## Description

*Apples & Bananas* is the tastiest treat for children since tea time! Twenty-two bite-sized nursery rhymes and songs that have been sung by children for hundreds of years have now been given The Wiggles' special musical magic! Sing along with special guest Lee Hawkins to 'This Little Piggy Went to Market' and with the delightful Dennisha Pratt on 'Miss Polly Had a Dolly'. There's the "spider-iffic" actions of 'Itsy Bitsy Spider', Dorothy the Dinosaur swings on 'Shortnin' Bread', then we jump on board for 'The Wheels on the Bus' and 'This Old Man Came Rolling Home'! The Wiggles travel across the globe to Ireland for 'I'll Tell Me Ma' and 'Michael Finnegan' and then over the continent for the delightful French song 'Sur le Pont d'Avignon'. With centuries of songs served up fresh for your child, *Apples & Bananas* is certainly "a-peeling"!

* "Michael Finnegan" was shown on the Go Santa Go! DVD as a bonus feature. The title card of the DVD also makes its first discovery.
* An alternate version of the song with Simon and Anthony was shown in Ready, Steady, Wiggle! (TV Series 1) before The Wiggles even filmed/recorded the version used in this video.
* "The Four Presents" from the Big Red Car album finally makes its video debut. "A Froggy He Would A-Wooing Go" form the 1991 album also makes its video debut but it's titled as "Anthony Rowley".
* The Dorothy the Dinosaur dolls are used in the song Shortnin' Bread as Dorothy's children.
* Dennisha Pratt (from Sprout's The Sunny Side Up Show) guest stars in this video as Miss Polly in "Miss Polly Had A Dolly".
* Anthony plays the drums again in this video.
* The second time Captain Feathersword plays red Maton acoustic guitar. The first time was Wiggly Safari.

* The Wiggles sing "Pufferbillies" around the red Santa Fe Caboose, In Shockton, Texas, although it has nothing to do with the other song "Little Red Caboose Behind the Train".

* "Pufferbillies" lyrics are changed just a slight bit. The only lyric changed is "See the engine driver" from "See the station master".
* In the intro for "This Old Man Came Rolling Home", when Lachy describes the characteristics for who should play the old man, He describes Anthony's characteristics so Anthony was the old man in the song.
