Twenty years on from their million-selling No. UK 1 smash Teletubbies Say Eh-oh!, the fab four are once more eyeing the charts with an irresistibly catchy new album, Big Hugs. Featuring a mix of new songs from the current series of the iconic show, alongside a selection of children’s classics with a Tubby twist, the record will be available both digitally and on CD from 13 October, 2017.
Music and dance are integral to Teletubbies, so what better way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking preschool show than with a brand new album for youngsters to sing and dance along with.
With distribution handled by The Children’s Group, Big Hugs will be available from HMV, Amazon.co.uk, iTunes, & select FOPP locations in the U.K. It will also be released in the US, Canada, Australia and throughout Europe. Tracks will also be available to download individually, with the title track “Big Hugs” available digitally on September 29th and can be streamed on Spotify.
Narrator Daniel Rigby lends his vocals to many of the songs, including the title track Big Hugs, the popular Bottom Bump Song and Tiddlytubbies Songtime, which introduces the world to the delightful Tiddlytubbies. In addition to music from the first two series of the revamped Teletubbies, the 19-song soundtrack features timeless favourites that kids know and love performed by the voice of the Tiddlytubbies and Voice Trumpet, Teresa Gallagher. Preschoolers will be moving and grooving to children’s classics such as Wheels on the Bus, Four in a Bed and Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.
Daniel said: “It’s amazing to sing the Teletubbies theme tune. Highly surreal, but wonderful, as well, and any one of my friends, or my family, who I say, 'I am now singing the theme tune of the Teletubbies,' it's like I'm saying, 'I've been knighted,' or, yeah, 'I've won £1 million’.”
The full track listing is: Teletubbies Theme; Big Hugs; Tubby Car Song; Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes; Tubby Packing Dance; Tiddlytubbies Songtime; Bottom Bump Song; Tubby Phone Dance; Tiddlytubbies Playtime; Four Little Monkeys; Puddle Dance; If You're Happy and You Know It; Party Dance; The Custard Ride; Stomp Dance; Wheels on the Bus; Old MacDonald Had a Farm; Five in the Bed; and Tiddlytubbies Sleepybyes.

ReplyDeleteSo difficult :- I like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, so well known. I can recall my Great Nephew singing Thomas and Friend's theme song :- Brilliant. Yet many years ago on a journey abroad young children singing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes ( in Itaian) was great to recognise tune and song, and got us communicating with their Mum as best we could, though we spoke no Italian and she did not speak English. Great Fun, and friendly to interact together. The family were on their way to visit the children's Granparents, who met them at the train station.

ReplyDeleteThe Wheels On The Bus :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like a popular choice, but it's The Wheels On The Bus for me too
ReplyDeleteRing a ring a roses. entered
ReplyDeleteThe Wheels on the Bus seems a popular choice but it was only just becoming popular when my children were little and was not around when I was a child. I had to be content with Here we go Loobie Lou and traditional nursery rhymes. I think I'll pick Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, as it's stood the test of time.
