# Da-da-dum da-da-daaa

# Da-da-da da-da-dum. #

Wow!

This music sounds great played slowlier and quietly.

Oh! I'm sure Zak could write some great words to go with it too.

It'll make the best Big Zing ever!

Zak! Zak!

Zak? Are you in here?

I've got a great song I want you to hear.

Oh! What's this? A parcel?

Oh...there's a label!

"To my good friend Tang."

It's for me!

But who's it from?

Surprise, Tang!

I've got you a present.

A present?! Oh, wow! Thanks!

Oh! Oh, it's a lovely, shiny...

Hooter!

Press it! Press it!

-HORN HONKS

-Aaaa ha ha!

What a funny sound!

Isn't it great? Press it again. Press it again!

HONK! HONK! HONK!

It's a brilliant sound for The Big Zing, don't you think?

Oh...um, well...

I've got a song for The Big Zing, and it's really quiet and peaceful.

But the hooter's quite loud.

Yes! It's a great sound.

Hey, just wait till I tell Panzee and Drum

you're playing a hooter in The Big Zing. They'll love it!

But, Zak...

Oh.

Oh, I really don't think this hooter will sound right in the song.

I think we need a smooth, dreamy sound,

but the hooter makes you want to run and jump.

Oh, what can I do?

If only I could make it disappear until after The Big Zing.

Hmmm...hang on!

If I hide the hooter, it'll only be gone for a while

and then it can appear again in time for the next Big Zing.

Perfect!

To hoot or not to hoot. That is the question.

Zak says yes, but Tang says no.

I don't think Tang should hide that hooter.

Oh, look out! It's time for...

-BOTH:

-Coconut number one!

Three more coconuts to go before The Big Zing.

There. The perfect hooter hiding place.

Tang! Tang!

Panzee and Drum are over at the glade,

listening to DJ's special guest.

You've got to come along and show them your hooter too.

They're so excited!

Oh...yes. My hooter.

Hurry up! We'll miss the performance.

Oh...hold on.

The hooter has gone!

You've lost the hooter? But I only just gave it to you.

I'm sure it will turn up later, Zak,

and then we can play it in the next Big Zing.

But I want you to play it in today's Big Zing.

Hello, you two. This morning's post has arrived

and here's your comic, Zak.

Thanks, Todd.

You don't sound very pleased, Zak. You usually love your comic.

I'm sorry, Todd.

It's just that I got Tang a hooter as a present for The Big Zing

and now it's gone missing.

A missing hooter, eh?

Well, don't panic. I'll think of something.

Well, what is it? What is it?

Er...well, maybe if I have a sit down for a minute,

then I'll think of something.

HORN HONKS Ooh! What was that?

I know that sound. That's...

Ha ha! The hooter! Oh ho! Look!

Todd found it, Tang!

Well done, Todd.

Come on! Let's go to the glade before we miss DJ's special guests.

-Thanks, Todd.

-Happy listening, ZingZillas.

Come on, Tang! DJ's guests will have started playing!

Oooh...another hooter hiding place!

Tang! Hurry up!

Coming!

Shhhh!

SWEETLY MELODIC FLUTE MUSIC

Hi, ZingZillas. I'm proud to introduce my good friend James.

Oh, what a lovely, quiet sound. DJ, what's that instrument?

That's called a flute, Zak.

Watch how James plays it by blowing across that small hole at the top.

The flute is often used as a quiet and gentle sound in music,

but listen to this.

Hey, James! Play us some faster, jazzy music, if you please.

BOUNCING, TRILLING MUSIC

You can play an instrument in different ways

for a different kind of musical sound.

-ALL:

-Yay!

Thanks, DJ. That music was great!

Yes! It got me in the mood to practise. Let's go!

See you later.

Whoa!

Wha-uh-uh!

Woooo!

I think the quieter flute sound will be perfect for my song.

And the song will sound even better with your

hooter playing as well, Tang. Who wants to hear Tang's hooter?

Oh, yes, please, Tang! Zak's told us all about your hooter.

Hooter! Hooter!

Um...OK.

Oh...strange.

It's not in my pocket.

What? You've lost the hooter...again?

Quick, everyone! Let's search the jungle high and low.

We've got to find that hooter in time for The Big Zing.

OK, Zak!

Ooh! I wonder if the afternoon post has arrived yet.

HORN HONKS

Oooh! Now, hang on a minute.

Hmmm. How did Tang's hooter get in there?

He'll be needing this for The Big Zing.

Tang? Tang!

-HORN HONKS IN DISTANCE

-That's strange...

Sounds like someone's found the hooter.

Hello, Tang. I found your hooter in my post box.

Gave me quite a jump!

HONK!

Oh...great. Thanks, Todd.

Any time, Tang. Well, I must be going.

Got a big plumbing job to do.

Oh. Forgot my tool box. What am I like?

See you later!

Looks like I need another hooter hiding place.

Um...oh! Maybe The Coconut Hut!

It'll be nice and safe there till after The Big Zing.

Perfect!

I wish Tang would stop hiding that hooter.

It's causing more trouble than an elephant on roller skates.

Yes, and Zak gets so worried when he can't find...

Look! There goes...

-BOTH:

-Coconut number two!

There are only two more coconuts to go before The Big Zing.

Just put it there.

Tang!

DJ! Hello!

What were you doing down there?

Oh...um...

Oh, DJ! I'm hiding the hooter from Zak.

It's just too loud for today's Big Zing.

But Zak loves that hooter sound.

I know. And I know I should tell Zak the truth.

Well, you can tell him now.

We can't find the hooter anywhere in the jungle.

Panzee and Drum are still looking. I think it's really gone this time.

Ahem...

Um, look, Zak. I've got something to tell you.

Hello, everyone. Right, DJ.

Broken pipes to fix, you say? Well, I'll get straight on it.

Don't mind me.

Tang, what were you going to say?

HAMMER BANGS AND HORN HONKS

Oh, yes. Sorry, Zak.

Well, the thing is...

How's a mandrill supposed to fix the plumbing round here

with this in the way?

This hooter gets everywhere.

You found Tang's hooter again!

Thanks, Todd. Come on, Tang.

Let's go and get Panzee and Drum and practise right now!

THEY PLAY GENTLE MUSIC

HONK!

HONK!

HONK!

HONK!

Oh, I'm sorry, Zak, but I'm not playing the hooter any more.

It's just too loud for the quiet music, and every time I honk it,

I have to stop playing my guitar.

But, Tang, I thought you were pleased with your hooter.

Well...I was trying to tell you earlier, Zak.

The hooter wasn't lost. I hid it -

under the cushion, in the post box and in The Coconut Hut.

THEY GASP

-Hiding the hooter?

-Yes.

I do like the hooter sound, Zak.

Just not in this song.

You knew where the hooter was all the time we were looking.

Well! No hooter, no Zak.

THEY GASP

No Zak, no Big Zing!

Oh, dear! This is a problem!

This is not a problem, Tang - this is a disaster!

PACEY MUSIC

# Disaster!

# Disaster!

# Disaster! #

I never meant to upset Zak.

Zak really sad.

I know what you mean about the hooter being too loud for the song, Tang,

but I love its sound!

HONK!

And it is a lovely present from Zak.

You're right. I just don't know what to do for the best.

I'm going to ask DJ. Maybe he can help.

DJ, you were right. I shouldn't have hidden the hooter.

HORN HONKS AND BEACH BYRDS SCREAM

But I still don't think the hooter sounds right for the song.

-You say the hooter's not right for the song?

-Yes.

Well, sometimes you need to look at a problem the other way round.

What do you mean?

Maybe the song is not right for the hooter.

But I really love my song.

Well, you can still play the song, Tang,

but if you play the song's music in a different kind of way,

the hooter might sound good.

Oh! You mean like the flute in the glade

when James changed his music from slow and quiet to fast and loud!

Exactly.

OK! I'll give it a try. Thanks, DJ!

Always a pleasure.

Will Tang find a way to use that hooter?

He's not got long to put that hooter in his song, because it's...

-BOTH:

-Coconut number three!

And now there's only one more coconut to go before The Big Zing.

There you are, Zak.

Ah. Hi, Tang.

I'm sorry, Zak. I should have listened to the hooter sound

more carefully when you first gave it to me,

instead of hiding it out the way.

That was wrong.

Well, yes.

But I suppose the hooter is very loud,

and your song is very quiet.

Maybe we shouldn't use it in The Big Zing after all.

Don't worry, Zak. I think I've found a new way

to use the hooter with the song.

Let me show you back at the club house.

But you said you can't play the hooter

at the same time as your guitar.

That's right, I can't.

So why don't you play the hooter in The Big Zing instead?

Really? Oh, wow!

HONK! HONK! HONK! THEY CHUCKLE

Come on, let's go!

OK, everyone, let's try playing the song again,

but faster and jollier this time!

-Faster?

-Yes!

The hooter might sound better in a snappy, jolly song.

Drum, can you speed up the beat?

OK! Faster, faster!

-# Da-da-dum da-da-dum

-HONK!

-# Da-da-da da-da-dum

-HONK! HONK!

# Da-da-da da-da-da HONK! HONK!

-# Da-da da-dum

-Let's have some fun... #

Ah, listen, Granite! The ZingZillas are having hooter fun!

Oh! And listen to that, Gravel! It's...

-BOTH:

-The last coconut!

ALL: It's time for The Big Zing!

# ZingZillas

# ZingZillas

# ZingZillas. #

It's time of the day when we like to say it's Big Zing time,

so take it away.

Whoops, sorry.

Night, Todd.
