It's the Wiggles' world, we just twist and shake in it. Which means that these kids-video kings from Down Under -- Greg, Murray, Anthony, and Jeff -- have truly struck a chord globally. This latest musical video jamboree offers 16 sing-along and dance-along segments from their phenomenally popular Australian TV series and features a few special guests that even American parents will recognize: Troubadour Slim Dusty and Tim Finn of Crowded House. (Okay, at least parents with some affection for Aussie pop will recognize them.) Costumed characters Wags the Dog, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, and friendly pirate Captain Feathersword add to the fun. Part of the reason why the Wiggles have enjoyed success Stateside is that they forego the usual nursery rhyme repertoire to sing original and traditional Aussie songs that engage the imagination. So get out your "wobble boards" for a round of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport," "Taba Naba," "Haru Ga Kita," and other homegrown tunes that make the Wiggles' world a welcome place indeed.
