0:00:150:00:17

# Tinga Tinga is a land of whys

0:00:170:00:20

# You won't believe your eyes

0:00:200:00:23

# Why I swing from tree to tree

0:00:230:00:25

# Why my trunk is long

0:00:250:00:27

-# Why I'm so slow

-Why I tick

0:00:270:00:29

# Why my skin is smooth and slick

0:00:290:00:31

# You ask why, why, why, why, why?

0:00:310:00:33

# Why?

0:00:330:00:35

# You ask why, why, why, why, why?

0:00:350:00:38

-# There's a story

-# Tinga Tinga Tinga Tinga-a... #

-Look at all my friends!

0:00:510:00:55

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

-I'll tell you why...

0:00:550:01:00

Call that a strut?

0:01:030:01:05

Aha-ha-ha!

0:01:050:01:07

This is a strut.

0:01:070:01:09

But you see there was a time when Peacock didn't strut.

0:01:140:01:18

-What's going on?

-It's the Tinga Tinga bird brain contest.

0:01:180:01:23

-Ooh.

-It's Owl against Peacock.

-And we want Owl to win.

0:01:230:01:28

Are you ready?

0:01:280:01:29

-Uh-huh.

-Ah-ha-ha.

0:01:290:01:32

I am the biggest bird in Tinga Tinga but I cannot fly. Who am I?

0:01:320:01:38

Ah...

0:01:390:01:41

Erm... I know this one!

0:01:410:01:44

-Come on!

-Do it! Do it!

-Come on.

0:01:440:01:46

Ostrich. Ostrich is the answer.

0:01:460:01:49

Ostrich is correct!

0:01:490:01:51

Peacock is the winner.

0:01:510:01:54

Thank you, birds. Better luck next time, Owl.

0:01:570:02:01

Hmm. Be careful, Peacock. Pride comes before a fall, you know.

0:02:020:02:08

-Peacock always wins.

-Peacock always wins, Peacock always wins.

0:02:080:02:12

Well, that's just the way it is. Some birds are born winners

0:02:120:02:17

and others are born...

0:02:170:02:18

losers.

0:02:180:02:19

Squawk! Well, I never.

0:02:190:02:22

You see, Peacock was rather good at everything.

0:02:220:02:26

Which was very annoying.

0:02:260:02:29

It's the bird race! The birds are coming!

0:02:290:02:32

MONKEYS SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

0:02:320:02:34

Mustn't let that proud peacock win...

0:02:360:02:38

Faster! Faster!

0:02:380:02:40

MONKEYS: Eagle! Eagle! Eagle!

0:02:410:02:44

PEACOCK: Ha-ha-ha!

0:02:440:02:45

Oh!

0:02:450:02:47

Ho-ho, the winner...

0:02:470:02:49

again!

0:02:490:02:50

Oh, no.

0:02:500:02:52

Maybe you'll beat me next time, Vulture.

0:02:520:02:56

But then again, maybe you won't.

0:02:560:02:58

Ah-ha-ha!

0:02:580:03:00

Well, I never.

0:03:000:03:01

BIRDS SING IN HARMONY

0:03:030:03:06

Ooh, that's beautiful.

0:03:100:03:13

You can't get more beautiful than that.

0:03:130:03:16

-# Rest your head and close your eyes

-Peacock

0:03:170:03:22

-# Sleep beneath the Tinga sky

-Peacock...

-#

0:03:220:03:28

Peacock! Not again.

0:03:280:03:30

# Rest your head and close your eyes

0:03:300:03:34

# Sleep beneath the Tinga sky. #

0:03:340:03:38

-What were you saying, Tortoise?

-Well, I was mistaken.

0:03:380:03:42

Peacock's voice is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

0:03:420:03:47

# ..Close your eyes... #

0:03:470:03:51

Some bird has got to teach that proud peacock a lesson.

0:03:510:03:55

Mmm. I've got an idea that will ruffle his tail feathers.

0:03:550:04:00

Mmm-mmm.

0:04:000:04:01

So, Vulture and myself thought Lion could choose the bird

0:04:060:04:11

with the prettiest tail in Tinga Tinga.

0:04:110:04:15

# What a good idea!

0:04:150:04:19

-# Who has the prettiest tail. #

-Oh, dear...

0:04:190:04:22

Oh, me. Oh, me, oh, my.

0:04:220:04:24

Ready to enter the prettiest tail competition, eh? Eh? Eh?

0:04:240:04:30

Ah, ha! Quite the opposite, dear Vulture.

0:04:300:04:33

It's high-time some other bird had a chance, don't you think?

0:04:330:04:37

I've decided to spend my time with the animals. They're so much...

0:04:370:04:42

better. Goodbye.

0:04:420:04:43

Well, I never!

0:04:430:04:45

Ah, Peacock. Jambo. How very nice to see you.

0:04:490:04:53

Thank you, Lion.

0:04:530:04:54

Mmm-hmm. Birds kicked you out, have they?

0:04:540:04:57

They're having a prettiest tail competition.

0:04:570:05:01

-I mean, what good is a tail?

-Very good for swatting flies, Peacock.

0:05:010:05:07

-And for swinging in the trees!

-Woo!

0:05:070:05:09

Hehe!

0:05:090:05:10

-You've got to have a tail.

-Even I've got a little tail.

0:05:100:05:14

Oh, but what's the point?

0:05:140:05:17

Oh, there's a point, Peacock.

0:05:170:05:20

# You see, you can shake them, and you can snake them

0:05:200:05:23

# You can tickle with them Till you make them sneeze... #

0:05:230:05:27

Ah-choo!

0:05:270:05:29

# When you swing from tree to tree

0:05:290:05:32

# It's your tail holds on, you see

0:05:320:05:35

# And if swinging's not your thing

0:05:350:05:40

# Then a tail can be so pretty. #

0:05:400:05:44

Oh, tails have their uses, all right!

0:05:440:05:47

ALL: # Shake them, shake them Oh, you're never going to fail

0:05:470:05:51

# If you got a lovely tail

0:05:510:05:54

# Hallelujah Here's my tail

0:05:540:05:59

# Hallelujah We've got a tail. #

0:06:010:06:07

I want one. I simply have to have one. I want a tail.

0:06:080:06:13

Peacock, sometimes we can't always have what we want.

0:06:130:06:18

But I want a tail!

0:06:180:06:20

-Peacock, we can't just give you a tail.

-Yes, you can.

0:06:210:06:25

Yes, you can!

0:06:250:06:26

Pull on my stubby feathers. Go on. Pull.

0:06:260:06:29

THEY GASP

0:06:290:06:30

-Well, don't just stand there. Pull!

-Are you sure?

0:06:300:06:34

Absolutely. Grab a stubby little feather and pull.

0:06:340:06:38

Oh, well...

0:06:380:06:41

THEY ALL HEAVE

0:06:410:06:42

I must have that tail!

0:06:420:06:44

Look, Peacock. You have a lovely tail.

0:06:490:06:52

No, not nearly long enough!

0:06:520:06:55

More. I must have more. Come on.

0:06:550:06:59

I want to shake my tail feathers too!

0:06:590:07:03

There, Peacock. Have a look now.

0:07:030:07:05

No, no, no. I must have more.

0:07:050:07:07

I must have the biggest and the best tail in Tinga Tinga.

0:07:070:07:11

What's Peacock's problem?

0:07:110:07:13

I don't know, Elephant. Just do as you're told.

0:07:130:07:16

And...pull!

0:07:160:07:18

ALL HEAVE

0:07:180:07:21

Ooh! Right. That's it. That's enough.

0:07:230:07:27

Oh, all right. Let me see how I look.

0:07:270:07:31

No! No! The colour. It's as dull as ditch water.

0:07:330:07:39

I don't do dull. I do beautiful.

0:07:390:07:43

Elephant, call Chameleon.

0:07:430:07:45

ELEPHANT TRUMPETS

0:07:450:07:47

Chameleon!

0:07:470:07:48

-What's up?

-Peacock here wants some colour on his tail.

0:07:480:07:54

It's quite a big job.

0:07:540:07:56

-What did you have in mind?

-Simply the best.

-To work, then.

0:07:560:08:01

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm...

0:08:010:08:03

Ha-ha!

0:08:030:08:05

-What do you think?

-I must have more.

0:08:090:08:13

Fine by me.

0:08:130:08:14

-Now what do you think?

-More! More, I tell you.

0:08:190:08:23

You're the boss.

0:08:230:08:24

And now?

0:08:280:08:29

What do you think?

0:08:290:08:31

He'll never be able to flap.

0:08:310:08:33

-Might teach that proud bird a lesson.

-Ah...

0:08:330:08:36

There, Peacock. All the colours of the rainbow!

0:08:370:08:40

Ha-ha-ha! Oh, finally.

0:08:400:08:44

Perfection.

0:08:440:08:46

That's definitely the biggest and the best tail in Tinga Tinga.

0:08:460:08:50

Now, I'm definitely going to win the prettiest tail in Tinga Tinga too!

0:08:500:08:57

-Aw! Now it all makes sense.

-Peacock wants to win again.

0:08:570:09:02

Mm-hmm.

0:09:020:09:04

Tinga Tinga, to find out which bird has the prettiest tail.

0:09:060:09:10

Hmm. Very impressive. Very impressive.

0:09:110:09:14

-Yes, very beautiful.

-Thank you.

0:09:140:09:17

Vulture, hmm, Flamingo...

0:09:170:09:20

The winner of the prettiest tail in Tinga Tinga has to go, I'm afraid,

0:09:200:09:25

to Peacock!

0:09:250:09:26

Ha-ha-ha!

0:09:260:09:28

ALL: Peacock?! Not again!

0:09:280:09:30

Thank you all so very much.

0:09:300:09:32

I don't believe it!

0:09:320:09:35

And now it is time to bid you all farewell!

0:09:350:09:41

Oh! Oh...

0:09:410:09:43

Oh! Ooh...

0:09:430:09:46

-Oh-oh...

-Ho-ho-ho!

0:09:460:09:48

Pride comes before a fall, Peacock.

0:09:480:09:52

If only you hadn't wanted such a big tail.

0:09:520:09:55

New tail too big for your body, Peacock?

0:09:550:09:59

No, no, no.

0:09:590:10:01

It's perfect.

0:10:010:10:04

Agh...

0:10:040:10:05

Ugh.

0:10:050:10:07

Oh...

0:10:070:10:08

-Look at Peacock.

-He's fallen over.

-We'll help.

0:10:110:10:14

There...

0:10:140:10:15

-VULTURE:

-Your tail is too big and too heavy. You can't even walk.

0:10:150:10:20

Oh... Don't be ridiculous. I can walk perfectly well.

0:10:200:10:26

See...

0:10:260:10:28

That's not a walk. That's a strut!

0:10:280:10:32

So what? I like strutting.

0:10:320:10:34

Suits me perfectly.

0:10:350:10:36

Hee-hee...

0:10:360:10:39

Ho-ho...

0:10:390:10:40

And that's why fancy-pantsy Peacock struts.

0:10:400:10:43

-Look at that silly strut!

-Hee-hee!

0:10:460:10:48

Oh, stop your squawking, baldy!

0:10:480:10:51

Well, I never!

0:10:510:10:53

And Vulture's bald head - well, that's a whole other story.

0:10:530:10:58

Hee-hee-hee!
