The Wiggles on singing with Dolly Parton in their starry country era: We are friends of Dorothy!'
Briefly

The Wiggles are set to release their 63rd album, 'Wiggle Up, Giddy Up,' featuring a song called 'Friends of Dorothy,' inspired by a misunderstanding of a queer slang term. Collaborating with modern country artist Orville Peck, known for his LGBTQ+ advocacy, the band aims to create inclusive music for children. The album includes appearances by prominent country artists and pays homage to classic collaborations, showcasing the Wiggles' ability to blend children's entertainment with contemporary musical trends and messages of friendship and acceptance.
When we performed in the US, people kept asking if we were 'friends of Dorothy?' At first, I thought they meant our dinosaur character.
Our new album, Wiggle Up, Giddy Up, showcases our collaborations with popular artists, merging our children’s music with contemporary country flair.
