Wiggle Time! is the Wiggles' 11th album. It was first released in North America on October 2, 1999 under the title Let's Wiggle and didn't get released in Australia until the following year on August 30, 2000. The two versions have slightly different track listings.
Titled after the video of the same name, it is essentially a re-release of Here Comes a Song, although it omits some tracks. It also adds new recordings of songs from the debut album, however the original 1992 recordings of Henry the Octopus, Whenever I Hear This Music and Dorothy's Birthday Party are used in the Australian version.

Goofs[]
- The North American version's personnel credits only apply to the 1998 re-recordings of songs, not any of the 1992 recordings and the writing credits were copied straight from The Wiggles' debut album and Here Comes a Song.
- On the North American cassette, Anthony Field was credited for Dorothy the Dinosaur and Dorothy's Birthday Party.
- On the North American CD and cassette, Madden was credited for Music in Silver Bells That Ring In The Night though he wrote the lyrics.
- Jeff Fatt is uncredited for playing the keyboards on the US release, while Paul Paddick and Kevin Bennett are not credited for their vocals on the US Release.
- The original US release does not use the writing credits that were in use for Get Ready To Wiggle at the time of it's release. When the album was re-released in the US in 2003, The writing credits for the rest of the songs were never updated to the writing credits that may have been in use at the time of it's re-release.
