Shearing lots of Word Cruft. And there is a great example of why it's a bad idea to have trope entries reference other trope entries here, and without it, the entry in question is zero-context.


* Several, but a special mention goes to "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwHdqN50pws Wiggly Medley]]", the song that accompanied the credits in The Wiggles Movie. It takes some of their most popular songs, ups the tempo, and rolls them all in to one song that flows really nicely.
* The 2017 version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWGJGzpXceQ "Go Santa Go"]]. It's much more calm and soothing compared to the rocking and energetic versions the band recorded before, mostly because this one is driven more by the acoustic guitar and background synths. It also features a returning Greg who clearly hasn't missed a beat when it comes to his singing ability.
* "Do the Propeller" is a great song on its own, but in November 2019 the group did [[https://youtu.be/SRWgTm-CeKk a version]] with the cast of '''Series/SesameStreet'''!

%%What about it?



* The 60's pop inspired [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jXlKL3Zyc4 "Shimmie Shake"]] deserves a mention too. Featuring catchy organ work and bright guitars, it's also one of the first songs that showcases Sam's vocal ability. Despite the fact that his era is often met with [[BrokenBase mixed reception]], this song is considered to be one of the highlights from it.

* Really the whole of ''The Wiggles Meet the Orchestra'' counts. As the title suggests, it's the band performing some of their classics while being backed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and it works brilliantly. Highlights include the swing-infused [[https://youtu.be/1PrE93qdUEs "Hot Potato"]], a big band styled version of [[https://youtu.be/GNoV6Kn6oi4 "Captain's Magic Buttons"]] and the brilliant [[https://youtu.be/AwwWRnnsJMA "Tales Of The Symphony Orchestra"]] which perfectly showcases Simon's opera singing ability.
* [[https://youtu.be/MfQ-FL587IU "Gypsy Rover"]]. A peaceful acoustic ballad featuring an [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Art Garfunkel-like]] vocal performance from Greg.
* The band's rendition of [[https://youtu.be/5f9wDNgDNY4 "The First Noel"]]. It's the band taking turns reading the verses of the song while being accompanied by an acoustic guitar and a beautiful string section.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGVfkqNlk08 "Do the Wiggle Groove"]] is a candidate for the best song the band has ever done. It features some great guitar and organ work from Murray and Jeff, respectively, and Greg gives one of his strongest vocal performances.
* The big band-style [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1jEzWr-3r4 "Here Come The Wiggles"]] is another gem, featuring Greg's iconic buttery voice, the friends making their entrances in time with the song, and string and horn sections that wouldn't be out of place in a Broadway show!

* [[https://youtu.be/nqkm0CtY4iI "Do the Skeleton Scat"]], as the title suggests, is a jazzy, swing infused song that wouldn't sound out of place in one of Creator/TimBurton's more family friendly movies.
* The band's cover of Music/EltonJohn's [[https://youtu.be/LBfXJTmZbNg "Your Song"]] that they recorded as a tribute to the latter due to him being on his farewell tour. It's really the first time that Lachy really gets to shine as a singer and his lower range is actually very reminiscent of Greg's singing.
