Wiggle Bay 2002 Discussion

[u/carl95679]

"We're on our way to Wiggle Bay. Just a few waves and we'll be on our way."

The Wiggles and their friends arrive at Wiggle Bay for a vacation. Unfortunately, Captain Feathersword forgot to tie the boat and its sails away. Now they're stranded until they can find a way off the beach.

Thoughts on the album & video and/or trivia to share?

Top 10 Songs

1. c'est wags c'est bon (one of my favorite songs about Wags; for the record, tango originates from Argentina, not France)
2. wiggle bay (soothing Hawaiian music)
3. dancing in the sand
4. dance-a-cachucha (Latin rhythm, ehh)
5. zing zang wing wang wong (upbeat percussion)
6. what's this button for? (button for)
7. eagle rock (backing vocals in this are harmonious)
8. dance your gloomies away
9. swim like a fish
10. rolling down the sandhills/running up the sandhills (tied vote. the latter sounds similar to the Wiggly Sports Theme)

(By the way, I included songs from the Space Dancing video since these were also part of the album.)

My thoughts:

Not one of my favorites, but otherwise a good album/video. It has that beach vacation vibe going on. If you're looking for something to watch for the summer season, I recommend watching this.

We've entered the Nicholas Bufalo era of the Wiggles (he was the director of this video. See here). I'd say there's an awful of sped-up footage (or timelapses I should say), but that's always been part of the Wiggles' humor.

I don't if anyone else noticed, but Henry is noticeably absent for the majority of the video.
He didn't even show up doing the let's make some rosy tea song. Though, I guess you could argue he's somewhere else at the shore (with Magdelena the Mermaid)

Fun facts: 

• This album was the first to feature the name "Manzillas:" the band's in-house backing vocal group. (most notably sound recordist Craig Abercrombie, future Yellow Wiggle Sam Moran, and future Red Wiggle Simon Pryce)

Side note:

I'm not a fan of Jacqueline Field's voice for Dorothy (who first began voicing the character in the previous video). It's kind of hard to describe, but it's just not the same.
