0:01:06 > 0:01:10You see, there was a time when Frog didn't just ribbit,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12he sang like a bird.
0:01:12 > 0:01:18And when Frog sang, every beast in Tinga Tinga would come to listen.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Jambo, monkeys.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Settle down, monkeys.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27# Frog is gonna sing he's gonna sing, he's gonna sing. #
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- ALL: Shh!- Here we go.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19Belissimo! Bravo, encore!
0:02:19 > 0:02:20CROW GROWLS
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Well done, Frog.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Well done, Frog?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Have all you birds gone mad? It's a frog!
0:02:26 > 0:02:30He may look like a frog, but he sings like an angel.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I don't believe it!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Ah! This is a disgrace!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39BIRDS: # What a voice... #
0:02:39 > 0:02:40What a voice!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It is not right. It is not right, I tell you.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Crow, what's your problem?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Your Highness, I don't think it's right for a frog to sing.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54We birds are supposed to sing. That's why it's called birdsong!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I agree with crow.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Where's our pride? Lions roar, snakes hiss
0:02:59 > 0:03:01and birds sing.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Birds sing! Birds sing!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Well, most birds sing.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09You, Parrot, just talk. Talk and copy.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Copy-talk.- I don't!
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- You know you do. - You know you do.- See?
0:03:13 > 0:03:14- HE SQUAWKS - Tosha!
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Enough!
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Birds, please have some manners.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Frog sings very nicely. We have no right to stop him singing.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25CROW COUGHS
0:03:25 > 0:03:30# Ooh-hoo-oh-oh-hoo Oooh-hoo-ooh-ooh-oh-hoo. #
0:03:30 > 0:03:32ALL: Bravo!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Maybe Crow is right. Birds are the masters of song.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Not frogs!
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- # Not frogs, not frogs not frogs... #- Not Frogs! Not Frogs!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Birds!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Why can't you both sing?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50You could invite Frog to sing a duet with your greatest feathered singer,
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Crow.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Sorry, Your Highness, what is a duet?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58A duet means two voices singing together.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It sounds sweet and it sounds good, like this -
0:04:01 > 0:04:03# Laa-la-la, laa-la-la... #
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Are you ready, Crow?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Ha-ha-ha!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10The Frog and Crow duet!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I shall look forward to it, birds.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16But, if Crow and Frog do a duet,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19how will we know who is the best singer?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21This will not be a duet,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24but a duel! Ha-ha!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Sorry, Your Eagleness, but what is a duel?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32A duel is a battle of the voices to the bitter end.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Like this...
0:04:36 > 0:04:38But that isn't what Lion meant.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41But that is what it shall be! Ha-ha-ha!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44A duel not a duet.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46# A duel not a duet. #
0:04:46 > 0:04:49A duel not a duet!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51# A duel not a duet. #
0:04:53 > 0:04:55It was wonderful, Frog.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59When you sing, everyone is peaceful and happy.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Oh, you really think so?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Oh I don't THINK so, I KNOW so.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07THEY LAUGH
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Jambo, Frog.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Jambo, Crow.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17I wanted to congratulate you on a very good concert last night.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Why thank you. Ha-ha!
0:05:19 > 0:05:25A little bird once told me that you have a lovely singing voice, too.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Oh, you flatter me, Frog.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Actually, I was wondering if you would join me in a sing-song.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You know, like a duet?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38To sing a duet with a bird - what an honour!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Tonight.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I would be delighted.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Excellent!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47A duet to end all duets!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49HE LAUGHS
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I don't trust Crow, she twitches too much.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Well, I jump too much and you like me.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Jumpy is not the same as twitchy.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Something's not right.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04HE TRUMPETS
0:06:05 > 0:06:07A duet!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11A duet with Crow and Frog at the lilypond tonight.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- HIPPO GIGGLES - A duet!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Hurry, Tortoise, or you'll miss the concert.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22# A duet
0:06:22 > 0:06:25# A Crow and Frog duet... #
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Oooh!
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Hey!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29# A Crow and Frog duet... #
0:06:29 > 0:06:33A Crow and Frog duet tonight, pass it on.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35A duet, pass it on!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37A duet, pass it on!
0:06:37 > 0:06:38A duet, pass it on!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Ooh! Ha-ha! Huh?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43# A Crow and Frog duet. #
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Remember, Crow.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51You must sing and sing and do not stop.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Make sure the last sound the animals hear is your own.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58A duel not a duet.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00A duel not a duet.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Shh! Frog mustn't find out.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Frog mustn't find out, Frog mustn't find out!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09# Frog mustn't find out. #
0:07:10 > 0:07:13THEY CHATTER
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Shh! Shh!
0:07:27 > 0:07:33# Here's a song that's sung for you
0:07:33 > 0:07:37# A song that's sung by two
0:07:39 > 0:07:44# Cos a song is much more fun
0:07:44 > 0:07:50# Sung by two and not by one
0:07:50 > 0:07:56BOTH: # Yes a song is much more fun
0:07:56 > 0:08:02# Sung by two and not by one
0:08:04 > 0:08:07# Shooby-do-bap-ba # Shooby-do-bap-ba
0:08:07 > 0:08:09# Shooby-do, boop-ba-doop... #
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Ooh, I love Frog's voice.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Ooh, it brings out the beast in you!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Rrrr! Ha-ha!
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Not bad for a Frog!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Not a patch on Crow. Frog's voice is too low.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Ooh-oh! Listen! That bird can sing, you know?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Frog sings better.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27But Crow sings higher.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31But Frog's got soul and that's what matters.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34# Doop-ba-doo-ba-bap, doop-ba-doo
0:08:34 > 0:08:37# Shoo-wa-wup, shoo-wa-wup
0:08:37 > 0:08:40# Shoo-wa-wup-a, boop-ba-doo
0:08:40 > 0:08:43# Shoo-ba-doo-bup, shoo-da
0:08:43 > 0:08:45# Shoop-a-doop-a-doop-ahh
0:08:45 > 0:08:46# Mmm
0:08:46 > 0:08:49# Shoop-a-loop-ay, loop-a-loo
0:08:49 > 0:08:52# Shooby-doop, shooby-doop
0:08:52 > 0:08:55# Shooby-doop-ah-ah, # Shooby-doop-ah-ah
0:08:55 > 0:08:57# shooby-doop-ah... #
0:08:57 > 0:09:00How silly I was to worry.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard -
0:09:03 > 0:09:06A duet to end all duets.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08A duel not a duet!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11No animal must know, especially not Frog.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Oh!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Not a duet?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Oh!
0:09:16 > 0:09:17# Shooby-do
0:09:17 > 0:09:19HE COUGHS
0:09:19 > 0:09:20# Ooh... #
0:09:20 > 0:09:21FROG COUGHS
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Hmm.- They'll both ruin their voices.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26FROG CROAKS AND COUGHS # Ooh!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29# Ow! Yeah
0:09:29 > 0:09:30- # Shooby-do, - Ow
0:09:30 > 0:09:32# Shooby-doo, ribbit
0:09:32 > 0:09:34# Shooby-doo, ribbit... #
0:09:34 > 0:09:37They should stop. They'll spoil their voices.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39FROG COUGHS AND CROAKS
0:09:39 > 0:09:40# Ooh! Whoa... #
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Frog, stop!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's not a duet it's a duel to the bitter end.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47You must stop!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49# Shooby-doop, ribbit... #
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Ribbit.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53# Ooh, yeah... #
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Ribbit.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Tosha. Stop!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59This is not a duet...
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It's a duel!
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Ribbit! Ribbit!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06# Ooh, whoa-oh! #
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Ribbit. Ribbit.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Terrible, terrible.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11# Birds have won
0:10:11 > 0:10:16# We have won, we are happy! #
0:10:16 > 0:10:22Not Frog, or any other beast, would sing better than a bird ever again.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Ribbit, ribbit.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh no. Did I miss the duet?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31It was a duel! Frog has nothing left but a croak.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Nothing left but a croak.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38And that is why Frog croaks.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41He sang and he sang and he sang
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- until he had no more voice in him. - Ribbit.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45SQUAWK!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47SQUAWK!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49SQUAWK!
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Crow never sang again, whereas Parrot...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Whereas Parrot, whereas Parrot!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58..Well, that's a whole other story.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Ribbit!
