Trivia

• This is the first album to feature song lyrics listed in the booklet.
• This is the first album to feature Peter Mackie on guitar.
• This is the only album where Jane Bezzina and Rosemary Richardson provides the backing vocals.
• This is the first album to feature Dorothy the Dinosaur & Henry the Octopus.
• This was the first time The Wiggles appeared in their coloured skivvies.
• This was the first album that Greg was credited as Greg Page.
• This was the first album to be produced by Murray, Jeff and Greg.
• Phillip Wilcher, who left shortly after the release of the band's first album from 1991, was supposed to stay as a behind-the-scenes writer for this album, but was apparently told by Anthony at a Neil Diamond concert that the album had been recorded while Phillip was away, and was not needed.
• Many of the tracks were used in The Wiggles' first video, Wiggle Time!, and its remake. A majority of the album was re-released on the 2000 Wiggle Time! album (named after the video), and its American 1999 counterpart called, "Let's Wiggle".
• Dorothy's Birthday Party, Henry the Octopus and Whenever I Hear This Music were later re-recorded in 1997 during the Toot Toot! sessions.
• The front cover shows a hand-drawn version of Dorothy the Dinosaur.
• The Wiggles had a deadline to record the album and they were at a recording studio in Cremorne, on Sydney's lower north shore.
• On the credit for Rosemary Richardson, A Family Song was listed as The Family Song.
• Some songs on this album would later be re-recorded for the Dorothy the Dinosaur series and the current generation of The Wiggles, such as The Gypsy Rover on Lachy! and The Lion and the Unicorn in Nursery Rhymes 2.
• In June 1991, Phillip Wilcher recorded two lullaby tracks alongside a young violinist which were intended for the album. Anthony was also confirmed to have been present for this session. However these tracks never saw the light of day, but ended up resurfacing when Phillip himself uploaded both of the lullabies to his YouTube channel on March 11, 2009. This could mean that the album was planned to have 35 tracks instead of 33.
• The barking for the song Daniel and Molly is the barking used for Wags the Dog.

Goofs

• On the credit for Jeff Fatt, Accordion was misspelled as Accordian.
• On the credit for Anthony Field, Didgeridoo was misspelled as Digeridoo.
