Murray Cook

Murray Cook was born on June 30, 1960 in Cowra, New South Wales, Australia. He is the red wiggle in The Wiggles, a children's band that he has been asociated with for over fifteen years. On the band, he is the guitarist. Cook played the guitar in the late '80s bands Transistor and Finger Guns before joining the Sydney-based band Bang Shang a Lang. (He continued to play for this band in Sydney, when not on tour with The Wiggles.)When things did not work out in the music field for him, he returned to college and studied early childhood education at Macquarie University, where he met Anthony Field and Greg Page and formed The Wiggles in 1991.

Cook, whose nickname is "Muzz",came up with The Wiggles' signature index finger-wagging move after watching professional bowlers do the move on television.

In 2006, Greg Page left The Wiggles, because he was diagnosed with a disease that did not allow him to walk. He recently discovered that it is chronic. Sam Moran,a former Wiggly Dancer and singer became the new yellow wiggle.

As of July 2008, Murray is not married, and has no children.
