Whale Song Wrong Iconicles

# Let me take you to a world that I've seen

# My best invention The Iconi-Screen

# They're friends and animals The Iconicles

# So come along with me and I'll tell you more

# Iconicles

# There's Rumple and Miss Moo Splish and Splash and Skitter, too

# I'll show you their worlds The Iconicles

# I just can't wait for you to meet them all

-Ho-ho!

-Ha-ha!

-He-he!

# Iconicles Iconicles. #

HE HUMS A TUNE

Oh, hi, there.

I was out for a walk when I made up this amazing song in my head.

It's all about the Iconicles.

I'll play it to you, just as soon as I find my electric guitar.

Hm. Where could it be?

A-ha!

Flippers. No.

Football. No.

Ah! Of course!

Ha-ha! Good!

Ah. Not good.

I can't play you my song with this.

Hm. I'll need some help to find my guitar before I forget the song.

Luckily for me, I know exactly where to find that. Come on.

# With a wave of my hands Let's explore

# Wonderful lands never seen before

# The Iconi-Screen My most amazing machine

# The I I-I I-coni-Screen

# Wild wilderness Around the garden bench

# Down on the farm and by the Water's Edge

# Guess which Iconicle is coming to play

# Can you guess which world we'll visit today? #

Now, this is where the fun really begins.

Which Iconicle would be perfect for helping me to find my guitar?

Wahey! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

There's Skitter, counting his nut collection again.

Better not disturb him. He might lose count.

A-ha! How about Miss Moo?

She's always organising everyone.

She'd be perfect to help find my guitar, don't you think?

Great. Miss Moo it is.

SHE CHUCKLES

Ho-ho!

SHE CHUCKLES

Brrrr! Ooo!

SHE CHUCKLES

Hello, Miss Moo. And how do you do?

Moo-velous to see you, Nat.

Miss Moo, I need your help to find my electric guitar.

I need it to play a song about the Iconicles.

Miss Moo loves a good sing-along.

# Tra-la-la. #

A-hem! But first, what's an electric guitar?

Oh! Well...I'll show you.

Well...Wh-e-e-ew!

It's a musical instrument. It's really loud

and it has an amazing tw-a-a-ang!

My electric guitar is red and silver.

And it has a long neck

and six twangy, metally strings. And it sounds like...

-Nat?

-R-R-R-Riw!

R-R-R-Riw! R-R-R-Riw!

STOP!

What's wrong, Miss Moo?

Look!

Oh, no! Silly me!

I must've been operating the Iconi-Screen without realising.

Yes. Still, no harm done.

Right, let's get looking, shall we?

Hey, wait!

We're not the only ones searching for something.

Let's see where Splish and Splash are going.

BOTH: Come on, Carmen, hurry up.

Splish? Splash?

Wait for me!

We want to find the funny creature Salty told us about.

He said it's green and has long, wobbly arms.

Why does it have long, wobbly arms?

All the better to tickle you with!

THEY GIGGLE

Quick! Let's find Salty's tickle monster.

Who said anything about monsters, you crazy cubs?

Ah! Aye-aye-aye!

I'll catch you up. Keep on looking.

We will. To the rock pools!

Phew!

# Afa, afa, salsa

# Shimmy-shaky salsa

# Even when I'm tired, I must sing her and dance her

# Afa, fafa... #

Carmen. I'd know your beautiful singing anywhere.

May I be so bold as to join in?

Ola, Scotty. It goes like this.

# Huffa puffa salsa

# Shimmy shaky salsa

# Even when I'm tired, I'm a singer and a dancer. #

-Ah, Bubbles.

-You two sound as if you're having a wonderful time.

Hm-hm-hm. As ever. The cha-cha-cha.

Come on, Bubbles. Join in the song.

Oh, no. I'm just on my way to the cold stream tides for a bath.

Now that will be a freezing dip.

Oh, come on, Bubbles. Sing!

No. Really, I don't know.

Over here! No tickle monster down here.

Let's try the ice floes.

-Don't be shy.

-Come on, Bubbles. You can do it. Sing along.

# Eek-ee-oo, eek-ee-oo

# Eek-ee-oo, eek-ee-oo

-ECHOING IN THE DISTANCE:

-# Eek-ee-oo, eek-ee-oo... #

What was that? A grumbly tummy?

Eek-ee.

Thundery rumble? Blee!

Rumbly tumbles!

Grundily rumbles!

Maybe it's the tickle monster!

Oh, yes!

Splish, which way is home?

I'll tell you if you catch me!

OK!

# Oo-eek-shee-ooo. #

That was so much fun! Singing feels wonderful. One more time!

No! I mean, erm... Sometimes one can have too much of a good thing.

And don't forget your bath.

Oh, yes. Maybe we can continue our sing-along later?

Yes, that would be good(!)

-No?

-No!

What a noise!

That is the worst singing I have ever heard.

It's a good thing young Splish and Splash weren't here.

They might have told her how bad it was.

Oh, I forgot about those two!

They will be waiting for me to help search for Salty's tickle monster.

-A what?!

-They are waiting at the rock pool. Bye, Scotty!

Carmen. Carmen, old girl, wait for me.

I'd like to meet this tickle monster Splish and Splash are looking for.

Miss Moo doubts they'll ever find it without a plan.

And a plan's what you need to find your electric guitar.

A plan? Hmm, sounds good.

So, what should we do, Miss Moo?

You search that half of the Iconicarium,

while Miss Moo searches this half.

Excellent idea! What would I do without you, Miss Moo?

Where should I look? I've already looked in there.

Wait a sec. How could I forget about you?

Meet the Detectotrack.

One of my recent inventions.

If this works, it'd be perfect to help us find my guitar.

Let's see, shall we?

Perfect. Right.

I haven't found it yet, Nat.

Me neither. But I have found this.

What's that?

ALARM BLARES

Games alarm. I'll show you what it does

after we play a game of Spot The Iconicle.

OK, question.

Ooh. Did you spot the starfish at the Water's Edge earlier?

Hmm.

Hmm. Miss Moo thinks the starfish was in the rock pool.

What do you think? Let's see, shall we?

No tickle monster down here.

There it is, just where you said it would be, Miss Moo.

Did you spot it in the rock pool too? Well spotted, if you did.

Now, you should get back to spotting your electric guitar.

Well, this will help. I've drawn a picture of my guitar, right here.

-Ooh!

-And now, the Detectotracker will lead me right to it.

-Go!

-Wait, Nat. We still need a plan.

Miss Moo will tell you where to start with your Detectotrack.

That way, we won't miss any places.

-Sounds good.

-OK, Iconi-Screen area first.

-No guitar here.

-Sleeping area next.

-OK.

-No, there's no guitar up there.

-How about the Crazy Cupboard?

No. It's not in there either.

-Looks as if my electric guitar's lost forever.

-You will find it soon.

Miss Moo is sure of that.

And I hope Scotty and Carmen will find Splish and Splash soon too.

Of course! Let's go and see how their search is going.

Hey, snow buddies! What's up?

We're looking for Splish and Splash. Have you seen them, Salty?

No, but I did find a mysterious green sea creature

with wobbly arms. I told them about it.

-The tickle monster?

-It turned out to be just a big clump of seaweed.

Can you believe it, dudes?!

Oh! Seaweed. Is that all?

We must find Splish and Splash and tell them.

They think they are looking for a tickle monster.

A tickle monster?!

Well, it could be. Woo!

Steady on, old girl. Now, where to look first?

-That's the question.

-Can I help?

Ola, Bubbles. Have you seen Splish and Splash?

No. I've just come from the ice floes. I didn't see them there.

That was the only place we have not looked already.

What about your salsa song? The cubs love music.

Hearing it might draw them home.

That's a great idea!

Come on. Let's all sing as loud as we can!

What?! All sing? Even Bubbles?

Oh, yes. Erm...

To sing is a...very good idea, Bubbles,

but first Scotty will look from up high. Si, Scotty?

What? Oh, yes! Good show.

Clear for take-off!

-Get off!

-So which way is home?

Erm...I'm not sure.

Hmm, what's this? Worth a look-see.

-Hmm. Oof.

-Hey, what was that?

It's the tickle monster.

Woah! Ha!

Oof. Brr!

Oh.

I think it's gone.

Don't worry. Old Scotty will find them.

He is very good at looking, no?

Eee-ee!

I didn't...find them.

If I swam too far, my mother would always sing me home.

-Sing you home?

-Yes.

I would hear her song and know which way to swim home.

Perhaps, if we all sing, Splish and Splash will hear us.

Ah, yes. But...

But I was thinking first we should try...this!

-SHE CLICKS HER CLAWS

-Will that be loud enough?

Oh, yes. If Salty and you join in too.

You can slap and clap your flippers, what? Good show!

-THEY ALL SLAP AND CLAP

-They must be able to hear this.

-What's that noise? It sounds like...

-A tickle monster,

tickling the iceberg with its long green tickly tentacles.

Could be, but it won't tickle me. It has to catch me first!

Me too! Woo-hoo!

HE SLAPS AND CLAPS

Our snow buddies may be too far away to hear us.

Hmm, what are we going to do now?

Miss Moo hopes the others find Splish and Splash soon.

They will find them, don't worry. And we will find my guitar.

The search continues. Wee-woo!

Maybe there's something wrong with this.

# Da-na-na dun-dun... #

Hmm.

Let's see.

# Da-na-na-na, ah-ah-ah-wah-wah... #

Ahem.

# Na-a... #

Wait a sec.

I think I know what's going on.

Follow me, Miss Moo.

DETECTOTRACK WHIRS GET LOUDER

My guitar's in the Crazy Cupboard after all!

Or at least part of it.

-Part of it?

-Yes. I must have taken it apart

to use pieces of it in my inventions and forgot.

When you wiped off part of the drawing,

the Detectotrack found one piece. Let's see if it can find the rest.

Just need to wipe that off.

And replace it with a picture of the neck.

Ha-ha-ha!

OK. Here we go.

DETECTOTRACK WHIRS GET LOUDER

-Found it!

-Moo-vellous!

Perfect. Now I just need to fix these two pieces together

while we catch up with what's been happening at the Water's Edge.

Are you sure Splish and Splash will still be looking

-for this tickle monster?

-They won't stop looking until they find it.

-We must find them.

-We haven't tried my idea yet.

Let's all try singing.

OK. Bubbles is right. We all sing, yes?

On my count...

Uno, dos, tres...

-ALL:

-# Huffa puffa salsa

# Shimmy shaky salsa

# Even when we're tired, we're singers and we're dancers. #

OK, Bubbles. Your turn.

Bubbles?

-BEAUTIFUL MUSIC:

-# Splish and Splash... #

Where is that beautiful music coming from?

Ha-ha-ha! From Bubbles, of course!

-Bubbles?!

-But Bubbles can't sing.

# Ya-kee-oo-blee

# Ya-kee-oo-blee

# Splish? Splash?

# Ya-kee-oo-blee. #

I mean, we just thought after that dreadful noise she made earlier...

If you'd have just asked me, I could have told you.

All whales sound terrible when they sing above the water,

-but under it...

-Es fantastico!

-Marvellous!

-And down deep, the sound carries for miles and miles.

-Splish and Splash are bound to hear her.

-I hope.

# Splish... Splash...

# Splish...

It's Bubbles!

She's singing to us!

Over there! Listen!

Then home must be that way too.

-Follow me, Splish.

-Follow me, Splash.

Whoa! Follow that song!

-Coming, Bubbles!

-Keep singing!

And then, on the iceberg, we saw this big wobbly shadow.

There was no monster at all, was there, my lovelies?

Just noises and shadows and imagination.

-And me.

-And some seaweed.

-Woo-oo!

-THEY GIGGLE

Maybe next time you are not jumping to conclusions, si?

BOTH: No jumping next time, promise.

That's a promise we should keep too, Carmen.

To think, we nearly stopped Bubbles singing the cubs home

because we jumped to the conclusion that whales can't sing.

Si. Sorry, Bubbles. You have a beautiful singing voice underwater.

Why don't you try it too?

THEY LAUGH

Bubbles was brilliant. It just goes to show,

jumping to conclusions is usually not a good idea.

Exactly. I jumped to the conclusion that I'd never find my guitar again.

How wrong was I? And here it is, as good as new

and ready to finally play you my Iconicle song.

-All thanks to you, Miss Moo.

-Miss Moo can't wait to hear it.

OK, I just need to tune up the strings and...

Oh, no! I've lost my guitar strings.

I'll never get to play my song at this rate.

Don't jump to conclusions. They may be closer than you think.

Yes! What would I do without you, Miss Moo?

Guitar strings, of course. Now I remember.

I took them off my guitar to make the Detectotrack.

-Ho-ho-ho!

-Oh, well. Now I need them for my guitar.

OK. Time for the Crazy Cupboard to get those strings back in place.

Ho-ho-ho! Good as new!

OK, Miss Moo, here it is.

My guitar and my new Iconicle song.

Wait a mo... How did it go again?

Oh, no, I've forgotten how my new song goes.

Ah, but there is one song I could play.

# Da-da-da-da

# Da-da-da-da

# Da-da-da

# Da-da-da. #

Woo-hoo-hoo! Miss Moo loved it! Bubbles would too.

-Oh, thanks.

-Miss Moo has had fun helping you today, Nat.

-But it's time to go home.

-OK. Thanks again, Miss Moo.

See you again soon.

Bye, Miss Moo.

Bye, Nat.

Right. I'd better get that song recorded and filed away

before I forget how it goes too. See you again soon. Bye.
