Transcript
Anthony: In 2012, the original Wiggles, Greg, Murray, Jeff and Anthony, that's me, played our last show together. The audience waved goodbye and said hello to the new generation of Wiggles, Emma, Lachy and Simon. While Greg, Jeff, Murray retired, Anthony still wanted to wiggle and he is still wiggling 5 years later. The Wiggles since 2012 have had Emma as the yellow Wiggle, our first female Wiggle. Emma loves dancing ballet and she really loves to wear bows in her hair, different colored bows all the time.

Anthony: Simon is a wonderful opera singer and he brings beautiful, beautiful residence to the wiggly sound. When we are doing live concerts, Simon loves to sing big notes and the audience love his operating voice.

Hi, everyone, g'day!

Anthony: Our wonderful wiggly friends have delighted with Lachy's singing and his hairstyles. He's had curly hair, straight hair, long hair and short hair. Over the last 5 years, I become really friends with Emma, Lachy and Simon and we love to bring the Big Red Car together and singing all your favorite songs.

Anthony: Over the last 5 years, the Wiggles have done lots and lots of beautiful music and I've loved the dancing, as well. We've done some highland dancing from Scotland, Irish dancing from Ireland. Emma's encouraged everybody to dance the ballet with her. We've done lots of ballet. Simon has brought classical music to The Wiggles and in fact, we have performed a whole show with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. I've been playing a lot more banjo since the new Wiggles have come and I've really enjoyed playing bagpipes with The Wiggles. Jeff used to love sleeping all the time but for the last 5 years, Lachy's been sleeping all over the world and people love waking him up. Wake up, Lachy! Well, everybody, 5 years have gone so quickly. Here's to another 5 years with my wonderful friends, Emma, Lachy and Simon, and you, of course.
