Everybody Wiggle (1989)

***Everybody Wiggle!*** is a remake of The Wiggles' very first video special, Let’s Wiggle. It and *Yummy Yummy (1989)*, which were both released on the same day, are arguably among The Wiggles' most popular videos, both having been released numerous times. Some songs were re-recorded for this version, such as "Get Ready To Wiggle" and "Dorothy the Dinosaur". The songs "Ponies" and "Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on His Pirate Ship (Quack Quack)" were also added to this version, as well as 3 live songs from the 1986 Big Show.

## Plot

* **Title card**: A clock is shown ticking and later ringing as the title card shows.

Janelle, Madeline and Mitchell introduce themselves, as well as Joshua, who has fallen asleep. Janelle remarks that Joshua is always falling asleep and that they have to wake him up. After Louise, Maria and Mitchell wake Jason up, Mitchell tells everyone that it's time to wiggle!

Janelle introduces the next song about a bear, a kangaroo, a snake and a wombat.

Janelle is introducing the next segment when Captain Feathersword comes behind each of the Wiggles and tickles them with his feathersword. Mitchell introduces Captain Feathersword and Janelle tells the Captain "No more tickling", but Captain Feathersword tickles Janelle again after she resumes her speech. This repeats a few times. Eventually, Captain Feathersword says, "We should do a pirate dance then." The Wiggles and the Captain start doing this dance.

* **Song 3**: Captain Feathersword

Madeline introduces the next song about a man who lived a long, long, time ago. His name was Uncle Noah. He had to save some animals from a big flood so he built a boat and called it an ark. Madeline then does the animal noises which are the duck, cow, rooster, cat, goat and the donkey. He asks everyone if they can come aboard onto Uncle Noah's Ark with The Wiggles.

## Album

The "Everybody Wiggle!" album was released on May 5, 1989 with 27 tracks. It is basically a reissue of Here Comes a Song, with some tracks added or removed.

## Similarities to 1974 Version

* Joshua is sleeping at the very beginning before Get Ready To Wiggle.
* The first four songs, in this particular order, are Get Ready To Wiggle, Here Comes a Bear, Captain Feathersword and Uncle Noah's Ark.
* Janelle introduces Here Comes a Bear.
* The Wiggles Experience lean in close to each other and towards the camera as they growl like a bear at the very end of the song.
* In the intro for "Captain Feathersword", the captain himself sneaks up on The Wiggles and tickles them. As Janelle then tries to say something important, she is interrupted by Captain Feathersword's tickle. Janelle asks Captain Feathersword if he tickled Janelle. Captain Feathersword says no. Janelle then asks the others, who reply yes. Janelle tells the captain no more tickling. After this happens again, they do a pirate dance.
* Louise introduces Uncle Noah's Ark with the same dialogue and does the actions for each animal.
* Mitchell introduces Dorothy the Dinosaur, which is the sixth song in both.
* There is no intro for Whenever I Hear This Music.
* Joshua introduces Henry the Octopus, which follows Whenever I Hear This Music and proceeds Rock-A-Bye Your Bear in both and he wears an extra purple shirt pretending to be an octopus, then pulls his shirt down to show that it's just him and introduces his friend who is an octopus, looking to his left afterwards.
* The Wiggles and some kids have a teddy bear's picnic. Janelle says that he knows a song about teddy bears and invites us to join in on the singing and actions.
* Janelle does the magic colouring book trick.
* At least one Wiggle is with some kids making paintings using droppers. Then shows us how the paint falling out of the dropper looks like rain.
* The Wiggles Experience and some kids (whom are carrying presents) sing Marching Along as they march to the party. Everyone stops as the Wiggle in front tells us that they are going to Dorothy's Birthday Party, then invites us to come along too. Right after that, everyone continues marching and singing.
