00:00Hi, we're the Wiggles.
00:05I'm Anthony.
00:06I'm Murray.
00:07I'm Greg.
00:08I'm Geoff.
00:09And we want to thank you for buying the newspaper, everybody,
00:11and for helping us celebrate 15 wiggly years together.
00:14We hope you enjoy watching this exclusive DVD
00:17as much as we enjoyed making it for you.
00:19Everybody, it's time to celebrate in wiggly fashion.
00:22Hip, hip, hooray!
00:27Hi, everyone.
00:29I'm Dorothy the Dinosaur.
00:31This year's a wiggly birthday
00:33and you're all invited to join the celebration.
00:37My friends the Wiggles have been making music for over 15 years.
00:42Anthony, Murray and Greg studied early childhood education
00:46at Sydney's Macquarie University.
00:49They would get together with their friends to busk.
00:52Busking means singing in the streets.
00:56The Wiggles didn't yet have their coloured shirts at this stage,
01:00but they were already making great music.
01:02They asked their friend Geoff to join them recording their first album,
01:06The Wiggles, in 1991 with the ABC.
01:10The Wiggles' first live shows were at preschools, expos, parks, shopping centres, and theatres,
01:23and anywhere outdoors.
01:25Ooh, that's a photo of me when I was young, with my lovely white gloves.
01:31Here's a photo of The Wiggles' first live TV performance, helping to promote Red Nose Day in August of 1991.
01:39The Wiggles' first full-length video release was called Wiggle Time
01:44and included one of my favourite songs, Rockabye Your Bear.
01:49So everybody clap and everybody sing with the original video of Rockabye Your Bear.
01:55We're having a teddy bear's picnic.
01:58Everybody's brought their favourite bear along.
02:00Perhaps you could have a teddy bear's picnic at home.
02:03I know a song about teddy bears.
02:05Can you sing and do the actions with us?
02:07Here we go.
02:16Everybody clap.
02:18Everybody sing.
02:22La la la la la la.
02:24Bow to your partner.
02:26Then you turn around.
02:30Hands in the air.

03:24Bears now asleep. Bears now asleep. Bears now asleep. Bears now asleep. Bears now asleep.
03:39Wiggle time was a great success and so the Wiggles set off on the road all around Australia.
03:45Children loved hearing the Wiggles' music. The Wiggles were very busy performing three to four shows a day for ten months of the year.
03:59Wow, they were busy Wiggles. They even made the newspapers as the word spread.
04:05The Wiggles released more albums and videos through the ABC and received their first award from APRA for the Best Children's Composition of the Year for Hot Potato.
04:18It was the first of many awards to come, winning the APRA award in 94, 95 and 96 as more and more albums and videos were to follow.
04:29Everybody loosen up. Let's get ready to wiggle.
04:32Here's the original Hot Potato film clip with Anthony's dad playing John the Cook.
04:38Hello everybody, we're the Wiggles. I'm Greg. I'm Murray. I'm Anthony. And I'm Geoff. And this is our friend, John the Cook.
04:46Hi everybody. What have you got there, John? I've got some cold spaghetti.
04:49Cold spaghetti? Oh, look at it. And it's all wiggly spaghetti.
04:53And mashed bananas. Yes, there's some bananas here to be mashed up. Oh, ooey gooey, squishy, squashy.

20:09Jump in the car, put on a seatbelt and we can ride the whole day long.
20:17Ride into town, walk down the street, get back in the car and buckle up into my seat.
20:26Yes, that's the way we do it, riding in our big red car.
20:32Over the 15 years of making music, the Wiggles have won many gold, platinum and double platinum awards
20:39with over 17 million DVDs in homes across the world.
20:44The Wiggles were presented with the ARIA Awards Outstanding Achievement Award for their success overseas.
20:51Last year, the Wiggles were awarded the Overall Australian Export of the Year Award
20:56as well as the Entertainment Industry Export Award.
21:00But the most special awards were those for their work with children.
21:05In 2001, the Governor General of Australia, Sir William Dean, presented the Wiggles with the
21:11Starlight Children's Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award for their dedication and service to the children of Australia.
21:18And in 2004, the Wiggles were awarded by Governor Kathleen Babano Blanco for their hard work and commitment
21:26to entertaining and educating the children of Louisiana and the world.
21:31Accordingly, the Governor declared August the 2nd Wiggles Appreciation Day.
21:37The Council of the City of New York honoured the Wiggles outstanding commitment and contribution to education of children worldwide.
21:46In April of this year, the Australian Catholic University awarded the Wiggles the award of Doctor of the University,
21:55Honoris Corsa, to the Wiggles for their outstanding contribution to early childhood education.
22:01We're only partly joking when we say that we're still teaching, only now our classroom has 2,000 children rather than 20.
22:11I congratulate all the graduates tonight and thank you again for this wonderful honour.
22:16It's something that we really treasure and we'll look back on this with great wonder, I think, in the future.
22:24Thank you very much.
22:31Having met each other as friends and students at a university,
22:35this award is a wonderful acknowledgement of the educational appeal of the Wiggles' music,
22:40which emphasises the importance of seeing things from the perspective of a child.
22:45I've been trying so hard to become a full-time member of the Wiggles.
22:48Stevie Jacobs, have you managed to secure a job?
22:51I think I might be driving the tour bus, Sharon.
22:54That's about all they're going to let me do, I think.
22:56The Wiggles are perfect as they are, so I don't think they're going to have any intruders.
23:00We're live with the Wiggles at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Sydney.
23:03Now, the Entertainment Centre a few years ago opened the Entertainer's Walk
23:06where they dedicate stars to performers who've done outstanding business here.
23:10People like Elton John, Neil Diamond, John Farnham, Cliff Richard, just to name a few.
23:15And we have Michael Jacobson, who's from the Entertainment Centre.
23:18Good morning to you.
23:19Nice to have you.
23:20With a very special presentation to the Wiggles. Take it away.
23:23Wiggles, the Sydney Entertainment Centre is very proud to have played host to you
23:27and your 250,000 guests over the years.
23:30You're icons of the Australian entertainment industry.
23:32Captain, can we have a fanfare for the presentation?
23:35Certainly.
23:36A big round of applause for the Wiggles.
23:48Over 17 million video and CD sales, 5 million albums, and they've sold a quarter of a million tickets
23:55here at the Entertainment Centre alone.
23:57Who wants another Wiggles song?
23:59Who knows the monkey dance?
24:01Well, here's the Wiggles.
24:03Alright everyone, we'd love you to stand up and dance along with us.
24:08It's time to do the monkey dance.
24:10We're gonna do the monkey.
24:13Everybody's doing it.
