
