Wigglepedia Fanon: How The Wiggles came to be

This is a child-friendly theory by Hunteriscool on what happened throughout the past 25+ years as a celebration of a quarter-century of the band's existence.

Note: Hunter lives in the USA and only knows little about how school systems work in Australia, so some info may be inaccurate.

The Cockroaches
In Sydney, Australia, a group of young brothers with the surname "Field" formed a band called "The Cockroaches". Also involved was their neighbor, Jeff Fatt. They performed songs together and made records. However, the band eventually broke up when Tony Henry, their drummer, moved away to Melbourne.

Meeting
A week later, Paul, Anthony, Jeff, and the Cockroaches' roadie, Greg Page, were sitting at the picnic table for lunch when Greg's friend, Murray Cook, came with an exchange student from the USA. His name was Phillip Wilcher.

Formation
Jeff had later lost interest in music when he became more into architecture. He got a call from Anthony, who wanted to record a children's record with Greg, Murray and Phillip. Paul was more busy with fixing his grades. Jeff was about to hang up when he decided to just go over there and hang out with his friends. Jeff then found it to be a lot of fun.

Meeting Dorothy
A nearby scientist was doing an experiment to bring a dinosaur into present day, but brought in a dinosaur egg which teleported to Greg's Place. The dinosaur species seemed to have flowers as a source of nutrition.

On November 3rd, 1991, The band was rehearsing at Greg's place when he thought he had heard a rustle. He looked out the window to see a little green dinosaur with yellow spots, eating Greg's mum's roses. Greg wanted to get a closer look at it so he lured the dinosaur into the garage with a rose. The Wiggles checked the dinosaur to discover it was female. Murray named it "Dorothy" after the main character in his favorite classic movie, "The Wizard of Oz", since the red from the rose reminded Murray of the ruby slippers.
