Opening – An alarm clock rings and Jeff wakes up.
The Wiggles introduce themselves to the audience.
Greg is standing with Henry the Octopus and tells Greg that he has a surprise for everyone. Henry says that he bought his underwater big band with him.
Greg tells everyone to stand still like a statue. The other Wiggles pose and then dance around behind Greg's back.
Anthony and Murray watch kids draw scenes of the beach using pens and markers.
The Wiggles introduce Captain Feathersword, but he answers with "Bing Bang Bong" and other nonsense phrases. They ask him what's up with that? He answers, that's a pirate song. Let's dance a pirate song together!
Anthony and Murray introduce Dominic, who is with his daughter Ashleigh. He is a trumpet player. Anthony and Murray ask him questions about playing the trumpet and Dominic plays a little bit. Everyone's wearing a green hat, so it is time for some Irish Dancing.
The clock goes pass ticking and everybody yells WAKE UP JEFF! to wake Jeff up. And Jeff wakes up to the camera.
Jeff asks Dorothy to dance, and Dorothy does a few dance steps.
The Wiggles and kids are in a camp site singing about going for a boat out in sea.
This is Dorothy's favourite dance.
Greg and kids are doing this dance and Greg does tells them things that he can do in this song.
Anthony can hear someone barking. He asked who's that barking and Greg yelled out IT'S WAGS THE DOG!
Greg, Anthony, and Murray are standing with an empty glass box. They can hear someone snoring and say it is coming from inside the box, but nobody is inside the box. Greg has Anthony and Murray cover the box with a drape, they spin it around, and chants some magic words when they count to three. 1, 2, 3, "Wiggle Waggle". They lift the drape and Jeff is there, but he's asleep. They ask everyone to wake him up. 1, 2, 3, WAKE UP JEFF! and then Jeff wakes up, wondering what he is doing in a box.
Murray tells Jeff to not fall asleep again and said we neeeeeeed YOU! for the next song.
It's time to say goodbye. Jeff has fallen asleep again in his bed, so the Wiggles have one more dance. And then yell the final "WAKE UP JEFF!" after they clap their hands three times.
The Wiggles are backstage. They have warmed up their singing voices by practicing "Rock-a-Bye Your Bear". They also have tucked their shirts and brushed their hair. Over by the side is Wags and Henry, Wags is polishing Henry's shoes. And at the last part, Greg knew that somebody was missing. Where's Jeff? Murray saw Jeff fallen asleep on a chair and told the Wiggles that he's asleep. They call the viewer to wake up Jeff. 1, 2, 3, WAKE UP JEFF! Jeff arises and they are ready to go on stage for the concert and so they all ran out to the stage.
The Wiggles are:
Also featuring:
Anthony began wearing a blue shirt instead of a green shirt. Dorothy and Henry's costumes were updated but Dorothy's old costume is seen on "D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur)" while Henry's old one is seen on the cover. Anthony, Murray, and Greg wear short-sleeved shirts in the concert.
Paul Paddick, who joined the cast as a regular in 1996, makes his video debut as Captain Feathersword. [4]

John Field [ better source needed ] from The Cockroaches also appears in an outdoor shot for "Wave to Wags". [6]

In April 2000, when the video was released in North America, "Everybody is Clever" was replaced by one of "The Chase" scenes typical of the closing credits of TV Series 1. However, the preceding skit where they act like statues was retained.
In August–September 2018, the video was uploaded to the Wiggles' YouTube channel in multiple parts. [7]
