Trivia[]
- Roger Lemke, Anthony, Sofia, and Leonardo Silvestrini, and Paul Field make respective guest appearances on "Ballerina, Ballerina", "Hot Potato (Young Wiggles)", and "Nya Nya Nya".
- They were only credited for their vocals in the liner notes of the North American release of the album.
- This album was:
- The first to feature vocals from Carolyn Ferrie, and the only album where she sings backing vocals.
- The last studio album to feature Greg Truman as a backing vocalist.
- The last to feature violist Angela Lindsay as a musician until Go To Sleep Jeff!.
- The last album to have Jeff Fatt credited as a musician until Hoop-Dee-Doo it's a Wiggly Party (on which he plays bass) and the last album to have Fatt credited for playing keyboards until Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!.
- "Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance?)", "Can You (Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist?)", "Rock-A-Bye Your Bear", and "Hot Potato" were all re-recorded for the soundtrack and film.
- The new instrumental track for "Hot Potato" was later reused for the 1998 version of the song heard on the North American version of the Yummy Yummy album released that year.
- "Can You (Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist?)" was re-done in the key of E major; It was initially in the key of D major when it was first recorded for the Big Red Car album.
- "I'm a Cow" was the only previously released song that appears in its original version. "Romp Bomp A Stomp" was not re-recorded but removed Dorothy's spoken lines and was slightly mixed differently.
- The songs "Quack Quack" and "Nya Nya Nya" were first performed during the Wake Up Jeff! tour, and later seen in the concert video Wiggledance!.
- The instrumental song "The Chase", which was featured twice in the movie, was not included on the album. It was later released on the 1998 US version of the Yummy Yummy album.
- "Wigglemix" later got a video clip filmed (featuring the Wiggle Puppets) that appeared on The Dorothy the Dinosaur and Friends Video and the American and UK releases of the 1998 version of Yummy Yummy.
- The multimedia track "Wiggles Interactive" was removed from the North American release of the album.
- This was the last album in Australia to have "Rock-A-Bye Your Bear" credited to only Anthony Field and Greg Page.
Mistakes and Errors[]
- The booklet on "Wiggly Medley" show closing lyrics from "We Like To Say Hello", although that song was not heard in the final medley.
- The North American liner notes used the original writing and publishing credits from the original Australian release despite the fact that by the time of the US release, the writing and publishing credits for "Rock-A-Bye Your Bear" and the publishing credits for many other songs such as "Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance?)", "Can You (Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist?)", and "Hot Potato" were revised.
