Trivia

 * According to the "Wiggles songs" category, this is the number one Wiggles Song on Wigglepedia along with Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles!.
 * In some parts of the original 1998 version, Anthony's skivvy is darker than it usually is so as to not interfere with the bluescreen process. The 1998 version also shows, the Big Red Car flying at the end. This is similar to Grease, a 1978 film.
 * This song is sometimes confused with the song Big Red Car as they're both songs about The Big Red Car.
 * The 1998 version aired on television after the Toot Toot video was released.
 * The Karaoke Songs 1 shows that John Field's name was in the credits, although he didn't write it.
