Wiggle Time

**Wiggle Time** was the remake video by The Wiggles. It was released on the 13th April, 1998.

The video started production in Early 1998, although some songs were recorded in 1997.

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 songs of "Get Ready to Wiggle", Rock-A-Bye Your Bear and Dorothy the Dinosaur were re-recorded because they were in the 1993 Wiggles video and Greg's voice sounded a bit younger then. So they re-recorded the song. On this video Paul Paddick plays Captain Feathersword unlike the original.

## Plot

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

Greg, Murray and Anthony introduce themselves, as well as Jeff, who has fallen asleep. Greg remarks that Jeff is always falling asleep, and that they have to wake him up. After Greg, Murray and Anthony wake Jeff up, Anthony tells everyone that it's time to wiggle!

* **Song 1**: Get Ready to Wiggle (new recording)

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

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

Greg is introducing the next segment when Captain Feathersword comes behind each of the Wiggles and tickles them with his feathersword. Anthony introduces Captain Feathersword, and Greg tells the Captain "No more tickling", but Captain Feathersword tickles Greg again after he resumes his 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

Murray introduces the next song about a man who lived a long, long, time ago. His name was Noah. He had to save some animals from a flood so he built a boat and he called it an ark. Murray 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.
