In a promo for the video on 1996 reprints of their previous videos Wiggle Time, Yummy Yummy and Big Red Car. The Wiggles' outfits, other character's designs and sets looked very different that what was seen in the released video. The Wiggles were wearing short sleeved shirts and shorts (similar to what they wore in a television pilot they taped a year earlier) and the other character's designs were drastically different outside of Henry The Octopus who looks the same from the previous videos hence why he looks different from the album cover and the released video. The sets seen in the original version had a dark blue background with various shapes with The Wiggles colors and another set had a slightly different sky design than seen in the released video. While no official reason was given for the reshoots, but it's given that they band hated the new look and went back to the look they donned in the previous release Big Red Car and Henry's costume ended up getting an update.

The sets seen in the original version had a dark blue background with various shapes with The Wiggles colors and another set had a slightly different sky design than seen in the released video. While no official reason was given for the reshoots, but it's given that the band hated the new look and went back to the look they donned in the previous release Big Red Car and Henry's costume ended up getting an update.

It's unknown if any of the songs from the released video were shot for the original version.
