- According to the original video trailer, an alternate and original version of this video seemed to exist. In 1996, ABC tried to change the appearance of The Wiggles to appeal more to kids, by changing their skivvies and long pants to t-shirts and shorts, plus the addition of Wiggle-colored sneakers, and at one point, baseball caps (which were ditched before filming began). Only four songs are known to have ever been filmed, based on the trailer seen on some 1996 copies of The Wiggles: Wiggle Time (1993), The Wiggles: Yummy Yummy (1994) and The Wiggles: Dance Party (1995); "Everybody Is Clever", "Bing Bang Bong (That's a Pirate Song)", "Wake Up Jeff!", and "Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance?)". The latter two have surfaced online, as they first appeared on ABC TV in 1996 likely some time before any version of the video was completed, with the former airing after shows on the ABC For Kids block "Mixy" (hosted by the titular bunny character from ABC's TV show, The Ferals (1994)) as late as 1998. It is currently unknown if the other two music videos were ever shown (as well as any other possible videos not featured in the trailer). The video was, of course, completely restarted, with The Wiggles retaining their classic look, and Henry's costume receiving an update. Re-shooting the video most likely began shortly after the filming of "Bing Bang Bong", due to it using the same set as in the final version, while the other three were very heavily changed, possibly due to the backgrounds being demolished or re-purposed.
- For unknown reasons, "Everybody is Clever" is replaced with "The Chase (Instrumental)" in the American version. However, the statue skit/prologue to "Everybody is Clever" is still used, although cut short before Greg leads into the song by saying "Let's be statues together, everybody."
- In 1999, the South African VHS release used the early work-print. In it, there is a complete off-line footage, including a credit-less version of the Goodbye Dance.
