The Wiggles: You Make Me Feel Like Dancing

My 3 year old loves this video! We didn't know about this video until we heard a few of the songs at a recent Wiggles concert. The whole video is upbeat, fun, and makes you want to get up and dance. My son keeps singing "You make me feel like dancing" over and over.At the end of the video the Wiggles appear in regular clothes and talk about what they liked about doing the video. My kids don't seem to care much for that part, but I really liked it. Also, Anthony's son (super cute!) appears a few times, and the guy who plays Captain Feathersword appears as a 1950's emcee dressed in a regular suit.I only wish that Sam was the lead singer in the opening song. We heard Sam sing the "You Make Me Feeling Like Dancing" song at the Wiggles concert, and he was awesome. On the video, though, Leo Sayer sings his song. He's great, but my kids don't know who he is, and frankly, neither did I, until others told me. (Okay, so maybe I live under a rock...)One other small thing, on Dr. Knickerbocker, Sam counts to 9 with his fingers in such a way that you can't see his 9th finger very well (holds pinkie down on one hand instead of holding his thumb down). For a song like this where counting to 9 is a central part of the song, it is a bit annoying that he doesn't hold up 9 fingers clearly. The song, though, is one of our favorites.As usual, all the Wiggles look like they are having a fantastic time, and their enthusiasm is contagious. This is one of our favorite Wiggles videos!

There is an age difference between my boys and my middle child grew up on the "old" Wiggles with Greg and love them. These "new" Wiggles of course have Sam instead now. Though I was sad to read about Greg's health issues, Sam, his replacement, brings a new energy and vocal focus to the group.My 18 month old and my 5 year old both adore this DVD, as do my wife and I, and even the "too cool" 6th grade middle-schooler in our home. I actually found myself singing these songs to myself at work all day after first playing the DVD for my kids. From classics like "Old Dan Tucker" and the "Hornpipe" to the "Shimmy Shake", every song here is wonderfully performed.The Wiggles program that my 5 year old knew as a toddler was mostly skits with music thrown in now and again. This DVD is all music, all the time. The fantastic CGI sets and colorful characters combine for a truly stimulating experience. There are so many songs that kids will have no problem singing along to. The choreography and dancing that support the main cast are great...some old dancers and newer faces too...all bring even more energy to the DVD.This 38 year-old dad of three boys "feels like dancing" too when he watches this DVD. The final refrain of the last song on the DVD is "and we all like Sam". Yes we do...you are my boys favorite Wiggle!

My daughter is mad at me for writing this but she knows she loves this DVD as much as her almost two year old brother!! She can't do the dance moves as good as he can but she's working on it!!! Seriously, our whole family loves this DVD which has songs that I remember singing in high school (you make me feel like dancing). It was great to see the original artist perform it (Thank you Leo Sayer). I later watched several other Wiggle DVDs but this is far my fave. I can't believe other reviewers find this one boring - have they seen the latest Barney dvds? We're all new to the Wiggles since we only now have a little one in our family (his siblings are MUCH older than he is) so it's great to see how much better preschool programs are since the mid '80's to mid 90's. Honestly watching this dvd felt like we were watching a specially made "music video" for preschoolers. This is the BEST Wiggle dvd and I also love Same Wiggle. You're a great singer, Sam and I can appreciate your ability since I'm a musician too.Bottom line - YOU ROCK, WIGGLES!!!!

My kids like the Wiggles, but frankly, I'm mesmerized by them. I don't know why -- I think it's more than the somewhat-catchy tunes -- and I don't think I want to know why. There are some mysteries, after all, that are better taken to the grave. This is such a strange outing for the quartet. They've clearly pumped a lot of money into it, which, on one hand, is great, as it gives us top-notch production values. But on the other hand, that money could have been spent on top-notch mental health professionals, too, and part of me thinks these guys could use that.First up, what is up with the costumes? The ever-chipper Anthony (he of the don't-look-closely-or-they'll-blind-you white teeth) spends half this set dressed in a sailor suit, which, call me crazy, is just weird. Watching this several times with my kids, I've become convinced that this entire production was borne just so Anthony could wear a sailor suit. And don't even get me started on Jeff dressed as a cowboy and Sam sporting excess wardrobe from DIsney's "Aladdin." As always, Murray Wiggle is the voice of sanity here, and I really hope he gets his own dressing room and assistants, as far apart from the others as possible, as Murray, you need to stay just the way you are!As for the DVD's content, once you get over the initial (okay, continuing for the rest of your LIFE) shock of seeing 70s pop star Leo Sayer transformed into Jackie Mason, the bits here are, as always, addictive and engaging. The sets are incredibly elaborate for a children's title (I mean, Barney, come on, you can't even spring for a Members Only jacket and some backup dancers?). We tend to watch this DVD before bedtime in my house, and the songs lull my kids to sleep. Usually once they're out cold, I switch discs and move on to some adult fare. But I can't go halfway with the Wiggles, and I invariably watch this disc to the end, all the way to the closing credits where Anthony (quick, shield yourself from the teeth!) and the other Wiggles step out of character and say a few words about the making of the DVD. I don't know what their secret is, but these guys are infectious.I'll also place myself firmly in the glad-to-have-Sam group. He just seems so much more . . . harmless . . . than Greg, who was always my pick for Most Worrisome Wiggle. I can't put my finger on it, but, you know, something just wasn't kosher there.Anyway, if you're gonna sit down with four grown men who sing in sailor suits, it's refreshing to see them so happy. They're constantly, almost maddeningly smiling (though with Anthony, I think that's just to show off the fancy dental work). You really can't picture them bawling out a PA for bringing them the wrong type of donut between takes (well, maybe Jeff). I suppose one day my kids will leave the nest. They can take Barney. They can take Elmo (oh, dear God, please take Elmo). They can even take Mary Poppins. But hands off the Wiggles DVDs, okay?

This was great, the twins loved it!!! Just wish that we could get more merchandise that is current. I was sad that when we went to Australia last year that I could not find a single Wiggles piece of merchandise anywhere in their originating country? Thankfully Amazon came through and I was able to get the two movies. I did this for my mom, their Grandma. My sister was happy to have the movies as she is always trying to get the ones she does not have. :)

このシリーズもとても良いです。歌が世界の音楽のような感じで、親の私が知っている曲がいっぱいありました。

Quite different from the usual wiggles. My grandson (3) loves it. His favourites are the one with Leo Sayer, and Dr Knickerbocker. Longer songs than usual but they still have dances to songs which kids love to learn.

great

My son LOVED the Wiggles, these were great DVDs, if your child loves the wiggles too, pick this up!
