# Making that ZingZilla sound. #

Are you comfy?

Yes, Tang.

OK. Well, this story is all about the day

the Beach Byrds first came to the island.

-Ooh!

-It was a bright sunshiny morning

and Todd was very, very busy.

Good morning, Todd.

And a very good morning to you, Panzee.

How do I look?

-You look smart!

-Thank you.

I'm meeting some new friends at the Coconut Hut...

The, erm, Beach Byrds.

Ooh, who are the Beach Byrds, Todd?

They're three birds who are here on holiday

and they want to have a look around our lovely island.

Oh, and you're going to show them round?

I am, I am.

I'm their tour guide.

That's somebody who shows people around.

Well, you'd better hurry, Todd, you don't want to miss them.

No, I don't. See you later.

Bye, Todd.

But Todd didn't know that the Beach Byrds had already arrived.

-Oh, no!

-Oh, yes!

HE SNORES

GIGGLING

Wh-what?

Uh?

ALL: # Good morning! #

Oh... Erm, hello.

Welcome to the Coconut Hut.

# We are the Beach Byrds. #

Oh, very nice to meet you.

I'm DJ Loose and I run this...

slightly messy place.

# Oh, we're here to visit the island. #

Oh, really?

Well, then, let me get you a welcome-to-the-island juice.

I'll see if I can find a menu.

Oh...

# There's no hurry

# We'll take a look around the island first. #

Found them! They...

Oh, where have those Beach Byrds gone?

Good morning to you, DJ.

Morning to you, Todd.

What a beautiful day. Oh, thank you.

I think I'll have a small mango juice

while I'm waiting for my friends.

Coming right up.

So, who are these friends you're waiting for, Todd?

Oh, a small party of Beach Byrds.

-Oh...

-Oh?

You've just missed them.

-What?

-Well, they were here a few minutes ago

and now they've gone.

Gone? But I'm supposed to be showing them round the island.

Oh, no.

Erm... Put that mango juice on ice, I'll have it later.

All right, Toddles. Ha-ha-ha!

-# Look out.

-What's that?

-Over there.

-This way. #

Well, there go the Beach Byrds off on their tour of the island.

Yes, with no tour guide.

They could get completely and utterly lost.

Come back, Beach Byrds, come back!

Ooh... Oh, Granite, look.

BOTH: It's coconut number one!

Only three more to go until the Big Zing.

-Hello, Stones.

-Good morning, Todd.

I don't suppose you've seen any Beach Byrds, have you?

BOTH: Jungle!

Jungle? oh, dear.

They're going to get completely and utterly lost.

But the Beach Byrds weren't completely and utterly lost.

-They had map?

-That's right, Drum, they had a map.

What a lovely jungle... Ah!

Oh, hello.

# Hello... #

I'm Zak.

# We're the Beach Byrds. #

Oh, hi. Panzee told me you were visiting the island.

Have you heard any music yet?

# Not yet. #

But this is a musical island, you have to hear some music.

-You need to visit the Glade.

-# The Glade? #

Yes, it's a beautiful place where all our musical friends

come to play for us.

There's a gamelan orchestra there right now!

# We love music, thank you, Zak. #

Oh, no problem.

Beach Byrds, Beach Byrds!

Oh, where have they got to?

Ooh.

Hmm, a feather.

And poor old Todd headed off in the wrong direction.

He didn't know that the Beach Byrds were already on their way to...

-The Glade!

-Ho-ho, right again, Drum.

Welcome to the Glade.

Are you having a nice tour around the island?

# We are. #

I though Todd was with you?

# Who's Todd? #

He's your tour guide.

Oh dear, he can't have caught up with you yet.

Never mind...

While you're waiting for him,

have a listen to my friends, Gamelan Lila Cita.

And watch the wonderful performer Cecily Fay.

GAMELAN MUSIC PLAYS

This is gamelan music from Indonesia.

# We like the dancing. #

Yes, it's a martial arts movement, called silat.

It's very beautiful, isn't it?

Gamelan orchestras have all sorts of musical instruments in them.

# We love this musical island. #

Ha-ha-ha! Well, right now,

the ZingZillas should be practising their song for the Big Zing.

You should check out the Clubhouse.

-# We will. #

-Bye-bye, ladies.

Oh... Oh dear, perhaps I should have asked them to wait for Todd.

But it was too late.

So DJ headed back to the messy Coconut Hut.

What about Todd?

Well, just as DJ had left, Todd arrived in the Glade.

Woo-hoo... Oh!

Beach Byrds... Hello!

Beach Byrds! Oh...

Well, they're not here.

Ooh, another feather.

Hmm...?

Follow the trail of feathers, Todd. Follow the feathers.

Well, really! I'm not sure Todd knows what he's doing.

Didn't we book a tour of the island with him?

-Yes, we're due to go next week.

-Cancel it!

I don't want to get lost in the jungle.

We'll stay at home and count coconuts instead.

Right-o! Oh, look...!

BOTH: It's coconut number two!

Only two more to go till the Big Zing.

-PIANO PLAYS

-Ooh, listen, I hear something.

# This is our island home

# Let me help you settle in

# You can call the place your own

# Let the guided tour begin

# Up where the bananas grow

# Here's the Clubhouse in the trees

# Todd lives in the cave below

# Taking care of all you see. #

Yay!

-Hey, Beach Byrds, you're wonderful singers.

-# Thank you! #

And your gamelan dancing was beautiful, Drum.

I think we're almost ready for the Big Zing.

Those Beach Byrds could really sing, couldn't they?

They have lovely singing voices.

Hey, why don't we ask them to sing with us in the Big Zing?

It would be the perfect end to their visit.

-That's the best idea I've ever heard...ever!

-Yay!

-Let's call them back.

-That is also the best idea I've ever heard ever!

THEY LAUGH

Beach Byrds!

Beach Byrds!

Oh, they've gone!

Ooh, look!

-Map.

-It's the Beach Byrds' map of the jungle.

-They must have dropped it when they left.

-But without it,

-they'll be utterly and completely lost.

-Oh...

That is a bit of a problem.

Problem?

ALL: It's a disaster!

# Disaster!

# Disaster!

# Disaster! #

There's only one person who can help us find the Beach Byrds,

their tour guide, Todd.

Let's go, ZingZillas!

-To the banana cars.

-Yay!

It was a disaster!

The Beach Byrds were wandering round the jungle without a map

and Todd was chasing round the jungle looking for the Beach Byrds.

And the ZingZillas were chasing after Todd,

so that he could fetch the Beach Byrds back for the Big Zing.

-All very confusing!

-Very confusing.

I'm very confused.

Hmm. Perhaps my Beach Byrds are stuck in the undergrowth.

Erm... Got to be somewhere round here.

# This way... #

Uh, hello?

Did I hear somebody?

Oh, this is all very strange.

Erm... What about over here?

# No, this way... #

Hey, hey?

I must be imagining things.

Erm, how about...?

# No, we were right the first time. #

What? Oh.

Oh, another feather.

-This way, ZingZillas.

-Yay!

Come on!

BOTH: No!

They all keep missing each other.

Oh, this is too frustrating.

If everybody keeps missing each other,

-they'll all end up missing the Big Zing.

-Oh, look...

BOTH: Coconut number three!

-Only one more to go.

-Oh, where is everybody?

Well, there's no sign of Todd.

-ZingZillas?

-Todd!

Oh, how lovely to see you.

And you. We're on a Todd hunt!

Oh, well, now you've found me, what can I do for you?

We need to find the Beach Byrds, Todd.

Well, so do I. I'm supposed to be giving them a tour of the island.

But all I keep finding are these feathers, not much use, eh?

Are you sure, Todd?

Look!

Oh, that's it! We just have to follow the trail of feathers

and we'll find the Beach Byrds.

-Come on, everyone!

-Yay!

-Do you remember what happened next, Drum?

-Uh-huh!

Todd and the ZingZillas followed the trail of feathers

-to see where the Beach Byrds had got to.

-Ooh!

And the trail of feathers led right back to...

The Coconut Hut!

Hello, everybody.

ALL: Hi, DJ!

Hey, the Coconut Hut looks very tidy.

I've had some help cleaning up.

Who from?

# From us... #

ALL: The Beach Byrds!

Beach Byrds? Oh, at last.

You are tricky to find.

Now, I have a busy tour planned for you.

First of all, I must show you the Moaning Stones.

# Been there! #

Oh, well, erm... How about the Clubhouse?

Seen it!

-The Glade?

-# Been there! #

THEY LAUGH

-The jungle?

-Seen it!

Oh dear, you've done the whole tour.

-# Ah... #

-You seem to know every inch of the island.

That's why the Beach Byrds were able to get back here without a map.

Oh, yes. Right, well, I expect you'll just want to go home now?

Actually, Todd, I don't think so.

# We like it so much We want to stay. #

Stay? But where will you live?

Right here in the Coconut Hut.

Oh!

I've invited them to live here, Todd.

I need some help to keep the place nice and tidy.

Hey, that means that the Beach Byrds can sing in the Big Zing.

-Every time we play one.

-Yay!

Oh, welcome, Beach Byrds.

Welcome, Beach Byrds!

Oh, and look, it's...

BOTH: The last coconut!

ALL: It's time for the Big Zing!

# 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!

ALL: Hello!

We're the ZingZillas and today we're going to sing our gamelan song,

with the help of lots of special guests.

Gamelan Lila Cita, the wonderful Cecily Fay,

our newest friends, the Beach Byrds,

-and Drum dancing too.

-Yay!

And that's the story of the Beach Byrds' first day on the island.

Did you enjoy it, Drum?

Drum thinks story...very funny!

We enjoyed it too.

Poor Todd.

He did a lot of running around the jungle that day, didn't he?

-Poor Todd.

-Why don't you go and say goodnight to him now, Drum?

OK, Tang.

Night, Todd.

Goodnight, ZingZillas.
