Trivia[]
- This was the first album to feature:
- Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt & Anthony Field as lead vocalists since Big Red Car, and the last album to do so until Racing to the Rainbow.
- Brett Clarke as a backing vocalist and guitarist Colin Watson as a musician.
- Dominic Lindsay as a pianist.
- Violist Angela Lindsay as a musician since The Wiggles Movie Soundtrack.
- All the songs on the album were played twice, once with and once without the spoken introductions (with the exceptions of "Maranoa Lullaby", "October Winds", and "John O' Dreams (Irish Lullaby)", which were only played once.)
- Even though the album was never made into a video special, some of its songs were later reused in other Wiggles media, mostly as background music played in some of the electronic storybooks (such as How Wags Almost Missed The Show and Jeff and the Lumpy Mattress) and on the first series of the Emma! television show.
- "Go To Sleep Jeff (Brahms' Lullaby)" and "Take a Trip Out on the Sea" were also filmed and released as bonus music videos on the Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins! video and A Wiggly Postcard from Asia.
- "Lullaby Overture" was also later reused on the Wiggle House album (albeit split into three separate tracks).
- The album was nominated for the 2003 ARIA Award for Best Children's Album but lost to Hi-5's Celebrate.
Mistakes and Errors[]
- Tony Henry and Anthony Field are respectively credited for playing the drums and tin whistle, despite neither of these instruments actually being used on any of the songs.
- In the booklet for the 2012 re-release of the CD, the Greek lyrics for "Aspri Mera Key Ya Mas (Greek Lullaby)" are written as random characters for unknown reasons.
