"**Wiggle Time!**" is the first video by The Wiggles, released on September 20, 1993.

Production primarily took place earlier in 1992. The Wiggles and their friends Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus and Captain Feathersword all made their debuts (Wags the Dog wasn't created at the time). The video includes songs from their first three albums (with the songs from their first album being re-recorded), plus a new song including their hit song, "Marching Along".

It, along with its 1994 successor Yummy Yummy, was remade in 1998. Because of this, the original version was never given a DVD release. However, on April 6, 2018, it was uploaded on The Wiggles' YouTube channel in 5 parts to launch the Classic Wiggles playlist. On November 11th 2020 the video was uploaded again as a full version.

## Plot

**Opening** - The Wiggles are waving their hands way up high from the song *"Whenever I Hear This Music"* while the intro of *"Get Ready To Wiggle"* plays in the background and the Wiggle Time logo is showing in front, with the "The Wiggles Video" by-line.

Jeff has fallen asleep while standing and then Anthony, Greg and Murray arrive, realising that he had fallen asleep, and The Wiggles didn't know what to do. Then Murray asked if they can play a trick on Jeff to wake him up. Greg thought it was a great idea and so The Wiggles played a trick on him to wake him up. So Greg asked everybody to wake him up that when we count to 3, we all need to yell Wake Up Jeff!. 1, 2, 3, Wake Up, Jeff! Jeff jumps and screams and then runs around to the back of the set and then to the front. Anthony asks Jeff if he's awake now and he said that he is awake. Anthony was glad for him to be awake because they want everyone to Wiggle with them and its a great idea for Jeff and the others and now its time to Wiggle! Lets Wiggle now here we go!

* **Song 1**: "Get Ready To Wiggle"

Greg introduces the moves for the next song, based on a bear, a kangaroo, a snake, and a wombat.

* **Song 2**: "Here Comes a Bear"

The Wiggles ask Captain Feathersword if he knows a pirate dance.

* **Song 3**: "Captain Feathersword"

Murray makes animal noises and explains the basis of the next song.

* **Song 4**: "Uncle Noah's Ark"
* **Song 5**: "Ponies"

Anthony introduces Dorothy the Dinosaur.

* **Song 6**: "Dorothy the Dinosaur"
* **Song 7**: "Whenever I Hear This Music"

Jeff pretends to be an octopus, then introduces Henry.

* **Song 8**: "Henry the Octopus"

Murray and Greg talk about the next song.

* **Song 9**: "Rock-A-Bye Your Bear"
* **Greg's Magic Show**

Jeff uses paint droppers with kids.

* **Song 10**: "I Love It When It Rains"

The Captain says "Ahoy there, me hearties!".

* **Song 11**: "We're All Friends"
* **Song 12**: "Marching Along"
* **Song 13**: "Dorothy's Birthday Party"

Greg remarks what a great party it was, but now they're tired so it's time to go. They all say goodbye and then they all fell asleep except for Jeff. Then Jeff tries to wake them up by saying "Wake Up, Wiggles! Wake Up!" but they didn't wake up. Jeff then crosses his arms and shakes his head with a sigh. It's always Jeff that falls asleep, isn't it, but it doesn't matter.

The credits come up with "Get Ready To Wiggle" for background music.
