Trivia[]
- This was the final album to have Anthony Field provide partial vocals for Captain Feathersword (discounting his prior vocals for the character that were reused on Here Comes The Big Red Car and It's Time to Wake Up Jeff!).
- Elisha Burke provided the uncredited voice of Dorothy the Dinosaur on the album.
- This was the first album to feature Mark Punch as a backing vocalist.
- "Rocket" and "Wah Hoo Hey, I'm Combing My Hair Today" were the only songs on the album to not appear in the tie-in video special.
- "Bathtime" and "Silver Bells That Ring In The Night" were removed from the North American releases of the album, but later added back when the album was re-released to digital music streaming services in the region.
- This was the first album to feature Dominic Lindsay as a songwriter and music arranger.
- This was the first album to be mastered by Don Bartley since the self-titled debut.
Mistakes and Errors[]
- Jeff Fatt was not credited for playing the keyboards, piano, or accordion.
- In the liner notes of the original 1998 Australian release:
- John Field's name was removed from the song credits of "Look Both Ways", "Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!", and "Do the Wiggle Groove".
- Alfonso Rinaldi's last name was misspelled as "Renaldo".
- In the liner notes for the 1999 Australian re-release, as well as the North American release, Rinaldi's last name was misspelled again as "Renaldi".
- In the liner notes of the 2003 North American release:
- "Jeff Field" was credited on "Look Both Ways", "Food Food Food (Oh How I Love My Food)", "Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!" and "Do the Wiggle Groove" instead of John Field. The error was more likely a conflation of the names (Jeff) Fatt and John (Field).
- Greg Page was not credited for writing "Henry the Octopus".
- The original North American back cover erroneously stated "first published in Australia in 1996" even though the album was actually released in 1998. Presumably this information was copied over from Wake Up Jeff!, which was released in America around the same time. The 2003 cover stated, "First published in 2002 in Australia" as all re-releases from Koch did, as they copied information over from Wiggle Bay.
