## Trivia

* This is the second remake video, along with Wiggle Time!, which was released the same day.
* It's also the last remake video to use the Red Starry Guitar and Takamine guitars, as well as the 1997 long sleeved BONDS shirts with plain black trousers

* Three years later, It was revealed their original BONDS skivvies were made out of cotton as experts warned the group that wearing these long sleeved tees over time could make tiny holes caused by their belts. This could mean according to Anthony in 2022 Today Show interview he commented "We sweated so much in these skivvies, and at one show, Murray was sweating, and one child in the audience yelled out "Murray's melting!" and the other people in the audience thought that we might have to update them." although The Wiggles continued to wear the short-sleeved BONDS shirts on tour until 2006 when Greg retired and was replaced by Sam.

* "Pufferbillies" and "Havenu Shalom Alechem" make their video debuts.
* The Big Red Car only appeared in the title cards.
* The audio mix is made up of mono track panned slightly to the left or right on all versions.
* The prologues for D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur), Teddy Bear Hug and I Am A Dancer aren't used. The same also applies for the epilogues for Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes, Shaky Shaky and Henry's Dance.
* In the US and UK versions, Teddy Bear Hug and Numbers Rhumba were replaced with puppet versions of Wigglemix and Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy! (which were both previously featured in The Dorothy the Dinosaur and Friends Video). Teddy Bear Hug is a Raffi song, while Numbers Rhumba was written by David Walden and the necessary rights for these songs to appear in the video likely couldn't be obtained. However, Numbers Rhumba did appear on the North American release of the album despite this.
* Songs from this video can be seen in The Wiggles (TV Series 1) and The Wiggles (TV Series 2).
* The song title banner was used for some songs in TV Series 1.
* "Shaky Shaky" is the only song where the title card is played during the prologue and not during the song.
* Paul the Cook is played by Paul Hester, which back then, he and Tony Henry were The Wiggles drummers, as such this is the second video where one of The Wiggles' musicians guest stars, the first was Wake Up Jeff! with The Wiggles' trumpet player Dominic Lindsay, after this would be Yule Be Wiggling, the musician guest stars in which were violin player Maria Schattovits, cello player Margaret Lindsay and trumpet player Dominic Lindsay
* Ned and Freya Pike appear only in the prologue of Numbers Rhumba.
* On the back cover of the 2007 Warner Home Video DVD, Wags was altered so that his colours resemble his current design.
* This was the last appearance of the cloud background set until 2016's Dance Dance!.
* Footage from "Teddy Bear Hug" is used twice in the closing credits.
* The 2007 Warner Home Video release of this and Sailing Around the World kept the HIT Entertainment logo at the end for unknown reasons.
* This is the only Wiggles release by Warner Home Video to not have a DVD menu.
* The video was uploaded on YouTube starting July 10, 2019 as part of the Classic Wiggles series.
* With Paul Hester, this is the first collaboration video, the second was Wiggly Safari with Steve Irwin (aka The Crocodile Hunter) and the third was The Wiggles' Big Ballet Day! with The Australian Ballet.
* "Joannie Works With One Hammer" wasn't done twice until December 2013 with The New Wiggles, it was just done once in a regular tempo, The New Wiggles did it first in a regular tempo and then in a fast tempo.
* This is The Wiggles' second video remake, the others include Wiggle Time! on the same year as this video, Here Comes The Big Red Car and It's Time to Wake Up Jeff! (also known as Wiggle Around the Clock) in 2006, Hot Potatoes! The Best of The Wiggles in 2014 and Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas! in 2017.
* The outro of this video's audio was later reused in the credits of It's a Wiggly Wiggly World!.
* Anthony does an Elvis impression when he says "I've got my shaking clothes."
* Just like Wiggle Time, The 1998 remake was more successful than the 1994 original, as it was released in markets outside Australia and New Zealand and uploaded on YouTube as part of Classic Wiggles starting on July 10, 2019.
* The NCircle rerelease starts looping over and over again when finished until you stop it.
