I'm not sure if they still do it, but they did have their own concerts/world tours years ago(with two of the members here and the original members the others weren't around yet). They were extremely popular when I was a kid.
@@Meashayshay2 oh they do (or did up till the plague), you kind of don't realize how huge they are till you have kids and try to get tickets. At least I didn't
Okay so the Wiggles are a children's music group in the way that Barney was a soloist. As demonstrated, many of their songs have positive messages for toddlers and young children, hence a song of theirs called "fruit salad" which just teaches kids to like fruit.
@@dorkmax7073 Fruit salad has a far deeper message. It's about racial tolerance, gender equality and accepting anybody who is "different" on the broader scale.
Anthony and Jeff were in a pop band together before The Wiggles, called The Cockroaches. Murray was in a pub rock band before and during his time with The Wiggles.
Not to diminish all the insane talent in here (seriously, Lachie's singing is incredible and Murray rocking the solo is wild), but I'm disappointed at the lack of comments for Simon (the new Red Wiggle) and how his baritone just ADDS to the entire vocal of Elephant. 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.
Blake And here was I thinking it was primarily a live performance in the triple j studio. At the risk of sounding pedantic the recording comes from the live performance.
I imagine that a few of the older fans of the Hottest 100 are gonna be pissed off that this got voted number one, but I think it deserves that place. This is a great cover, through and through
They're actually super impressive when you think about it. Super talented, original, produce and write all that stuff, do countless live shows (in normal years), just constantly touring and producing shows. They've been insanely successful for a kids show.
They had plenty of hits before the original wiggles band was a band they were the cockroaches, and for their time I think they were decent. Definitely exceptional musicians that knew the formula for writing hit songs.
I don't have any kids of my own but have worked with young kids for years and agree this is an amazing idea. Win Win for both kids and parents. And honestly this is a pretty sweet cover all things considered.
@@drummmr91 she’s successful, and where watching a video where she plays the drums. I think that’s impressive. When is your band playing like a version? With you on drums?
okay honestly? this is a masterpiece. 10/10. I'm genuinely so sad I didn't discover this earlier. being this funky should be illegal. have a blessed 2022.
I have zero connection to the Wiggles. I don't have kids and as someone who is in their 30s, I was a little too old to watch the show when it hit in the US, BUT I think this is a wonderful reminder that these guys are more than children's televisions characters, they're actual musicians. GOOD musicians at that. I cannot tell you how much I adore this.
They were musicians way before they formed a children's band. The original Wiggles had a rock band back in the 80s and most (all?) of the current Wiggles have musical training too.
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.
@@joshuacota4077 Greg has done several reunion shows since his cardiac arrest, I think toward the end of 2021 he did a few things with the other original members and he participated in the reunion tour that they did last year which is why he got such a big welcome. He did say in an interview that it took about a year before he was really able to get back out and perform again.
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.

He rarely wears shoes when performing, something to do with his mental health and how he feels without them. If he absolutely has to he wears those shoe sock things.
I’ve come home from a day teaching preschoolers and singing Wiggles songs to watch The Wiggles do something seriously amazing. Making children and adults alike happy for thirty years now!
This is the closest the Wiggles has been as a rock-band since the Cockroaches (1979-1990) and the fact the Old and New Wiggles at the time were doing this together was icing on the cake!!

mate you deserve more likes for this I’m sorry no one gets your joke bcs they had a sad childhood without the wiggles but I do
@@matthiasmatthiasmatthias Lol thanks. It's too hard to keep track of likes on this platform anyway. You comment and it goes into the ether. But it's always nice to be appreciated. 😄🤙🏼
Yep no need for "WAKE UP JEFF" 😂❤
Lachy too. He inherited the sleeping curse. My son used to love that part where they yelled “Wake up Lachy”
They seriously need an entire album dedicated to covers like this. What a banger
I totally agree. Let me add Lachy is my favorite wiggle he's so cute and the talent he showed in this video was unbelievable you would have known Idea how much I love lachy he's just so amazing and lachys voice is calming
👀
@@thewiggles wow thank you for replying to me I love the wiggles lachy is my favorite 😁 I love you to Anthony I'm a kid can I ask a question who is lachys favorite og wiggle and Anthony do you think of lachy as a son I hate to bother you
I think they covered an Elton John song one time.
@@pgj1997 Yeah Lachy and Thesay did cold heart song
I like to imagine this is what it's like going to a wiggles concert on acid
🤣
😂😂😂
Well played 👏🏻
adding this to my post covid bucket list
Honestly it's probably the same high or sober. But still pretty legit.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is sounding great as ever!
YES I knew someone would mention them in here
LOL RIGHT
Hahahaha class
lol The Wiggles should cover Rattlesnake.
@@zackzallie8735 yes they really should though, with the microtonal guitars
This is like the tenth time I've listened to this and it just slaps harder every time. Amazing song.
This is actually so legit!
Yeah it is Especially Murray's guitar solo
Ok I never rated him as a singer....I am now converted. Dude shredded it.
The vocal on this is 🔥
Anthony isn’t wearing shoes and is just owning the elephant head... what a mood
He rarely wears shoes when performing, something to do with his mental health and how he feels without them. If he absolutely has to he wears those shoe sock things.
@@hamblyrock Thank god I'm not the only one. The best moment of the day is when you take your shoes & socks off 👌
You can tell they had a whole lot of fun making this. Well done to them.
He’s such a great vocalist.
Right! Like wtf, he could’ve been in a lead singer in a rock band
Who Simon?
They have a band (that isn't the Wiggles) !
@@Yourgirlaylaslife what is it?
@@musicalman1995 unusual commoners :)
WHAT FEVER DREAM REALITY HAVE I WOKEN UP IN?!!??!! I LOVE IT!!
the wiggles said "yeah, but what if your childhood had r̷̪̯͊̈́e̵͉͙̋̏v̵̭̏̆̚ͅe̸̡̤͈͑͠ŗ̷̮͕̏̍͠b̷͇͉̽̕͠?"
I've decided that this was very deserving of being number one on the triple j 100
Me in 2003, watching The Wiggles.

2:52 - 2:56 The exchange between Emma and Murray is the most pure joy I have ever witnessed
I’ve come home from a day teaching preschoolers and singing Wiggles songs to watch The Wiggles do something seriously amazing. Making children and adults alike happy for thirty years now!
This is the closest the Wiggles has been as a rock-band since the Cockroaches (1979-1990) and the fact the Old and New Wiggles at the time were doing this together was icing on the cake!!
This about the 50th time I've seen this, I just can't stop watching it.
Emma on the drums absolutely killing it
I swear to god this isnt real. This is is a fever dream.
I commented so you know your comment was excellent
@@seanoreilly1832 woah thank you lmao, I didn't know people liked my comment :D
@@Melaramaa was gold.. have a nice weekend
I was brought to this video by a rumour that the Wiggles covered Bulls on Parade. The rumour was untrue, but I am not disappointed
Now officially the greatest “Like A Version” song of all time! Congratulations on making it all the way to #1 guys!!! 😍😍
This is unironically the best version of the song
I didn't realise how much I missed Jeff being in my life until this moment.
Jeff woke up to play keys and I couldn’t be happier
I had to scroll waay to far for this!
I'm still here.
I miss Jeff and Murray
This is legitimately the first time I've understood every lyric in this song. Never noticed the fruit salad breakdown until these guys made it shine.
It's crazy what Like A Versions do for your lyric comprehension. I've been saying it for years.
Love the Wiggles! Saw them live in concert years ago when my son was a little boy. He's now an aircraft avionics engineer. God damn. 😊
Purple Wiggle’s vocal is exceptional
Yeah, Lachy really didn't have to go that hard, but he did!
Am in love with it - better than the original
haha, is it a controversial opinion to say the wiggleversion is better because of the inclusion of Simon's deep voice sections?
i like it better lmao the fruit salad mashup is mint
and the *ahem* clarity of the lead vocals
I like it way better too. Ive been listening to it on repeat
Strongly agree!!!!
I can’t get over how amazing this is. Not only is it really good, it tugs on the heart strings too. SO GOOD
