THE WIGGLES COVER ROLLING STONES, RHIANNA, QUEEN, AC/DC AND OTHERS ON BREAKOUT NEW ALBUM ENTITLED “REWIGGLED”

DOUBLE ALBUM FEATURES THE OG WIGGLES TOGETHER WITH THE NEWLY-EXPANDED CURRENT LINEUP

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — For 30 years The Wiggles have been the premier children’s entertainment group, known for their classic tunes like Fruit Salad, Hot Potato, and Big Red Car.

In a move, sure to delight parents, The Wiggles have just released a new album, called “ReWiggled.” In response to overwhelming audience demand, following the viral explosion of The Wiggles’ cover of Tame Impala’s ‘Elephant,’ the band decided to record a full-length collection of classic covers from artists like Rhianna, Rolling Stones, AC/DC and Queen.

ReWiggled features the current Wiggles lineup joining forces with the ‘OG Wiggles’ (Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt and Greg Page), and some very special musical friends, for the ambitious and expansive recording project.

ReWiggled is a double album, comprised of two distinct halves, which celebrate both the enduring nature of The Wiggles’ songbook, and also, The Wiggles’ own lifetime love of music.

Side One of the album sees some of Australia’s top musicians paying tribute to The Wiggles, honoring the profound and unique influence the band has had over generations of young music fans. Side Two of ReWiggled features “wigglified” versions of classic hits originally performed by some of the biggest names in music.

Perhaps the wildest moment on the EP sees The Wiggles tackle one of the most iconic songs of all time – Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ – in a performance that proves to be an absolute musical tour de force.

Wiggles founder and Blue Wiggle Anthony Field, remarked: “It’s been really enjoyable, and also so humbling, hearing all these wonderful artists doing their versions of Wiggles songs – they’re all so very talented. And it’s been a real thrill to get back in the studio together with all the Wiggles – the current members and the OG’s – to record some cover versions of our own. We had so much fun doing ‘Elephant’ for Like A Version, and now we’re really excited for people to hear what we’ve cooked up for this record!”
