Wigglepedia Fanon:The Best of The Wiggles (1997)

The Best of The Wiggles is a fanmade album released in November 1997. It compiles some of The Wiggles best known songs up to that point from albums The Wiggles, Here Comes A Song, Stories and Songs, Yummy Yummy, Big Red Car, Wake Up Jeff, The Wiggles Movie Soundtrack and it even had some songs specially made or altered for the release. An accompanying video was released in December 1997, coinciding with the theatrical release of The Wiggles Movie. The VHS contained songs from ABC For Kids Live In Concert, Wiggle Time, Yummy Yummy, Big Red Car, Wake Up Jeff and Wiggledance. They couldn't use footage from The Wiggles Movie because it was owned by 20th Century Fox, not the ABC. The filmed prologues and epilogues for the video as well as prologues for specific songs, starring The Wiggles and Dorothy the Dinosaur on the set of Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas. Other songs retained original prologues from their respective videos. The album and video went out of print in 2000, making it one of the Wiggles' videos that was availiable in stores for the shortest amount of time, along with Wiggledance (1997), Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas (1997-1998) and Toot Toot! (1998). The video was rumoured to be re-released on DVD in 2012 with The Wiggles first two music videos, Get Ready To Wiggle and Dorothy the Dinosaur, from ABC For Kids Video Hits and ABC For Kids Video Hits Vol. 2 respectively, as bonus tracks, as well as a photo gallery but The Wiggles released Big Birthday instead.
