## Production

The video was filmed during the group's concert tour to promote the *Toot, Toot!* album and companion video. The 1999 video version of "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car" was used to frame the video; it was split up so that it starts in Wiggles World, transitions to the beginning of the concert, and returns to the video of the group in Wiggles World for the closing credits.

The video contains scenes from multiple concerts, as The Wiggles and the supporting cast can be seen in different positions from the scene cuts. Not all concert footage was included in the video, specifically, some scenes involving Dorothy were cut, but were later used in the television series. The "Wiggly Christmas Medley" has been incorporated into some episodes in the television series and was added to the 1999 version of *Wiggly, Wiggly, Christmas* while the 1999 version of the "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car" appeared in the 1999 version of *Toot Toot!*.

The Wiggles continue to place family and friends in their videos. In one of the skits involving Captain Feathersword speaking at different speeds, which debuted earlier in a Disneyland television special in 1998, fellow studio drummer Tony Henry from The Cockroaches is shown in the audience with his family. The Wiggles acknowledge their sponsor, OzEmail Internet, at the beginning and at the end of their video.

Another Big Show concert was filmed earlier in Melbourne in November 1997 and aired as a television special on the Disney Channel Australia on 17 September 2000, although it aired earlier before that date in 1999.

## Notes

1. **^** The instrumental song "Magic Club Music" plays as background music.
2. **^** Jeff doesn't participate in this song although he does Henry the Octopus' voiceover.
3. **^** The instrumental version of "Let's Have a Party" is played after "Wiggly Medley" as goodbye music.
4. **^** The songs "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga Big Red Car" and "In the Wiggles' World" are played in the end credits.
5. **^** \* After "Bucket of Dew", Dorothy is introduced backstage, and the video jumps to "Romp Bomp a Stomp" where Dorothy is on stage holding a rose bouquet. In the concert, The Wiggles play "D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur)", during which Dorothy walks in with the bouquet and at the end, Dorothy's done a split just like in Wiggledance!. This "missing song" can be seen in their TV series episode "Imagination". After "Romp Bomp a Stomp", the video jumps to "Hot Potato" but there are bubbles floating around.
