### Differences in the 1999 version

* The prologues for songs such as 'Look Both Ways', 'John Bradlelum', 'Move Your Arms Like Henry' and 'Wags The Dog, He Likes To Tango' are slightly changed. In some shots, alternate camera angles which weren't in the original version were used.
* At the start of the song 'Food Food Food (Oh How I Love My Food)', the rotation on the chroma key footage of Foodman was fixed so he is now facing sideways.
* 'Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!''s prologue was shortened slightly.
* The front-on shots in 'Do the Wiggle Groove' no longer have the 'Wiggle Groove' graphic.
* The end of the last shot from 'Dorothy The Dinosaur (Tell Me Who Is That Knocking?)' which was shorter in the original is not covered by a transition in this version.
* At the beginning of 'Balla Balla Bambina', an alternate camera angle which wasn't used in the original version was used.
* In 'Let's Have A Ceili', The close-up shot of Murray playing the Takamine EF325SRC acoustic guitar was moved to just as another shot was fading to another close-up shot of Captain Feathersword and Officer Beaples which means there is an extended outer shot of The Wiggles, Captain Feathersword and the Five Little Ducks. This also happened in the TV Series 2 episode Multicultural.
* During the new music video of 'Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car', alternate or extended shots which weren't used in the original 1998 video are used in this version.
