# Tinga Tinga Tinga Tinga-a... #

0:00:510:00:54

Look at all my friends!

0:00:540:00:55

# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. #

0:00:550:00:58

I'll tell you why...

0:00:580:01:00

# La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. #

0:01:030:01:06

You see, there was a time when Frog didn't just ribbit,

0:01:060:01:10

he sang like a bird.

0:01:100:01:12

And when Frog sang, every beast in Tinga Tinga would come to listen.

0:01:120:01:18

Jambo, monkeys.

0:01:180:01:20

Settle down, monkeys.

0:01:200:01:23

# Frog is gonna sing he's gonna sing, he's gonna sing. #

0:01:230:01:27

-ALL: Shh!

-Here we go.

0:01:270:01:29

FROG CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:01:290:01:31

# The world is a song where a note is never wrong

0:01:310:01:35

# Where there is Tinga and there is Ting

0:01:350:01:38

# And you need no words to sing

0:01:380:01:41

# Yeah you need no words to sing

0:01:410:01:44

# I said you need no

0:01:440:01:46

# Yeah you need no

0:01:460:01:48

# You need no words to sing

0:01:480:01:50

# Yeah, do-bip-do-bop-a-do

0:01:500:01:53

# Bee-bop-a-dop-a-do

0:01:530:01:55

-# You need no words to sing... #

-Argh!

0:01:550:01:57

# Do-bop-a-do... #

0:01:570:01:59

Argh!

0:01:590:02:00

Hmm!

0:02:000:02:02

# You need no words to sing! #

0:02:020:02:05

ALL: Yeah! Woo!

0:02:050:02:06

THEY ALL LAUGH AND CHEER

0:02:060:02:09

Asante! Thank you so very much.

0:02:090:02:12

ALL: Bravo!

0:02:120:02:13

Thank you very much, asante!

0:02:130:02:15

Belissimo! Bravo, encore!

0:02:150:02:19

CROW GROWLS

0:02:190:02:20

Well done, Frog.

0:02:200:02:21

Well done, Frog?

0:02:210:02:23

Have all you birds gone mad? It's a frog!

0:02:230:02:26

He may look like a frog, but he sings like an angel.

0:02:260:02:30

I don't believe it!

0:02:300:02:32

Ah! This is a disgrace!

0:02:320:02:35

BIRDS: # What a voice... #

0:02:360:02:39

What a voice!

0:02:390:02:40

It is not right. It is not right, I tell you.

0:02:400:02:43

Crow, what's your problem?

0:02:430:02:45

Your Highness, I don't think it's right for a frog to sing.

0:02:450:02:49

We birds are supposed to sing. That's why it's called birdsong!

0:02:490:02:54

I agree with crow.

0:02:540:02:56

Where's our pride? Lions roar, snakes hiss

0:02:560:02:59

and birds sing.

0:02:590:03:01

Birds sing! Birds sing!

0:03:010:03:03

Well, most birds sing.

0:03:030:03:06

You, Parrot, just talk. Talk and copy.

0:03:060:03:09

-Copy-talk.

-I don't!

0:03:090:03:11

-You know you do.

-You know you do.

-See?

0:03:110:03:13

-HE SQUAWKS

-Tosha!

0:03:130:03:14

Enough!

0:03:140:03:15

Birds, please have some manners.

0:03:150:03:19

Frog sings very nicely. We have no right to stop him singing.

0:03:190:03:24

CROW COUGHS

0:03:240:03:25

# Ooh-hoo-oh-oh-hoo Oooh-hoo-ooh-ooh-oh-hoo. #

0:03:250:03:30

ALL: Bravo!

0:03:300:03:32

Maybe Crow is right. Birds are the masters of song.

0:03:320:03:35

Not frogs!

0:03:350:03:36

-# Not frogs, not frogs not frogs... #

-Not Frogs! Not Frogs!

0:03:360:03:40

Birds!

0:03:400:03:42

Why can't you both sing?

0:03:420:03:45

You could invite Frog to sing a duet with your greatest feathered singer,

0:03:450:03:50

Crow.

0:03:500:03:51

Sorry, Your Highness, what is a duet?

0:03:510:03:54

A duet means two voices singing together.

0:03:540:03:58

It sounds sweet and it sounds good, like this -

0:03:580:04:01

# Laa-la-la, laa-la-la... #

0:04:010:04:03

Are you ready, Crow?

0:04:030:04:05

Ha-ha-ha!

0:04:050:04:07

The Frog and Crow duet!

0:04:070:04:10

I shall look forward to it, birds.

0:04:100:04:13

But, if Crow and Frog do a duet,

0:04:130:04:16

how will we know who is the best singer?

0:04:160:04:19

This will not be a duet,

0:04:190:04:21

but a duel! Ha-ha!

0:04:210:04:24

Sorry, Your Eagleness, but what is a duel?

0:04:240:04:28

A duel is a battle of the voices to the bitter end.

0:04:280:04:32

Like this...

0:04:320:04:34

But that isn't what Lion meant.

0:04:360:04:38

But that is what it shall be! Ha-ha-ha!

0:04:380:04:41

A duel not a duet.

0:04:410:04:44

# A duel not a duet. #

0:04:440:04:46

A duel not a duet!

0:04:460:04:49

# A duel not a duet. #

0:04:490:04:51

It was wonderful, Frog.

0:04:530:04:55

When you sing, everyone is peaceful and happy.

0:04:550:04:59

Oh, you really think so?

0:04:590:05:00

Oh I don't THINK so, I KNOW so.

0:05:000:05:04

THEY LAUGH

0:05:040:05:07

Jambo, Frog.

0:05:080:05:09

Jambo, Crow.

0:05:090:05:11

I wanted to congratulate you on a very good concert last night.

0:05:110:05:17

Why thank you. Ha-ha!

0:05:170:05:19

A little bird once told me that you have a lovely singing voice, too.

0:05:190:05:25

Oh, you flatter me, Frog.

0:05:250:05:27

Actually, I was wondering if you would join me in a sing-song.

0:05:270:05:32

You know, like a duet?

0:05:320:05:34

To sing a duet with a bird - what an honour!

0:05:340:05:38

Tonight.

0:05:380:05:40

I would be delighted.

0:05:400:05:42

Excellent!

0:05:420:05:44

A duet to end all duets!

0:05:440:05:47

HE LAUGHS

0:05:470:05:49

I don't trust Crow, she twitches too much.

0:05:490:05:52

Well, I jump too much and you like me.

0:05:520:05:57

Jumpy is not the same as twitchy.

0:05:570:06:00

Something's not right.

0:06:000:06:02

HE TRUMPETS

0:06:020:06:04

A duet!

0:06:050:06:07

A duet with Crow and Frog at the lilypond tonight.

0:06:070:06:11

-HIPPO GIGGLES

-A duet!

0:06:110:06:13

Hurry, Tortoise, or you'll miss the concert.

0:06:170:06:20

# A duet

0:06:200:06:22

# A Crow and Frog duet... #

0:06:220:06:25

Oooh!

0:06:250:06:26

Hey!

0:06:260:06:27

# A Crow and Frog duet... #

0:06:270:06:29

A Crow and Frog duet tonight, pass it on.

0:06:290:06:33

A duet, pass it on!

0:06:330:06:35

A duet, pass it on!

0:06:350:06:37

A duet, pass it on!

0:06:370:06:38

Ooh! Ha-ha! Huh?

0:06:380:06:41

# A Crow and Frog duet. #

0:06:410:06:43

Remember, Crow.

0:06:450:06:47

You must sing and sing and do not stop.

0:06:470:06:51

Make sure the last sound the animals hear is your own.

0:06:510:06:55

A duel not a duet.

0:06:550:06:58

A duel not a duet.

0:06:580:07:00

Shh! Frog mustn't find out.

0:07:000:07:02

Frog mustn't find out, Frog mustn't find out!

0:07:020:07:07

# Frog mustn't find out. #

0:07:070:07:09

THEY CHATTER

0:07:100:07:13

Shh! Shh!

0:07:150:07:16

# Here's a song that's sung for you

0:07:270:07:33

# A song that's sung by two

0:07:330:07:37

# Cos a song is much more fun

0:07:390:07:44

# Sung by two and not by one

0:07:440:07:50

BOTH: # Yes a song is much more fun

0:07:500:07:56

# Sung by two and not by one

0:07:560:08:02

# Shooby-do-bap-ba # Shooby-do-bap-ba

0:08:040:08:07

# Shooby-do, boop-ba-doop... #

0:08:070:08:09

Ooh, I love Frog's voice.

0:08:090:08:12

Ooh, it brings out the beast in you!

0:08:120:08:14

Rrrr! Ha-ha!

0:08:140:08:16

Not bad for a Frog!

0:08:160:08:17

Not a patch on Crow. Frog's voice is too low.

0:08:170:08:20

Ooh-oh! Listen! That bird can sing, you know?

0:08:200:08:24

Frog sings better.

0:08:240:08:25

But Crow sings higher.

0:08:250:08:27

But Frog's got soul and that's what matters.

0:08:270:08:31

# Doop-ba-doo-ba-bap, doop-ba-doo

0:08:310:08:34

# Shoo-wa-wup, shoo-wa-wup

0:08:340:08:37

# Shoo-wa-wup-a, boop-ba-doo

0:08:370:08:40

# Shoo-ba-doo-bup, shoo-da

0:08:400:08:43

# Shoop-a-doop-a-doop-ahh

0:08:430:08:45

# Mmm

0:08:450:08:46

# Shoop-a-loop-ay, loop-a-loo

0:08:460:08:49

# Shooby-doop, shooby-doop

0:08:490:08:52

# Shooby-doop-ah-ah, # Shooby-doop-ah-ah

0:08:520:08:55

# shooby-doop-ah... #

0:08:550:08:57

How silly I was to worry.

0:08:570:09:00

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard -

0:09:000:09:03

A duet to end all duets.

0:09:030:09:06

A duel not a duet!

0:09:060:09:08

No animal must know, especially not Frog.

0:09:080:09:11

Oh!

0:09:110:09:13

Not a duet?

0:09:130:09:14

Oh!

0:09:140:09:16

# Shooby-do

0:09:160:09:17

HE COUGHS

0:09:170:09:19

# Ooh... #

0:09:190:09:20

FROG COUGHS

0:09:200:09:21

-Hmm.

-They'll both ruin their voices.

0:09:210:09:24

FROG CROAKS AND COUGHS # Ooh!

0:09:240:09:26

# Ow! Yeah

0:09:260:09:29

-# Shooby-do,

-Ow

0:09:290:09:30

# Shooby-doo, ribbit

0:09:300:09:32

# Shooby-doo, ribbit... #

0:09:320:09:34

They should stop. They'll spoil their voices.

0:09:340:09:37

FROG COUGHS AND CROAKS

0:09:370:09:39

# Ooh! Whoa... #

0:09:390:09:40

Frog, stop!

0:09:400:09:42

It's not a duet it's a duel to the bitter end.

0:09:420:09:45

You must stop!

0:09:450:09:47

# Shooby-doop, ribbit... #

0:09:470:09:49

Ribbit.

0:09:490:09:51

# Ooh, yeah... #

0:09:510:09:53

Ribbit.

0:09:530:09:54

Tosha. Stop!

0:09:540:09:57

This is not a duet...

0:09:570:09:59

It's a duel!

0:09:590:10:01

Ribbit! Ribbit!

0:10:010:10:03

# Ooh, whoa-oh! #

0:10:030:10:06

Ribbit. Ribbit.

0:10:060:10:08

Terrible, terrible.

0:10:080:10:10

# Birds have won

0:10:100:10:11

# We have won, we are happy! #

0:10:110:10:16

Not Frog, or any other beast, would sing better than a bird ever again.

0:10:160:10:22

Ribbit, ribbit.

0:10:220:10:24

Oh no. Did I miss the duet?

0:10:240:10:27

It was a duel! Frog has nothing left but a croak.

0:10:270:10:31

Nothing left but a croak.

0:10:310:10:34

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!

0:10:340:10:36

And that is why Frog croaks.

0:10:360:10:38

He sang and he sang and he sang

0:10:380:10:41

-until he had no more voice in him.

-Ribbit.

0:10:410:10:44

SQUAWK!

0:10:440:10:45

SQUAWK!

0:10:450:10:47

SQUAWK!

0:10:470:10:49

Crow never sang again, whereas Parrot...

0:10:490:10:53

Whereas Parrot, whereas Parrot!

0:10:530:10:55

..Well, that's a whole other story.

0:10:550:10:58

Ribbit!
