Australia’s favorite children’s band The Wiggles have shared the new ReWiggled EP. It’s the first taste of a full ReWiggled album coming March 11th, 2022, and features covers of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Tame Impala’s “Elephant,” and more.
Via Aussie publication The Music, ReWiggled features Wiggles members both original and current. Side One of the forthcoming album finds Australian bands covering classic The Wiggles tunes, including Stella Donnelly taking on “Ba Ba Da Bicycle Ride,” and a rollicking version of “Can You (Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?)” by The Chats. Meanwhile, Side Two finds The Wiggles covering 50 years of popular music, spanning everything from The Rolling Stones’ “She’s a Rainbow,” AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” Blondie’s “Sunday Girl,” and more.
The ReWiggled EP that’s out today boasts five tracks from the upcoming album. The Wiggles themselve tackle Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” The Chats’ “Pub Feed,” and Tame Impala’s “Elephant” — specifically, the cover they performed on Triple J’s Like a Version earlier this year, which features original lyrics such as, “Fruit salad! Yummy yummy!”
Today’s EP also features two other bands covering The Wiggles. Spacey Jane takes on the tale of a gardening megafauna on “D.O.R.O.T.H.Y (My Favourite Dinosaur),” and The Chats power through “Can You (Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?).” Stream the EP, and check out the album artwork and tracklist, below.
