ZingZillas - Series 1 - Keep Your Castanets

Logo for ZingZillas - Series 1 - Keep Your Castanets

A band of primate friends play music in their tropical island paradise and meet different musical guests. Drum has lost Yapple again, but she finally finds her wrapped around the banana phone when it rings. Tang answers the phone - its DJ asking them to meet him in the Glade. The ZingZillas enjoy watching a flamenco performance with Spanish guitar and a flamenco dancer. Drum is particularly enamoured with the clickety-clackety castanet playing, and the flamenco dancer, Verena, throws some castanets up to her. The ZingZillas decide to do a flamenco Big Zing with Tang playing flamenco guitar, Drum playing castanets and Panzee dancing the flamenco. They head to the clubhouse to rehearse. The song sounds great and they can't wait to tell DJ about it so they head off to find him. Before they go, Drum finds a safe place to leave her new castanets. She puts them on the windowsill and asks Yapple to look after them, but they fall from the sill and land on Todd's head. When the ZingZillas return to the clubhouse, Drum can't understand where the castanets have gone and the others can't believe she's lost them. Drum realises they may have fallen into Todd's garden and when she goes to ask Todd, they fall off his head as he bends to listen to her. Drum has her castanets back and so the ZingZillas rehearse again. This time Panzee twirls Drum around, and as she does so the castanets accidentally fly out of the clubhouse and land in Todd's postbox. The ZingZillas can't believe Drum has lost the castanets again. Without the castanets there can be no Big Zing, so Todd sets out to find them one more time.
