Theme Lyrics
Chorus: Hello Hello Hello! (3x)

It's time for Xuxa and her friends!

Verse 1:

Are you ready to begin? (Yeah!)

Ready to play all to win? (Yeah!)

If anyone's feeling down (Boo!)

Acting tough mean or proud (Boo!)

We're gonna tell you right now

We've got a group to make you smile!

We're gonna turn you around!

(Chorus)

Verse 2:

Oh come on hear the music And stay with us We're waiting for you Oh here we sing and jump, dance and play No one's with nothing to so Children and grown ups And babies and old ones alike Together we're alright

(Chorus)

Verse 3:

Wherever you may be little one Sweet one We're going to capture your love So come on Come on our show is starting The eager crowd is waiting Here among all the light, the balloons Everyone of our good friends (blows kiss) Happiness begins

(Chorus)

Trivia
The show was an attempt to bring her Brazilian show to the US, however it drew complaints from parents due to her outlandish outfits and her controversal practice of wearing red lipstick and kissing the cheeks of pre-teen boys at the end of each show

Reruns of the show had a two year run on Family Channel, one year after the show's end.

The bells and siren used on the show would later be used for the Tom Bergeron version of Hollywood Squares as the "Secret Square" cue if the contestant found the correct secret square.

Words that would flash on the screen are:

Gloop Time: This would come up when the kids play a game involving the show's slimy substance (usually played first).

Winner: When a team wins a game.

Xuxa's Guest: This would flash when the host's guest would come on.

Ask Xuxa: The host would sometimes read a question submitted by a kid viewer.

Merchandise
The show released 4 VHS tapes in 1994, a year after the show's demise. These were the VHS titles:

These videos were released by Sony Wonder. There were also Toy Dolls for Girls with a cassette.
