"Taba Naba" (also known as "Taba Naba Style!") is a song from the It's a Wiggly Wiggly World! album and video. Christine Anu guest stars on the original recording, but an alternate recording with just Greg singing lead was heard in TV Series 3. Christine would later return as a guest star on the song with the Emma lineup on the Wiggle Town! album and video. The title is a Meriam Mir phrase which loosely translates to "let's go down to the reef and have a good time."
