Zing-Zings

The Zing-Zings are an ancient tribe native to the Peruvian Amazon. Their only appearance is in The Am-AH-Zon Race in Total Drama World Tour.

Chris first introduces the tribe to the show by telling the contestants that the Zing-Zings are a native tribe of the Amazon who have never came into contact with modern civilization. He then warns the contestants not to make contact with them, because they might be dangerous. During the episode, Team Amazon has the unfortunate fate of coming in contact with two Zing-Zings when they end up taking a wrong turn at a fork in the road. When the Zing-Zings see Team Amazon, they hold them at spear point, capture them and tie them to a large tree.

The song Gypsy Rap is started by the Zing-Zings, when they start playing background music with their guitars after Team Amazon is notified that they must sing. Team Amazon called Chris for help but he ordered them to sing at that moment and also wanted a solo at the end from Heather. During Heather's solo, the Zing-Zings see her missing tooth and abruptly end the song to rush over and pull away several large leaves. Behind those leaves is a wooden statue of a goddess that resembles Heather, but with a golden tooth in place of the missing one. They deem Heather as their leader, replace her missing tooth with a gold one and leave the others tied up. Courtney asks Heather to tell the Zing-Zings to untie the rest of them, but Heather reminds her that ordering them around could make the Zing-Zings angry enough to sacrifice one of them. In the end, Chef Hatchet arrives and cuts the rope with a cleaver, informing the team that the natives they encountered weren't actually Zing-Zings. The natives reveal to Heather that they are just local Peruvian teenagers hired as actors for a Shakespearean play. This disgusts Heather, as she had allowed them to have their hands in her mouth when they put in her gold tooth.
