In the North American and UK versions of the 1998 video, some songs were replaced with videos featuring the Wiggle Puppets. In this re-recording, the Wiggles wore shirts with their logos, and Anthony wore a blue shirt instead of his usual green one. Paul Paddick joined the cast as Captain Feathersword.
