## Plot

**Opening** - The opening is a slow-motion clip from "D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur)" where The Wiggles are dancing while Dorothy is walking across with her mower by pulling in the Yummy Yummy title out. While the intro plays, the intro to the song "Get Ready To Wiggle" plays along with Anthony Field saying "Everybody listen up! Let's get ready to wiggle!".

The Wiggles introduce themselves and John the Cook. Murray asks what John has and he replies that he has some cold spaghetti. Anthony picks up some wiggly spaghetti with a spoon, shaking it. John also has mashed bananas; Greg picks up a bowl of bananas and mashes some with a fork. John also has hot potatoes. Murray picks up one potato but it's hot! He juggles it, passing it to Jeff, who passes it to Anthony, who passes it to Greg. Greg puts the potato back on the dish and says it's time to sing a song about hot potatoes, cold spaghetti and mashed bananas. He says to watch out for Captain Feathersword in case he comes by and takes the food.

* **Song 1**: Hot Potato

Greg remarks that Captain Feathersword sure was tricky, since he tries to take the food. Now we're going to do a song about shaking. First, let's get into our shaking clothes. 1, 2, 3. Greg snaps his fingers and The Wiggles are now wearing colourful sports jackets.

* **Song 2**: Shaky Shaky

In the end, they have to get back in there Wiggle clothes. They count to 3 and Greg snaps his finger and they all got back into there Wiggle clothes.

The Wiggles are with kids and Henry the Octopus. Greg tells everyone that Henry the Octopus is here and he tells everyone again to say hi to Henry. They greet Henry and he says "Hi, everybody" back. Murray asks what Henry is holding. Henry says that he is a teddy bear hugging his favourite teddy bear and he loves hugging his teddy bear. Murray suggests that let's all sing a song about teddy bears.

* **Song 3**: Teddy Bear Hug

Anthony talks about Dorothy the Dinosaur while Jeff is tricking him to be wearing a Dorothy tail and hat.

* **Song 4**: D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur)

Magic Greg does a magic trick from the box of mystery. For the music, Jeff plays the keyboard, Anthony plays a Fender bass guitar and Murray plays an acoustic guitar.

* **Song 5**: Camptown Races and Long Long Ago music

Dorothy is dancing with Vanessa the dancer and she had her pink shoes on to do a song about doing a ballet dance.

* **Song 6**: I Am A Dancer

After the song, Jeff dreamed that he was a monkey. And The Wiggles woke him up and then he started to act like a monkey.

* **Song 10**: The Monkey Dance

Captain Feathersword was trying to dance like Henry when Murray and Greg tells him what's going on? But he told them that he forgot how to do it. So they asked Henry if he can teach Captain Feathersword to dance with The Wiggles.

* **Song 11**: Henry's Dance

And after when he danced, he took a bow and his pirate hat fell off and when he picked it up, his feathersword fell. After Greg thought of an idea, to put the hat back on his head by jumping into the air and it worked.

Greg tells everyone that there are different types of ways to move while the other Wiggles do the actions.

* **Song 12**: Walk

The Wiggles and the others watch a videotape on TV all about Dorothy's birthday party.

### Dorothy's Birthday Party (Short Story)

The Wiggles and the others are falling asleep and Jeff tries to wake them up, Jeff said, "They always do this". But it doesn't matter. But it is always Jeff that falls asleep, isn't that right?

At the end of the video in the end credits, the "Fruit Salad" song plays as the closing music.

## Trivia

* At first in the video, Anthony wears a turquoise shirt. In "Henry's Dance", Anthony wears a white skivvy. The reason why he wore a white shirt over the chroma key is, if he stands in front of it with a green shirt of one of those colours, it will turn invisible underneath the chroma key screen. Another thing in this song is that white outlines are seen around The Wiggles, including Murray.
* This was the first video to have a chroma key in the background of a song (Henry's Dance).
* This is the first video that they have a helper for Anthony to play as Captain Feathersword.
* This is the second and last video that shows Wiggly merchandise in the End Credits.
* In "*Shaky Shaky*", Anthony plays a Fender Telecaster electric guitar that is later played by Murray in Big Red Car. In "*Greg's Magic Show: The Box of Mystery*" and "*I Am a Dancer*", he plays a Fender bass guitar which Murray plays in this video and The Wiggles - Wiggle Time! (1993). Murray plays a Double Bass in the same song.
* This is the first video to be awarded as 'Highest Selling Children's sales through videos' at the AVSDA Awards.
* "Hot Potato", "D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur)", "The Monkey Dance" and "Dorothy's Birthday Party (Short Story)" were filmed in early 1994, which shows Greg wearing black shoes. The rest such as "Shaky Shaky" and "Greg's Magic Show: The Box of Mystery" were filmed later that same year, which shows Greg wearing black boots with yellow laces.
* This is the first video where The Wiggles introduce themselves. Murray and Anthony are also mentioned by name for the first time. In Wiggle Time!, only Jeff and Greg's names were mentioned (Get Ready To Wiggle, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur and Henry the Octopus prologue). In their 1992 album Here Comes a Song, only Greg's name is mentioned in the song "Lechoo Yeladim". He is also the first Wiggle to have his name mentioned. This is also the first time where a bonus clip is shown.
* On the cover of the video, Murray plays the brown Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and Jeff plays the accordion.
* This is the first video to have time-lapse. (As seen in Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes).
* This is the only appearance of Anthony's White Skivvy.
* When The Wiggles are singing "Dorothy's Birthday Party", Jeff's skivvy becomes untucked. He fixes this afterwards. This is the first time for Jeff's skivvy to be untucked it then fix it again.
