# Making that ZingZilla sound. #

Woo hoo!

Woo, woo, woo!

I think she's finished.

Woo hoo hoo!

Nope, she's started again.

Hello, what is Drum doing?

She's running round and round very fast, going, "Wooo!"

Oh, is today Running Very Fast And Shouting Woo Day?

Uh, no. Drum's very, very excited about today's big zing.

It's an extra special one, because...

(..it's at night.)

It's called...the Big Night Zing.

Oh, I see.

So why aren't you excited?

We are. We love playing at night.

It's just that we have a problem.

We have to get Drum to sleep.

If she doesn't go to sleep NOW,

-she won't be able to stay awake for the Big Night...

-No, don't say it!

Every time anybody says...

(Big Night Zing,)

Drum gets excited and goes...

Woo hoo hoo!

Just like that.

Oh, and good morning to you, Drum.

MWAH!

Oooh!

You really are excited, aren't you?

Look, I'm off to rake up some leaves

and YOU should try and get some sleep, little Drum.

Huh? What going on? Panzee?

Well, Drum, now that you're nice and quiet,

we have something to tell you.

We need you to stop being excited and go to sleep.

Yes. Because, as you probably know,

at the end of the day today, we're going to have a Big Night Zing!

NO!

Woo hoo hoo!

Getting Drum to sleep is going to be tough.

-Woooooo!

-Sorry.

I think it's going to be a VERY long day.

OK, OK, cool your coconuts, everybody.

Let me have a go at speaking to her.

Wooo!

Ohhh!

Woo hoo hoo!

-Oh, is that little Drum?

-Yes, she's excited.

Tonight's the Big Night Zing.

The Big Night Zing?! Woo hoo!

Oh, not you too.

Woo hoo hoo!

Would you be quiet?

Look, it's coconut number one.

-Three more to go.

-Three more.

Oh, I'm really excited. Woo hoo!

Oh, has Mr Gravel just heard about the Big Night Zing?

Sadly, yes.

-Woo hoo hoo!

-Oh, so which way did Drum go?

Coconut hut.

I'm on my way.

# The coconut hut is fabulous

# The coconut hut is marvellous

# Day or night, it's always right

# Never shut it's the coconut hut. #

Woo hoo hoo!

Aaargh!

Woo hoo hoo!

Hi, guys. Everyone all right?

# We're OK! #

-Hi, Tang.

-Hi, Drum.

Now, listen. I've got something to tell you, and to hear it,

you need to sit down, be very quiet and be very still.

OK, Tang.

It's about the Big Night...

Zingy thingy...

that's happening when the sun goes down and the moon comes up.

Now, before that, you're going to have to have a sleep.

OK, Tang.

Right, well...went better than I thought it would.

SHE GIGGLES

SHE SNORES

-Hey, Tang. What's happening?

-Shhh!

I've just managed to get Drum to sleep.

SHE GIGGLES

Are you sure?

SHE SNORES LOUDLY

Well, she is snoring.

Can you giggle and snore at the same time?

Um...looks like Drum can.

But if Drum's asleep, won't she miss the Big Night Zing?

No!

Woo-hooooo!

Not again! I have a problem, DJ.

Drum needs to have a sleep now

so she can stay awake tonight for the Big Night Zing.

Hmm, I see.

You know what you need for a job like this, Tang?

No. What?

Some sleepy music.

100% guaranteed to send even the most zippy, zingy ZingZilla

straight to sleep. Come with me, Tang. Come with me.

All right.

Whoa! I've seen one of those instruments before, DJ.

It's called a harp.

-You've got it, Tang. It is a harp.

-Cool!

Look at all those strings!

She has to use all her fingers to play them, doesn't she?

She does, Tang.

Her name is Catrin, and she's a harpist.

That's somebody who plays the harp.

She's plucking the strings with her fingers the way I do on the guitar.

Yes, and listen to the music, Tang.

Listen to that music.

Oh, it's really, really dreamy music.

Dreamy's a good word for it, Tang,

and you can only have dreams when...

-When you're asleep!

-Yes, when you're asleep.

Oh, it sounds like raindrops falling

or magical fairy bells ringing.

Oh, it's wonderful.

Oh, that's given me a great idea, DJ.

I'm going to get Drum to sleep by singing her a sleepy song.

What we call a lullaby.

That's it! A lullaby.

A slow, dreamy lullaby.

Ah, thanks, DJ.

I've got to tell the others.

Good luck, Tang.

Whoa!

Woooo!

Woooo!

Still wooing?

Yes, still wooing.

Oh, look out! It's coconut number two.

Two more to go before the Big Night Zing.

-Wooooo!

-Oh!

Hey, everybody, I've had a great idea!

What are you doing?

Shhh!

-We're just having a quiet moment.

-Yes.

Watching Drum running up and down and round and round

was making us dizzy, so we decided to head for the beach,

sit down and just be quiet.

So if you want to join us, you have to be quiet too.

Well, OK.

Being quiet's cool.

You know, I've been in the Glade, thinking some quiet thoughts.

I think I've worked out how we can get Drum to sleep.

BOTH: How?

We sing her a lullaby,

a gentle, quiet song that'll help send her to sleep.

Then, when she's had her sleep,

we can wake her up and practise the Big Night Zing together.

That's a brilliant idea.

So, what sort of song would send Drum to sleep?

Oh, we could sing about, about...

WIND SIGHS

The leaves rustling.

-WAVES BREAK

-Ho! Yes, the sound of the sea

swooshing on the stones.

SEAGULLS CALL

And seagulls calling!

Hey, ZingZillas, sounds like we've almost got ourselves a song!

Come on!

ALL: Let's go sing it!

# Dreamily the sea breeze

# Whispers through the palm trees

# Seagulls in the sunshine

# Sailing off to bedtime

# Drift away into sleep

# With those dreams that you keep

# So safe in the night

# Till daylight

# Drift away into sleep

# With those dreams that you keep

# So safe in the night

# Till daylight...

# ..comes. #

That's what I call a lullaby.

It's so dreamy!

And it worked! Wake up, Zak!

Come on! Let's find Drum and try it out on her.

Drum!

-Drum!

-Drum!

ALL: Drum!

(Shhh!)

(Stop! Stop!)

Oh, it's Todd.

Come down. I've got something to show you.

Come on!

Woooo!

Whee!

Yay!

Shush! Look over there.

It's Drum!

She's fast asleep.

She must have heard the lullaby we played and it sent her to sleep.

-Finally!

-Shhh!

Well, now perhaps she'll stay asleep

until it's time to practise for the Big Night Zing.

Todd!

Too late!

Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Now we'll never get her to sleep,

and then she'll be too tired to practise,

and then we won't be able to play the Big Night Zing!

This is a big problem.

-Big problem?

-It's more than that!

ALL: It's a disaster!

# Disaster!

# Disaster!

# Disaster! #

There's nothing else we can do.

We have to find Drum and get her to sleep.

OK. Let's split up. I'll look for her in the Coconut Hut.

-I'll look by the Moaning Stones.

-And I'll look for her in the jungle.

-Let's go!

-OK!

And I'll just stay here in case she comes back.

There it goes! That's coconut number three!

One more to go.

Right. Have you finally got yourself under control?

No more wooing?

No more wooing.

Hello, Mr Gravel. Hello, Mr Granite.

No. Not here.

-Are you looking for somebody, Panzee?

-Yes! Drum!

She's still very excited about the Big Night Zing!

Oh, no!

-Woooo!

-Oh, dear!

Hey, Zak.

DJ, DJ, have you seen Drum?

She's not here, Zak, although she did pass through.

# She passed through! #

Thanks. I'll try the jungle.

Drum! Dru-um! Where are you?

She's not by the Moaning Stones.

She's not in the Coconut Hut.

Well, then... she MUST be here somewhere.

HARP PLAYS IN DISTANCE

What's that?

It's music!

It's harp music!

And it's coming from the Glade.

Come on! I think I know where Drum is.

We're right behind you.

I knew it! Here she is.

Look. She's fast asleep.

-What is that music?

-It's harp music,

the dreamiest music in the world.

Drum must have been enjoying it so much,

she curled up here to listen and dozed off.

Ha! Then we've done it! Drum's asleep!

Well done, ZingZillas! Well done!

Hold on a minute.

-I've got bad news for you.

-Bad news?

Well, we've spent so long trying to get Drum to sleep,

it's almost night, so now,

if we want Drum to play in the Big Night Zing with us,

we need to wake her up!

ALL: Wake up, Drum! Wake up!

Yes, that's it, wake her up.

Oh, there goes...here it comes!

The last coconut!

ALL: It's Big Night Zing time!

Woo hoo hoo!

# ZingZillas

# ZingZillas

# ZingZillas. #

It's that time of the day when we like to say

it's Big Zing time!

So take it away.

Hi, everybody. It's a special night,

and we're going to sing a special lullaby with out friend Catrin.

It's called Drift Away.

# Dreamily the sea breeze

# Whispers through the palm trees

# Seagulls in the sunshine

# Sailing off to bedtime

# Drift away into sleep

# With those dreams that you keep

# So safe in the night

# Till daylight...

# Comes

# Dreamily the sea breeze

# Dreamily the sea breeze

# Whispers through the palm trees

# Whispers through the palm trees

# Seagulls in the sunshine

# Seagulls in the sunshine

# Sailing off to bedtime

# Sailing off to bedtime

# Drift away into sleep

# With those dreams that you keep

# So safe in the night

# Till daylight...

# Comes

# Drift away

# Drift away. #

SHE SNORES

ALL: That was the best Big Zing ever!

It was certainly the dreamiest.

Look! Drum's fast asleep.

Night, Todd.

Goodnight, ZingZillas.

DRUM GIGGLES

Drum! Go to sleep!
