[Episode Title] Let's Go Bananas

[Upbeat music plays]

DESCRIPTION: At night on an island, three monkeys bob up and down. A red monkey in the centre is up when a green monkey and a blue monkey on either side are down. The smiling monkeys hold bananas in front of their mouths, imitating smiles. The monkeys throw the bananas away. The monkeys dance forward, wiggle their hands, and then dance back. Nearby, a lion, a blue bear, and a tiger watch, open-mouthed.

[Song] Let's go bananas. Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Do it with me. "Ah, ah, ah, ah."

DESCRIPTION: The blue monkey runs to the lion and holds the banana in front of their mouth, imitating a smile. The blue monkey sits on the lion’s back, the red monkey sits on the bear’s back, and the green monkey sits on the tiger’s back. Each monkey holds a banana up as all the animals smile and sway.

[Song] Okay, guys, this is a fun song. I want you to sing along. Are you ready? The words are simple. Don’t be shy, so don't be shy.

DESCRIPTION: Bananas fall, and the three monkeys dance in a row on the grass. A green-haired mini smiley and a red-haired mini smiley with pigtails imitate the monkey’s dance. Behind the monkeys, the smiling tiger and lion peer over rocks and sway.

[Song] Let's go bananas. Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Do it with me. "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Let's go bananas. Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah."

DESCRIPTION: The tiger and lion jump over the rocks and land on each side of the monkeys. The big cats step rhythmically to the side as the monkeys roll their hands and turn from side to side. The two mini smileys dance in sync with the monkeys as the tiger and the lion dance towards them. The mini smileys smile at each other.

[Song] Do it with me. "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Okay, guys, this is a fun song. I want you to sing along. Are you ready? The words are simple.

[Chimes]

DESCRIPTION: The green mini smiley touches the lion picture on their shirt, and sparkles appear. The green monkey stands on their hands, balancing a banana on their foot. The red monkey stands on one foot, balancing a banana on their tail. The blue monkey stands on one foot, holding a banana. The monkeys freeze in place, and their mouths fall open as a large shadow falls over them.

[Song] Don't be shy, so don't be shy. Let's go bananas.

[Bananas rustle]

DESCRIPTION: A spotlight shines on a giant banana as it floats in the ocean. The monkeys’ eyes turn into hearts, and they run and stand beside the mini smileys. The red monkey floats between the mini smileys, holding two bananas. Bananas fall.

[Song] Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Do it with me, "Ah, ah, ah, ah."

[Water splashes]

DESCRIPTION: The monkeys bob up and down the giant banana. They hold their bananas in front of their mouths like smiles. They twirl, and the tiger, bear, and lion surface in the water nearby. The two mini smileys jump into the water.

[Song] Let's go bananas. Let's go crazy. When I say, "Ah, ah, ah, ah." Do it with me. "Ah, ah, ah, ah."
