They're everywhere. But not in England. Yet. We've got The Tweenies, and (What's The Story In) Balamory, and The Hoobs, who are fucking brilliant...we don't need no Wiggly nonsense.

I like this because it fits in with my view of what they must be like off-camera -- not on drugs, but definitely like a good drink and partying.

The remix -it's on The Wiggles Movie Album, track 23 or something - right at the end. It's a medley. It's unmistakable, becuase it's a happy hardcore track based loosely around "Can You Point Your Finger And Do The Twist". I have heard it makes little kids cry. My daughter calls it 'de silly song' and doesn't believe me when I say I did it -'naah, your just twicking me!!!'
My favourite Wiggles song? "Everybody Clap". Also, "Fruit Salad" is a fave.

This new slang expression (to me) fills my heart with love.
I like the song with the 'take a bow' bit in it because whenever that line came along the above mentioned friends' daughter Emma would stop her happy dancing and indeed take a bow. It was a lovely thing. :-)

Funny, when I read that I immediately thought, "T-shirt!".
The Wiggles going 'appy 'ardkore is one of the scariest thoughts I've had in a while.
Now The Hoobs feat. Mike Skinner, *that*'d be something.

Yes, Ned, that's 'Everybody Clap' - and that's why I like it too. A little three year old taking a bow is the sweetest sight on earth.

It may be noted that my two-year-old has indeed destroyed my sense of humor, but i don't think so. Destroy Dorothy the Dinosaur. Destroy Captain Feathersword.
De-stroy. Kill all Wiggles.

Sailing Around the World! Actually in my itunes library so that I have kids music to appease the nieces with when I'm stuck babysitting them. It's an interesting concept album, at least.

There's a Wiggles version of "Brown Girl in the Ring" featuring a bunch of white children dancing in a ring around an OCTOPUS. I mean, it's almost like they're pointedly being dicks about this.

At first I thought the new girl Wiggle was the girl Anthony was allegedly getting with, but this person appears to be new. But that or some other article claimed that Murry hadn't been touring with the group overseas, but he was totally there (here) last year, though Jeff was in the hospital getting a pacemaker put in.
All I know is that Sam got screwed. My kids are young enough that they don't know the first yellow Wiggle, but they love Sam.

It's funny, my little girl loves almost any kind of children's show dreck but she doesn't like the Wiggles at all. One time their show came on after one of her cartoons and she said "Ugh, why is this on?"
