Editorial Reviews :
Finally, a boy band with some substance: Australia's Wiggles, a four-bloke outfit complete with an entourage of costumed characters, several videos, and their own TV show, ought to have no problem worming their way into the CD collections of 2- to 6-year-olds. Yummy Yummy, a 24-track album brimming with danceable, singable, and sometimes nonsensical songs, is largely about food, numbers, and animals. Most appealing about the group--Greg Page (lead vocalist and the Wiggle in yellow), Murray Cook (guitarist and red-shirted Wiggle), Anthony Field (another guitarist, but in blue), and Jeff Fatt (a purple-skivvied backing vocalist)--is its unabashed goofiness and pluck. In 'Shake Your Sillies Out,' for example, you get the feeling that, in a studio somewhere, these guys actually are shaking their sillies out, nodding their naughties out, clapping their crazies out, jumping their jiggles out, and wibbling their wobbles away. 'Fruit Salad,' 'Hot Potato,' and 'Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes' also are recipes for fun. But not to worry--'The Monkey Dance,' 'Walk,' and 'Come On Let's Jump' eliminate the threat of food-induced listener lethargy. Aside from the songs themselves, another yummy-yummy aspect of this album (and their Let's Wiggle) is its track lengths. While the 'Numbers Joke' lasts only 11 seconds, the instrumental 'The Chase,' the record's longest number, weighs in at 4 minutes--no demands are being made on short attention spans here.
Buyer Reviews :
The most notable aspect of The Wiggles is their talent for writing songs. The singing is good, the songs are performed well, and the tunes are catchy. Although the songs tend to stick in your head relentlessly, they are actually musically good enough that they aren't going to drive you as insane as say, Barney. Still, be prepared to wake up at three in the morning with the Yummy Yummy theme song going through your head.
This video has one song which is pretty annoying, because they altered the voices to be high-pitch and the music is sort of a techno-dance theme. Plus, they use puppets of the Wiggles to perform this piece, against a backdrop of psychadelic patterns. It's pretty annoying, but the rest of the video is fine. Of course, my two-year-old loves the annoying part anyway.
My two-year-old loves the music and dancing. My six-month-old loves to watch the funny faces and interesting characters in the videos.
