I discovered this show on Netflix (I’m in UK) for my DS a few months ago and I think it’s fab. The songs are brilliant, so catchy, DS loves it and dances along.
I get so disappointed when he wants to watch one of his other programmes lol xx

DS had a video with an advert for the Wiggles on the end, I thought then scary as fuck

Kate3150 · 19/07/2021 08:44

I used to like Come Outside with Pippin and Auntie Mabel. Not sure if it's on any more though as my kids are teenagers.

The wiggles are different now than when dd (17) was little and watching them but I actually lost weight while she was in her wiggles phase used to be in three time a day on Nickelodeon plus any DVD’s she had and dancing along to the songs with her all day actually lost weight abs improved my fitness Grin

@Celandines- I remember that, I was a lovely programme
@LooksBetterWithAFaceMask- we’ve been watching lots of “30 years of The Wiggles” on YouTube. It’s changed so much!!! Apart from Anthony of course 😉 lol x

I was about to sing Dorothy the Dinosaur but have been beaten to it...

Wriggleon · 19/07/2021 09:26

Saw them live, ds was beside himself when "the purple one touched me" ( high fived him)

EverythingDelegated · 19/07/2021 09:26

Ah, I used to like the Wiggles when my teenagers were little. I had completely forgotten about them. Wake up Jeff!

Kate3150 · 19/07/2021 09:28

You cannot beat a few Lazy Town tunes to mix it up abit.

Crikeycroc · 19/07/2021 09:36

Me too! DD starts waving her arms and laughing as soon as ‘toot toot chugga chugga big red car’ comes on.

Ha! We took DDs to see the, live in Brighton years ago. DD2 who was only about 2 years old then, was completely obsessed with Jeff. She was sooo excited all the way there I thought she’d explode and when Jeff actually came down the aisle and said hello to her I think she nearly fainted Grin

BIG RED CAR FOR THE WIN!! We love the wiggles in this house!

dancemom · 19/07/2021 09:56

Dd is 15 now but we used to love The Wiggles! We also went to see them live and took a rose for Dorothy, aw those were the days!

chickensouporwine · 19/07/2021 10:37

The wiggles are great. I love that there is some adult humour in them sometimes too and you can tell they muck around and have a laugh. I was just watching the one where Anthony is 77, so funny.

Kate3150 · 19/07/2021 10:43

I’m loving all the stories.
It’s really making me want to seem them live too x

I used to live next door to Emma Wiggle...

AgnesNaismith · 19/07/2021 10:54

Good luck getting into a lift ever again without singing ‘we’re going up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up’ or down depending on which way.

Emma wiggle is brilliant, i took dd2 to see them once and she noticed a mega fan on the second row who happened to be deaf, so she sat on the stage in front of her and they signed back and forth for a good 10-15 mins.

SpongeBarb · 19/07/2021 10:56

Love the Wiggles! Seen them live, got the T-shirt. But love the original line up best.

MaverickDanger · 19/07/2021 11:02

Our Australian nephew is convinced we named DS after one of the Wiggles.

Youdiditanyway · 19/07/2021 11:19

I can’t stand them 😂. I have a younger brother who loved them as a toddler so I was forced to watch the same videos on a loop for months, I think it scarred me for life! Tried watching the updated version with toddler DS but it’s even worse.

LBOCS2 · 19/07/2021 11:23

Both mine loved The Wiggles - and DD2 has recently taken up Irish dancing which was 100% Emma Wiggle's influence, given that we live in London and she'd never seen it anywhere else!
