Behind the Scenes
When Wiggledance! was made, the Wiggles updated their logo. This new logo, with a yellow splotch behind their name, appeared on the stage floor and the video covers. However, the Wiggles themselves wore their usual plain colored shirts with short sleeves during the concert.
One song, "Vini Vini," was only in the very first release of the video. Later versions of Wiggledance! removed this song.
In the song "Wake Up Jeff!", you might spot Anthony Field's brother, Paul Field, and his family in the audience. Paul Field was also a singer for the band The Cockroaches.
In 2013, the Wiggles added Wiggledance! to their Wiggle Time TV service, so more people could watch it. Later, in 2019, parts of the original 1997 video were released on their YouTube channel as "Classic Wiggles."
