Here's a little The Wiggles trivia for you... They started as a mainstream rock band in the 1980s named The Cockroaches which had some minor success in the Australian charts.
@@snarkymatt585 Anthony and Jeff were in The Cockroaches. Greg was a roadie for them and sang towards the end of the band's life. Murray was never in The Cockroaches.
I would 1000000% buy tickets to a wiggles tour for adults where they cover other peoples songs and incorporate their own songs into them like they did for Elephant, wishful thinking
@@guigakakashi It's all good, she said that she didn't come from a musical background so it's more daunting for her to play more complex things, and this song had a more complex rhythm. By memory I think she was originally a ballet dancer and theatre performer before she joined the Wiggles.
This was the best like a version cover I've seen. That song is so complex and they smashed it so hard. The keytar, the vocals, the impeccable beat, the flawless transition to fruit salad, AMAZING
I’m a little bit older than the typical market that triple j is aimed at now. I remember the original wiggles before they were the wiggles and those guys could play. My daughter has grown up listening to the new wiggles and so I know how good they are. So the combination of the two is just joy to listen to. Great job all.
I had the pleasure of seeing Murray perform with John Kennedy's band a couple of years ago. John and the band had come down to Melbourne for an album launch on a Saturday night. They had some time to fill before flying home on Sunday and through some local contacts played an early afternoon gig at my local bowls club. The rest of band were there early and I chatted with John, but Murray turned up just before the gig, no soundcheck, no warm up and nailed it. Rock God, indeed.
What an awesome cover of tame impalas song... greg would be proud of where the rest of the wiggles have come in 30 yrs... they should do more covers like that ... awesome job guys... im 47yrs old and my son is now 19.. but back in 2002 - 2005 frut salad made him so happy ❤ me boi...
I have a 2 year old son who LOVES the wiggles! I was a wiggley kid myself (27yo) I have been playing wiggles every car trip for months! Who would’ve thought this would happen.
I saw Murray play DZ deathrays live and we were hoping he would somehow be on stage but when he actually came out and started shredding on that guitar WOW best moment of that splendour! have mad respect! old Wiggles feels like a cult for 90's/00's Aussie kids
Grew up with these legends, as I got older my music taste grew and developed. Absolutely unreal to them on my favourite radio station covering one of my favourite songs. Not to mention the cover is a VIBE
From Canada, LOVE the Wiggles. Totally glad I found this. My kids grew up watching and hearing these guys. Like the original 5 but cast has grown and is just as good as the old guys!
2 generations of wiggles combined. my generation..and my sons generation.. I still remember when I use to sang fruit salad when I was kid.and watching my son loves to watch and listen to rock a bye your bear by the new wiggles..and this crossover is so damn good.
Adorbs. It’s reminded me of when I did an audio engineering course in Sydney the early 90s and our teacher told us that there was a new kids group forming called The Wiggles, and they were going to be huge.
I've only ever heard of these guys, but never watched any of their stuff.. heard their cover of Elephant and am hooked... and crushing on Emma... this was a worthwhile watch all around
@@JE-xt6ol ik i just mean it's not hard to tell it's him you know? most ppl when they age look a lot different than they did years ago but this man really doesn't
ahh, they're australian, and they like animals. i get it now. Tame Impala is one of my favorite artists, but since I saw the cover yesterday I've been thinking "i love it, but why in the hell...?" now i get it
She does play the drums, she has played the drums for the wiggles for many years now. What she isnt is an advanced drummer. Most wiggle songs are 123, so she had to learn abit more advanced stuff but she has been playing for years.
@@maxpowers4436 man I'm not complaining. I was paying a compliment. Odd that today a 24hours with Emma Watkins was in my news feed. Very interesting. And she uses Tama drums and what looked like a older Roland vdrum. Her schedule is hectic. And diet and self show prep. Kudo yellow wiggle.
Emma not musically orientated and never played drums before? Holy Mackerel! Had she said she'd been drumming for years, I wouldn't have batted an eyelid !
I personally don't get that comment... she has been a dancer for most of her life... the sense of moving your body to rhythm and timing is essential... she took up drums a few years ago and is doing pretty decent playing simple children's songs tunes
@@MedalionDS9 I think you've misunderstood my comment. It's actually a nod to how easily she was able to pick and well she plays the drums. She stated that she wasn't musically oriented and my comment was actually in awe of how musically minded she actually is. 👍have a great day.
@@poulsen5750 No I understood it... I think you think the "I don't get the comment" was addressed at your comment... no I was actually agreeing with you and that I too am impressed by how her ability to pick up instruments because of her background in dance
Never watched the interviews, but I will for these guys.
Honestly same
Yessss
Same
if one of your favorite artists are on here they’re really great to watch, even some you aren’t familiar with
Word
So glad they woke Jeff up for this
Underrated comment
Jeff is WOKE
only the real ones will know
Omg this comment really gave me flashbacks to my childhood
Haha WAKE AHP JEFF
As an American it makes me very happy to find out The Wiggles are absolute icons in their homeland
Here's a little The Wiggles trivia for you... They started as a mainstream rock band in the 1980s named The Cockroaches which had some minor success in the Australian charts.
@Steven Zepeda beat me to it mate
They even did an 18+ tour one year. Tickets sold out in minutes!
@@snarkymatt585 Anthony and Jeff were in The Cockroaches. Greg was a roadie for them and sang towards the end of the band's life. Murray was never in The Cockroaches.
@@snarkymatt585 Oh gosh, yes.
all the wiggles concerts r gonna be full of indie kids after this
"the best way to keep it wiggly is just stick in fruit salad" hahaha it was the best surprise to have fruit salad in there!!
Me waiting for The Wiggles to cover King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's Nonagon Infinity
i thought this couldn’t get better but it so could
^^ the only thing you need to say in a music related interview
the entire album?
Alberto ; three times, back to back
bit late to this but they have also covered pub feed by the chats and thunderstruck, its on spotify
I like how she’s become an iconic wiggle in her own right
Dude she's like the most famous by far. Like more than half of the audience dress like her.
@@DiwaGalvez Being the youngest in a kid's show has that effect
Makes me sad that she left now🥺🥺🥺
@@DiwaGalvez no they dress like greg but with a skirt
@@Gabs2c its great news
Kev’s kid is going to be listening to this on repeat
Now I have the image of my head of the kid listening to this while Kev’s passed out on the floor after OD’ing on acid (again)
@@TimmyTickle he wife already had the baby so he's probably freaking out and OD'ing
@@luegan9701 details?! please & thank you ♡
@@hayleyb467 she had it a couple of weeks ago
@@luegan9701 where was this info published? link pretty please
No Australian would have down voted this historic moment
actually..
Here I am, 27.....watching a wiggles interview
Mate I'm 56 doing the same.
SAME 🤣😂
@@PimpdaddyBeerwulf goodonya. Wiggles was more a thing for my nieces, but this is wholesome af.
life is good ♡
literally same
I would 1000000% buy tickets to a wiggles tour for adults where they cover other peoples songs and incorporate their own songs into them like they did for Elephant, wishful thinking
1000000%!!
I’m signing this petition
Edit: also throw some The Cockroaches songs in there for good measure
100% back this!!
i think they should sell tickets for this and then arrest everyone who bought them and put them in jail for the rest of their life
They could literally do a world tour of covers and mash-ups for adults and kids.
Cant wait for Tame Impala's version of fruit salad
Who are Thame Impala?
Big red car
@@ROLLOVER48 what did you think the wiggles are back for their new show in 2021 then the 90's Zoomer's.
fruit salad with acid
@@ROLLOVER48 did the wiggles will do a new series of ready steady wiggle.
Holy fuck, who woulda thought this would ever happen, amazing, childhood and life now colliding in a weird satisfying way
she learn to play drums for this song? holy shit, she did a great job, awesome
Emma is a great drum player 🥁🥁🥁
She does play drums but like they said 123 and that’s it. She did a great job they all did.
She does play drums in The Wiggles
@@sarshak8420 hmmm, sorry, maybe i get lost in translation ahahaahha
@@guigakakashi It's all good, she said that she didn't come from a musical background so it's more daunting for her to play more complex things, and this song had a more complex rhythm. By memory I think she was originally a ballet dancer and theatre performer before she joined the Wiggles.
Waiting for the inevitable "The Wiggles cover Tool - Sober". The juxtaposition is astronomical.
Or Hurt by NIN
Frfrfrfr
Yes
Watch the salad topple over
Or Jailbreak by Acca Dacca??
Emma’s smile is infectious. What a crossover the wiggles killed it! 👏🔥
this is the most amount of pure seretonin i’ve gotten in a year oh my god
"Keep it wiggly"
right on, dude.
First triple j interview I've watched and I'll never regret it. Thank you from the 23 year old that just got smacked with nostalgia.
She’s got a gorgeous smile, it’s infectious
These guys should seriously do a tour where they play just normal songs they love.
They have done adults shows, I kinda wish they'd bring them back. There's lots of little adults only in-jokes in their material.
I think they were going to do so...but then COVID canceled it.
I bet Tame Impala will want to meet them all now
bro we're gonna get a spaced out fruit salad with ALL REVERB
This was the best like a version cover I've seen. That song is so complex and they smashed it so hard. The keytar, the vocals, the impeccable beat, the flawless transition to fruit salad, AMAZING
In my opinion, Murray underrates his vocal abilities.
Deltones-ish??
Gosh she is so gorgeous

Greg isn’t dead
Emma killed it on drums
The cover was the video I didn't realise I needed. Great to see the real OG band going strong

Number 1 now
Best 2021 advice so far:
Keep it wiggly
Grew up with these legends, as I got older my music taste grew and developed. Absolutely unreal to them on my favourite radio station covering one of my favourite songs. Not to mention the cover is a VIBE
Meanwhile in Australia...
in the land down under...
Hottest 100 2021..
No. 1!!!!!!!
Let's get it there!! 🙌
From Canada, LOVE the Wiggles. Totally glad I found this. My kids grew up watching and hearing these guys. Like the original 5 but cast has grown and is just as good as the old guys!
Who’s here after they won 2022 Hottest 100?
Being 28, going on 29, I grew up with the Wiggles, so this was awesome
Murray is so humble good on him
She was fantastic for someone who’s new to the instrument!
WINNERS OF THE YEAR AND DECADES RIGHT THERE !!
they didnt have to snap THIS hard
Murray was always my favorite Wiggle! And now worlds collide with the Wiggles covering my favorite artist
well done new wiggles especially my favorite the og wiggles jeff Murray and Anthony to bad greg wasn't there i still enjoyed it
Yeah but at the end of the day it's still very good
Unfortunately Greg is very, very unwell. 😞
@@TheRandomGuyTheFarNoGameCat I think he’s doing better now, he’s back to playing cricket in my local comp. he’s actually a really good bowler
It worked out pretty well for The Wiggles. Congrats on the JJJ Top 100 #1.

I met murray at a Wiggles concert back in 2004❤️ one of the best days of my life lol
Omg, you're lucky. I wanna meet him 🥺❤️
Just go to any indie concert in Sydney. The guy is a gig animal!
@@quentincompson2181 I live in America. But if I ever get a chance to go to Australia, I hope I meet him
@@paulinamaslow2002 Yeah, me too!
Murray needs to drive some cars and James May to play some Wiggles
Haha he does look like James may😂
James may isn't in the wiggles?? someone?? tell me urjoking Jesus

You're counter joking aren't you? Right?
They gross more per year than most other Australian bands (pre Corona Virus), but still gave it some serious 'LikeAVersion' effort and mashed it. 👍🏽👍🏽
What a wholesome, gorgeous and kind of moving interview
You are my favourite wiggle Murray and always will be. Your enthusiasm for every video and every show is just amazing!
Adorbs.
It’s reminded me of when I did an audio engineering course in Sydney the early 90s and our teacher told us that there was a new kids group forming called The Wiggles, and they were going to be huge.

Legends! Too bad Greg wasn't there 😔😔😔
He coulda played the ding at the end of the song lol
He was there in spirit and would be proud of them...🙏
@@bullyboy36 he’s not dead-
@@macy5508 shhhh don't ruin the moment
@@macy5508 he almost died last year after a cardiac arrest
i would happily go to any show murray plays
Same ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too.
Best part is that tame impala’s insta acknowledged it and said they liked it lmao
Tame impala is just one guy?
We can all be individuals but all be in the same bowl wtf 😭😭 the wiggles were before their time
Joel and keno here, we are wiggling and Wiggin. Keep up the good work. Wake up Jeff. God bless
Yessss to Murray's shout-out to AB Original's fantastic cover/rework of Paul Kelly's Dumb Things.
murray still looks the same as he did years ago
Yeah he does
Still plays just as well too
@LeHrNa yeah, he sings like an angel 😇
I mean not really, he's looking a little rough
@@JE-xt6ol ik i just mean it's not hard to tell it's him you know? most ppl when they age look a lot different than they did years ago but this man really doesn't
The Wiggles are what I wish everyone would be like.
I never watch interviews, but I HAD to watch this. So glad it was Emma :)
Many years later, I still love the wiggles :)
Love the Wiggles, especially these two. Great cover of a great song.
Good to see James may is well and happy. It doesn't look like his new colleague will punch anyone any time soon,
Can we now get an MTV Unplugged program of the wiggles for us grown up fans? We would love to hear more!
''we're all fruit salad, so we can be individuals but we all live in the same bowl"
Personally I'm ready for our Wiggles cover overlords
You guys rule, thanks for doing all you do. My little boy loves the wiggles.
This may literally be the most wholesome thing on the internet
Id call her back. 1st crush 😍 After like 15 years nothing has changed.
what?
ahh, they're australian, and they like animals. i get it now. Tame Impala is one of my favorite artists, but since I saw the cover yesterday I've been thinking "i love it, but why in the hell...?" now i get it
I’m tickled. This is THE best.
Bloody great fun. Just great. Nailed it too. Well done all involved! 👏
I just realised that The Wiggles are singing StarTrek for kids.
there's no purple in star trek
Emma wiggle has such an infectious smile. I love her :D
Yeah! You BET she does.
Just got introduced to this channel only due to The Wiggles. I’ll probably be listening to that song they covered for now on, I’m not disappointed.
The Wiggles should release a annual covers album !
Yeah Kevin'll love this, hope we get to see his thoughts.
The fkin wiggles are you kidding me!
Yep! Cool, right?
It's what people wanted
They seem like such lovely people. This is such a cool thing.
Oh gosh, yes… even though they’re not actually married to each other.
this is great, so nice and friendly! The Wiggles have done some great stuff on triple j in the past!
I've been playing drums all my life and your telling me yellow wiggle doesn't play drums. I think she did a better job most drummers would.
^She's a dancer! She did so good.

Murray played with Deathrays? That’s tight as fuck.
Hell yes! 🔥
I knooooow, I need to find this
These guys are going to be huge!!!
Man, I have tears in my eyes from childhood nostalgia and I’m not even Australian
Serotonin. This is great!
Bloody love The Wiggles, all versions and like a version
Holy shit I used to love the wiggles
I can't wait to see The Original Wiggles reunion in this year of twenty twenty one 2021 It's going to be awesome
How cool would it be if every artist could just be this up-front and honest about their performances, with no PR/marketing/promo spin?
Didn't realize that was Anthony in the elephant costume! Lol
Emma Wiggle should do ASMR, she has the most soothing voice
I actually agree tbh
Emma not musically orientated and never played drums before?
