In animation, a bird, a dog, a cat, and a robot slide down a xylophone slide.

Ping is a yellow bird, Pong is a brown dog with blue ears and Matilda is a black cat.

Ping sings a song that says WE'RE PLAYING A SONG
WITH MATILDA AND PONG
COME MR. PRICKLES
AND SING ALONG

Mister Prickles, a porcupine, waters the flowers in a garden.

The friends float in soap bubbles and musical notes.

Ping sings MUSIC'S IN EVERY
WORD AND SOUND
UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND

They fall on a drum.

Ping sings HI I'M PING AND THIS IS PONG
WITH OUR FRIENDS WE'LL
ROCK THIS SONG

The name of the show reads "Ping and friends."

The name of the episode reads "Less is more."

At Pong's, Pong plays the accordion and Trix-06 dances.

Matilda hears the music and says HUH?

She knocks on the door.

[KNOCK KNOCK]
[ELECTRONIC SOUNDS]

Matilda says HI! WHAT'S THAT
YOU'RE PLAYING, PONG?

Pong says IT'S THE TARANTELLA!

Matilda says THAT'S ITALIAN, RIGHT?
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO GO TO ITALY!

Ping says DID SOMEBODY SAY "ITALY"?
OH, I REMEMBER THE TIME I SPENT
THERE. THE BEAUTIFUL ART,
THE DELICIOUS FOOD AND I EVEN
LEARNED HOW TO MAKE THE BEST
ITALIAN PIZZA.

Matilda says OOOH! I'D LOVE
TO TRY SOME.

Ping says I'LL MAKE
YOU SOME!

Pong says DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF MUSIC
ITALIANS LOVE TO DANCE TO?
AND THAT GOES WELL WITH PIZZA?

Matilda says WHAT?

Pong says THE TARANTELLA! I JUST HAVE
TO DO A LITTLE MORE WORK ON IT,
THICKEN IT UP A BIT.
THEN IT'LL BE READY!

Matilda says GREAT! WE'LL HAVE A PIZZA
TARANTELLA DINNER!

Ping says OH, I ALMOST FORGOT! WHAT ARE
YOUR FAVOURITE PIZZA TOPPINGS?

Matilda says UM...CHEESE AND SAUSAGE!

Pong says PINEAPPLE AND HAM!

Mister Prickles says PROSCIUTTO AND RED BELL PEPPERS!

Matilda says DO YOU WANT TO COME TO OUR PIZZA
TARANTELLA DINNER?

Mister Prickles says WELL, I WAS GOING TO ORGANIZE MY
SEEDS, BUT I CAN DO IT LATER.

Matilda says GREAT! I'LL GO SET
THE TABLE NOW.

Mister Prickles says I'LL HELP. I HAVE A LOT OF
ITALIAN SOUVENIRS WE CAN USE.

Matilda says THANKS, MR. PRICKLES!

Pong says WHAT DO YOU THINK OUR TARANTELLA
IS MISSING, TRIX06?

Trix-06 shows him some instruments on his screen, like a guitar and tambourine.

[ELECTRONIC SOUNDS]

Pong says NO, THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT
IN A TARANTELLA. I WANT TO PUT
A PONG SPIN ON IT.
OH, I KNOW. DRUMS!
THE DRUMS WILL MAKE IT SOUND
NICE AND THICK.

Trix-06 plays the drums.

Pong says WOW WOW!
LET'S ADD A LITTLE
ELECTRIC GUITAR.
[ELECTRONIC SOUNDS]

Pong says OH, RIGHT. I CAN'T PLAY
THE ACCORDION AND ELECTRIC
GUITAR. WE'LL NEED
MORE MUSICIANS.
[BAAAA]

Pong says HEY!
[BAAAA]

Pong says OH SHEEP?
[BAAAA]

Pong says COME HELP US
WITH OUR TARANTELLA!

[BAAAA]
[ELECTRONIC SOUNDS]

Trix-06 gives the sheep a guitar and a tambourine.

Pong says LET'S DO THIS.

Pong says OH YEAH! THAT'S SOUNDING
EVEN THICKER NOW!

Ping prepares the pizza and says HMMM. MAGNIFICO! NOW WHAT SHOULD
I PUT FIRST? I KNOW! PEPPERONI!
PING SOME ONIONS. HMMM...
PINEAPPLE? OH, WHY NOT.

Matilda says HEY, PING. HOW'S THE PIZZA?
WOW! THAT'S A LOT OF TOPPINGS!
DO THEY DO THAT IN ITALY?

Ping says I DON'T THINK SO BUT I'M PUTTING
A PING SPIN ON THIS PIZZA.
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE
TOO MANY TOPPINGS!
[WHISTLE]

Matilda visits Pong.

She says HEY, PONG. HOW'S
THE... TARANTELLA?

Pong says I ADDED A FEW MORE LAYERS AND
IT'S SOUNDING REALLY THICK!

Matilda says MAYBE A LITTLE TOO THICK?

Pong says NAH! YOU CAN NEVER...

Matilda says NEVER HAVE TOO MANY
INSTRUMENTS. NOW WHERE HAVE
I HEARD THAT BEFORE?

Mister Prickles says SEE? THE TABLE LOOKS
FANTASTICO!

Matilda says WELL, IT LOOKS
LIKE A LOT OF STUFF.

Mister Prickles says YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY
DECORATIONS, I ALWAYS SAY!

Matilda says OH...
[EFFORTS]

Ping carries the very heavy pizza to the table.

Matilda says WOW. YOU ADDED EVEN MORE
TOPPINGS TO THE PIZZA.

Ping says I KNOW!
GREAT, HUH?

Matilda says OH...

Pong says WHO'S READY
FOR SOME TARANTELLA?

Matilda says I AM!

Pong says AND A ONE AND A TWO AND
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!

They start playing really loud.

Matilda and Mister Prickles try the pizza.

Ping says WHAT'S WRONG?

She tastes the pizza and says OH NO! IT TASTES BAD!

Matilda says YOU'RE GLAD?

Ping says WHO'S YOUR DAD?

Pong says WHAT'S WRONG?

Matilda says OH EVERYTHING!
IT'S ALL TOO MUCH!
TOO MANY DECORATIONS!
TOO MANY TOPPINGS!
TOO MANY SOUNDS!

Ping says OH...BUT ALL OF THE TOPPINGS
SOUNDED YUMMY.

Pong says YOU'RE RIGHT, MATILDA.
I WANTED A THICKER SOUND
FOR THE TARANTELLA,
BUT I THINK I MADE
IT TOO THICK.

Matilda says LET'S HAVE A SIMPLE
ITALIAN DINNER.

Ping says BY MAKING THINGS SIMPLE.
STARTING WITH THIS PIZZA.

Pong says AND I'M GONNA MAKE MY TARANTELLA
SOUND THINNER...MORE SIMPLE.

Matilda says THAT SOUNDS PERFECT.

Mister Prickles says OKAY, OKAY. I'LL TAKE
AWAY SOME DECORATIONS.

Trix-06 plays the tambourine and says TARANTELLA!

Pong says NOW THAT SOUNDS
GOOD, DOESN'T IT?

Ping brings a simpler pizza and says WHO'S HUNGRY?

Matilda says ME!
MAMMA MIA! YOU CAN REALLY TASTE
THE TOMATOES AND CHEESE.

Ping says I GUESS MORE ISN'T
ALWAYS BETTER.

Ping sings a song that says TOMATOES AND MOZZARELLA
AND MORE PEPPERONI
MAGNIFICO FANTASTICO
MAKE A PIZZA WITH ME
IN ITALY THEY LOVE TO DANCE
AND SHAKE THEIR TAMBOURINES
MAGNIFICO FANTASTICO
TARANTELLA WITH ME
