Trivia
- The Wiggles, John Field, Dominic Lindsay, and Steve Irwin wrote this song at Electric Avenue Studios.
- In the 2013 version, the brass section is omitted so that the guitars and keyboards can sound more clearly.
- The 2013 music video was filmed alongside Furry Tales as the cliffs are seen in Tasmanian Tiger.
- The 2013 music video showed footage making some older fans believe that Lachy and Emma are in a romantic relationship. (See Lemma for more info).
- There is a medley named after this song.
- The album version of Wiggly Safari has a slightly longer fade-out, but on the instrumental version of Karaoke Songs 3, it fades out even more.
- An instrumental track of this song is played over the credits of the Splish Splash! Big Red Boat DVD.
- Like Dorothy Queen of the Roses, this song was also filmed live but in order to release it on the Wiggly Safari video, the live footage was re-dubbed with studio audio.
