[bunniefuu]

Hi, I'm pablo.

My name's tyrone.

I'm uniqua.

I'm tasha.

And my name's austin.

All:
and we're...

* Your backyard friends,
the backyardigans *

* Together in
the backyardigan *

Pablo:
* in the place
where we belong *

Uniqua:
* where we'll probably
sing a song *

Tasha:
* and we'll maybe dance along

All:
* we've got the whole wide world
in our yard to explore *

* We always find things
we've never seen before *

* That's why every day
we're back for more *

* With your friends,

* The backyardigans *

Backyardigans:
"news flash"

(Door squeaks open)

Uniqua:
this is the backyard report.

The backyard looks quiet today.

I'll have more news
from the backyard

Later in this broadcast.

Hey!
It's me, uniqua,

And I'm a reporter!

I go where things
are happening

And tell everybody all about
what's going on.

That's what people
call the news!

And I report all the latest news
for w-i-o-wa:

The corniest news station
in the nation!

* I'm an ace reporter

* Wherever news is breaking

* I show up and find out

* What's shaking

* I'm an ace reporter

* If it weren't for me

* There'd never be news
on your tv *

* I bring the big story,
I'm proud to say, *

* To the viewers
watching everyday *

* On w-i-o-wa!

* Corniest station
in the nation *

* W-i-o-wa!

* Corniest station
in the nation *

* Reporters are brave

* Reporters are proud

* Reporters like to talk
real fast and loud *

* With my microphone

* And my camera operator

* I say "back to you!"

* Instead of "see ya later"

* I go find the news

* No matter the place

* And make that
serious reporter face *

* On w-i-o-wa!

* Corniest station
in the nation *

* W-i-o-wa!

* Corniest station
in the nation *

* W-i-o-wa!

Time to report the news!

So, I better get going.

Hey, maybe today
there'll be a news flash -

That's really big news -

Like...

Somebody blowing a bubble
the size of a house,

Or finding a talking horse,

Or... Or...

A flying saucer
landing in a cornfield.

That would really be
a news flash.

Okay, let's go...

To the newsroom...

At w-i-o-wa:

The corniest station
in the nation!

We're about to go
on the air!

Announcer:
from w-i-o-wa,

The corniest station
in the nation,

It's the morning report

With the w-i-o-wa news team:

Anchorwoman tasha,

Reporter uniqua,

Cameraman austin,

On the go
in the w-i-o-wa news van

And overhead in the w-i-o-wa
news chopper!

Good morning,
and now the news...

Have you ever seen a more
wonderful field of corn?

Never.

It's the most wonderful
cornfield

I've ever seen.

I don't think there's ever
been a better crop.

I was just thinking
the same thing!

You know, people ought
to know about this.

You're right,

We should tell everybody!

But how do we get
the news out?

That's it!
It's news!

We've got news!

Let's call w-i-o-wa!

Corn is growing fast.

For more on this story,

Here's reporter uniqua.

That's right,
anchorwoman tasha,

Corn is growing fast!

There's never been
a better crop.

(Phone ringing)

Hold on a minute,
folks,

This might be
really big news!

It might be
a news flash!

W-i-o-wa.

Hello.
This is farmer tyrone.

We've got news
for you!

News? Oh boy!

Tell us
all about it!

Tyrone:
corn is growing fast here!

Oh for goodness sakes,

We know.

That's not news.

But there's more!

We've never had
a better crop!

We know,
and it's just not news.

Goodbye.

(Loud dial tone)

The best crop ever,

And it's not news?!

That's what she said.

I just can't
believe it!

Hey, do you think
that they know

That corn is green
on the outside

And yellow
on the inside?

That's got to be news!

Let's call them.

And now for a special,
in-depth report

From reporter uniqua.

Thank you,
anchorwoman tasha.

Here's my report:

Corn:

Green on the outside
and yellow on the inside.

(Phone ringing)

Hold on, folks!

This might be
a news flash!

W-i-o-wa.

It's farmer pablo!

We've got news
for you!

Corn is green
on the outside

And yellow
on the inside!

Oh man!

I've already
reported that!

It's not news anymore!

Tasha:
don't call back
until you have some real news!

(Loud dial tone)

Pablo and tyrone:
(dejected sighs)

Oh man!

But corn is the most
wonderful thing ever!

I love our corn.

* Don't ya
love corn? *

* Yup, sure do

* How about you?

* I love corn too

* The inside's yellow

* And the outside's
green *

* Just the prettiest crop
that you ever seen *

* Corn!

* Ever since
I was born *

* Corn!

* Every evenin',
every morn *

* Corn!

* I'd be so forlorn

* Without corn,
wonderful corn *

* We get up early
and we eat cornflakes *

* We get to work

* With our hoes
and rakes *

* We plow cornfields

* We plant corn seeds

* We give them water

* And we pull up weeds

* And pretty soon,
by golly don't ya know *

* Those cornstalks
begin to grow *

* Corn!

* With some butter
on top *

* Corn!

* Or the kind
that you pop *

* Corn!

* We're just not
gonna stop *

* Loving corn,
wonderful corn! *

* We love corn!

* Wonderful corn!

* Corn!

* Wonderful corn!

* Corn!

* Glorious corn!

Both:
* exquisite corn!

* Wonderful corn!

We've got to get our corn
on the news!

Let's think.

We've got to do
something big.

Something amazing.

Something that everyone
will want to know about.

Something that's
a news flash!

And I know what!

You do? What?

We are going to decorate
our cornfield.

You mean, with balloons
and streamers

And stuff?

No, better!

Come on!

And that's the news for now.

Stay tuned to w-i-o-wa

For more corn reports
throughout the day.

(Phone rings)

Should I get it?

It's probably just those
farmers again.

But it might be
a news flash.

Maybe somebody taught
their cow to tap dance.

Tasha:
yeah.

Or maybe somebody
built a car

From popsicle sticks.

Or maybe
a flying saucer

Landed in
the cornfield.

You're right,

You never know.

W-i-o-wa.

Tyrone:
hello, it's farmer tyrone.

I've got a news flash
for you.

What is it
this time?

I'm sure you've never
seen anything like it.

Just get over to my farm
right away!

Okay, the w-i-o-wa
news team

Is on its way!

They're coming!

They're going
to love this.

We better finish up.

(Van whirs
and skids to a stop)

I don't see anything
that could be a news flash.

(Cornstalks rustle)

Both:
(gasp)

(Rustling)

Uniqua and austin:
ahhh!

Tyrone:
are you the w-i-o-wa
news team?

That's us!

Where's the news?

Right this way.

Is this a news flash
or what?

What did we tell you?

This is amazing!

Austin:
I've never seen
anything like it.

This is what I've been
waiting for:

A real news flash!

Cameraman austin,
roll tape.

Austin:
rolling.

This is reporter uniqua

Coming to you live
from tyrone and pablo's farm.

You can see that
something amazing

Has happened here.

Only one thing could
have made such a big,

Round, flat circle

In the middle
of this cornfield.

Tell me, farmer tyrone
and farmer pablo,

Did you see
the flying saucer

Land here
in your cornfield?

Flying saucer?

Did she say a flying saucer
landed here?

That's what she said.

A flying saucer!
A flying saucer!

A flying saucer landed
in our cornfield?!

That's right, folks.

A flying saucer landed
right here

In this local cornfield.

This is reporter uniqua,

W-i-o-wa news!

Cut!

Uniqua:
we've got to get this
back to the studio

And do a special report!

It's a news flash!

Pablo:
(screaming)

Pablo!

Yeah?

There isn't
a flying saucer.

There isn't
a flying saucer?

Nope.

That reporter just
thinks there is.

Ohhhh.

And that means
our beautiful corn

Is going to be
a news flash!

This is anchorwoman tasha
with a news flash!

* News flash!
Yes, the news is big *

* It's a huge
important story *

* News flash!
Yes our corn is great *

Pablo:

* News flash!

All:

Uniqua:
* it's big, big, big

* I'll soon be known
as the best reporter *

* I-o-wa has ever seen

* There's never been
a journalist like me *

* We'll soon be known

* Smilin' on
your tv screen *

* Tape it someone, please,

Tyrone:

* Maybe make more corn
'til shapes appear *

* Boy, I hope this picture
is nice and clear *

* News flash!

All:
* news flash!

* It's big,
big, big! *

All:
* news flash! News flash!

* It's big, big, big!

Thanks,
anchorwoman tasha.

As you can see
from this amazing picture,

A flying saucer
has landed

In a local cornfield.

Look! It's our corn!

It's our corn
decoration!

I'm so happy!
Our corn is on the news!

Tasha:
we expect more news
from this farm very soon.

Stay tuned
to w-i-o-wa

For the next
news flash!

More news?

Uh oh.

They're going
to come back?

What do we do?

We better get to work.

We've got more decorations
to make!

(Phone rings)

More news!

Tasha, austin and uniqua:
gimme that!
I'm the anchorwoman!

It's my story!

W-i-o-wa!

Tyrone:
farmer tyrone here.

We've got another news flash!

Another news flash?

We'll be right there!

It must be
the flying saucer!

Maybe it's there
right now!

We've got to hurry.

Let's take...

All:
the news chopper!

(Rotors whir)

(Helicopter whirs)

You know,
I think this may be

The best decoration
of all.

It's a doozie,
all right.

Keep going!

Hey, do you hear
something?

(Helicopter rotors sputter)

I certainly do.

It's a helicopter!

The w-i-o-wa
news chopper!

They're going
to see us!

Hide!

Uniqua:
look! There it is!

The circle!

All:
(gasp)

Tasha:
but that's not all!

Austin:
hey, look! A triangle!

Uniqua:
yeah, but look at that!

What kind of flying saucer
made that?

We better set down

And talk to
those farmers!

(Helicopter whirs
and sputters)

That was close.

They almost caught us
making our decorations.

Tyrone:
looks like they're heading
for the farmhouse.

We better get back.

Yeah, we don't want them
to know

We were out here.

News is hard.

We saw
the news flash!

Uniqua:
there's a corn triangle!

Austin:
and a corn, uh...
Squiggly thing!

Uniqua:
cameraman austin,
roll tape!

Rolling.

Tell us, farmers,

What made the triangle
and squiggly thing

In your cornfield?

Well...

Uh...

When did it happen?

Well...

Uh...

Did you see any flying saucers?

Well...

No.

Uh... No.

Oh, man.

That's disappointing.

I was hoping to tape
a flying saucer.

Tyrone:
you were?

Uh huh.

And I was hoping to talk
to a spaceman.

You were?

Uh huh.

Tasha:
and I wanted to do
another news flash.

Both:
really?

Uh huh.

Well, I guess we should
just go back

To the news room.

They're so
disappointed.

We've got to do
something.

Hey! Hey, news team!

Come back tonight.

Maybe you'll see
a flying saucer.

Austin:
you think so?

Uniqua:
and a spaceman?

Do you think there'll be
a spaceman, too?

Maybe.

Tasha and austin:
that would be great! Hooray!

Cool!

Tasha:
I'm going to do a news flash!

Come on, you guys!

(Rotors sputter and whir)

Well,
we better get busy.

We've got to build
a flying saucer

And a spaceman
before they get back.

You mean,
we're going to trick them?

But they nearly caught us
the last time.

I know.
But this time,

It'll be dark.

(Sound effect)

(Cornstalks rustle)

Uniqua, tasha and austin:
ahhh!

Shhhh!

(Sighs)
okay.
Phew!

The flying saucer
just landed.

If you're quiet,

We can sneak up
on it

And maybe see
the spaceman.

Now, follow me
and be quiet.

There it is!

All:
(gasp)

Tasha:
wow!

(Giggling)

Cameraman austin,
roll tape!

Oh, yeah, right.

Austin:
(gasps)

(Deep alien groan)

Uniqua, tasha and austin:
(huge gasp)

A spaceman!

Come on!

What?!

This is going to be
the biggest newsflash ever.

Rolling!

Hey! Wait!

Mr. Spaceman!

Uh oh.

No! Don't!

Uniqua:
mr. Spaceman!

Just a few words,
please!

Pablo:
run, tyrone, run!

Oh no.

(Guttural alien moans)

(Grunts and groans)

Uniqua:
mr. Spaceman!

W-i-o-wa news!

Whoa! Ugh! Oof!

Uniqua:
hey!

Tasha:
wait a minute!

Austin:
that's not a real spaceship!

And you're not
a real spaceman!

No, it's just me...

Farmer tyrone.

What's going on
here?

We just wanted to get
our corn on the news.

It's the best crop ever!

So we made
the corn decorations.

And the spaceship.

And I pretended to be
a spaceman.

We're sorry,
but we love our corn.

All:
(gasp)

(Flying saucer whirs)

Alien:
greetings, earthlings!

Tasha:
it's a flying saucer!

Oh,
for goodness sakes!

Alien:
greetings, earthlings!
I come in peace!

And a spaceman!

Cameraman austin,
roll tape!

Rolling.

Hello.
I'm reporter uniqua.

Are you a spaceman?

You bet ya.

I am from outer space.

Why are you here?

On my planet
we love corn.

And this is
the best crop ever!

It is a news flash.
