Trivia
The working titles for Say Aah at the Doctors , Lettuce Sing (Fresh Fruit And Veggies) and Open Wide Look Inside At The Dentist are "The Doctors", "Let Us Sing" and "The Dentists".
The name of this album could possibly be a reference to the show, "Top of the Pops". Another convincing thing would be in the video and how it's styled.
This album contains a bonus video clip of Let's Go Swimming .
In the US version of the album's back cover, Lettuce Sing (Fresh Fruit And Veggies) is titled as "Lettuce Sing (Fresh Fruit and Veggies)".
In the US release, the spoken tracks are heard at the beginning of each song.
There are more pictures in the US booklet than the Australian booklet.
Walking On The Moon is the only song to never appeared in a video until It's Time to Wake Up Jeff! .
The 2003 AU release of the disc is yellow whereas the US one is blue.
This was nominated for the 2004 ARIA Music Award for Best Children's Album, but lost to Hi-5 Holiday .
Murray Cook , Jeff Fatt & Anthony Field are uncredited for the vocals.
The Wiggles wrote most of the songs with their early childhood knowledge they got from Macquarie University over 13 years earlier.
Likewise, this was The Wiggles' most educational album they ever made
This is the first album to feature Robin Gist on guitar.
The 4:3 music video of Let's Go Swimming was stretched from 4:3 to 16:9.
The ABC Kids Logo was shown on the cassette tape.
This album was released after the Lights, Camera, Action, Show! was performed in Perth.
Goofs
In the UK release, Murray Cook is not credited for the bass whereas Jeff Fatt is not credited for the keyboards.
On the Australian disc where it says 'Marketed and distributed in Australasia', the 'and distributed' has no space between it.
The introduction to Bow Wow Wow (Introduction To Bow Wow Wow) Anthony says 'and I'm Anthony!' the end of 'Anthony' is slightly cut off.
