Zing-Zings

The Zing-Zings are an ancient tribe native to the Peruvian Amazon and are only seen in the Total Drama World Tour episode The Am-AH-Zon Race. Chris introduces them to the contestants by stating that the Zing-Zings are a native tribe to the Amazon and have never come into contact with modern civilization, so he warns them not to make contact with them. During the episode, Team Amazon has the unfortunate fate of making contact with several Zing-Zings when they take a wrong turn at a fork in the road. 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. They attempt to call for help, but find they were given a walkie-talkie with no batteries. Cody had some in his pocket, but when Gwen reached for them, she wound up getting injected with his epipen instead. Courtney eventually finds the batteries in Cody's other pocket and they are able to call for help. Gwen decides to use the walkie-talkie so that Chris can help them out of their situation. 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 one, and leave the others tied up. Courtney asks for Heather to tell the Zing-Zings to untie them, but Heather says that if she does so, they could get angry and sacrifice one of them. She clearly just enjoyed seeing people that annoyed her tied up and being held at spearpoint. 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.
