Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on His Pirate Ship (Quack Quack)

"Quack Quack" (A.K.A. Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on his Pirate Ship) is a song about when Captain Feathersword fell asleep on his pirate ship, but woke up to find himself living on a farm with the ducks and roosters. This song did not get a full music video until Wiggle Time (re-recording). However a special version was made for The Wiggles Movie.

Live In Concert. Later, after Wiggledance! Live In Concert, it was re-recorded in 1998 for the Wiggle Time (re-recording) video and album and then the Toot Toot! album.

Trivia

 * The Piano & Trumpet Track from the 1996 Concert Version is Reused in the Wiggles Movie Version, Plus with the Lead Vocals performed by the former Yellow Wiggle Greg Page.
 * The song was written in December 1996.
 * The Karaoke Songs 1 shows that John Field's name was in the credits, although he didn't write it.
 * Although Quack Quack has been changed to “Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on his Pirate Ship” since 1998, the year when the Toot Toot album was released, the former title is still heard during the chorus and is still seen in the regular version of the Wiggle Time video.
 * Jeff Fatt is not credited for the playing the keyboards for the 1998 version.
