Transcript[]
Jeff: (voiceover) Let's have a look at how we've made the Wiggles video, Cold Spaghetti Western. Before we start the film, we have to learn the dances. Our choreography Leanne shows us how to dance and move to the music. She's teaching us the song, We're The Cowboys. We dance in front of mirrors so that we can see if we're dancing the right steps. Hey, it's the Wiggly Dancers. And Paul Paddick.
Paul Paddick: I'm about to do an excellent song, listen to the drummer on the drummer. I'm the coolest drummer you'll ever see. Yeah!
Greg: (singing) Listen to the drummer playing on his
(with The Other Wiggles singing rocking and a rolling drums.)
Jeff: (voiceover) It's time for a new dance. The Master Pasta Maker from Italy. This song gets faster and faster and faster and faster. And it's about pasta and pasta and pasta.
The Wiggles: (singing) He's the master pasta maker of Italy
(in high pitched.) The pasta master makes a master pasta you see
(in normal pitched.) He's the master pasta maker of Italy
The Wiggles: (singing) -faster pasta for me.
Alfonso: (singing, offscreen) Mangiamo si!
Jeff: (voiceover) Here's Nick, the director.
Nicholas Buffalo: Howdy partners, my name is Nick, I'm directing this western, the Wiggly western. We're out here on location, it's fantastic. We've actually had all of this built especially.
Jeff: (voiceover) He can live in direct geese.
Nicholas Buffalo: We're producing a 5. Does that be great? If we have, actually, if you just line up and order a 5, we'll get just over there. If we start with you off over there, that'd be great. Just over there, here's the door. That's it, excellent. And you've got the words down for the next song? Beautiful.
Jeff: (voiceover) Hmm, there seems to be a problem finding someone to play Alfonso the master pasta maker.
Nicholas Buffalo: The guy, the character of Alfonso is a chef. There's no sign of him. Okay, look, I'll try to get onto it and see if I can get... Hang on a sec. Hey, Alfonso. We're going to move a problem here.
Alfonso Rinaldi: Si.
Nicholas Buffalo: We need an Italian chef. The guy called Alfonso, who's playing Alfonso can't make it here. So, he needs a guy called Alfonso. So, do you know anyone? You're a chef.
Alfonso Rinaldi: (He speaks Italian.)
Nicholas Buffalo: Yeah, tell them not to worry about setting up. We've got one. The real one.
Jeff: (voiceover) It's time for a wig and some makeup.
Paul Paddick: With the wig, the wig, Foodman wig, possibly Foodman glasses. Other than that, they just make me look more intelligent.
Jeff: (voiceover) Here's Larissa.
Larissa Wright: And this is my very special makeup mirror. This is the bright lights. My lipstick. My eyeshadow brush. and the makeup artist is lovely just lay in many brushes and such.
Jeff: (voiceover) And here's Maria.
Maria Petrozzi: Hello, I'm Maria. I'm doing the costumes and here's all the costumes we're using for the video. And we got no space.

Anthony: Sure tiring on the old west. how did they sleep with their hats on? Hang on.
Leanne Ashley: They always come on their face.
Anthony: Oh no you can't just come, well maybe go like that.
Jeff: (voiceover) The camera is ready to start shooting and Nick is ready as well.
Nicholas Buffalo: This is the inside of me this is where we've done the rehearsing we've got little bits of wardrobe tweaks and here we go we're gonna shoot it this is it someone should push the record button.
Jeff: (voiceover) And now all the Wiggles are ready to go. Leanne will be there as well to show us what to do.

I bring all the things like Wags' bone, sandwiches, apples, all the fruit and veggies, got tools and things, always have to make up little rigs and do little things to make the Wiggles happy and so the all their props run smoothly just to show you... Wags' bone.

The cameras are all in place ready for action, but Alfonso needs to have his makeup put on first time for final adjustments. Alfonso is ready to go and we're just about ready for first take. And another take. It's a chorus line. Who's this?
