If the songs on Wake Up Jeff! don't rouse the pooped, purple-shirted Wiggle, nothing will. As kooky a Wiggles affair as ever, this CD boasts the boisterous sounds of "Henry's Underwater Big Band," on which a jellyfish drums, a walrus hums, and an electric eel plugs in; a lot of splishing and splashing on "Swim, Swim, Swim" and "Having Fun at the Beach"; and "Romp Bomp a Stomp" and "Bing Bang Bong," both as rollicking as they sound. Besides the sleepyhead-stirring songs, though, there's a handful of old favorites (the traditional, tongue-twisting "Bucket of Dew/Paddy Condon from Cobar," plus "A Frog Went a Walking," "Five Little Ducks," and "Pipers Waltz") and two original tunes whose lyrics demand a careful listen: "Guess What" quizzes kids with questions like "What's really cool and keeps things very cold?/It's white and it's where your food can live" and then "What's really soft and very warm too?/It's got a place to lay your head." Musically, this disc (like all the others by this group of goofball Aussies) traffics heavily in grooviness. Think of the Wiggles as the Monkees for munchkins. Fans of the foursome who caught the companion video and loved it should take a shining to this CD for its addition of 12 new tracks. For that matter, so should anybody who's under 5 and predisposed to wiggling. --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Wiggles CD yet!, May 24, 2001

By	Heather Walton (Chico, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wake up Jeff! (Audio CD)

I love this CD and so does my 9-month-old baby Sara. We have them all, as well as all the videos, but this one has the catchiest beat and my baby claps and "wiggles" to every song. She can't walk or crawl yet, but when this CD comes on, she sits up and stomps her legs and claps her hands to the beat! All these songs tend to stick in my head though, as I sing them over and over to myself. I thought "Let's Wiggle" was the best album, but now I think this one is. The songs are simple, fun and so perky. If you are feeling blue these songs will snap you right out of that mood and make you smile and sing. We love The Wiggles! I've tried other "kids" albums and they stink compared to the Wiggles! This album has a summer beach feel to it. The song, "Having fun at the beach" sums up the whole albums flavor. It makes you want to pack up the car and head out to the beach! I give this CD a perfect score, and the Video is suburb as well. It's the only album/video that has all the same songs in both. Buy it now you will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Wigglicious, June 20, 2002

By	Kyle (Kenosha, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wake up Jeff! (Audio CD)

What can we say??? Our thirteen year old and our seventeen year old can't get enough of these wickedly wonderful wiggly tunes. If only all dinosaurs could be as nice as Dorothy, all dogs as waggly wonderful as Wags, and all Captains' as considerate as Captain Featherswood, the world would be a better place for all of us. So rock on Wiggly, we'll never outgrow you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous for Car Trips, March 18, 2002

By	Deanna Hockey (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wake up Jeff! (Audio CD)

If you have ever seen a Wiggles video you know that these guys have a lot of fun doing what they do - entertaining kids by singing catchy songs and dancing some pretty groovy dance moves.

None of their enthusiasm for their music or entertaining is lost on a cd. My girls (13 months and 2.5 years) love the Wiggles and I often put on a cd in the lounge room while they were playing for background music. They play in time to the music.

But the best place of all for a Wiggles CD is in your car! If you have cranky kids who just don't want to be in their carseats - stick this cd (or make a tape of it) on and your kids will be singing along in no time. And so will you - the songs are so catchy. And my girls have proved that many of the dance moves can be done while strapped in a car seat (they remember them from the video!).

Try it - you're kids will love it.
