Like it adds *so much* to the original, not just in making it funky as hell, but somehow...darker too??? Whatever it is, I just live for his baritone.

      I have only started watching Wiggles again (after my own childhood) after having a child and I gotta say looking at it through the lense of an adult these guys are insanely talented artists and some of their choreography is way outside the realms of what you would normally consider children's entertainment.

    They won the Hottest 100. They need to do an entire album of covers. ❤️❤️❤️

      They actually are! They are doing an album, two discs, one is them covering songs, and the other is other aussie artists covering Wiggles songs

    This is one of those things that reminds you "Oh wait, they are actually seriously great musicians, they just decided to do music for kids but could've basically one anything they damn well pleased and been successful"

      The Wiggles are a legitimate national treasure. Also their songs often have nods and references to other music.
      The Wiggles are the gateway drug to classic rock.

      I think the Wiggles did more shows in one year than the Stones have done in their career.
      Not to mention they are franchised in 190 countries

      This made me realize that The Wiggles are The Beatles of children's entertainment. Henry The Octopus and Octopus's Garden: Coincidence? I think not.
