Trivia[]
- The version of Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport in this episode is a slighty different version than the one that appears on It's a Wiggly Wiggly World! and it's video. The version used here features Anthony doing Rolf Harris's parts
- The 2023 Youtube version has Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport removed due to Rolf Harris and the misconduct controversy surrounding him. It would be replaced by Move Like an Emu, although the song was part of the original episode as the second song
- This episode is the only appearence of Zookeeper Sam
- Do The Owl and We're The Crocodile Band make their debut in this episode as they we're recorded around this time. The version of Do The Owl doesn't include Steve and Terri Irwin's vocals as they weren't recorded yet but include Dorothy and Zookeeper Sam as temporary placements

Greg: (singing while the back vocals repeating their song lyrics.) Little Brown Ant

Making your nest in my backyard
You got two antennas
on your little brown head
How many legs you got?
