We Say...
The Wiggles are Australian; therefore, their output is a little off-kilter from traditional American kid's entertainment, which is what makes it so effective. This delightful album is a perfect example: it's broad-minded without being pretentious, friendly without being sickly sweet and even amusing for adults (at least on the first couple of listens). Ostensibly a record about "cowboys," it ventures into typically surreal Wiggle asides. There are several songs in Spanish (including a lovely version of the traditional Mexican tune "Celito Lindo"), a number about Italy's "Master Pasta Maker" and a luxurious paean to the joys of olive oil. The usual Wiggle themes are here: eating well, hanging out and singing with your friends and laughing at the antics of a wacky pirate. Judging by the way this generation of children reacts to them, the Wiggles are their Beatles. Cold Spaghetti Western isn't the Wiggles' Sgt Pepper — that would be Top of the Tots — but it just might be their Abbey Road.

They Say...
For Cold Spaghetti Western (Ha! Get it?), Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt, and Greg Page get out the bandannas, western shirts, and Stetsons for a ride on "The Wiggly Trail," as well as other adventures. Opener "We're the Cowboys" is a nice country & western singalong; it also introduces the "Yee-HAH!" and "Yipeee!" western whoops that pepper Cold Spaghetti Western. "Master Pasta Maker (From Italy)" introduces an Italian chef friend of the Wiggles'; he sings in Italian as the track gets faster and faster, and continues the Italian lessons through the funny introduction to "Follow the Bird." "Hey Now, Let's Have a Party!" is a nice mix of Caribbean and Latin styles, and "Fiesta Siesta" teaches kids the Spanish words for both party and nap. Cold Spaghetti's best moments feature Wiggles guests Fernando and Fernandito Moguel. The Moguels speak mostly Spanish during their introductions, but despite only minimal translation from the Wiggles, they're remarkably easy to understand. They perform the Mexican traditionals "Cielito Lindo" and "El Pato," furthering the international flair of the Wiggles' western trek. But it's their conversations that are key, since they become subtle lessons in linguistics for curious kids.
