02x02 - Fairy Lights/Little Drummer Boy

[bunniefuu]

- All together now. (Kids playing music)

And when I point to the bongo, the bongo goes.

(Bongo beats)

Very good.

And when I say xylophone, the xylophone goes.

(Xylophone beats)

And when I point to the drums, the drums go.

(Fast-paced drumming)

Alright, let's take a break my little orchestra.

Come on everyone.

(Drum beats)

Okay, Jimmy, wow.

That was a lot of very fast, very loud drumming.

- I can't help it,

I'm so excited I have to play loud and fast.

- Wow, Jimmy that is one heck of a

wiggle you have going on there.

- I know I can't stop wiggling.

- It sounds to me like you're feeling overeager.

- Overeager?

- Overeager is what you feel when

you just can't wait to do something.

- That's it.

I feel overeager to play the drums really loudly and fast.

- Sometimes I get overeager too.

- You do?

- I do and I find

that if I do the seaweed sway,

it helps to calm me down.

- The seaweed sway?

- I put my hands way up in the air

and I sway back and forth,

like seaweed in the water.

- Sway back and forth,

like seaweed in the water.

(Sighing)

- Feel a little more calm now?

- A bit, but I still want to play the drums

really loud and fast.

(Drum beats)

- Okay Jimmy, you know this reminds me of a Napkin Man story

about that the time that Napkin Man

helped a merman named Neo

who's also feeling overeager.

- A merman, is that like a boy mermaid?

- Yep, Neo the Merman,

who lived under the sea.

- Cool, can I hear the story?

- You bet, let's go.

(Upbeat music)

- Ready to call Napkin Man?

- Yeah.

[Together] - One, two, three, Napkin Man.

- Hiya, Jimmy.

(Jimmy laughing)

Hey there Mr. Anthony.

Mr. Anthony,

this adventure is supposed to be underwater, right?

- Oh, right, right.

(Upbeat music)

There.

- Fantastic, thanks Mr. Anthony.

I'm off to see Neo under the sea.

♪ I'm Napkin Man

♪ I'm here for you

♪ If you're happy sad, scared or mad

♪ These are all feelings I have had

♪ I'm Napkin Man, I'll help you feel okay

♪ Some things are kind of hard to get through

♪ But with a little help you can do it

♪ Yes you can, I'm Napkin Man

♪ I'm Napkin Man

♪ I'm Napkin Man

♪ Have no fear, I'm your hero

♪ I'm your Napkin Man

Underwater, the bubbliest place I know.

Neo must be around here somewhere.

There he is.

Wow, Neo nifty flips.

- Heya, Napkin Man.

- Mind if I give it a try?

- Sure.

(Thud)

- I'm ok, I'm ok.

- I'm practicing for the

super awesome show we're putting on.

I can't wait to do my super fancy move.

You know, no one is can do it.

- And what a move it is.

What kind of show are you in?

- It's called Sea Dreams.

Every week all the mermaids and merman

put on a swim dance for everyone under the sea to watch.

- Sound mer-velous.

(Giggling)

- Want to come and watch?

- You bet I do.

[Napkin Man] - Hi.

[All] - Hi, Napkin Man.

- Lookin' good Neo.


- Nice moves.

- Check me out everyone.

- Wow, nice moves.

- That's a really awesome flip, Neo.

Ok, everyone it's time to do the mer-dance.

Make sure you all move together.

(Upbeat music)

(Thud)

- Neo, that wasn't the ending we practiced.

Remember we all need to move together, doing the same move.

- No problem-o.

(Upbeat music)

Oops.

- Ok, let's take a break.

- That didn't go the way you planned, did it?

- No, but I can't help it Napkin Man.

Every time we dance I get all wiggly and excited

and I just have to do my own special move.

- Wiggly, excited?

I think you're feeling overeager Neo.

- That's it, I'm overeager.

- I have just the thing to calm you down.

- The seaweed sway.

I sway back and forth like seaweed.

(Upbeat music)

- Can I try?

- Absolutely.

- I sway back and forth like seaweed.

- How's that feel?

- A bit better, but I still want

to show everyone my special move.

- It's definitely a special move, Neo.

But I think the mer-dance works better

when everyone is doing the same move.

Working together.

- I know, but it's just so hard.

I want to do my special move so badly,

but I also don't want to mess up the mer-dance,

what should I do?

- Well, I have a song that just might help.

♪ To dance the mer-dance with the team

♪ And perform the most awesome, dance routine

♪ You need to remember, to move all together

♪ So if you feel overeager and you just can't wait

♪ To do your own special move that you know is great

♪ Be a clever merman, make yourself a plan

♪ You can plan when you dance as part of the team

♪ And plan when your own special move can be seen ♪

(Upbeat music)

♪ If you plan it all out, then you'll feel fine

♪ 'Cause you know that you'll have lots of chances to shine

♪ You can shine when you dance with the rest of the group

♪ You can shine when you do your special loopty loop.

♪ Each at the right time and in the right place

♪ You will end up with a smile on your face ♪

- So I should make a plan for a time when I can do my move.

(Drum beats)

[Together] - Yes!

♪ Just relax my friend and make yourself a plan

♪ And I'll be a happy ducky merman

♪ Ba-da-bom-bom-bom

- I did it, Napkin Man.

There's a time to shine with others

and a time to shine on your own.

- That's right, Neo.

- So I should plan a time to do my special move

when it won't mess up the others, but when?

- I know, Neo could do his flip at the end

when everyone is finished dancing.

- That's a great idea.

Hey, Napkin Man, tell Neo to ask the mer-people

if he can do his big move at the end for the grand finale.

- What's that Mr. Anthony?

- The grand finale.

- A grand finale?

Now that's a grand idea.

- Yeah, I could ask my mer-friends if I can

do my triple-fletter-flip-orama at the very end

when no one else is dancing.

Now that's a plan.

Hey guys, would it be okay for me to do my

triple-fletter-flip-orama after the dance?

- Sure thing, Neo, sounds like a great idea.

Places everyone.

(Sighing)

- Nice going Neo.

(Upbeat music)

Bravo, very nice.

- And now for the grand finale, Neo.

- Woohoo!

He makes it look so easy.

(Thud)

I'll have to work on that.

- And that's the story of how Napkin Man

helped Neo, the merman, make a plan so that he could

shine with the team and on his own.

- Napkin Man and Neo are right.

Our music so way better

if I played the rest of the band.

- You know what, I think you're right.


- And then maybe at the very end.

(Whispering)

- You got it.

And when I point to the bongos, the bongos goes

(Bongo beats)

And when I point to the xylophone, the xylophone goes.

(Xylophone beats)

Very good.

And when I point to the drums, the drums go.

(Drum beats)

Excellent.

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together

for Jimmy the Drummer, who's now going to play on his own.

(Fast-paced drumming)

Very good.

Now everybody join back in!

(Kids playing instruments)

Ooh yeah!

- This is going to be so great! I just love doing tie dye.

It always makes me feel like dancing.

(Children laughing)

- You look like a dizzy octopus, Mr. Anthony.

- Well thank you very much Sahara.

And now it's time to unwrap your t-shirts.

Ready, set, go.

Look at those colors.

Very nice.

Okay everyone, put your tie dye shirts on

and you can pretend to be a tie dye dino,

a tie dye cowboy, or a tie dye clown.

Hey, fairy Amelia, what's up?

- This is what's up.

- Your shirt is positively purple.

- It's not all different colors like the other kid's shirts.

My tie dye didn't work.

- Well you sound a little bit disappointed.

- Disappointed?

- Disappointed is when you're really

looking forward to something and it just doesn't work out.

- Then I am disappointed, I feel all slouchy and blah

and my body feels all floppy like a noodle.

- Well you know what I do when I feel disappointed

and my body is all blah and floppy like a noodle.

- What?

- I do the fairy wing flap.

- The fairy wing flap?

- Do you want to see it?

- First I stand up nice and straight,

and then flap, flap,

flap, my fairy wings,

see my arms are nice and straight,

no more noodley floppy arms.

You want to try it?

[Together] - Flap, flap, flap, flap.

[Mr. Anthony] - And the other way.

[Together] - Flap, flap, flap.

- Oh that's very good, fairy wing flapping Amelia.

You feel any better?

- Yeah, my body's not floppy anymore.

- Oh that's good.

- But I still don't know what happened to my tie dye.

I did everything just like the other kids did.

- Are you sure you did everything

exactly like the other kids did?

- I think I did.

- Did I ever tell you the story about

when Napkin Man helped a little fairy named Gigi.

- A fairy, just like me?

- Just like you.

- No you haven't told me that story, I'd love to hear it.

- Okay then, come on.

(Upbeat music)

- Alright, ready to call Napkin Man?

One, two, three.

[Together] - Napkin Man!

- Hi, Mr. Anthony.

Hi, Amelia.

- Hi, Napkin Man.

- Hey, Mr. Anthony if I'm going to visit Gigi in fairy land,

I think I'm missing something.

- Fairy wings?

- Oh, right.

Why don't you color them in Amelia?

- I love my purple wings,

thanks Mr. Anthony and thanks Amelia.

Now I'm off to fairy land.

- Yep, I'm okay.

I'm okay.

- Oh good, you're just in time.

- Hi, Gigi.

Just in time for what?

- My fairy light lesson.

I've been practicing, watch.

(Tinkling)

- Can I try that?

- Sure!

Whoa, I'm alright.

But maybe I'll leave the fairy lights to you, Gigi.

- Don't feel bad, Napkin Man.

Making fairy lights is very tricky.

It took me a long time to learn.

(Jingling)

Ooo, it's time for my fairy light lesson.

Come on.

- Watch out, look out, coming through.

(Thud)

- Napkin man?

- I'm okay, I'm okay.

- Napkin Man, how nice to see you.

- Hello, Lady Fifi.

I'm here to watch the fairy lights class.

- Fabulous.

Why don't you come and sit right here beside me.

Alright fairies, gather round,

today we're going to make many colored lights.

[All] - Oooo.

- Many colored lights are very tricky,

so watch carefully and do exactly as I do.

Raise your wand, jump into the air,

spin around twice,

and the colors will flare.

Then say the magic word, "Kabam."

- Wow.

- Alright, Mimi, you go first.

- Okay, raise my wand, jump in the air,

spin around twice, one, two,

and say, "Kabam."

(Tinkling)

- Bravo.

- Very good, Mimi.

JJ, you're next.

- Raise my wand, jump in the air,

spin around twice, one, two,

and say, "Kabam."

Kabam!

(Tinkling)

- Yay, JJ.

- Excellent!

Now you Gigi.

- I raise my wand, jump into the air,

spin around and say, "Kabam."

(Tinkling)

- Nice!

- Very nice!

But just purple, see if you can make lots of colors.

Try again, Gigi.

- I can do this.

Raise my wand, jump into the air, spin around

and say, "Kabam."

Kabam!

(Tinkling)

I can't do this.

- It looks like you're feeling disappointed Gigi.

Your body's all floppy like a noodle.

- I am disappointed, Napkin Man.

- Well, I know something that just might help.

The fairy wing flap, want to try?

- I guess.

[Together] - Flap, flap, flap, flap,flap.

(Laughing)

- Feel a little better?

- Yeah, but I still can't make the colored fairy lights,

and I don't know why.

I did everything the other fairies did.

At least I think I did.

- Well, I have a song that might just help.

♪ I know you want your fairy lights

♪ To fill up the whole sky

♪ But before you make something so big

♪ You have to start small

♪ And I'll tell you why

♪ You need to pay attention to the details

♪ It's the little things you do right that make things great

- Yay!

♪ So pay attention to the small things

♪ And the big things will be first rate

- Okay, I'm keen, what do you mean?

♪ Watch carefully, watch the details

♪ That's the way to do it

♪ And things will turn out right

♪ If you pay attention to the little things

♪ Raise your wand, jump into the air, spin around twice

♪ And the colors will flare


♪ Kabam

- Mr. Anthony,

I found the detail, I know what the problem is.

- Well then you'd better tell Gigi.

- Gigi, you're only spinning around once,

you need to spin around twice.

- That's right, she said to spin around twice, didn't she?

Thanks, Amelia.

♪ Raise my wand, jump into the air, spin around twice

♪ One, two

♪ And the colors will flare.

Kabam!

I did it, I did it.

- You did it.

♪ See, you watched the details

♪ That's the way to do it

♪ And things will work out fine

♪ You paid attention to the details

♪ And now your fairy lights

♪ are sublime!

- Yay, woohoo!

- Bravo, very nice.

- Excellent work, Gigi

- Those were the best fairy lights you've ever made.

- Oh yeah, well look at these

Kabam!

(Jingling)

And these, Kabam!

And these, and these, kabam, kabam!

- And that's the story of how Napkin Man helped

Gigi pay attention to the details

and make her fairy lights shine.

- Mr. Anthony, can I try again?

- Of course you can.

- This time I'm going to pay attention to the details.

- Once, twice, three times.

- Wait, that's the detail I didn't do right,

I only wrapped the last one once.

- Okay, then try again.

- I'll scrunch up my shirt

and wrap the last round really tight.

One, two,

three times.

- And now you put a little dye on it.

- This will work for sure.

- Oh very nice, but now here comes the hard part.

- Waiting

- I know something that we can do to pass the time.

- What?

- The dizzy octopus dance.

Come on, everybody.

Let's do the dizzy octopus dance.

You know you want to.

Alright, here we go.

(Upbeat music)

Oh yeah, very good little octopus, get those arms going.

(Children laughing)
