Tang's Photo Album

Music Box

Zak wishes he could balance a banana on the end of his nose. Tang thinks he should sing about wishes in the Wish Song, which is their Big Zing song. The band rehearse. It is thirsty work and, casually rubbing her ear, Panzee wishes she had a drink. Just then Todd calls up with a tray of drinks for the ZingZillas. Zak and Tang are astonished - Panzee can make wishes come true - just be rubbing her ear!   Panzee decides she is going to make everyone on the Island's wishes come true and she heads off. In a jungle clearing nearby Panzee sets up a wish stall but she discovers that she can't actually make wishes come true. Zak can't balance a banana on his nose, Drum doesn't get a second Yapple and Tang isn't turned into a butterfly. Panzee realises her Wish Stall is useless and she dashes off saying she can't play the Big Zing.

Panzee's Wish Stall

The ZingZillas have decided to take the day off and visit the Cinema. Drum doesn't know what a cinema is. The others explain it is a place where you go to see your favourite films. However, Granite and Gravel are worried. If the ZingZillas are spending the day at the Cinema who is going to play the Big Zing?  Meanwhile the ZingZillas have gone into the jungle, found the cinema and are ready to watch the film. Todd, the projectionist tells them they are going to watch their favourite Big Zings. Todd presses the remote, there is a loud explosion and the projector blows up! They can't watch any more films, but DJ appears with a solution.

Cinema Day

Panzee is very keen to find a good costume to wear for today's Big Zing. In the Glade the ZingZillas watch La Cuba Ritmo, a Salsa Band, perform with a two salsa dancers. Panzee falls in love with Salsa dancing, and in particular the Salsa girl's yellow costume and bright yellow necklace. She is determined to dance in the Big Zing.

In the Clubhouse the ZingZillas rehearse a Salsa song. However, at the moment that Panzee is supposed to dance all she does is fall over. Tang suggests that she needs to practice but Panzee doesn't listen. Todd persuades Panzee to be his partner, but only if she practices.

Featuring La Cuba Ritmo.

Salsa Dip

The ZingZillas listen to Jonathan Mayer who is playing the sitar. They love the way the strings make a bendy sound and Drum suggests they create a sitar Big Zing. The stories in his comic have given Zak lots of ideas but he can't decide which one to sing about. Todd can't decide what to paint.   Over at the Coconut Hut Tang and Panzee can't decide what drink to have either and back in the Clubhouse Zak still can't decide what to sing about. They realise they should sing all about making choices - after all they've had difficulty choosing all day!

Making a Choice

The ZingZillas are practicing The High Notes and Low Notes Song. Zak sings all the low parts and Panzee sings the high part. But she can't reach the highest note. Panzee realises that she can't sing the high note. Downstairs in Todd's garden Panzee suddenly hears a very high note coming from the jungle. It is the perfect note for the song, but where is it coming from? Drum races off to find out.   Meanwhile Zak and Tang sit with Drum in the Glade and watch Frank Perry play notes by tapping bowls around him. It is the perfect sound for the Big Zing. Back in the jungle, Todd gets out his Noise-A-Tron - a device that detects which direction a sound is coming from.
