Trivia
- This is the first time since It's a Wiggly Wiggly World! that The Wagettes appear.
- The Wiggles' custom Cowboy costumes, later used for Cold Spaghetti Western, are seen for the first time.
- The Australian and US versions of the DVD contain a behind the scenes featurette of Cold Spaghetti Western.
- Because Cold Spaghetti Western was never released in the UK, the UK version of the DVD had two episodes of Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles! in its place.
- Anthony's cousin Greg Truman is seen in "Central Park New York". His mum Marie is also seen in "Picking Flowers".
- The songs on the back of the US cover are listed in a seemingly random order.
- All the songs from this video were later seen in The Wiggles Show! (TV Series).
- This video is dedicated to the memory of Greg's mother-in-law, Jane Hill, and Slim Dusty. Before the dedication cards and after the end credits, the video shows a post credits scene where best boy electrician Matt Russell writes something on his clapper and holds it up the clapper says "That's a Wrap".
- This video was released in full screen, but widescreen versions of the songs can be found on TV Series 4.
- The studio scenes we're shot in widescreen but the other footage we're shot in fullscreen.
- The promo picture on the US cover is photoshopped. Greg, Murray, and Anthony's heads are pasted on from pictures taken earlier before the video, and Jeff and his accordion are also pasted on, possibly without his head being photoshopped.
- The 1992-2009 ABC For Kids Logo is used after the rating instead of the ABC DVD Logo. The same happened with Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!.
- The screener VHS has no previews at the end whatsoever.
- During the "Fly Through The Sky" performance, Greg and Murray use Nintendo GameCube controllers.
- Despite Greg saying that all the shops are closed during the "Calling All Cows" prologue scene, it is still daytime.
- Some footage that's seen during the end credits was aspect ratio to 4:3.
- Transitions in some songs, as it transitions to the next scene you can see it's original widescreen footage.
