 * For the speaking recordings, The Wiggles wrote "I Knew a Cricket", "Bert the Wombat", "A Pirate's Life", "Rainy Day", "Glush Swish Mush Nump", and "It's Been Raining All Day".

Lyrics

 * This is the first Wiggles album to feature song lyrics listed in the booklet.

Musicians

 * This was first and only Wiggles album to feature Cockroaches member Peter Mackie on Acoustic guitar on The Gypsy Rover.

Song Credits

 * This was the first album that Murray, Jeff and Greg were credited as producers, and would remain producers until 2002.

Others

 * This was the first time The Wiggles appeared in their coloured skivvies.
 * Phillip Wilcher, who left shortly after the release of the band's first album from 1991, was supposed to stay as a behind-the-scenes writer for this album, but was apparently told by Anthony at a Neil Diamond concert that the album had been recorded while Phillip was away, and was not needed.
 * Many of the tracks were used in The Wiggles' first video, Wiggle Time, and its remake. A majority of the album was re-released on the 2000 Wiggle Time (named after the video), and its American counterpart Let's Wiggle.
 * "Dorothy's Birthday Party", "Henry the Octopus" and "Whenever I Hear This Music" were later re-recorded in 1998.
 * EMI Music published all of The Wiggles' songs on this album.
 * The front cover shows a hand-drawn version of Dorothy the Dinosaur.
 * The album was recorded from May to June 1992.
 * The Wiggles had a deadline to record the album and they were at a recording studio in Cremorne, on Sydney's lower north shore.
