 My boys can't stop dancing!! August 3, 2008

My boys and I love this video. We also purchased "Pop go the Wiggles" this summer, which is cute, but not as much fun as this one. As much as I've said I'm sick of the Wiggles (we're going on 3 years of listening to them!!), I must say I find myself dancing to this one with my 3 and 5 year old boys. It's a lot of fun.
 Good DVD. Unfortunately the handwriting is on the wall for the boys from Down Under. August 12, 2008

Both of my boys have loved the Wiggles for the past few years. They are very talented songwriters and singers. I personally think that Sam sings better than Greg ever did -- you know, it's become the whole Sammy Hagar vs. David Lee Roth thing for the preschool set. Unfortunately, I think their popularity in the states is waning. This has everything to do with Playhouse Disney. When our oldest boy was born in 2003, the Wiggles were on practically all morning. Disney realized they were missing out on merchandising and began to create more and more shows of their own with their own sets of toys and clothes tie-ins. The means that the Wiggles have been banished to 6 a.m. (Central time) and they are not seen as often. Even then, Disney only shows older shows that still have Greg, so it is very confusing for preschoolers to see Sam on the videos now. Now Disney has given the Imagination Movers their own show and I suspect they will phase out the Wiggles almost entirely. Too bad. Their show is pretty fun.
Now to the video. It is very colorful and well produced and the Beatles outfits and wigs cracked me up. If you can get past a very scary looking aged Leo Sayer doing his best falsetto on the first song, then your children will most likely enjoy this DVD.

If this review was from my child, it would be a different story. But since she does not have a computer or typing skills...because she's 2...I get to write the review. I think this DVD starts off very strong. We love the first 4 or 5 songs and sing them often. The guys seem to be having a good time. The songs are easy to learn both the words and the dance moves to (for the most part). "Shimmy Shake", a Beatle's homage, is such a fun song we all get up and dance to it. My daughter loves "Dr. Knickerbocker" which I also find very catchy. There are some good versions of classic songs like "You make me feel like Dancing" (with a cameo by Leo Sayer) and "Day-O (Banana Boat song)".
Unfortunately, the DVD loses its great rhythm after that. There is a walz section that has no singing that few children will dance or sit through, and the guys sing La Bamba so fast no child (unless Spanish) could ever pick up the beat or try to learn any of the words. Some of the non-singing skits are too long. We only watch the first few songs, then purposefully distract the child and turn it off because we, the parents, can't stand watching the rest of it.
Back to my daughter's perspective: She loves it! She really gets into dancing to the music and listening to the Wiggles fun accent. So, my review is partially based on her opinion. I would give this a 2; she'd give it a 5. I tried to split the difference.
With these facts in mind, as a parent, I would ask myself what the point of buying this DVD is: If you want something you can enjoy with your child, this probably isn't the one for you, unless you are ok with gritting your teeth through 1/2 the DVD. If you want a DVD to keep your child busy while you get stuff done around the house, by all means, buy it.
My favorite Wiggles to date! August 7, 2008

We just got this DVD yesterday and my almost 2 year old and 4.5 year old love it. They have been dancing and singing all day. I hate to admit this but I used it as a babysitter this AM while I cleaned and didn't even feel bad because they were laughing and dancing the whole time and made me repeat "One Finger, One Thumb" 3 times! I even find myself singing the songs. My main reason for buying the CD was because we are seeing the Wiggles live tomorrow and wanted to get the kids used to the new yellow Wiggle Sam since he is in the show. Although it is strange to see Sam instead of Greg he does a great job and my kids really like him. I never review things but felt this was worth it and I highly recommend it.
Made My Kids Do a Jig.... October 22, 2008

The Wiggles have come out with a new DVD that you can add to your Wiggles collection. The new DVD is called, "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," and is... you guessed it! Full of dance music!
The music is inspired by a variety of time periods and has lots of kid's favorites (Dr. Knickerbocker, Old Dan Tucker) and dance music that the parents might be able to appreciate (You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, La Bamba, Day-o) which is a great balance between the two. This is not your typical Wiggles-fare and the Wiggles even get into costumes and have cartoon type sets for each of the songs. There are twenty new songs on this DVD, which will be included in their next tour(with the new-to-me Sam Wiggle).
What do my kids think though? Well, my children aren't very big Wiggles fans and haven't watched this show in a long time, but they absolutely love this DVD of dance music. They both dance and sing along to all of the songs and it has given us a chance to show them some of the original songs on You Tube (original=Muppets versions) which has been really great for all of us.
