Best Wiggles song?

My 16mo is obsessed with the Wiggles so I'm getting quite expert in terms of their repertoire.
What are your favourite Wiggles songs. Not your DC (mine likes Toot Toot Chugga Chugga - no taste...) but which ones do you secretly enjoy?

For me its "rattlin' bog", "have a good day" and "you make me feel like dancing".

Fruit salad. My DS is now 19, you can't say fruit salad without saying yummy yummy in our house.

Quack quack quack cockledoodle do

Dorothy the dinosaur

Fruit salad

Actually. Anything really from the original wiggles.

Water whoa who - Henry likes water - splashing in his 8 legged pants

Do the propeller - I love the wiggles. Not so with their new cast members unfortunately

The one about crossing the road, and hot potato!

Gregan · 22/01/2022 18:01

The Wiggles is my 14mo absolute favourite too! Hot potato and fruit salad are a given but I really like the pretzel song and full moon melody.

@bigTillyMint

Ah yes ❤️ that's a Raffi song isn't it?

The Shimmy Shake. And can you point your fingers and do the twist. And do the propellor.

I have very fond memories of the Wiggles from when we lived in Australia.

Moonshine Pearl!

riotlady · 22/01/2022 18:22

Toot toot chugga chugga is a great song!

I also like the Skeleton Scat and the one about the mumbly monster?

HandforthParishCouncilClerk · 22/01/2022 18:22

My DS discovered the wiggles at 10 months. He’s 5 now and still obsessed. After 4 years of constant Wiggles songs, I can safely say that none of them are my favourite!!

Fridafever · 22/01/2022 18:24

Yeah it’s definitely Rockabye your bear. Also enjoy do the propeller.

My DS (now 7) liked Emma so much that for a while he insisted we call him Emma.

LittleKitten1 · 22/01/2022 18:25

Skeleton Skatt

LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE · 22/01/2022 18:26

Not the poppadom song though. The rictus grin of the guest singer is painful to watch

ExtremelyDetermined · 22/01/2022 18:29

Dr Knickerbocker.
The Banana Boat song

Haha, here too!
iklboo · 25/01/2022 21:02

NO! NO!! NOT THE WIGGLES!!

DS(16) had a Wiggles guitar when he was little. It was possessed awful and kept going off of its own accord. We took the batteries out & told DS it needed special ones from Australia and we didn't have enough money for the permit.

cafedesreves · 25/01/2022 21:53

@LittleKitten1

Skeleton Skatt
Just heard this one today. So good!

So cringe.

She was their marketing manager. I looked it up today as was so baffled by it

elephant

It’s a cover version, it’s been voted best song of last year here in Australia. Also currently being played by my young and hip neighbours as they bbq (bank holiday)

BritInAus · 26/01/2022 06:02

Also a massive fan of the Skeleton Skat... so fun. And yes - Mumbles the Monster too.

Yes - if you're a wiggles fan, look up their cover of Elephant (Tame Impala cover) with a bit of Fruit Salad thrown in for good measure!

Tanaqui · 26/01/2022 06:07

Peri Meri Dixie is an old old song! I'm quite glad the Wiggles have revived it- I always thought they just made stuff up (disclaimer, kids are now 20!).

@cafedesreves that makes sense, I did wonder how they managed to get someone voluntarily do that....
