Wiggly Safari (Blister)

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Pull out your pith helmet and prepare to kick up some Down Under dust with the wizards from Oz. On Wiggly Safari the bright-shirted groovesters ditch their Disney day jobs for a romp through the outback with croc hunter Steve Irwin, who spares us, mercifully, any stabs at singing in favor of intra-lyric animal commentary. Sometimes he inspires a solid "hmm." "Old Man Emu," for instance, presents the tale of an embattled bird that can't fly ("But I'm tellin' you / He can run the pants off a kangaroo"), and the maraca-shaking "Dingo Tango" tackles the wild dogs' ancestry. Other times, the facts fall flat: "Eat and chew / Animals eat, and so do you," "Feeding Time" reminds us. Musically, Safari offers standard-issue Wiggles wackiness: "Dorothy Queen of the Roses" stomps to a country beat; the "Koala La La" snuggles up, lullaby-style; the Hawaiian strains of "Swim with Me" set dorsal fins a-wagging; "The Crocodile Hunter" rocks; and the gem "Do the Owl" hoots along to a hopped-up disco beat. Suit 'em up in cargo shorts and dancing shoes and set them free in the playroom--so contagious is the Wiggly spirit that 2- to 6-year-olds who can't tell a kookaburra from a crocodile will kick up their heels. Keep in mind, though, that Safari's a strictly-for-kids expedition. Stick around for more than a couple repeat spins and you'll want to ship yourself off to Australia to escape it. --Tammy La Gorce

5 out of 5 stars Great CD for Trips and just around town.......2003-08-18

I bought this CD before taking my baby to see the Wiggles in concert since their tour was titled "Wiggly Safari." What a great purchase (the concert was incredibly outstanding - worth more than the rental car, the hotel room and the ticket price we paid!)! I'm not sure what the reviewer is talking about - not wanting to listen to this very much because quite frankly, I really like this one myself! At least now I know how to properly pronounce kookaburra! Anyway, my baby loves it and it really is nice having Steve Irwin talking about the different animals. I love that kookaburra song and actually getting to see Dorothy dance the butterfly dance in a tutu with Captain Feathersword (what a talented man!) was absolutely a riot! Don't pass this one by - it's full of great information for your children and you'll have fun listening to all the songs as well. If you get a chance, definitely GO SEE THE WIGGLES IN CONCERT! What a great time!

5 out of 5 stars Mom Of A Wiggles Fan.......2003-06-20

Good CD to have for long car trips! My 2 1/2 year old son used to hate long car rides but now he does not mind as long as I play The Wiggles CD's. I do get a bit tired of listening to them over and over again but it is either that or listen to a crying little boy which is much harder on the ears. If you liked the music on the DVD then this is the CD for you. It has Steve and his wife talking to the guys on it in between each song giving tid bits of info about the animals.

3 out of 5 stars Video/DVD is Better.......2003-05-28

My toddler and I love the Wiggles, and we initially bought this CD before we bought the video. The music is okay, focusing more on teaching children about Australian animals, which is great, but lacks the catchy tunes of the Wiggles in their heyday (e.g., Toot Toot or Yummy Yummy). Listening to the CD without the video is quite frustrating because the songs and dialogue are all about the animals. I had to go out and buy the video for my 2yo so she could see what an emu looks like since she heard about them in the songs! I would recommend the video or DVD before the CD. If you're looking for Wiggles music, try Toot Toot or Yummy Yummy.

4 out of 5 stars How did we survive without this?.......2003-04-20

If your child is a fan of the Wiggly Safari DVD, then this CD is a must have! Every single song from the video is on it, as well as two bonus songs. The only drawback to this CD is that, between each song, there's a little spoken "sketch" by the Wiggles and Steve Irwin. Fortunately, each of these speaking parts is on a track separate from the song, so I can just reach up and hit the skip button on the CD player. I don't mind these parts, but my two-year-old goes into a panic when each one starts, thinking that the singing is over!

I've had to listen to this tape all the way from Idaho to Disneyland and back, and several times a day driving around town, and have to say that I'm still not sick of it. I can't say that about any other children's CDs!

5 out of 5 stars Fun for everyone.......2003-04-12

The Wiggles and The Crocodile Hunter have allowed both my daughters -- ages 8 and 22 months -- to enjoy the same thing for a period. Its WONDERFUL! The older one loves Steve Irwin while the younger one loves The Wiggles. A match made in heaven for all of us.

Plus, the music is suprisingly catchy. I find myself singing Old Man Emu or The Crocodile Band, too.

Good music. Good fun.

4 out of 5 stars For lovers of the Wiggles and the Crocodile Hunter.......2006-03-03

I bought this CD for my two boys (age 2 and 5). My youngest wanted a Wiggles CD to play in the car. My 5 year old says he's "to big" to be intrested in Wiggles but he loves Steve Irwin. This was a great compromise CD. It had great Wiggles tunes that have both boys singing along, and Steve and his wife discuss animals in between the songs and sometimes ("Do the Owl") during the songs themselves.
