ZAK LAUGHS

Ahh... Oh, can you play it once more?

Once more! It sounds really zingy.

And I want to write some really good words to go with the music.

BANGING Ow! Oh, what was that?

The roof's falling down! The roof's falling down!

The roof's not falling down, Zak!

-BANG

-Ooh! Sorry! The lid fell off.

It's only Todd.

The lid fell off what looks like a dustbin.

Huh, I knew that!

-You thought the roof was falling down!

-You were scared!

Me, scared?

I'm a big, brave gorilla. I'm not scared of anything!

I'm particularly not scared of loud noises.

Oh! That's what I can sing the song about! Hit it, Drum.

DRUMMING

# I'm not scared cos I'm a brave ZingZilla

# I don't jump at every little bash... #

PANZEE GIGGLES

# There's no way to frighten this gorilla... #

Cool words!

# Even if you slam and whoosh it back. # THEY LAUGH

I'm never scared when I hear a loud noise.

I know it's not caused by something scary.

BOING ZING-ZING!

Oh! THEY LAUGH

That ringing is a phone. ZING-ZING!

Hi. Zak speaking.

Hello there, Zak. It's the Loose.

I want you all to meet me, two minutes, in the glade,

for some smooth sounds that will float along on the breeze.

We'll be there! BOING

DJ's got some new music for us to hear.

We'll finish the song for The Big Zing later.

Yeah! Come on, Drum!

Come on, Zak!

Wheeee!

Wheeeeeeee!

-Woah!

-Whooooo!

Oh, it sounds so cool!

-See you later, Todd!

-See you later, Todd!

That's a very strange-looking dustbin, Todd.

Ah, Panzee. Now, this is my super new banana-picking machine.

Oh!

You use this arm to pick the bananas,

-and this tub to collect them in.

-Wow!

It's my best invention yet.

Well, enjoy!

Oh, those young scamps!

-Come on, Panzee!

-Coming!

Now, pay attention to our guests today.

This is Johnny and Marco,

old friends of mine.

What are they holding?

Sticks? Are they going to play sticks?

Look closer.

Those sticks are hollowed out at the top.

They're like pipes, and when you have a lot of hollow pipes,

all lined up and bound together, they become panpipes.

BREATHY PIPING

Oh! Sounds like the wind in the trees!

Yeah!

See, each pipe is a different length,

and has a different note when you blow.

Pipe on, Marco. Pipe on, Johnny.

THEY PLAY A JAUNTY TUNE

ALL: Oh!

ALL: Hey! Hey, hey!

Hey, we should make some panpipes.

Yeah! You could play them in The Big Zing, Zak!

Oh, top banana.

Now, what sort of sticks can we use to make our own panpipes?

All different lengths, remember?

So they make different notes.

Well, what about bamboo sticks?

-We can hollow out some of those!

-Yes!

And there's a lot of bamboo plants

growing on the other side of the island.

Say no more! I'll go and pick the sticks for my panpipes. Laters!

Bye!

Hello, friends!

I'm on my way to pick some bamboo.

-It's pipe-making time!

-Look! It is...

..coconut number one.

There's only three more coconuts to go

before it's time for The Big Zing.

Whoa! Bamboo, here I come!

Ah-ha! There's the bamboo.

Now, I need long sticks and short sticks to make the panpipes.

Oooh!

Lots of lovely bananas up there.

Just ripe for picking.

HE GROANS

LOUD GROANING Oh, what's that noise? Oh.

Probably just the wind.

SQUEAKING AND RUMBLING

Doesn't sound like the wind!

GROANING

Don't be silly, Zak.

You're a big, brave gorilla.

You're not scared of loud noises.

Oh-ah-ah-oh...

RUMBLING AND CREAKING

There's something behind that tree!

And it doesn't sound very friendly!

He-e-e-e-e-lp!

PANTS

Come on, Zak!

Big, brave gorilla. Remember?

You're not scared of noises! CRACK!

Do that cool Zak walk. Yeah.

Hey, everyone! I've got the bamboo.

Oh, that's brilliant, Za...

-Except, um...

-You've only got one stick!

We need lots of sticks.

And each stick needs to be a different length

to make a different note.

Remember the panpipes we heard in the glade?

But it's a really cool bamboo stick!

And a really cool note. Listen!

It does sound cool, Zak,

but it would sound even cooler if there were lots of other sticks.

The more sticks you have, the more notes you can play.

Ah. Right.

So you want me to...

To go back and bring back

-more sticks, yes.

-Oh.

Are you sure one note isn't enough?

No, it's not!

What's wrong?

You're not scared of going back into the jungle, are you?

Zak, scared?

Of course I'm not. I'm big, brave Zak.

I'm not scared of anything, me!

I'm definitely not scared of noises.

Well, who said there were noises outside?

Did I say noises?

Well, if I did, it's because I'm not scared of them!

I'm not scared of noises. I'm not scared at all!

# I'm not scared cos I'm a brave ZingZilla

# I don't jump at every little bash... #

More bamboo coming up!

-Ah!

-Ha.

Bamboo, here I come!

Oh, hello...again.

-I need more bamboo.

-Oh, look!

Here comes...

..coconut number two!

Only two more coconuts to go and it's time for The Big Zing!

More sticks, more sticks.

OK. OK.

Big, brave Zak.

Pick a few more sticks of bamboo, that's all. This'll be easy.

The noises have gone.

That's it. One stick here...

Soon have those lovely bananas ready for chomping.

LOUD BUZZING

TODD GIBBERS

What's that?!

I don't know what that is, but I don't like it!

I'm out of here! He-e-e-e-e-elp!

Oh. Oh!

Ah, ah. I'm back.

-Are you OK?

-I'm fine.

Just been running, dodging through the trees.

-There you go. Bamboo.

-But you've only got one more stick.

We need more, like, ten.

PLAYS A NOTE

PLAYS A DIFFERENT NOTE

You can't make panpipes with just two sticks, Zak!

-Do we really need pan pipes for the song?

-Yes.

So you want me to go back to the other side of the jungle...again?

Yes.

Zak scared?

I'm not scared of the jungle, Drum!

Drum come?

Drum wants to hold your hand in the big, scary jungle.

No way! I've told you, I'm a big, brave gorilla.

And the big, brave gorilla needs to find more bamboo sticks,

cos we need them for the panpipes in the song.

Panpipes.

The song.

# I'm not scared cos I'm a brave ZingZilla

# I don't jump at every little bash

# There's no way to frighten this gorilla

# Even if you slam and push and crash

# Just be brave

# Look around when you listen to a sound

# Cos I know it's just a noise It's just a noise

# And the answer is clear

# There's no need for me to fear

# Cos I know it's just a noise... #

-Whoops, sorry!

-It's just a noise!

You see? I'm not scared.

More bamboo...

coming up!

Is anything wrong, Drum?

Why aren't you playing?

Zak scared.

He's been on his own in the jungle hundreds of times!

And he's never been scared before.

Zak scared.

He was running back from the jungle very quickly, Tang,

rather than doing his cool Zak walk.

Perhaps he was running away from something!

That could be why he only came back with one stick at a time.

Zak scared.

-Should we follow her?

-Yes.

Let's all find Zak.

Oh, not more bamboo!

We need more sticks so we can play more notes, Mr Granite.

Look! It's...

..coconut number three!

Only one more coconut to go and it's The Big Zing.

OK.

One...long.

Two...longer.

Three...even longer.

Four...short.

There.

I think the machine will work now, and pick those bananas.

MACHINE WHIRRS

Oh!

TODD GIBBERS

It's the noises again! Oh-oh!

-Zak, noise!

-I know!

And the tree's wobbling! And I think we should go home!

What's that noise?

And why is the tree shaking?

-I don't know!

-Drum scared.

And so am I. Run!

Where are you all going?

Loud noise. - You heard a noise?

Yes, and the tree's wobbling, too!

Oh!

Well, I think I know what caused the noise,

-and the wobbling trees.

-Uh?

Come on, I'll show you my banana-picking machine.

Your banana-picking machine?

So all that noise was caused by a machine that picks bananas.

I'm not surprised you came running back to the clubhouse, Zak!

That noise sounded terrible.

You don't think I'm a real scaredy-cat?

No! You should've told us you'd heard all the noises.

We'd have helped you find out what caused them.

Thanks.

Banana! - In a second, Drum.

I just need to make one small adjustment to the machine.

LOUD BUZZING

THEY LAUGH

I think it needs another small adjustment, don't you?

And look! We can make the panpipes now for the song.

Oh, that's great!

Hurray for Zak!

Oh, the panpipes are ready just in time because...

..it's 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!"

Yay!

Hello, everybody!

Today's song is about noises. Are we afraid of loud noises, ZingZillas?

ALL: No, we're not!

And joining us today on the panpipes are Johnny and Marco!

ALL: Yeah!

# I'm not scared cos I'm a brave ZingZilla

# I don't jump at every little crash

# There's no way to frighten this gorilla

# Even if you slam and whoosh and smash

# Just be brave, look around

# When you listen to a sound

# Cos I know it's just a noise It's just a noise

-# It's just a noise

-And the answer is clear

# There's no need for me to fear

# Cos I know it's just a noise It's just a noise

# Ah-ah

# There was once a time when sudden voices

# Made me jump and gave me such a fright

# But when you know the source of all the noises

# Everything is gonna be all right

# Just be brave, look around

# When you listen to a sound

# Cos I know it's just a noise It's just a noise

# It's just a noise

# And the answer is clear There's no need for me to fear

# Cos I know it's just a noise It's just a noise

# Just be brave, look around

# When you listen to a sound

# Cos I know it's just a noise It's just a noise

# It's just a noise

# And the answer is clear

# There's no need for me to fear

# Cos I know it's just a noise It's just a noise... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

ALL: That was the best Big Zing ever!

If you can play music with bamboo, can you play music with a banana?

-TODD:

-You can't blow down a banana.

I suppose you could hit a drum with one.

-DRUM:

-Bananas for eating!

-TODD:

-Oh, yes, you're right!

Bananas are for eating, not for drumming!

Night, Todd.

Good night, ZingZillas.
