The Songs: Part 1 All Over the Place

Watch this space! Get ready for the sounds of All Over The Place!

Coming up, Naomi has two heads!

I mean, two Eds!

Lauren goes a bit hip hoppy.

Chris turns a bit happy hippie!

Johnny plans for world domination!

Victoria's dance moves

are a sensation!

Michelle's driving skills are

hard to beat!

And Barney's bare feet get

a proper treat!

Our last day in Europe, Chris.

And where best to spend it than Krakow.

One of the oldest cities in Poland.

It gets even better! I've just had a text from the boss.

Apparently, we're going to be joined by a special mystery guest

who we've got to show around all day. They'll be here any second!

-Oh, wow. Maybe it's a film star.

-Oh, or a football player.

Or a supermodel!

-You all right, fellas?

-Dodge, do you mind?

We're trying to think about who the mystery guest could..

..be.

-It's you, isn't it?

-Ha-ha! Yeah!

Well, I'm a top dog celebrity, you know.

And cos I'm only small I don't get to go the places you do.

Oh, don't worry, mate. We'll show you around.

-Ha-ha!

-Oh, we've got to choose music.

-Need a playlist. I like rock, Dodge likes reggae.

-Yeah, baby!

And you only seem to like Outer Mongolian folk music.

Yeah!

I mean, not the only thing I'm into.

Maybe we could listen to the songs from the series.

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

BOTH: # Ging-gang-gooly-gooly, watch out

# Ging-gang-goo, ging-gang-goo. #

Don't worry, the singing's going to get better.

Most of it.

Guys, I don't know where you're going!

# All over the place

# All over the place

# North, south, east, west on a bizarre quest

# Me and my mates all over the place

# It's true what you've heard everything is absurd

# Whatever we do is strange but true

# All over the place

# All over the place. #

Hasta la vista!

# There's stuff to do in Europe that is totally ace

# And it turns up

# All over the place. #

Tra-la-la!

-Tra-la-la!

-Uh, Chris?

-Yep?

-What are you doing?

-Oh, I'm just doing what explorers do when they're exploring.

-Oh.

Tra-la-la!

-HE PUTS ON A POSH ACCENT:

-Look, Edwin, 'pon yonder horizon.

It's the city of Krakow, home to...

Didn't actually prepare any facts. Have you got something?

Well, it says here it's the second largest city in Poland

and... Oh. It used to be the capital until

the early seventeenth-century.

-Wow.

-Oh. And what about this big hill thing that we're stood on?

Yeah, it's not a molehill, is it? Because that must be one

massive mole.

-No, this is the Kosciuszko Mound.

-Bless you.

It was built in 1820 in honour of a Polish hero

and people brought soil from all over Poland to make it this high.

Yeah, well, look, if there is a mole in there, it better be

ready for Dodge the explorer, baby!

Mate, I think you'll find that I'm the explorer.

I've got the rambling stick, I've got the sandwiches in my bag.

Wait, no, I didn't make the sandwiches.

We don't have sandwiches! Ed, there are no sandwiches!

Chris, Chris! Calm down.

If you want to be a real explorer, you can listen to how

Naomi and I got on in Norway.

-Aah!

-Now, let's get on, shall we? And no more 'tra-la-la-ing.'

-Just a little bit?

-Oh, go on, then.

BOTH: Tra-la-la, tra-la-la!

# This song is all about the boats, about the boats

# In two museums

# And all about two blokes, about two blokes

# Both Norwegians

# All about the blokes who sailed the boats

# So let's go see them

# All about the boats, about the bo-bo-bo-bo-boats

# The first museum is called The Fram

# This boat was sailed by Amundsen

# All of his life he had a goal

# But he missed out being the first person

# To get to the North Pole

# So he took on a new expedition

# To drift across the Arctic Ocean

# Onto the Fram, he did hop

# He measured under 40 metres from the bottom to the top

# He set off telling people he was going north

# But then

# He turned it round

# He turned it round

# Instead headed for the South Pole that was his secret plan

# A secret, secret

# Shh

# A secret, secret

# The Fram reached the furthest point south that a boat's ever been

# The Bay of Whales

# The Bay of Whales

# He trekked to the South Pole, arrived there December 14

# So what about this boat, about this boat?

# The Kon-Tiki

# How on earth did this one stay afloat?

# Looks pretty leaky

# The chances of survival quite remote

# Let's take a peaky

# All about this boat, about this bo-bo-bo-bo-boat

# Thor Heyerdahl was an explorer

# Who was keen on ancient culture

# He wanted to prove his theory

# That the Polynesian ancestors had sailed across the sea

# And so he built this out of logs

# And at a speed of just two knots

# He sailed across the Pacific

# Took 101 days, you've gotta say that's quite a trip

# 8,000 kilometres is a long way on a raft

# Very, very

# Very, very

# And while on the journey they came across a massive shark

# Scary, scary, ooh

# Scary, scary

# Tried to cross the Atlantic on a reed boat called the Ra

# He didn't make it, he didn't make it

# He rebuilt and tried again

# This time it sailed pretty far

# This song was all about the boats, about the boats

# In their museums

# And all about two blokes, about two blokes

# Both Norwegians

# All about the blokes who sailed the boats

# And now you've seen 'em

# You know all about the boats, about the bo-bo-bo-bo-boats. #

How do you do that?

-DEEP VOICE:

-It's just a gift.

Can't you two go any faster?

I can't! I can't even... I can't even speak now!

-Brr!

-This big explorer stuff is just...pfft! You know!

Look, this is the only way we're going to see Wawel Castle

on Wawel Hill.

It's where the first rulers of Poland settled in the tenth century.

Why couldn't they sail to the bottom of the hill?

Well, it's just strategic, isn't it? For 300 years, this was the seat

-of Polish power.

-Oh, that's good. As long as there's a seat I'm fine.

It doesn't even look much like a castle!

This is just the gateway.

It was added in 1921 and displays the coat of arms

from all nine lands that used to make up Poland.

Yeah, that's great, but these cobbles are playing havoc

with my tootsies, so if we could?

Oh, are these your big explorer tootsies, Chris? Ha-ha-ha-ha!

At least you've got shoes on.

Me and Barney went to a park in Hungary where we weren't even

allowed to wear shoes. Now, come on!

-Dodge...

-No, I'm not giving you another piggyback!

Not after last time!

Oh, it still hurts!

Honestly.

# When you're walking down the street

# Take a quick look at your feet

# Tell me what is it you see? Mm-hm

# I don't know, Ed, you tell me Mm-hm

# You're wearing shoes and socks

# Now it's time to take them off

# Are you having a laugh? Mm-hm

# No this is Barefoot Park Mm-hm

# Yes here in Tabajd the idea that they had

# Was to build a park that was designed to walk through

# With bare feet

-BOTH:

-# So take off your shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes

# Which pathway shall we choose, choose, choose, choose, choose?

# What have you got to lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose?

# Take 'em off, take 'em off

# It's perfect for a stroll, stroll, stroll, stroll, stroll

# I hope it's not too cold, cold, cold, cold, cold

# Just do as you are told, told, told, told, told

-BOTH:

-# Take 'em off, take 'em off

# It opened in 2010

# And every year since then

# People flood from miles around

# Mh-hm

# To put their bare feet on the ground

# Mm-hm # You can walk on stumps or cones

# Or even sand or stones

# You can even walk the plank

# Mm-hm

-# After you, Ed

-# Thanks

# Mm-hm

# There's over 20 surfaces

# That's plenty

# And it takes 13 minutes to complete the 800 metre path

-BOTH:

-# So take off your socks, socks, socks, socks, socks

# Check out these volcanic rocks, rocks, rocks, rocks, rocks

# I hope they're not to hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

-BOTH:

-# Take 'em off, take 'em off

# Remove your foot where, where, where, where, where?

# Wander round without a care, care, care, care, care

# Barefoot in the open air, air, air, air, air

# Take 'em off, take 'em off

# Just think that a quarter of all the bones in your body

# Are down there along with 33 joints, 19 muscles, 10 tendons

# And 107 ligaments

# That's a lot going on

# Inside your feet

-BOTH:

-# Barefoot Park in Hungary-ry-ry-ry-ry

# It's the only place to be, be, be, be, be

# For your feet to feel free, free, free, free, free

# Let's head off, let's head off

# Just a minute, Ed, hang on, on, on, on, on

# Where have our shoes gone, gone, gone, gone, gone?

# Are you having me on, on, on, on, on?

# Afraid I'm not, afraid I'm not. #

-Right then, Dodge. Here we are at Wawel Castle.

-Wow.

-HE PUTS ON A POSH ACCENT:

-Isn't it magnificent?

From it's castley towers to its castely windows,

to its castely castle like...

castleness.

-Actually, that's Wawel Cathedral. The castle's over here.

-Ha-ha-ha!

Yonko-ya-bonko, you are!

So, Ed, this cathedral. Is it where people called Cath hang out?

It's a church. For centuries, the Polish royal family had

their coronations, weddings, funerals and stuff there.

Oh.

Hey, no wonder it's all weird shapes.

It's built in different styles. It's medieval, Romanesque.

In the fourteenth-century, it even had a Gothic makeover.

Oh, yeah, I once had a Goth makeover. Yeah.

I wore black and had a nose ring.

It's great till you sneeze, then it all gets clogged up...

-I really don't need to...

-Yeah, yeah, he means Gothic architecture.

So it's not about moping around, listening to rubbish music

-and wearing eyeliner?

-Not quite.

Almost as fancy as that village we went to, remember?

Oh, yeah, Zalipie, that was in Poland. Bit further out.

Actually, it was REALLY far out.

# In the village of Zalipie

# They have a custom

# They've been painting patterns on things

# For generations

# It began in the 18th-century

# And the results are here to see

# Patterns everywhere

# Women whitewashed over soot stains so houses looked clean

# But despite their efforts dirty marks could still be seen

# So they took their inspiration from the local vegetation

# Flowers everywhere

# See the flowers upon the wall

# Dazzling patterns, so colourful

# Oh, they are all so beautiful

# Ahh

# How were they able to paint in such great detail?

# They made their brushes using hairs from a cow's tail

# And the paint tradition

# Is preserved in this museum

# Flowers everywhere

# There's no fear that these patterns will ever disappear

# There's a painted cottage competition every year

# Local artists come and take part

# Who will paint the winning wall art?

# Patterns everywhere

# See the flowers upon the wall

# So entrancing and colourful

# Love to sit and gaze at them all

# Ahh

# Not just homes with a florid decor

# Beehives, fences, trees Stuff indoors

# The village bridge has its own colour scheme

# Everywhere you go it's like a Technicolor dream

# See the flowers upon the wall

# So elaborate and floral

# Keep moving or they'll paint you an' all

# Ahh. #

Oh, that was brilliant.

Ed, have you got any more songs about buildings?

Erm, well, Johnny and I did go to Belgrade in Serbia, that was brutal.

Do you mean brutal as in, "Well wicked," yeah?

-No, no, as an brutalism.

-Ah.

It's the style building we saw there.

Although the costumes were pretty brutal.

So what do you think of Poland so far, Dodge?

-HE JITTERS

-D-d-d-dragon!

I hate dragons even more than I hate cats. Almost as much.

I mean, I really do dislike cats. Grr!

Yes, say hello to the Wawel Dragon.

Legend has it that an evil dragon called Smok used to want to

live in the caves around here.

It'd fly around and breathe fire on people.

Wah!

HE COUGHS

Chris, Chris, you really are breathing something.

What did you have for lunch, ming pie?

-Polish sausage, actually. Was a tad fruity.

-I can taste it.

But the legend goes that Krakow was named after Krakus,

the king who defeated that dragon.

Although other legends say that it wasn't the king who defeated

the dragon but a local shoemaker.

Yeah, yeah, well, whoever did it, Ed, he had it coming.

Whoa, mate, give over. It's only a statue.

Ah!

Chris!

It's a good job he didn't come to the Czech Republic

with me and Victoria.

This isn't the only town with legends about monsters.

No, Chris, stop hiding behind that granny!

Oh!

# This Gothic city is home to legends miserable and dark

# If you're brave then I could tell you the legends of Prague

# I need to know now, know now

# Can you please tell me so

# Dark in their manner

# Then I'll tell you the legend of the Golem

# In the 16th century a Jewish rabbi

# Worried no-one would protect his people if he was to die

# So he made the Golem moulded from clay

# He said some sacred words it came alive

-# Pretty scary, eh?

-No

# The most terrifying monster Prague has ever seen

# Essentially a monster that's made of plasticine

# The rabbi destroyed his Golem

# Some say it hath come back

# Oh, look they've named a cafe after it

# Fancy a snack?

# I need to know more, know more

# Dark tales that give me a fright

# Tell me another

# Then I'll tell you the legend of the iron knight

# The story goes there was an knight whose partner he adored

# But in a jealous fit of rage he killed her with his sword

# With her last breath she cursed him

# To iron he was turned

# Only once every hundred years to human form he can be returned

# I need to know more, know more

# Sad tales I enjoy

# Tell me another

# Then I'll tell you the legend of the stone boy

# There was a young boy on a rooftop

# Who was pulling a face

# A priest saw him and then turned him

-# To stone in his place

-Ugh!

# I need to know more, know more

# Tell me the saddest of all

# I need to know more

# Well, there is one as long as you're sure... #

I could tell you the legend of the man who made this astronomical clock.

He was blinded by a masked mob as

there had been rumours that he was making a clock for another town.

When he found out why he'd been attacked, he vowed revenge

and visited the clock and, feeling his creation beneath his fingers,

he was overwhelmed with sadness and destroyed it.

At which point, his heart broke and he fell lifeless to the floor.

Oh, that's really sad. Just the way I like it.

Talking of legends, loads of cool people were born here in Poland.

Like Marie Curie, she was born here in 1867.

Oh, yeah, she was a pioneer in radiation research

-and the first woman to win the Nobel Prize.

-The Nobel Prize?

Well, maybe she should get a bell,

then she could win the Got A Bell Prize.

No, that was named after the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel.

It was awarded to people for coming up with brainy stuff.

Well, that rules you out, then, Chris. Ha-ha-ha!

And Chopin, the famous composer, he was Polish as well.

That's true, he was the one who came up with erm, erm...

I think I'm thinking of Justin Bieber.

-Right, let's get some lunch. Taxi!

-Taxi!

-Taxi!

-Taxi!

-Taxi!

Didn't have this problem with Michelle at Motorworld in Germany.

Couldn't move for cars.

-Taxi!

-Taxi!

-Taxi!

# Lately, Michelle I've been losing sleep

# Dreaming about the cars that we could see

# Luckily, Ed, we are in Stuttgart

# If there's one thing it's got

# It's plenty of cars

# This is the home of Mercedes-Benz

# Interesting fact tell your friends

# Karl Benz invented the first ever car

# Only had three wheels did it get very far?

# It's old, 1886

# Only car on the road when it showed off its tricks

# First ever trip was a bit of a joke

# Four laps of the track stalled twice, then broke

# I-I-I-I-I-I

# Just want to take these cars

# On the autobahn

# You can drive as fast as you like

# On ones with no speed limits

# So no cause for alarm

# Everything I see just makes me want to drive

# Germany, home of the motorcar

# Mercedes-Benz and Porsche here in Stuttgart

# Volkswagen, Audi, BMW

# If you're into vehicles it's the place

# It's the place for you

# At Motorworld, more cars to see

# Half a million visitors annually

# Built on the site of an old airport

# Now home to all forms of transport

# Boxes, just to be clear

# Plastic, cars are displayed in here

# Yeah, inside made to precision

# For the best climactic conditions

# I-I-I-I-I-I just want to take these cars

# Out on the road

# But they're all safely locked up

# Only the owners have the secret code

# Everything I see just makes me want to drive

# Germany, home of the motorcar

# Mercedes-Benz and Porsche here in Stuttgart

# Volkswagen, Audi, BMW

# If you're into vehicles it's the place

# It's the place for you

# And I'll tell you what, Michelle they've even got a car hotel

# It's a vehicle lover's dream

# Some of the bedrooms are themed

# The beds are made of bits of car

# Just like sleeping in a garage

# Look at this one, oh, my gosh

# You can wake up in a car wash

# Everything I see

# Just makes me want to drive

# Germany, home of the motorcar

# Mercedes-Benz and Porsche here in Stuttgart

# Germany with your cars I'm impressed

# I'll take one for a spin as soon

# As I've passed my test. #

Now, I know we had to walk

but apparently this is one of the best places in Krakow to get lunch.

-I give you the pierogi shop.

-The Ba-bogey shop? Huh?

No, pierogi. It's one of Poland's national foods.

Yeah, it says here they're kind of like dumplings.

Yeah, a thinly rolled dough filled with potato or meat.

-Or cheese or fruit.

-Oh, nice one, let's get stuck in, then.

No, sorry, no dogs allowed in this restaurant.

But, hey, it's OK, you wait out here and we'll text you

-and tell you what they taste like.

-Wait, wait, hang on,

hang on, what am I going to do while you're stuffing your chops?

Erm... You could find out what Lauren and me got up to in Austria?

We sang a song about composers that used to hang out in Vienna.

Pierogi time.

Right, I'll just... I'll just wait here, then.

Wonder if they've got any bin juice round back.

# Oh, Vienna, what can you show us?

# Home of the great classical composers

# Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss and Haydn

# The body of work is quite surprisin'

# Oh, Vienna, centre of it all

# Music fans flock to your concert halls

# 10,000 punters every night

# Let's hit the city check the sites

# Golden hall of the Musikverein

# Unlike anything you've ever seen

# The extravagant decor defies belief

# Even the walls are covered in gold leaf

# They stage a famous concert every New Year's Day

# Over 2,000 people watch the orchestra play

# To book a ticket you need to do it loads in advance

# So don't just turned up on the off chance

# Oh, Vienna what can you show us?

# Home of the great classical composers

# Taking a tour of the Viennese sites

-# I'll be Mozart

-I'll be Beethoven Wreck the mics

# Check me out in Beethovenplatz

# I like seeing myself up there like that

# Vienna thinks I'm the greatest musician

# That's why my statue's in such a prominent position

# I wrote my first symphony by the time I was 30

# Really? Well done(!) By then I'd done 40

# I know my way around a base and treble clef

# Well, when I wrote Ode To Joy I was almost deaf

# Oh, Vienna, what can you show us?

# Home of the great classical composers

# Whose tunes are truly top of the pops?

-# I'll be Wolfgang

-I'll be Ludwig

# Let the beat drop

# Well, here's one for starters

# One of my piano sonatas

# If you're looking for a favourite

# The Moonlight Sonata was a real hit

# Yeah? Yeah, I hear you, bro

# It ain't a patch on this allegro

# From Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

# Got to admit, this is pretty sick

# The appeal of that to me is fleeting

# This Fifth Symphony takes a beating

# For orchestral pomp and power

# They say it's my finest hour

# As symphonies go, what is finer

# Than my 40th in G Minor?

# I think you know it well, Ludwig

# They say that it inspired your Fifth

# Oh, come on, Wolfgang Get real, please

# It's not a patch on Fur Elise

# The piano tune everyone can play

# It's like the Chopsticks of its day

# You want a tune that tops the lot?

# Go on, then, Wolfgang what you got?

# I know this might sound quite bizarre

# But I wrote Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

-# Really?

-Mm-hmm

# OK, you got me

# Oh, Vienna, what can you show us?

# Home of the great classical composers

# 200 years on, people still rave

# Although I ended up in a pauper's grave

# Wolfgang and Ludwig are where it's at

# You should check it out our beats were phat. #

Mate, this pierogi is delicious.

And, don't worry, we've got you a plate all to yourse... Dodge?

-Dodge?

-Dodge?!

Don't tell me we've lost him.

Oh, no. We told The Big Big Cheese we'd look after him.

What are we going to do?

Will Ed and Chris find Dodge?

Will they get sniffed out by The Big Big Cheese?

Do we have to stay like this till the next episode?

I really wish I'd gone to the toilet.

Find out in the next thrilling

instalment of All Over The Place - Europe.

-Not yet.

-Sorry.
