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

Amazingly, it was about a year until I discovered who my neighbour was; the Wiggles were out touring for much of the year at the time, and she was almost never home.

The life-sized sculpture of a goat, sitting in one of the rooms, might have been a giveaway, though.

One thing I love about the Wiggles (I know the old ones did it and think the new do) every single performance they do they always have a meet and greet for fans with special needs

Soubriquet · 19/07/2021 12:27

My dd was obsessed with the original wiggles

Was the only thing that kept her distracted

The new ones are shit

LadyEv · 19/07/2021 13:07

I thought I'd check this out as my 15 month old daughter absolutely loves Bounce Patrol on YouTube and Wiggles seemed a bit similar. This seems to be a hit so far. :)

Lovetoridemybicycle · 19/07/2021 13:13

I saw them twice😁. Dd15 was obsessed, DD 10 just caught the end of them. Took her to one of their last concerts. Also saw Lazytown on stageGrin. Trying to find your kid in a sea of pink dresses and pink wigs was scary!

CherryPlumCrow · 19/07/2021 13:20

Ahh I remember watching The Wiggles with my now teens.

I still sing some of the songs now especially when I'm cutting up fruit "fruit salad, yummy yummy...".
Lazy town too 😫 I miss those days.

Twinkletwinklelittlecar · 19/07/2021 13:37

I think Emma and Simon are brilliant. Simon was v. sexy back in the day!
Anthony is dull as dishwater though.

It's really high quality entertainment compared to most stuff and the kids love a bounce to it.

MondayYogurt · 19/07/2021 13:41

I love the Wiggles and I love Wiggles facts.

Emma wears a wig!
They were once Australia's highest paid entertainers!
Inter-Wiggle romance!

Kate3150 · 19/07/2021 13:52

@MondayYogurt- oh my goodness the romances! There are and have been so many 🤣.
I still feel sad that Emma and Lachy didn’t work out

@Kate3150 💔

At least I get to post this now

AgnesNaismith · 19/07/2021 16:52

Emma and Lachy didn’t work out? Oh no!!!! Maybe she had to wake him up too many times Wink

oscarandelliesdad · 19/07/2021 16:57

Ahhh, love the Wiggles. I developed a bit of a crush on Anthony when dd was tiny. He was the only man I interacted with for months on end... I would lie slumped, admiring his peppy energy Grin

He had twin girls with one of the ballerina backing dancers about 6 months ago, and Emma just got engaged to one of the musicians about 2 months ago. Simon has a baby with another backing dancer and apparently Anthony has been revealed to have had an affair with the choreographer (the main backing dancer).

DH is much more invested than I am and I think he's been reading the Australian tabloids Grin

SpongeBarb · 19/07/2021 17:13

OMG, I am so behind on Wiggles gossip...

wellingtonbear · 19/07/2021 17:15

The Popadom song...

lachy · 19/07/2021 17:17

Ahem ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Personally I love "Do the Propeller" and "Dr Knickerbocker"

DD's favourite was "Poppadom".

I miss The Wiggles.

TheVanguardSix · 19/07/2021 17:23

OP, allow me to give you an Old Skool fist bump! DS1 had The Wiggles on VHS. Remember VHS? That dinosaur? And I ain’t talkin’ about Dorothy. Grin
The Wiggles
Kipper the Dog
Barney the Dinosaur

I had an unreasonable crush on Murray Wiggle. Oh God. I’ve got Wake Up Jeff (pronounced Jif) in my head now. Toot toot chugga chugga big red car….
All I had to do to piss my cousin off was sing Fruit Salad. Grin

God that’s a proper dose of Wiggles gossip! 😂👏👏👏👏
They certainly like to shit where they wiggle. Keeping all the dirt close to home.

Kate3150 · 19/07/2021 17:28

Absolutely loving this thread and all the wiggles goss!!
It must feel odd Emma and Lachy not only working together but with their new partners aswell

Kate3150 · 19/07/2021 17:29

@TheVanguardSix- I just had to Google Murray Wiggle. I have a bit of a soft spot for Lachy, I think he’s a sweetie

You need a wiggles microphone toy that plays the songs. Smile

AgnesNaismith · 19/07/2021 21:30

Amazing goss.

Michael Finnegan was a fave here and the allergy song.

RandomDent · 19/07/2021 21:34

I loved the one with Kylie - Do the Monkey?
