Lyrick Studios/Marketing

Video advertisements for The Wiggles from their first North American distributor, Lyrick Studios.

Overview
Each promo opens with the clock intro from Wiggle Time!, followed by a music video taken from each of the studio's Wiggles VHS releases (except Wiggly Play Time). Each ends with a picture of a video and/or album related to the music video over a blue sky background (or a white snowy background for Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas), with narration stating it is coming soon or available now (not always accurate, such as the late-2000 Barney's Dino Dancin' Tunes VHS promoting Yummy Yummy as coming 1999, which had already passed) while the end of Get Ready To Wiggle plays. There are four different variants of narration, which is how they're divided in the sections below.

"Coming October 1999 from Lyrick Studios"
Lyrick Studio's first promo for The Wiggles from mid-1999.

There are two main versions, one using the Hot Potato music video from Yummy Yummy, and the second using The Monkey Dance from the same video. Both end promoting the Wiggle Time VHS, and the Yummy Yummy and Let's Wiggle CDs.

Later uses of the promo feature a phone number, 877-2-WIGGLES (or 877-294-4453), which you could call for more information.

Second versions of each replace the end cards with one promoting Yummy Yummy on VHS and CD (retaining the added phone number), but are otherwise identical.

Goofs

"Coming from Lyrick Studios"


After the initial October 1999 release, new promos were made with narration that simply stated a video was coming soon.

These used music videos of Quack Quack (for Wiggle Time), Romp Bomp A Stomp (for Wake Up Jeff!), We're Dancing With Wags The Dog), Fruit Salad (for Yummy Yummy), and Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas (for the video of the same name).

Like the previous promos, the 877-2-WIGGLES phone number appears plastered over later uses (the Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas version always has it).

Goofs

 * In the Fruit Salad version, the first drum beat from Romp Bomp A Stomp is heard before the music begins.

"Now Available on Home Video from Lyrick Studios"
In 2001, new narration stating videos were now available replaced the original narrations at the end of existing promos. New promos were also made for using Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance?)

Trivia

 * The audio clip of the announcer saying "Now available on home video from Lyrick Studios" is from the trailer of Barney Let's Play School.

"Get Ready to Wiggle"
Although all of the first two sets of promos end with the narrator saying "Get ready to Wiggle," the 2001 version of the Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas promo is unique for it only saying "Get ready to Wiggle" at the end. Besides this change, it is identical to the previous version.

VHS Appearance

 * Bob the Builder: Bob's White Christmas 2001 VHS (Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas)

Video and Audio Collection promo
A more traditional promo was made as Lyrick Studios last for The Wiggles. Clips from Wiggle Time! (1998), Yummy Yummy (1998), Toot Toot!, Dance Party and Wake Up Jeff! are played as a narrator describes the group and lists the videos available (all the ones just mentioned, plus Wiggly Play Time). Although it mentions their CD and Cassette releases, none of them are shown.
