Keep Your Castanets

Written by

Keep Your Castanets is the 17th episode from Series 1.

## Plot

Drum has lost Yapple again, but she finally finds her wrapped around the banana phone when it rings. Tang answers the phone - its DJ asking them to meet him in the glade.

The ZingZillas enjoy watching a flamenco performance with Spanish guitar and a flamenco dancer. Drum is particularly enamoured with the clickety-clackety castanet playing, and the flamenco dancer, Verena, throws some castanets up to her. The ZingZillas decide to do a flamenco Big Zing with Tang playing flamenco guitar, Drum playing castanets and Panzee dancing the flamenco.

They head to the clubhouse to rehearse. The song sounds great and they can't wait to tell DJ about it so they head off to find him. Before they go, Drum finds a safe place to leave her new castanets. She puts them on the windowsill and asks Yapple to look after them, but they fall from the sill and land on Todd's head.

When the ZingZillas return to the clubhouse, Drum can't understand where the castanets have gone and the others can't believe she's lost them. Drum realises they may have fallen into Todd's garden and when she goes to ask Todd, they fall off his head as he bends to listen to her. Drum has her castanets back and so the ZingZillas rehearse again.

This time Panzee twirls Drum around, and as she does so the castanets accidentally fly out of the clubhouse and land in Todd's postbox. The ZingZillas can't believe Drum has lost the castanets again. Without the castanets there can be no Big Zing, so Todd sets out to find them one more time.

Todd is worried. He knows that the ZingZillas will be very disappointed by the news. He decides to disguise himself as Auntie Dot, if he pretends to be her, the ZingZillas will not be disappointed. Outside, dressed as Auntie, he meets Tang. Tang wants Auntie to say hello to Todd. 'Auntie' tells Tang Todd is on the beach. After changing back into Todd, Todd races off to the beach where Tang takes him to meet Auntie! However they hear bagpipes and Tang goes to the glade to listen to the music.

The ZingZillas agree that bagpipes are perfect for their welcome Auntie Dot song. However, they cannot practice while Dot is downstairs so Zak persuades 'Auntie' to visit the Moaning Stones. The Stones tell 'Auntie' that everybody will be at the Big Zing and Todd realises that he cannot be Auntie Dot and Todd at the same time. He confesses to the disappointed ZingZillas.

Then, at the last minute Auntie Dot appears on a banana car, driven by the Beach Byrds who found her in the jungle. Now Auntie Dot will get to see the Big Zing. The ZingZillas play the Big Zing with Martin McKay on bagpipes. Auntie Dot thoroughly enjoys the show. Todd is very relieved!

Written by

A Great Place to Live is the 11th episode from Series 1.

## Plot

Zak discovers Todd stuck behind a load of boxes in his cave. It transpires that Todd has run out of room so Zak suggests he moves into the clubhouse with the ZingZillas. The others think this is a great idea until Todd starts to join in with their Big Zing rehearsal. They need to rehearse without being disturbed so the ZingZillas decide to move to the coconut hut.

When the Beach Byrds hear the ZingZillas rehearsing loudly they decide to move out of the coconut hut. Soon the whole island is on the move. Without the Beach Byrds, though, the ZingZillas think the coconut hut is too quiet so they move to the glade where they watch James Knight playing saxophone. Todd feels a little lonely on his own in the clubhouse so he decides to go to the coconut hut. The ZingZillas feel sorry that they left Todd on his own so they move back to the clubhouse and the Beach Byrds think Todd's cave is too small and too dark so they decide to move back to the coconut hut - everyone is on the move again.

Even the Moaning Stones think it would be nice to move away from their beach but it is nice and quiet and they need to be near the coconut clock so they can count coconuts. They change their mind when everyone else decides to head for their beach and find the perfect spot out in Todd's garden.

Meanwhile the ZingZillas, the Beach Byrds and Todd have arrived at the beach and quickly realise that without the Moaning Stones the last coconut won't be counted and if the last coconut isn't counted there will be no Big Zing. Todd grabs hold of the coconut clock and manages to stop the coconut from falling until the ZingZillas get the Moaning Stones back to the beach.

Pirates

Pirates is a song that was performed by the ZingZillas in the episode Pirate Day featuring The Hornpipers.

## Lyrics

We're dressing up for Pirate Day and that's the reason why

We're putting on our pirate hats and patch upon our eye

We're hunting for the treasure chest for jewellery and gold

And jigging in the rigging like the piraters of old.

Oh pirates, we're dressing up to be good

Pirates, a-sailing on the sea

Pirates, we're dressing up to be good

Pirates, a-sailing on the sea. Hey!

It's time to weigh the anchor, hoist the sail and swab the deck

We'll journey round the island till the sun begins to set

And everyone we meet will want to join the pirate song

So here's an opportunity for you to sing along.

Pirates, we're dressing up to be good

Pirates, a-sailing on the sea

Pirates, we're dressing up to be good

Pirates, a-sailing on the sea. Hey!

Pirates, we're dressing up to be good

Pirates, a-sailing on the sea

Pirates, we're dressing up to be good

Pirates, a-sailing on the sea. Hey!

Squeaky Boots

Written by

Squeaky Boots is the 9th episode from Series 1.

## Plot

Panzee's new boots have arrived and she can't wait to try them on. As soon as she puts them on though the boots start to squeak and the squeaky sound is very annoying.

DJ Loose introduces the ZingZillas to the sounds of bluegrass. A bluegrass band Kickin' Alice is accompanied by a troop of Appalachian cloggers. The ZingZillas love the sound and Panzee particularly likes the clogging. They decide to play a Bluegrass inspired Big Zing with Panzee clogging too.

Panzee wants to do the clogging in her new boots, but the others can't stand the squeaking sound coming from her boots. Panzee jumps to the wrong conclusion that they just didn't like her dancing. She rushes off to practice somewhere else and the others realise that if they can't practise properly they won't be ready in time for the Big Zing!

On the way to the coconut hut Panzee passes Todd who thinks his gate has started squeaking again. The Beach Byrds think Panzee's squeaking boots are a mouse and the constant squeaking really tests Granite's nerves! After a short practice at the coconut hut, Panzee thinks she's ready for the Big Zing and heads back to the clubhouse to show the others.

Once again though the squeaking of Panzee's boots stops the rehearsal and Panzee thinks she needs to practice even more and heads off to the Moaning Stones' beach. This is just too much for Granite and he blows his top. He explains that nobody likes her new boots.

A very sad Panzee heads back to the clubhouse but before she gets there bumps into Todd who is still trying to fix his gate. Todd thinks he may have a solution for her problem.

Like a Firefly (song)

## Lyrics

I sometimes lie awake at night time

And if I'm looking at the right time

I'll maybe see a shooting star shine

Like a firefly

How wonderful the world of space is

The glisten of the moon on faces

Reflecting from a calm oasis

Like a firefly.

All the different stars and planets

Whirling in the night

Time will pass, I'll make it last

Gazing at the wondrous light

Jupiter, Mars and Venus

The milky way and moon between us

Every twinkle in the night

I have seen this like a firefly.

All the different stars and planets

Whirling in the night

Time will pass, I'll make it last

Gazing at the wondrous light

Maybe you are gazing too

Way up there in the skies

Think of me and I will be

Watching all the stars like fireflies.

## Lyrics

Under the clouds we glide

On a magical carpet ride

We fly on the breeze, the jungles and trees

And over the ocean wide

Oh, what a wondrous sight

On our magical carpet flight

We haven't a care, so high in the air

It's fun to be free, so magically.

Under the clouds we glide

On a magical carpet ride

We fly on the breeze, the jungles and trees

And over the ocean wide

Oh, what a wondrous sight

On our magical carpet flight

We haven't a care, so high in the air

It's fun to be free, so magically.

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh.

Tang explains that everyone is different. The ZingZillas don't have tails except for Drum. Drum is thrilled that she is different. The ZingZillas decide to write a song called Everyone's Different.

In the glade, DJ introduces Julian Smith, who plays the soprano saxophone. Panzee is surprised that the saxophone is straight - she thought that saxophones were curved like Laverne's. DJ explains that it may look different but it makes just as beautiful a sound. Panzee listens and agrees. It is the perfect instrument for their song.

Panzee rushes into the clubhouse and tells the others all about the soprano sax, which is the same but different. It's perfect for the song! Together, the ZingZillas practise their song. The ZingZillas agree that while they are all different, they're all ready to to play - together!

## Lyrics

Hush, listen to the wind

Blowing through the jungle trees

Through the flowers and leaves

Hush, listen to the wind

Rolling over land and sea

As it blows on me.

Through the windows

Looking out on where the wind blows

Calm and gentle

Shimmering along the shore.

Hush, listen to the wind

Making all the jungle sway

By the island bay

Hush, listen to the wind

Whooshing from the sky above

It's the sound I love.

Hush, listen to the wind

Making all the jungle sway

By the island bay

Hush, listen to the wind

Whooshing from the sky above

It's the sound I love

Whooshing from the sky above

It's the sound I love.

Julian also asked him to give a cello sticker to Panzee. Panzee is over the moon and cherishes the sticker. Up in the clubhouse the ZingZillas decide to do a Big Zing all about playing together. The song will feature the special duet between Panzee and Julian but Panzee just can't seem to get it right. Looking at the cello sticker gives her more confidence and she manages to play the piece perfectly. She cannot wait to show off her sticker and rushes around the island to show everyone.

Panzee doesn't notice the sticker falling off and is devastated when the Moaning Stones point out that the sticker is missing. No one knows it but the sticker is now stuck to Todd's back. When the ZingZillas try to rehearse the song again Panzee just can't get her duet piece right without the sticker. They all decide to search the island for it; with no sticker there will be no duet and with no duet there will be no Big Zing!

You're ready to start again.

Come gather round with me

Listen and you will see

You don't have to take things quite as fast

Pause for a moment, make it last

Jumping around is fun

But pause for a moment rest and then

You're ready to start again.

Down the street with a pedal at your feet

With a pedal at your feet in the driving seat

Fulled by peel with a funky furry feel

With a funky furry feel to the steering wheel.

New banana car it’s my new banana car

I’ll be driving very far in my new banana car

New banana car doesn’t matter you are

I’ll be looking like a star in my new banana car.

Left and right with a super flashing light

With a super flashing light you can see at night

Sleek and fast with the jungle whizzing past

With the jungle whizzing past here it is at last.

New banana car it’s my new banana car

I’ll be driving very far in my new banana car

New banana car doesn’t matter you are

I’ll be looking like a star in my new banana car.

Banana, banana, banana car

Banana, banana, banana car

Banana, banana, banana car

Banana, banana, banana car.

New banana car it’s my new banana car

I’ll be driving very far in my new banana car

New banana car doesn’t matter you are

I’ll be looking like a star in my new banana car.

New banana car it’s my new banana car

I’ll be driving very far in my new banana car

New banana car doesn’t matter you are

I’ll be looking like a star in my new banana car.

## Lyrics

A prince upon a trusty steed was riding through the day

When all at once, he thought he spied a princess far away.

So beautiful, so elegant, he yearned to know her name.

He told her that he loved her, and the princess felt the same...

**THE PRINCESS**
*(SINGS ITALIAN LYRIC)*

**THE PRINCE**
*(SINGS ITALIAN LYRIC)*

But how to reach the maiden when the tower was so high?

The walls were made of concrete and they reached up to the sky!

When from his side, the prince produced a special silver sword,

Its wizardry could help him the free the princess he adored.
*Ah!*

And when he waved it, it revealed its magic powers!
*Ah!*

A lightning flash had sprung the princess from the tower!

**THE PRINCESS**
*(SINGS ITALIAN LYRIC)*

**THE PRINCESS AND THE PRINCE**
*(THE BOTH SERENADE EMOTIONALLY IN ITALIAN)*

Their dreams were filled with promise,

Their eyes were full of laughter.

They rode into the sunset,

And were happily ever after!

* This song shares most similarities with operas and operettas that we all know - for instance "The Magic Flute" by Mozart, "The Tales of Hoffman" by Offenbach, "Carmen" by Bizet, "The Barber of Seville" by Rossini, and "Tannhauser" by Wagner, just to name a few examples.

## Lyrics

I'm not scared cos I’m a brave ZingZilla

I don't jump at every little crash

There's no way to frighten this gorilla

Even if you slam and whoosh and smash.

Just be brave, look around

When you listen to a sound

Cos I know it's just a noise, it's just a noise (it's just a noise)

And the answer is clear

There's no need for me to fear

Cos I know it's just a noise, it's just a noise.

Ah-ah.

There was once a time when sudden voices

Made me jump and gave me such a fright

But when you know the source of all the noises

Everything is gonna be alright.

Just be brave, look around

When you listen to a sound

Cos I know it's just a noise, it's just a noise (it's just a noise)

And the answer is clear

There's no need for me to fear

Cos I know it's just a noise, it's just a noise.

Just be brave, look around

When you listen to a sound

Cos I know it's just a noise, it's just a noise (it's just a noise)

And the answer is clear

There's no need for me to fear

Cos I know it's just a noise, it's just a noise.

## Plot

The ZingZillas ask Todd for an idea for the day's song. Todd uses his ideas machine but it takes too long for Zak. He wants it to work faster! Suddenly he has a brilliant idea. They can play a song about being fast. Before others have a chance to say anything Zak dashes off to the glade. Fast.

In the glade, Zak sees Bogdan Vacarescu playing the violin - really fast. This appeals to Zak. As soon as Bogdan has finished playing Zak dashes back to the clubhouse to practise his faster faster faster song.

The ZingZillas gather together in the clubhouse to rehearse Zak's song. Each time they try to play it Zak wants them to play it faster and faster. Eventually they play it so fast that they can't keep up and they have to start all over again. Zak tells them they just need practise. The others think Zak is being too fast. Zak carries on getting faster and faster. Eventually he is jumping around so much he wears himself out and flops down on a beanbag. It doesn't look like he can carry on - and if Zak can't sing the song there'll be no Big Zing!

Panzee comes up with the solution. Zak needs to pause for a moment. So Zak takes deep breaths and does what Panzee says. In a few moments he starts to feel better. He realises that you can't be fast all the time, sometimes you have to pause for a moment. The ZingZillas now have a great idea for the song and they have a lead singer who isn't exhausted. They're ready to play!

Todd's Auntie Dot is spending the evening on ZingZilla Island so Panzee has organised a special show for her. There will be songs by the ZingZillas plus a special act by the Moaning Stones, Granite and Gravel. Todd is master of ceremonies and quickly starts the show with a whack on his big gong - everyone, including Auntie Dot, shakes. Panzee desperately wants the show to be perfect but is already worried that Todd's over-enthusiastic gonging may spoil it. There is no time to worry though because the ZingZillas are up first.

They have all been practising and are all ready so, as the island erupts with fireworks, the ZingZillas rush onto the stage to perform their first song - the 'Rock Guitar' song. Zak plays his 'Rock Broom' throughout and Auntie Dot absolutely loves it. Panzee is thrilled the show started so well but quickly becomes concerned again when Todd does further over-enthusiastic whacks on his gong whilst introducing Granite and Gravel's mango-blowing act.

They have to try and blow a mango into the back of a football net. Granite goes first and his gentle blow rolls the mango into the back of the net. Gravel, however, gives a massively powerful blow and not only blows the net away but also blows Auntie Dot off her chair.

The show is otherwise going really well and with only one song left, Panzee is confident that nothing can go wrong - until Auntie Dot requests a performance by her favourite nephew Todd.

Let me tell you all about the noises

If you want it loud the only choice was

Beating on the drum

Beating on the drum

Beating loud and proudly on the big drum.

I can feel the island shaking under

Booming like the rumble of the thunder

Beating on the drum

Beating on the drum

Beating loud and proudly on the big drum.

When the sound bounces all around

Till the noise surrounds all the gang

It’s so fine that this heart of mine

Is beating all the time

To that bang, bang, bang.

Yelling through the island all about it

Echoes all around me when you shout it

Beating on the drum

Beating on the drum

Beating loud and proudly on the big drum.

Beating on the drum

Hey hey

Beating on the drum

Hey hey

Beating loud and proudly on the big drum.
To the Beat of a Drum

Written by

To the Beat of a Drum is the 11th episode from Series 3.

## Plot

The ZingZillas wake up and ask Todd for an idea for the day's song. However, Todd's machine isn't working properly and is so noisy that the ZingZillas can't hear what Todd is saying. He explains that he has to tie the belt off to the arch and the ZingZillas think he is saying he needs them to 'march'. This gets them thinking about a marching song. But what sort of music is good for a marching song?

In the glade, Tang sees the Hertfordshire Showband perform a marching version of When the Saints Go Marching In. Tang loves their uniforms and the way they can march around with their instruments. He dashes back to the others.

The ZingZillas gather together in the clubhouse to practise their marching song To the Beat of a Drum. It is a brilliant song to march to and Tang, Panzee and Zak are soon marching around the clubhouse to the music. But Drum is sad. She can't march around because she has no way of carrying her drum and playing it at the same time. This is a problem! Tang wonders how Drum can belt out a beat. This gives Zak an idea and he rushes off to see Todd.

Todd won't let Zak have his spare belt from the arch because the machine will fall apart, so he decides the only belt is from his trousers. Zak thinks it will be perfect for Drum to carry her drum and play it at the same time (apart from the trousers falling down from Todd without the trouser-belt). Now they are ready to play!

Guest performers: Hertfordshire Showband

A band of primate friends play music in their tropical island paradise and meet different musical guests. Zak offers to look after DJ Loose's aloha flower for the day.

Zak takes the aloha flower and leaves it in the shade in the clubhouse, but he forgets to keep it watered. The ZingZillas gather in the glade to hear Beats of Polynesia, a Hawaiian group. Meanwhile, the sun has moved and as it shines directly on the flower, the flower wilts. DJ is due to get back soon, so in a panic Zak snatches up the aloha flower and dashes off to hide it. He hides the flower, but Todd discovers it. Todd persuades Zak to water the aloha flower. Zak does so, and it immediately starts to perk up. Zak remembers that was the other rule! Keep it watered! He dashes back to the coconut hut with the aloha flower just as DJ arrives.

Everywhere you go

Everything you do

Listen to the sounds

There’s always something new

Whales in the waves

Swimming in the sea

Noises from afar

Calling out to me.

Birds among the clouds

Circling the trees

See the little bug

Rushing through the leaves

Noises from below

Noises from above

There's so many sounds that I love.

Everywhere you go

Everything you do

Listen to the sounds

There’s always something new

Noises from below

Noises from above

There's so many sounds that I love.

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

Aaah.

## Lyrics

Summer days when you're swinging away with the wind in your hair

You and I, not a cloud in the sky and we haven't a care

Feel the sand running under your hand, looking out to the sea

Life's a dream with the rest of the team of the island and me.

Just relax, feel the sun on your backs, close your eyes in the shade

Hear the sound as it echoes around drifting up from the glade

Start to strum, tap the beat on the drum, we can think of a rhyme

By the oasis, playing your bass, it's a wonderful time.

Cos it's a hap-hap-happy, it's a hap-hap-happy day

Yes, it's a hap-hap-happy, it's a hap-hap-happy day

When your head starts shaking and your foot starts tapping away

Maybe you'll be just as happy as me today.

Summer days when you're swinging away with the wind in your hair

You and I, not a cloud in the sky and we haven't a care

Feel the sand running under your hand, looking out to the sea

Life's a dream with the rest of the team of the island and me.

Cos it's a hap-hap-happy, it's a hap-hap-happy day

Yes, it's a hap-hap-happy, it's a hap-hap-happy day

When your head starts shaking and your foot starts tapping away

Maybe you'll be just as happy as me today.
Shopping (song)

Shopping is a song that was performed by the ZingZillas in the episode Shopping featuring Paul Patrick.

## Lyrics

Shopping, we’re shopping, we’re shopping at the market in the bay

Shopping, we’re shopping, no stopping for rest along the way

Driftwood and seaweed, a necklace and a holey fishing net

Shopping, we’re shopping, there’s such a lot of shopping still to get.

Have a look, have a look, have a look there's a selection

Why not have a look, have a look, have a look in this direction

Why not have a look, have a look, have a look at our collection from the shore

Have a look, have a look, have a look before you buy it

Why not have a look, have a look, have a look and you can try it

Why not have a look have a look have a look and we'll supply it to your door.

Shopping, we’re shopping, we’re shopping at the market in the bay

Shopping, we’re shopping, no stopping for rest along the way

Orange, banana, a tangerine, sultana, raisin too

Shopping, we’re shopping, there’s such a lot of shopping still to do.

Have a look, have a look, have a look there's a selection

Why not have a look, have a look, have a look in this direction

Why not have a look, have a look, have a look at our collection from the shore

Have a look, have a look, have a look before you buy it

Why not have a look, have a look, have a look and you can try it

Why not have a look have a look have a look and we'll supply it to your door.

Shopping, we’re shopping, we’re shopping at the market in the bay

Shopping, we’re shopping, no stopping for rest along the way

Shopping, shopping, shopping, it’s such a lovely shopping day.

Written by

ZingZilla Rock 'n' Rollin' is the 10th episode from Series 3.

## Plot

The ZingZillas wake up and ask Todd for an idea for the day's song. But Todd's machine is not much help. It keeps rocking and rolling all over the place. Tang has a brilliant idea. There's a type of music called rock 'n' roll - the ZingZillas can play a rock 'n' roll song! They ask Todd if he would like to dance to the song but sadly Todd has to say no. He has hurt his foot rolling a rock and has to sit down. All he can do is clap hands, wiggle his fingers and wave. The ZingZillas feel very sorry for him.

In the glade, Zak sees Feets of Amazement - a rock 'n' roll dance group. They do a dance called the jive to rock 'n' roll music. Zak thinks they look brilliant and are perfect for the ZingZillas rock 'n' roll song. He dashes back to the others. The ZingZillas gather together in the clubhouse to play ZingZilla Rock 'n' Rollin'. The ZingZillas want Todd to jive to their rock 'n' roll song but he can't dance because of his bandaged foot - what are they going to do?

Panzee really wants Todd to play in the Big Zing. Tang points out that all Todd can do is clap hands, wiggle his fingers and wave. Then Zak comes up with a brilliant solution - that's all Todd needs to do! Todd can handjive! They play the song again and Todd quickly learns how to handjive. Now they are all ready for the Big Zing.

Guest performers: Feets Of Amazement

Big Zing: ZingZilla Rock 'n' Rollin' (song)
