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.

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.

[@ShaneBro]

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!

[@seatonsmithy436]

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.

[@Nate-uj1ff]

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
