Goofs
- In some parts of the original 1998 version, Anthony's skivvy is darker than it usually is so as to not interfere with the bluescreen process.
- Anthony Field's name got removed from the Meet The Wiggles! (1999 DVD extra).
- The Karaoke Songs 1 album booklet shows that John Field's name was in the credits, although he didn't write it. The same thing happened on Wiggly Jukebox, but with Craig Abercrombie's name added.
