Zing-Zings

The Zing-Zings are an ancient tribe native to the Peruvian Amazon and are seen in the Total Drama World Tour episode The Am-AH-Zon Race when they visit the Amazon.

Chris introduces the contestants that the Zing-Zings are a native tribe and have never have come into contact with modern civilization, so Chris warns them not to go near them or speak to them. During the episode, Team Amazon has the unfortunate fate of making contact with several Zing-Zings when they take a wrong turn in a split path. The Zing-Zings soon see Team Amazon and hold them at spear point. Later, Team Amazon is tied up to a giant tree with a rope. Gwen decides to use the walkie-talkie so that Chris can help them out of their situation. On the walkie-talkie, Heather demands that Chris help them. Chris tells them to calm down, but then the chime rings and Team Amazon is forced to sing a song while being held at spear point.

The song Gypsy Rap is started by the Zing-Zings acting as background music, by using guitars for the song. At the end of the song, during Heather's solo, the Zing-Zings see Heather's missing tooth and then rush over to pull away a bunch of large leaves, revealing a wooden statue of a goddess that resembles Heather and her missing tooth. They make Heather their leader, replace her missing tooth with a gold tooth, and leave the others tied up. Courtney asks for Heather to tell the Zing-Zings to untie them, but Heather believes that if she does so, they could get angry and sacrifice one of them. In the end, Chef Hatchet arrives and cuts the rope with a cleaver, telling them that those aren't real Zing-Zings. The Zing-Zings then reveal to Heather that they are actually just local Peruvian teenagers hired as actors for a Shakespearean play. It is unknown whether or not the Zing-Zings are actually real, or if they were just a made-up tribe by all along by Chris.
