The Wiggles are fast becoming the 2- to 6-year-old crowd's answer to the Fab Four in their native Australia, inciting ants-in-the-pants squirming, squeals of delight, and worshipful sing-alongs all across the nation. With their eponymous TV show, they're poised to widen the Wigglemania. On Let's Wiggle, Anthony Field (the blue-shirted Wiggle), Murray Cook (the red-shirted one), Greg Page (always in yellow), and Jeff Fatt (perennially purple) and their costumed pals Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Henry the Octopus, and Wags the Dog settle in for some serious silliness on such songs as "Fly Through the Air," "I Look in the Mirror," and "Little Brown Ant." Simple musical arrangements and easy-to-grasp themes ("I love it when it rains / And I lie in bed at night / I listen to it patter" is the extent of one lyric) pave the way for attentive listening. The Wiggles also earn a nod in the credibility category: 13 of this album's songs were written by group members (the rest, like "Sing a Song of Polly" and "Bound for South Australia" are traditional songs), and they even handle their own guitars. Overall, despite what sometimes feels like overkill on the Australia angle (lots of kangaroos and kookaburras scamper through these songs), parents would be hard-pressed to find a better bunch of guys for their preschoolers to wiggle with. --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Wiggles, January 20, 2001

By	Cheri Shumaker (Golden, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Let's Wiggle (Audio CD)

These guys simply blow Barney away. My girls (ages 1 and 3) love the music, dance movements, and the lyrics. It is a great alternative to passive videos. You can get your kids up off the couch and "wiggle."

Try this CD outdoors for a Birthday party. Most kids have not heard of them yet but they will instantly love the fun. Even the parents will be up and dancing to the silly songs.

Oh yes, all wives out there can even attempt to listen to this CD in the car with husbands present. My husband has the urge to grind his teeth when forced to listen to the big purple dinosaur. However, he somewhat enjoys the tunes from these dancing dudes.

These guys are great! I hope my girls get the opportunity to see their show live someday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for the kids!!!, June 1, 2001

By	ironflower "ironflower" (New Port Richey, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Let's Wiggle (Audio CD)

A friend of mine asked me if I had heard of the Wiggles. I said, "Huh?". She said her 2 yr. old daughter loved them. I said, "yeah, yeah", we're too into Sesame Street and Buzz Lightyear. Well, at her birthday party, she had one of their video tapes on the vcr. My almost 2 yr. old daughter planted herself in front of the tv, and that was that. Now we have 3 Wiggles videos and 2 of their cd's. We play them at home and in the car. One day I got in my car to go to work, and the Wiggles cd was still in there from the last night's ride to the store with my kids. Well, I wound up leaving the cd in and I listened to it, bouncing in my car. The music is so catchy, the whole household finds themselves humming the tunes at work or school. There are simple hand movements to most of the songs that anyone little one can do. All in all, its mommy who can't wait until the Wiggles come in concert!!! Hey, Capt. Feathersword is pretty cute!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids' favorite music!!, January 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Let's Wiggle (Audio CD)

All 3 of my children (ages 5-8)can't get enough of this music! Not only are the words simple and easily understood by kids, the music makes them dance and sing. I've even found them singing it when the CD isn't playing! Even Pokemon has been replaced as their favorite activity by the Wiggles!!! The lyrics have positive messages every parent can appreciate. I found it by accident, ordered it for fun, and can't wait until I can get more!
