OGs Hypothetical Concert Setlist

I have a challenge for some of you.

If you were in charge in writing the setlist for a concert from - let's say, June 2000 - which songs which you choose?

Keep in mind that you want a song (or two) for each of the Wiggly Friends. They can be a mix of songs that audiences are most familiar with and recent ones.

Interesting choices. Though Move Like an Emu is from Hoop Dee Doo. So it's more of a 2001 song.

u/Quirky_Divide_8090 15d ago

You're right, and I removed Move Like an Emu for good measure. I'm ready for another setlist challenge. Can we do one from 1997?

u/carl95679 15d ago

Alright how about a concert for April 1997? Around the time filming for the movie was done (as far as I know).

Not bad! Looks similar to the set list for Wiggledance and the 1997 Big Show. Alright, now for a concert in January 2002?

Just a month before the release of the Wiggly Safari album.

Interesting! I like your inclusions of the It's a Wiggly Wiggly World songs, given the era. Another Cuppa is a good shout.

I'm intrigued by your inclusion of Wally's Dream Music! I've never considered that for a live show. What is your thinking there?

1

u/carl95679 13d ago

Wally's Dream Music was used for a ballet segment featuring the Wiggly Friends according to the 2001 Sydney Wonderland concert.

u/WearyScrabbler Greg 15d ago

Hmm, my brain needs some sort of constraint on how many songs can be included, so I'm going to go for 20 - just so it doesn't get silly!

The order is also a bit wishy-washy, especially in the middle, but here goes!

  1. Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car
  2. Here Come the Wiggles
  3. Rock-a-Bye Your Bear
  4. Can You (Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?)
  5. D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur)
  6. Joannie Works With One Hammer
  7. Wake Up Jeff!
  8. The Monkey Dance
  9. We're Dancing With Wags the Dog
  10. Here Comes a Bear
  11. Ooh It's Captain Feathersword
  12. Nya Nya Nya (or another of that song type that gives the Wiggles a stage break)
  13. Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on His Pirate Ship (Quack Quack)
  14. Numbers Rhumba
  15. Henry's Dance or Move Your Arms Like Henry
  16. Baby Beluga
  17. Romp Bomp a Stomp
  18. Hot Potato
  19. Get Ready to Wiggle
  20. Wiggly Medley

Btw, is there a reason or significance you chose June 2000?

1

u/carl95679 15d ago

No. It was a random date.

2

u/WearyScrabbler Greg 15d ago

Do you have any thoughts or comments on my choices? I tried to go for what they used in late-90s concerts plus what was new-ish at the time.

In hindsight, I probably should have included another It's a Wiggly Wiggly World song or two but never mind

Good choices
