I owned this on tape. I had to search for this VHS on the internet because i forgotten the title of it. Took me a while but i eventually found it. Now I’m here searching for the song name i used to like when i was a kid, i forgot the title of the song. I found it and the song is "Brown Girl in the Ring"
First song is still racist. Talking about a brown girl in the ring. Obviously a ring in a circus. Circus as in FREAK SHOW. You see, back in the slavery days people took African Americans to freak shows to make fun of them. And saying how she "looks like a sugar and a plum" is obviously a reference to her being... different, which is why they put her in the FREAK SHOW. But The Wiggles are awesome.
@Turtlesrfun I do wish people would stop and think before making comments, however well-intentioned.
"Brown Girl In The Ring" is a traditional children's song/circle game thought to have originated in Jamaica, and made famous by Boney M.
The thinking part: No popular children's performers (nor might I add, educators, which they are), would ever even hint at racism, not a smart business model. It's an attempt to bring an international flavour to their repertoire.

@halofan2233 As if blocking me will do anything. Just delete the comment instead of acting all butthurt over freedom of speech in my country.

Sadly enough the first song would be considered racist nowadays. :/
