- ON RADIO: - 'And now it's time to tap those tums.
'It's The Tum Tum Tap Tap Song.'
Oh, I love this song.
Oh, Numpups! Come and get your Super Numtum comic!
The Super Numtum comic?
- Oh, my! - Numpups, freeze!
Oh!
- ALL: - Yay!
- Ahem... - Oh, thanks, Gladdy. Thanks, Larry.
You're welcome. Enjoy!
The Super Numtum comic. Whoo-hoo!
Shall we wait and read it later?
As if! Come on!
My invention...
OK, OK, Lizzie's invention is complete.
The Fluffy McTuffy Koala Copier.
Uh-oh!
My Mischief Detector tells me that somebody is up to no good,
and I can guess who that somebody might be.
Time to get naughty.
There you are, you crafty koala. What machine of mischief
have you got Lizzie to make for you this time?
Ah-ha, not-so-Super-Numtum!
I've been expecting you and you're too late.
When I count to ten,
my copier will make ten very cute but very naughty koalas.
Perfect for the busy koala who wants to take over the world in a hurry.
Have you ever actually counted to ten, Fluffy McTuffy?
Of course. I can do anything. Just watch.
One, two, three...
What's after three?
- Five? COMPUTER: - Error! Incorrect number order!
I know, I know.
OK, it's one, two, three, four...
Yes! Then five, six, eight...
- COMPUTER: - Error! Incorrect number order!
Oh, no. Seven! Nine! Six!
Eight! Ten! Ta-da!
- COMPUTER: - Error! Error! Error! Error! Computer error!
Overload! Overload! Overload!
Oh, no! It's out of control!
What? How? Oh, great!
My, what handsome fellows?
One not-so-Super-Numtum is bad enough, but ten not-so-Super-Numtums?
Ten Super Numtums plus the first one.
I think you'll find that's 11 altogether.
SHE BLOWS A RASPBERRY
You really should learn your numbers, Fluffy McTuffy.
Lizzie, I'm a koala, get me out of here! Now!
Ha-ha! 11 Super Numtums. Get out of that one, Fluffy McTuffy.
Heave Ho!
Hi, Hobart. That looks heavy.
Do you need help?
Oh, yes, please.
Wow! This is heavy! What's in it?
We've got lovely shiny new pans for the Tasty Termite.
These are the old ones.
PAN CLANGS
Oh, my!
- Look! Coogee's using an old pan as a drum. - Numtum-tum-tum!
Oh, I like that one.
- PAN BONGS - Nice bong!
PAN BINGS Nice bing!
PAN PLINGS
- Mine's more of a pling! - Wow!
PAN BOOMS
Oh, no! It's empty! Wait a minute! How many are there?
One, two, three, four, five pans, and six Numpups.
- Oh, no! There isn't one for Champer. - Just this old box.
BOX THUDS
Hey! That sounds pretty good!
I'm going to use the box as a drum.
Now we all have drums, we could have a drumming band.
Come on, Numpups! Let's make music!
- So, now we have a band, we need to... - Practice. - Write some songs. - No!
Think of a name! All the best bands have cool names.
Oh, I know! How about The Da-das?
Uh-uh! How about The Groovy Bendigoes?
Numtum-tum-tum.
That's it! We're Numtums, and we've got drums.
So how about The Drum-tums?
Hey, hey, we're The Drum-tums.
OK, Drum-tums. Let's make some music.
DRUMS CLANG
Oh! What's that?
Is it that old pirate Redtail come for my treasure?
Oh, it's just you pups! What's all this banging and crashing?
I wanted 40 winks and I'd only got up to 34.
Flinders, look! We're a band!
- The Drum-tums! - We're making music.
It doesn't sound much like music to me.
- Now, when I was in a band... - ALL: - You were in a band?
You bet your whiskers I was.
We were called Flinder-ella and The Flamingo Five.
DISCO MUSIC
We were quite big back in the day.
- We played here at The Platypus Playhouse. - ALL: - Wow! Cool!
The Drum-tums can play at The Platypus Playhouse too.
DRUMS CLANG
- Oh, stop! You need to count your beats. - ALL: - Count?
That's right. Count.
Show them, Coogee.
You see? You can't just whack the drums willy-nilly.
- You need to count. - ALL: - Oh! I see!
One, two, three, four.
Perfect! Now, back to my 40 winks.
One, two, one, two, three, four.
ALL COUNT DIFFERENTLY
Numtum-tum-tum.
Stop! Remember what I told you. You need to count.
But I was counting! And one, two, one, two, three, four.
So was I! One, and a two, one, and a two, and a one, and a two.
- You were all counting, but you weren't counting together. - ALL: - Oh!
Come on, Drum-tums. It's time to get the band counting together.
- Ready? - ALL: - Ready!
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.
DRUMS PLAY RHYTHMICALLY
Very good! I think you've got it!
Now, how about we try the old classic song The Big Sandy Blues?
- ALL: - Huh?
- How about Ten Green Hamsters Standing In A Row? - What?
OK, you win.
We'll do one of those newfangled songs, The Tum Tum Tap Tap.
- ALL: - Yay!
Ready? One, two, three, four.
- # One, two - What you going to do?
- # Three, four - I'm going to wiggle my paw
- # Five, six - Shake it like this
- # Seven, eight - Shake-a shake-a shake
- # Nine, ten - Tap tap clap
Oh, I'm loving that beat!
Oh, those clever Numpups have used your old pans
to make a drumming band.
Let's go and throw some shapes on the dance floor.
# Everybody count along with me
# We do the Tum Tum Tap Tap for the world to see
- # You go one, two - What you going to do?
- # Three, four - Wiggle my paw
- # Five, six - Shake it like this
- # Seven, eight - Shake-a shake-a shake shake
# Nine, ten
# We do The Tum Tum Tap Tap
- Tum-tum! - ALL: - Yay! - We did it!
- And, in my book, that means Termite Treats all round! - ALL: - Hooray!
Yeah!
