"Shear the Sheep" is the nineteenth song featured in Total Drama World Tour. It is sung in "Picnic at Hanging Dork" at Australia. It is sung by Team Amazon (except for Cody and Sierra, although the latter's scream is heard, and the former is heard saying "woah!"), mainly by Heather and Courtney, with Gwen as backup. It is sung during the challenge, while they searching for their team logo on a sheep. During the song, Heather accuses Courtney of trying to lose the game on purpose, claiming that she is bringing her top game and will win.
Lyrics[]
Heather: Shearing sheep, don't be a creep,
It's the only way we'll fly first, peeps.
Win the game, don't be so lame,
Try to lose this and your face I'll maim!
Courtney: Shear the sheep, then, with a smile,
Make yourself a giant woolly, woolly, woolly pi-ile!
You had your chance and you turned him down,
So don't be giving me no cranky frowns!
Courtney, Gwen and Heather: We are shearing sheep!
We are shearing sheep!
We are shearing sheep!
We are shearing sheeeeep!
Sierra: Eeeeee!
Cody: Woah-oo-oo!
Heather: Shearing sheep instead of you,
Only cause you don't have any, a-tattoos!
I'll find a logo, we'll win again,
And I'll be here, until the bitter end!
Courtney, Gwen and Heather: We are shearing sheep!
We are shearing sheep!
We are shearing...
Yeaaahhhhh!
Sierra: Ahhhh!
Trivia[]
General[]
- The guitar Courtney is playing is in the shape of Australia.
- The bass Cody is playing is very similar to the guitar Owen plays in "Rock n' Rule" (Action), except Cody's bass displays the Australian flag, while Owen's guitar displayed the British flag.
- Interestingly, both instruments resembled an English-speaking country with a Union Jack on the flag.
- The montage of famous monuments in Australia that were shown during the song is similar to the montage of famous monuments in New York City in the beginning of "What's Not to Love" in the episode "Broadway, Baby!"
- This is one of the three songs which have an animal participating in it. The others being Condor which has a condor screeching in it and in Rowin' Time, has the sheep making sounds at the end.
Continuity[]
- The guitar that Cody plays is operated by buttons, referencing to the fact that he doesn't play guitar, as he reveals in "Not Quite Famous" (Island).
- This is the third and last song in which Team Amazon is the only team to sing in.
- The others are "Gypsy Rap" and "Boyfriend Kisser."
- This is the fourth song Gwen has sung backup in.
- This is the third non-aftermath song to not contain a speaking part.
- The others are "Stuck to a Pole" and "Gypsy Rap."
- Arguably, there is some vague foreshadowing in this song when Heather sings the line "And I'll be here until the bitter end," as she makes it all the way to the finale in this season.
References[]
- This song shares many similarities with the Australian rock band, AC/DC's 1980 hit single, "Back in Black."
- This makes "Picnic at Hanging Dork" the second episode to reference AC/DC.
- The first being Rock n' Rule in the previous season.
- This makes "Picnic at Hanging Dork" the second episode to reference AC/DC.
- Cody plays bass while shirtless onstage, a gimmick made popular by Australian bassist Flea.
- Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Sydney Opera House, are shown in the beginning of this song.
- The image of Ayers Rock is also seen as a poster during Mike's (Revenge of the Island) and Jasmine's (Pahkitew Island) audition tapes.
Goofs[]
- There are two goofs during Heather's line, "Win the game, don't be so lame":
- The drumstick Gwen was using to hit the drum on the far right vanishes.
- The bottom of Heather's shearer flashes from white to black for a split second.
- In the Cartoon Network download version of this song, Sierra's lines are not heard. This may be due to the fact that she does not sing but rather talks.
- Like most of the other songs that Cody is present, he is not eliminated despite not singing.
- Sierra also does not sing, yet she is also not eliminated.
