Trivia

• This is the first album The Wiggles released after their year of absence from ABC Music (1999). The last album they released was Toot Toot! in 1998. Due to this, they were busy recording and filming content and touring around Australia, and started touring overseas at the time to become popular.
• The song In The Wiggles' World, which was the theme song for The Wiggles (TV Series 2) the previous year, makes its album debut here.
• Likewise, this is the first album to have the theme song for a TV Series
• Here Come The Wiggles, Taba Naba, Sing With Me, Six Months In A Leaky Boat & Blow Me Down were previously sung in The Wiggly Big Show Tour in 1999. (Here Come The Wiggles was also sung at that year's Carols in the Domain)
• A shorten version of Here Come The Wiggles would later be used as the theme for The Wiggles Show! (TV Series).
• John O'Grady debuts in this Wiggles album on double bass.
• Six Months In A Leaky Boat (Wiggly Version) focuses on Captain Feathersword.
• In North America, the HIT Entertainment/Koch Records release has the spoken intro tracks combined with their corresponding songs, resulting in 16 total tracks rather than 24. The original HIT Entertainment release has the same 24 tracks as the Australian version, although the spoken tracks aren't listed anywhere on the cover or disc art.
• This album may have been recorded in either late 1998-mid-late 1999
  • As a situation, In The Wiggles' World was recorded in late 1998, and the rest of the album may have been recorded throughout the following year.
• This is the only album where Rick Price provides the backing vocals.
• This is also the first Wiggles album to be released in the new millennium.
• Paul Field debuts this album on backing vocals.
• Carolyn Ferrie and Paul Paddick are only credited for the vocals in the US release.
• This is the first album in Australia to have John Field's name credited after Greg's.
• This is the first album in Australia to have Dominic Lindsay's name credited after Greg's.
• This is the last album to be engineered by Tony Douglass.
• This is the first album to be recorded at Albert Studios.
• This was nominated for the 2000 ARIA Music Award for Best Children's Album, but lost to Jump & Jive With Hi-5.
• When the album was re-released to digital platforms as part of the Classic Wiggles series, Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport and its introduction were removed due to controversies surrounding Rolf Harris in recent years. The song was also removed from Celebration! (AKA The Celebration Tour!).
• Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt & Anthony Field are uncredited for the vocals, although they are for the backing vocals.
• This is the first album to be released in the 21st century

Goofs

• Jeff Fatt is not credited for playing keyboards for this album.
• Paul Paddick is incorrectly listed as "Paul Padick" in the US release.
• In the song credits for Another Cuppa in the US version, John Edward and Susan Edward was credited as John Edwards and Susan Edwards.
• In the US version, Don Bartley's credit says Mixed instead of Mastered.
• On the Spotify version of the Australian 2000 release, Greg Page wasn't credited for In The Wiggles' World, Anthony Field wasn't credited for Here Come The Wiggles and Blow Me Down and Jeff Fatt wasn't credited for Let's Go (We're Riding In The Big Red Car).
• Greg Truman's name is missing in the song credits of Blow Me Down in the Australian booklet.
• Dominic Lindsay's name is missing in the song credits for Here Come The Wiggles in the Australian booklet. It was believed that the song credits for that song in the original Australian album release were the original song credits but it was later confirmed by Dominic Lindsay in a interview with WigglesEnthusiasts on YouTube that the song was written by him.
