Personally I didn't mind the green screen stuff because at least the backgrounds were detailed, and everybody was well-edited in for the most part. The same goes for the quality of backdrops now, but because they're handpainted and pretty big, there can be less of them, while for the early Sam videos they had a whole library of backgrounds to use as they please.

While I don't think it's exact, the dance they do is definitely Thriller-inspired.

The reason they didn't use that recording of Ballerina Ballerina is because all of the instruments in that particular song during the show were played live, so there was no instrumental recording to use. Had there been one like that they probably would have used it and maybe add a couple extra elements to it, but I guess without it they decided to take a different approach for it.

I also really enjoyed the instrumental they used for You Got the Drop, but when it comes to the lyrics I just felt like they tried to fix something that wasn't broken, and wound up making it worse in the process.

My personal favorite recent videos are Furry Tales and Apples and Bananas mostly because they have the most memorable and catchy songs, but Taking Off and Pumpkin Face are good too. I agree the Wiggle House video is just a bunch of random songs put together with no rhyme or reason, but then again so are most older Wiggles videos unless they do have a specific theme so I let it slide.
