Plot
A clock is shown infront like the Lyrick Studios' Trailers. It rings until the video title shows.

Greg, Murray and Anthony, introduce themselves except for Jeff because he is fallen asleep. The Wiggles have to wake him up. Greg remarks that Jeff is always falling asleep. At the count of 3, we'll wake Jeff up. 1, 2, 3, Wake Up Jeff! Jeff is awake. Anthony says "Are you awake now, Jeff?" and he said yes. and now it's time to Wiggle! Let's all wiggle, everybody!


 * Song 1: Get Ready to Wiggle

Greg introduces the next song about a bear, a kangaroo, a snake, and a wombat. At the end of the song let's all give a growl like a scary bear.


 * Song 2 : Here Comes a Bear*

Greg is introducing the next segment when Captain Feathersword comes behind each of the Wiggles and tickles them with his feathersword. Anthony introduces Captain Feathersword. Greg tells Captain Feathersword, "No more tickling," but Captain Feathersword tickles Greg with his feathersword again after he resumes his speech. This repeats a few times. Greg tells Captain Feathersword no more tickling, and Captain Feathersword says, "We should do a pirate dance then." The Wiggles repeat "A pirate dance!" in unison, and Captain Feathersword says "Let's all do a pirate dance together."


 * Song 3: Captain Feathersword*

Murray introduces the next song about a man who lived a long, long, time ago who was Uncle Noah. He had to save some animals from a flood so he built a boat and he called it an Noah's Ark. Murray then does the animal noies which are the duck, cow, roster, cat, goat and the donkey (But not the pig). And so he askes everyone if they can come aboard onto Uncle Noah's Ark with the Wiggles.


 * Song 4: Uncle Noah's Ark*

Jeff is painting something that he saw on Farmer Brown's farm. He takes the picture and shows it. It's a pony.


 * Song 5: Ponies*

Anthony talks about Dorothy the Dinosaur. She's green, she's got yellow spots, she wears a large floppy hat, but best of all, she loves to eat roses. Dorothy also loves to sing, she goes "Romp Bomp a Chomp." Anthony opens and closes his hands. "Can you sing it with us? Let's try. Romp bomp a chomp." Here's the song about the first time they met Dorothy the Dinosaur.


 * Song 6: Dorothy the Dinosaur


 * Song 7: Whenever I Hear This Music

Jeff is being a octopus with another blue-violet shirt over him. He asks if you know what he is and he is an octopus. And then he tells thats its just him. And then he tells that he has a friend who is a octopus who is Henry the Octopus.


 * Song 8: Henry the Octopus

The Wiggles are having a teddy bears picnic and Greg says that they know a song about teddy bears and say if everyone can sing and do the actions with them.


 * Song 9: Rock-a-Bye Your Bear


 * Song 10: Magic

Magic Greg has a hat and a cape. He puts away his magic wand. Greg has a picture book, but as he flips through the pages, there aren't any pictures. Let's take another look just to make sure. He flips through them again, but no pictures. He asks if you could help him do some magic to put some pictures in there? Great. Everyone get out their magic pencils in their pocket, and draw some pictures in the air for him. Then throw the pictures in the coloring book. He flips through the book and now there are a bunch of drawings. Wow! Well done! Now let's put some color in those pictures. Rub some color from your clothes and then throw them at the book. Take a look now. Greg flips through the book but there's no color. Greg ponders and then realizes he forgot to use his magic wand, which he pulls out. How silly. Let's try one more time. Greg has the audience rub the color on their clothes and throw the color at the book. Greg waves the wand, and at the count of 3, says "Abracadabra." He then flips through the book and there is color on the drawings. Fantastic. Now give yourselves a really big clap. Well done.

Jeff is with Emma and Jessie and paint by using droppers. Jeff says to watch the paint come out of the dropper and says that it looks like rain.


 * Song 11: I Love it When it Rains*

Anthony and Greg introduce Captain Feathersword, who says "Ahoy there, me hearties" while swinging his feathersword but it flies in the air and lands on the ground. He tries again but the same thing happens. On the third try the sword hits him in the head and he falls to the ground. They ask Captain if he's alright, and Captain replies he's a bit quackers. Anthony and Greg imitate him saying "quack quack". Captain asks what about "cock-a-doodle-doo." They can do that too. Now we can all quack quack and cock-a-doodle-doo together.
 * Song 12: Quack Quack

Greg leads Murray and a line of kids and the other Wiggles. The kids are holding presents. Greg says he and the others are going to Dorothy the Dinosaur's birthday party. You can come too!

Similarities

 * Get Ready To Wiggle, Here Comes a Bear, Captain Feathersword, and Uncle Noah's Ark are the first four songs played.
 * Jeff is sleeping in the very beginning having to be woken up before singing "Get Ready To Wiggle".
 * Greg introduces "Here Comes A Bear"
 * The Wiggles are tickled by Captain Feathersword after "Here Comes A Bear". They say ahoy there to the Captain. Greg tries to talk and is tickled by Captain. He asks if he tickled him and Captain lies and when Greg asks everyone else, they reply "Yes". Then Greg tells Captain to stop it. Greg speaks and is interrupted by Captain's tickle. The pattern happens one more time.
 * Murray introduces "Uncle Noah's Ark" and act out the animals. He says it was noisy on the ark, but still lots of fun. He then invites the audience to come onto Uncle Noah's Ark.
 * A dog catcher and a police officer are seen separately during their own verses with no one else tagging along with them
 * Greg has the same magic coloring book from 1993. See the Magic Skit part of the plot and that is what happened in the original 1993 version.
 * The prologue for "I Love it When It Rains" has a wiggle introducing it while painting using droppers with other kids. The wiggle notices it looks like rain. The camera zooms in to shows the drops falling out of the droppers, but the zooming in is cut out.
 * There is no intro for "Whenever I Hear This Music"
 * The Wiggles and some kids march along to Dorothy's Birthday party and pause on their way so the wiggle in the front of the line explains where they're marching to. The wiggle in the front is also singing.
 * "Dorothy's Birthday Party" is the last song performed in the video.

Differences

 * The Wiggles have their trademark shirts.
 * Wags the Dog appears.
 * Captain Feathersword is played by Paul Paddick so Anthony can be seen as a wiggle at the same time Captain Feathersword is present.
 * The songs "Ponies" and "Quack Quack" are added, while "Fruit Salad" is removed.
 * The song title appears before the song is introduced, not the beginning of the song.
 * The Wiggles introduce themselves.
 * "Captain Feathersword" doesn't take place right after "Here Comes a Bear", the song title takes place between the growling and tickling and The Wiggles aren't interrupted by the tickling during the growling.
 * Captain tickles The Wiggles one at a time instead of all at once.
 * Murray does animal noises individually instead of with the Non-Realistic Wiggles before "Uncle Noah's Ark"
 * Only one wiggle is present in the introduction for "I Love It When It Rains".
 * Greg sings "Marching Along".
 * The Wiggles don't close out the video, instead there's some bonus concert footage at the end.
 * The children wore summer clothes in this video and Yummy Yummy. Judging from the fact this video was released in early February, it would have had to be filmed before that date. If filming in 1998, it would have to be January, which is when it is summer in Australia.

Trivia

 * Some people in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada or any other country than Australia think that this is the only version of this video, due to this being the only version released outside of Australia.
 * This video "Wiggle Time" and "Yummy Yummy" were re-filmed at the same time after the TV Series because of a blue sky backdrop.
 * The re-recorded verses for "Whenever I Hear This Music" are switched around.
 * "Quack, Quack" finally gets its music video debut.
 * And now, from this video onwards, Captain Feathersword is now wearing black pants with silver lines between instead of dark blue jeans with light blue lines between because they're the same ones as the Wiggles' pairs.
 * Jeff's keyboard is seen in the prologue for "Quack, Quack" because Jeff is nowhere to be seen, not even Murray with the yellow Takamine acoustic guitar.
 * As mentioned above, the remake also features three concert songs: Wave To Wags, Five Little Ducks, and Wiggly Medley.
 * The live songs were shot in Wigglemania Live in Concert in 1998.
 * In one shot of Dorothy's Birthday Party, you can see part of the set.
 * For an unknown reason The Wiggles don't say goodbye at the end.
 * In America, the back cover of the VHS cover lists Dorothy (Would You Like to Dance?) as being in the video, even though it doesn't appear outside of the Medley.
 * Additionally, the American DVD and VHS re-release lists songs in a random order, and Sing a Song of Polly is accidentally listed instead of Wave to Wags.
 * This and Yummy Yummy were the first two videos to be released in New Zealand.
 * This is the first Wiggles video with the 1998-2005 ABC For Kids Opening
 * The set design used for Get Ready to Wiggle will be used again in Rock & Roll Preschool.
