The Wiggles - Santa's Rockin'!
The Wiggles celebrate Christmas around the world inSanta's Rockin'with the help of musical guests such as John Fogerty,  Barry Williams, Ross Wilson, and Fernando, Julio, and Fernandito Moguel.   The show opens with Greg, Anthony, Murray, Jeff, and Captain Feathersword,  clad in striking Christmas pants and accompanied by dancing "Wiggly"  reindeer on a colorful stage, bursting into the silly song "Captain  Feathersword's Christmas Dance."  John Fogerty (guitar and vocals) quickly  joins the group with a celebration of home and family in a country-inspired  "Christmas All Over the World."  Sam Moran sings a traditional "Baccarole"  with new lyrics depicting the first Christmas morning, and Ross Wilson (King  Mondo) performs an original song about the birth of Jesus that's  accompanied by video of young babies with their parents.  A somewhat  amateurish mariachi band performs a song about the Lady of Guadeloupe and  joins the Wiggles in a Spanish/English version of "Silent Night."   Interspersed between guest appearances are several typically  Wiggles-sounding songs about Henry the Octopus's new post as Santa's  wrapping helper, Dorothy the Dinosaur's penchant for receiving roses as  gifts, and Wags the Dog's incessant barking one Christmas Eve (featuring  Barry Williams).  Typically, guest artists augment the range of musical  styles and tempos in a given performance and add a new sense of excitement  and diversity.  Unfortunately, the musical selections in this 45-minute  program feature an overwhelming sameness of sound and mood that proves  rather monotonous and fails to live up to theSanta's Rockin'title.
