The Wiggles perform Tame Impala’s Elephant remixed with their iconic song Fruit Salad for Triple J’s Like a Version
They may be the world’s most successful children’s band, but it seems The Wiggles also have a knack for keeping adults entertained too.
The band’s current line-up, Emma Watkins, Simon Price, Lachlan Gillespie and Anthony Field, joined former members Jeff Fatt and Murray Cook for a special performance on Triple J’s Like a Version on Friday.
They performed a cover version of Elephant by Tame Impala, which they took to another level by remixing with their own classic song Fruit Salad.

The band, like many other musicians around the world, have been impacted greatly by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has affected live performances.
They recently announced an Australian tour for 2021, to celebrate the group’s 30th anniversary.
‘All of us around the country that are entertainers, we have been waiting for the moment to be able to get the green light to go out and do what we do – which is perform, play music and sing for our audiences,’ said Anthony, a.k.a. the Blue Wiggle.
‘We’re not alone in that we can’t wait to go out and perform.’
