Trivia

• It took about two years for the Wiggles to record this album.
• The booklet shows an image of The Wiggles and the kids doing the highland fling in a castle, which was taken alongside the Dial E for Emma DVD, but that's not on the actual DVD itself. This could have meant that it's for an upcoming anonymous song that will be released in a matter years. The name of that song might have been "Scotland the Brave" or "The Happy Wanderer" or better yet "No Man's Land", which was originally sung by Eric Bogle.
• We're Dancing with Wags the Dog, "Dah Dah Dee Dee" On the High Road to Linton!, and Glasgow City Police Pipers are the only songs that don't appear on this album.
• The Wiggles wrote Dance, Dance! and Rubber Boots. They also arranged songs such as Wiggly Party.
• Sam McFadden plays piano on A Taste Of Joplin.
• Most of the songs such as Wiggly Party receive new recordings.
• Banjo Breakdown, The Liberton Boys Polka, and A Taste Of Joplin are the instrumental tracks on this album.
• A Behind the Scenes clip shows The Wiggles recording the song St. Patrick's Day.
• A Behind the Scenes photo shows Samuel McFadden playing the piano on A Taste of Joplin.
