Do the Propeller!

Do the Propeller! (originally known simply as Propeller) is a Wiggles song from Taking Off! and one of the first songs of the current generation. Jeff co-wrote the song and cameos in the music video in a shot with Anthony playing the drums. It is one of the most popular songs of the new generation Wiggles.

Song Lyrics

Do the propeller
Do the propeller
Do the propeller around and around

Do the propeller
Do the propeller
Do the propeller around and around

We're going up and up and up and up
We're going down and down and down and down
We're going up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
And then we stop
Ahhhhhhhh!

Do the propeller
Do the propeller
Do the propeller around and around

Do the propeller
Do the propeller
Do the propeller around and around

We're going up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
We're down da-da down down da down down down
We're going up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
And then we stop
Oh!
Ahhhhhhh, whoo!

Do the propeller
Do the propeller
Do the propeller around and around

Do the propeller
Do the propeller
Do the propeller around and around

Statue
Statue
Statue
Propeller

Trivia

When this song was first shown in live theaters, websites such as Wiggle Time TV and the bonus feature of the 2012 video "Celebration" as a sneak preview from June to December 2012, the Wiggles didn't say "Statue, statue, statue, propeller!" at the end. It also used a different music track and the very last shot of the Wiggles on the double-decker bus. It was also shown 5 days before "Surfer Jeff" was released on DVD, June 16th 2012. One of the preview versions shows The Wiggles Logo with background music from "Get Ready To Wiggle" at the beginning just before the song starts.
The Taking Off! version of the music video was uploaded on The Wiggles' YouTube channel on January 28th 2013, the Australia Day live in concert version was uploaded on July 23rd 2014, the Nursery Rhymes version was uploaded on May 15th 2017, and the Dance, Dance! version was uploaded on January 4th 2018.
