Rock-a-Bye Your Bear

"Rock-a-bye Your Bear" is one of the most iconic Wiggles songs. They always sing it in live shows and in some of their videos. It made its debut in the first Wiggles album back in 1991. Either the Purple Wiggle falls asleep at the end of the song, or more recently, or a teddy bear mascot.

This Wiggly classic was written by Anthony Field and Greg Page.

Trivia

 * In the original 1991 album version, Jeff snores at the end and Anthony says "Turn that trumpet down! Bears are trying to sleep!"
 * The 2013 version was actually taped in a live studio with a teddy bear mascot who is sleeping at the end until the Wiggles wake him up. This can be seen in TV Series 7.

The background music from It's a Wiggly Circus and Circus Cyclists Cycling! is also played.
 * This song is usually one of the first songs performed in their concerts.
 * The instrumental track has three main versions. 1991-1996, a trumpet starts the song, from 1997 onward, an accordion starts the song, and since 2013, sometimes it starts with light piano.
 * The "yippee!" after "Then you turn around" wasn't yet added until 1996.
 * Anthony or Murray have played the guitar in this song.
