This song was never sung on any Wiggles video, and was never planned to be on a Wiggles album. However, they finally released it again on an CD called "Hit Songs and Rarities". Sam Moran also sang this song in 2010. In 2014, The new generation of Wiggles recorded the song, and uploaded two videos to YouTube of the song. One is a music video with the new recording, the other was a live performance at the 2014 Australia Day Lunch.
