Romp Bomp A Stomp (song)



"Romp Bomp A Stomp" is Dorothy's favorite dance.

Prologue Transcript from The Wiggly Big Show Director's Cut (1999)
(Murray walks over to get his guitar and Greg walks over to the keyboard where Jeff is standing.)

Anthony: I have a question for you, Dorothy. Would you like to do another dance with all of us?

Dorothy: I love to do another dance with everyone.

Anthony: You beauty! But hang on Dorothy, there's lots of dances in the world. What dance would you like to do?

Dorothy: Uhh.... the Romp Bomp a Stomp!

Anthony: Romp Bomp a Stomp (Dorothy giggles) sounds like a great one! But we need someone to count it in, Do...

(Dorothy points Anthony to Officer Beaples on the steps.)

Anthony: Officer Beaples, of course!

(Officer Beaples walks down the steps.)

Anthony: (to Officer Beaples) Officer, (blubbers briefly) we're gonna do a dance called the Romp Bomp a Stomp. Would you mind coming up front? We'll start the song off. Let's go. (walks together with Officer Beaples) Right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left. Oop, stop. Now, the police whistle. When you blow that police whistle, Officer Beaples, we'll all start dancing the Romp Bomp a Stomp.

(Officer Beaples blows her police whistle.)

Trivia

 * The movie version of the song, as well as most appearences afterward omit Dorothy's lines (Come on everybody dance!, This is fun!, Keep Dancing!, etc.), and the amount of guitar and trumpet heard is heavier than the one in Wake Up Jeff! However, it is not typically considered a re-recording, as the change is minor, and the lyrics are not re-recorded.
 * The name of the dance is based off of what The Wiggles say Dorothy sings from her first four songs.
 * This was supposed to be in Wiggle Time (re-recording) as well.
