Overview[]
Get ready to Wiggle to 30 years of Wiggly music and fun! Fans of The OG Wiggles (The 'Original Guys'), will love reliving the soothing voice of Greg, scintillating guitar breaks from Murray, Jeff's keyboard wizardry, and Anthony's commentary "What's Next Greg?" alongside their good friends; Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus. The OGs started 'cradle rock', sold out Madison Square Garden 12 times and have created classics for children around the world! A few years later, Sam started Wiggling and the band kept rocking!

Trivia[]
- This video celebrates The Wiggles 30th anniversary.
- This is the first video to release in 2021.
- Unlike the 2010 and 2014 versions of Hot Potatoes! The Best of The Wiggles, The Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on His Pirate Ship (Quack Quack) music video is sourced from Wiggle Time! (1998) in this video.
- "Lachy!" and "Emma's Theme" are montages of clips from Lachy! and series 1 and 2 of Emma! in this video, unlike in The Best of The Wiggles.
- The version of "Do the Propeller!" is the same version as the one in The Best of The Wiggles with the added vocals at the end.
- This is the fourth compilation video.
- This is the second all line-ups compilation video after the 2014 version of Hot Potatoes! The Best of The Wiggles.
- In "We're All Fruit Salad!", footage of Fruit Salad is used from Wiggle Time! and Yummy Yummy.
- The song title cards are the same ones used in The Wiggles' YouTube channel, though they also mention the original video title and release year while Wiggle Time!, Toot Toot! (save "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car") and Yule Be Wiggling use their original song title cards due to them refering to the final edits of those video releases for the music videos.
- In the opening, clips from Apples & Bananas, It's a Wiggly Wiggly World!, Nursery Rhymes, Big Red Car, Pop Go The Wiggles!, Toot Toot!, Dance Dance!, Here Comes The Big Red Car, Racing to the Rainbow, Wiggle Time!, Party Time!, Wake Up Jeff!, Santa's Rockin'!, Fun and Games, It's Time to Wake Up Jeff!, Hot Poppin' Popcorn, Yummy Yummy, Go Santa Go!, Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!, Rock & Roll Preschool, Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas, Let's Eat!, Wiggle Bay and It's Always Christmas With You! are seen.
- This is the first (and only) video to use the Fruit Salad borders.
- This is the only video where two versions of a song are used. The instrumental version of "Hot Potato" plays in the intro and in the credits and the version from Yummy Yummy is also used. Also, "Rock-A-Bye Your Bear" has the Wiggle Time! version, and the version used in the credits is The Wiggles Movie version.
- In the end credits, Sam Moran isn't credited in the "Starring The Wiggles" section, only because it credits people who were in the We're All Fruit Salad! music video.
- Revised credits are used for Get Ready To Wiggle (adding Anthony Field's name), Rock-A-Bye Your Bear (adding Murray Cook and Jeff Fatt's names) and Dorothy the Dinosaur (adding Jeff Fatt, Anthony Field and Greg Page's name).
- This is the last video to have Antonio Field.
- Sam appeared in 2 songs, the OGs appeared in 16 songs, and the New Gen appeared in 22 songs.
- Anthony is the only Wiggle to appear in all 40 songs.
Goofs[]
- The song title for "Can You (Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist?)" is listed as from Yummy Yummy instead of Big Red Car.
- The song title for "Romp Bomp A Stomp" is listed as from 1997 instead of 1996.
- The song title for "Follow The Leader" has the OG Wiggles logo instead of the logo currently used in The Wiggles' YouTube compilation videos for music videos from the Sam era.
- "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car" is credited to the 1998 version of Toot Toot!, when it is from the 1999 version.
- The masters The Wiggles currently use for Wiggle Bay and Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins! are in a 14:9 ("halfway widescreen") aspect ratio. This itself is not a goof (assuming they no longer have access to the original 16:9 masters), but while "Anthony's Workshop" is presented correctly (albeit slightly squished), "Wiggle Bay" is covered up by the 4:3 version of the border.
