ZingZillas World Music Tour [DVD]

Product Information

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. 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. Panzee is thrilled and heads straight off to look for some flowers over at the Coconut Hut. The Beach Byrds are also rather taken by the twisty vase - only they think it would make an excellent fruit bowl. They offer to swap some feathers for it and Panzee agrees. With feathers in hand Panzee joins the others and DJ Loose over at the glade. They watch a wonderful performance by oompah band, the Bavarian Stompers. Meanwhile, the ZingZillas have gone into the jungle, found the cinema and are ready to watch the film. Todd, the projectionist, tells them they are going to watch their favourite Big Zings. Todd presses the remote, there is a loud explosion and the projector blows up! They can't watch any more films, but DJ appears with a solution.

The ZingZillas rehearse on the beach. They think of a song while they are listing all the fun things you can do at a fair. Zak wants to dance with bells on his ankles - just like a morris dancer - so Panzee dashes off to see if there are any in the dressing up box. The ZingZillas were having another edition of the DJ Loose Radio Show until Granite says one announcement to make: when he gets a job in a bank counting pennies, it leaves Gravel all alone on the beach. Who will count coconuts with him now?The ZingZillas gather together in the clubhouse to rehearse their new song. The lights are still flashing but the ZingZillas don't mind now. It suits their new disco song - Disco Lights. It's a great song and the ZingZillas are all ready to play the Big Zing. Nothing can go wrong!

The ZingZillas wake up and ask Todd for an idea for the day's song. But Todd's TV doesn't seem to be working properly and it keeps going wrong - making Todd sound like he is stuttering and stumbling. Although Todd can't actually communicate with them, the ZingZillas like the beat of Todd's bumpy speech and they wonder if they should do a song that has bumpy beats in it for the Big Zing. DJ Loose is the island's sloth DJ. He plays the ZingZillas music made by real people in the glade. DJ Loose is Puppeteered and voiced by Mark Jefferis and Josh Elwell. DJ Loose introduces Nuline Dance Cumbria. They are a line dancing team and they dance to country music. When they have finished Panzee decides she wants to do a line dancing song for the Big Zing. Todd's ideas machine stops working and Todd realises he is going to have to put his thinking hat on. He looks round for his thinking hat, but it has gone. Panzee suggests that while Todd looks for his hat, they should write a hat song. 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.In the glade, Zak watches Simon Mayor play the mandolin. Zak loves the sweet sound of the mandolin and thinks the ZingZillas could write a great song with a mandolin in it. But what can the words of the song be about? Later, he manages to see them in the jungle, where he thinks he already has the one man band, so it isn't as easy as Drum thinks. Now they are ready to play!

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. It is the Big Day Off on ZingZilla Island. There's no Big Zing so Panzee decides to go and play on the beach, Drum decides to play in the jungle and Zak decides to have a sleep in the clubhouse. Tang can't decide what to do, so DJ Loose suggests that Tang could put photos of all the guests who have played in the glade in his photo album. Tang thinks this is a great idea and decides to call it My Favourite Musicians. But which were his favourites? He can't decide. He asks the others and they recall their favourite performances. Tang still can't decide on his favourite. Gravel and Granite explain that they have had nothing to do all day and they want the ZingZillas to sing a Big Zing. But there is no special guest. Drum says that the ZingZillas are special and they all agree that the ZingZillas can be their own special guests! In Todd's garden Zak bumps into the post box as he can't see properly through his new shades. He decides that to help people know he is important he is going to have a fanfare played every time somebody new sees him. Todd is worried. The ZingZillas all scratch their heads, trying to come up with a solution. Then Panzee gets it! She watches Tang scratching and realises that scratching could be a really cool dance move - especially if you do it in an orangutan-type way. So Tang tries out the scratching move and it works! Now the ZingZillas are ready to play. Todd reappears on the screen. He has mended the wand and is ready to make the machine work. Panzee is thrilled Todd has fixed it. Now that the wand is mended she can borrow it and sing the Big Zing. It is time to play!The ZingZillas really love their Let's Play song and Panzee thinks they should do actions too. But the ZingZillas can't do actions because they are playing their instruments, so who can do the actions? Drum comes up with a solution - The ZingBoppers! The ZingBoppers run into the glade, where they are greeted by DJ Loose. DJ Loose starts to teach them the moves to the song.
