The Wiggles introduce themselves and ask if they want to meet their friends Captain Feathersword, Dorothy, Wags, and Henry.

* **Song 2**: Here Come The Wiggles

Driving in the Big Red Car, Greg sits in the yellow seat and watches the road. Anthony sits in the blue seats and likes to eat crackers. Jeff sits in the purple seat and will try to stay awake if you can help him. Murray asks can you guess what seat he sits in? That's right, the red one, and he likes to play his guitar. So why don't we go for a ride in the Big Red Car.

* **Song 3**: In The Big Red Car We Like To Ride

Greg introduces Slim Dusty in the next song.

The Wiggles and Mascots dance in a barn while Slim Dusty plays guitar from the rafters.

* **Song 5**: Taba Naba - featuring Christine Anu.

Greg and Christine sit with a bunch of kids to do the dance while the other three Wiggles play guitars.

* **Song 8**: Hey, Hey, Hey We're All Pirate Dancing

Greg says we have a problem. Captain Feathersword can't stop drinking rosy tea from Dorothy. To show how addicted he is, Captain asks Greg a bunch of questions like: What's letter comes after S? What do you put a golf ball on? What do you eat scones and jam with? The answer of course is Tea!

* **Song 9**: Another Cuppa

Murray talks about the time when he once spoke about the stars. Flashback – Murray looks in the sky and wants to serenade them.

* **Song 10**: Starry Night
