Ukulele Baby! is the thirty-sixth Wiggles video special. It was filmed in 2010 and released in 2011.
Overview[]
The Wiggles have set sail on a new adventure with the sweet sound of ukuleles and palm trees in the distance. Set on an island near Wiggle Bay, The Wiggles have launched twenty-one new songs and paddled into a harbour of hits including 'You Can Play the Ukulele', 'Hawaiian Boogie', and 'Hula, Hula Baby'. There's a band on the island: Peter from Mental as Anything on mandolin, Nicolino on the accordion, George on bouzouki and Murray joins them on the ukulele. Of course, The Wiggles sing about things children love in the songs 'When I'm Painting', 'My Curly Sue Doll' and 'Everybody Loves a Puppy'. There are songs about dancing such as 'Round and Round, Round and Round' and 'Henry's Spinning', and then the usual Wiggle fun in 'Cluck, Cluck City' and 'How Many You Want?' Together with songs about The Wiggles characters, Ukulele Baby! will surely be a family favourite!
