B. Sure! Then tune out and ponder this question: If The Wiggles were The Beatles, who would Jeff be? Ringo? George? Remember George Jetson? Are The Jetsons still on? I wonder if ... my girls would like my Monkees albums if I could dig them out of my parents' basement...
We don't know The Wiggles yet, but it has to be better than Wow, Wow Wubzy.
We adore the Wiggles. This is our second year seeing them live and we look forward to it. We think our little guy does too. He has been practicing his dancing and singing and this year we were were lucky to get stage side seats for him.
They have been around since 1991 making children and families happy. I do feel sad that we wont be seeing Greg anymore because of his illness, but Sam is doing an amazing job!
The dancers have been a blast to watch grow into adulthood over the years and who doesn't love Captain Feathersword!
My girls grew up with Raffi and I remember thinking, oh after awhile I feel my brain get numb... but then they grew up and there was no more toddler music, no more silly toddler dances and I found myself sneaking the occasional Raffi on my walkman on my way to work on the D train. (NYC) I would let my mind drift to when they were tiny and longed for them, so this time around I am ready for it! Give me as much Wiggles as you can!
A. More Wiggles = More Fun
C, definitely C. I've lived through the Wiggles with two boys. I'll never be able to make fruit salad again without saying "Yummy, yummy!"
A. My dd LOVES the Wiggles. She is 18 mos and loves to dance. We purchased our first dvd not too long ago after our little girl started marching around the house waving her hands in the air every night. When I asked our daycare provider what she was doing, she said that they watch the Wiggles regularly and dd knows all the moves. Now she runs into the living room and yells "dance, dance". How can we resist?
A. More Wiggles = More Fun
My Kids know all the songs and dances!
My son watches the Wiggles twice a day. My husband and I watch so much we know the words! Nothing like cleaning and singing "Rock-a-bye Bear!" Greg is pretty much allowed to watch the Wiggles whever. While I may not always be thrilled, it brings such a huge smile to hs face that I simply cannot say no. So on goes the television and everything gets put aside for some Wiggle Time!
More Wiggles, More Fun! I can't decide who's the cutest Wiggle to me -but my kids love them all!
Also, you don't happen to have tickets to the Jonas Brothers concert also? I missed the deadline to submit the 300 word essay last week because I had a brain freeze or something. I wrote something really cute about why my 9-year old daughter & I needed to go so she could grow up & I could let her grow up. Oh well, the Wiggles might be more fun than the Jonas brothers as I know the Wiggles songs!
(Sorry - no Jonas Brothers tickets here. But this Wiggles giveaway is the beginning of a lot of fun giveaways here on the site and may include some tickets to a concert that your daughter may love. It's not final, but hopefully I'll have more news on that shortly. SLH, site editor)
I don't know who enjoys the Wiggles more - my daughter or me! We missed them the last time they were in town. I'd love to be able to sing & dance with them this time around....
My answer is definitely A. After Jack was born, I bought several CDs and every day, sometime during that witching hour (4:30 to 5:30) before my husband got home, I would put him on his mat and dance to the Wiggles while he kicked his legs. My husband would come home, and dance to a few songs, too. I jokingly say that the Wiggles helped me lose my baby weight. Later I bought a few DVDs, and on occasion, we watch them. Jack likes Captain Feathersword now. The funny thing now is that when I play a CD and it has some of the same music as a DVD, Jack sits in his little chair and expects them to appear on TV.
B. Sure! Then tune out and ponder this question: If The Wiggles were The Beatles, who would Jeff be? Ringo? George? Remember George Jetson? Are The Jetsons still on? I wonder if ...
A friend of mine and I have talked for years about starting a 'tribute' band called 'The Waggles' and performing at malls and kids parties.... but they we realized we have no talent. The idea was formed during a train-of-thought pattern much like the one in the answer above!
E. My kid watches TV, but the rabbit ears don't pick up that channel so he hasn't been indoctrinated yet by The Wiggles. BUT, if I win tickets to go to this, I will greatly enjoy torturing my husband because for some reason he can't stand The Wiggles. AND YET, while keeping our sick son at home the other day, he let him watch Barney! BARNEY! I'd much rather he obsess over The Wiggles.
Stacie - Mom to two boys
A. More Wiggles = More Fun!
fruit salad "Yummy, yummy!"
B- i would definetly ponder which Beatle, or Monkee, or New Kid or Backstreet Boy,,,,, possibilities are endless.
The Wiggles are more fun than Wow, Wow Wubzy (but we like that show too). I find myself getting up and dancing along with my kids when the Wiggles are on. Lots of exercise so I love this show!
A. More Wiggles=More Fun! I have two little girls and both of them LOVE watching the Wiggles. My 5 year old has been trying to teach my 17 month old how to "sing and dance like the Wiggles"! Every now and then I will hear her say "hot tatoe" when the hot potatoe song comes on!! My husband and I will even catch ourselves singing along with them! All their songs just make you smile! It's actually great family time....which is always needed with busy working parents! We get to see our little girls smile and laugh...what could be better??????
Definitely B. Sure! Then tune out and ponder this question: If The Wiggles were The Beatles, who would Jeff be? Ringo? George? Remember George Jetson? Are The Jetsons still on? I wonder if ...
wow...those Waggles sure sound like cool guys!
Definitely A. .More Wiggles = More quiet time!!
I love that Hot Potato song... its my favorite!
Happiness is a Wiggly Christmas in July!
More Wiggle and the big red car!!!!
More Wiggles = More Fun!
I like dancing along with the videos--it's a great workout.
The King...just way too cool. Pirates, more pirates. Ringo is missing--otherwise they are Beatles reincarnated!
A. More Wiggles = More Fun! Anything with music, my kids just love it.
Is it me or is this the only workout Moms can get without little ones pulling on us during it? I love working out with the Wiggles too.
A. I am the grandmother of two boys, ages 4 and 2. The Wiggles are a great learning tool and a great way to have fun and act silly together, which is so nice while they are still young!
A. More Wiggles = More fun! It's good exercise and she can learn stuff too! Most of the time she makes me "dance" too so it's even exercise for me!
we went to the concert last summer in Philly and my daughter had the best time dancing. I even got my sister to make her a Wiggly dress with panels of red, purple, yellow, and blue which should still fit this year so I think we're ready for the show.
Definitely B! My daughter also LOVES listening to the Beatles. Both the Wiggles and the Beatles' songs are so catchy. I often catch myself singing Big Red Car when I am on the golf course or working on the computer at work.
C. I enjoy the Wiggles as well as my daughter. They are a breath of fresh air. They are so colorful, upbeat, and fun. Plus we enjoy dancing & singing along with them. If only all the singers our children like could be such a positive role model, that would be ideal.
I always say (A) more wiggles fun!! She loves to watch them over & over we actually record the shows for her while we are at work. They are great for learning and for fun!
More Wiggles=More Fun I'm a working grandmother rising 2 kids. So if they can be entertain and learn at the same time I say yeah for the Wiggles.
I know what you mean I am constantly getting those songs stuck in my head! They are actually pretty catchy.
The Wiggles are def. much better than barney or anything like that. My daughter loves them more than Elmo.
Definitely C--
The answer is A! Wags the Dog, Fruit Salad, Big Red Car, Kookaburra, Hot Potato, we LOVE the Wiggles. The whole family dances and sings with them, including my 18 year old, 13, 7, and ahem, me, no age necessary, I am young at heart. We love the Safari video and the Pirate one and we even Youtube them. We worry for Greg. We yell WAKE UP to Jeff. We have a Wiggles toybox in the bedroom. We are a Wiggle Family. We love Dorothy and Capt. Feathersword and Henry....these guys just make people happy. I have never met a person who doesn't like them.
My daughters favorite song is Wake Up Jeff!! She is 2 and she believes that she really helps him to wake up. It's great to see a childrens show that had great learning, and isn't something that I have to worry about her watching.
Definitely C
My son (6) has been watching the Wiggles since he was 2. I've seen every episode at least 100 times. I would choose option B and let him continue to enjoy one of his favorite shows.
A-----more wiggles- more fun
Definitely C!
A. More Wiggles ABSOLUTELY= MORE FUN for my two little girls!
you can never have enough wiggly time! My daughter is at the sitter watching them now.
We continually keep Greg and the rest of our Wiggles friends in our prayers, God has given them a special gift with children
B. Sure! Then tune out and ponder this question: If The Wiggles were The Beatles, who would Jeff be? Ringo? George? Remember George Jetson? Are The Jetsons still on? I wonder if ...
THE WIGGLES ROCK IN OUR HOUSE!!!!!
B For sure!
I definitely say the answer would be A.
My daughter is 7 years old and she still likes the wiggles.
My kids are 8, 3, & 3 and enjoy the Wiggles. They are great fun and very entertaining. I definitely say A - more WIGGLES! If you dance and sing along with them it actually is a pretty good workout.
At least with her watching the wiggles, I don't have to worry about her watching something on TV that she should not be watching unlike some of the other TV shows that are on now adays.
Definitely A - more Wiggles, more FUN. We have loved them for years!
Dancing with the Wiggles is a lot of fun. My daughter enjoys the play time together and I can squeeze in some excerise.
My little girl tries to sing the fruit salad song, she can't quite get the words but as soon as we sing fruit salad she'll give you a very energetic YUMMY!!!!! It's adorable
The answer is more Wiggles = more fun! I love singing along with my son. My husband even got caught at work singing to the Wiggles one day. At least it was another parent who heard him and thought it was hilarious.
We love watching the little wiggles dance and sign, it really pumps us all up and keeps you in a good mood. The little wiggles are just as adorable. I think my favorite is the Hot Potatoe dance.
We love the Wiggles, so I say:
A-More Wiggles=More fun
We are watching the Yummy Yummy VHS for about the 3rd time today. This tape was handed down to me by a friend of mine, whose son is now 8. My 4 year old started watching them when he was 2 and my 18 month old is addicted now. He loves Monkey Dance--he can do all the animal motions!
We are really excited about trying to win these Wiggles tickets, my daughter will be celebrating her 2nd birthday on Aug. 31st so this would be an awsome birthday treat!
My answer is most definitely A...my 2 year old son can't get enough of the Wiggles (and I must admit, those songs are infectious!!!) Even our 5 month old is entranced by those guys.
My oldest daughter is the big wiggle fan, she's almost 2 but my baby daughter who is 3 months love to watch them move. The bright colors and cheerful songs capture her attention... and I love watching them too. Makes me wish I could dance like that!
A is the best answer. Seeing the Wiggles in action would be such fun!
I know, I hope we get to see them!!
A. More wiggles, more fun! Some days my 3-year old son and I wiggle and laugh all morning long. Fun for both of us!
A. More wiggles, more fun! Some days my 3-year old son and I wiggle and laugh all morning long. Fun for both of us!
The Wiggles are so much fun to watch, I love hearing my daughter sing at the top of her lungs. It's awsome that they are able to connect with children the way they do. I can't wait until we can go to the Wiggly concert!! rock-a-bye bear, bear is now asleep..shhshhhshhh......
B. Sure! Then tune out and ponder this question: If The Wiggles were The Beatles, who would Jeff be? Ringo? George? Remember George Jetson? Are The Jetsons still on? I wonder if ...
Our son will be 2 on Aug 1, and this would be a great present for him! He is a Wiggles Fanatic!
B- For sure, I think of Jackson 5 though and the Rolling Stones.
6 years ago I would have said #1. Now, after being exposed to all things Wiggles, it's more like #3. We are excited about not having to chase the Wiggles across country this year though. We have taken our son to a concert every fall for the last 5 years.
I have never been to a Wiggles concert, this is actually the first real thing my daughter has gotten really intrested in. I bet they are alot of fun
The Wiggles are great. My son who is almost nine loved the wiggles as a younger kid. We went to see them in concert when he was about 5 years old. We are just introducing them to our daughter who is almost 2. They are great to watch in concert. Wiggles Wow and now= Fun now. -:)
Definitely A: MORE WIGGLES=MORE FUN. They are great fun to watch. My son loved them when he was a little boy . My daughter is just getting in to them at the age of 2. Wiggles Rule......:-)
wiggles again allright
more wiggles more fun
more wiggles more fun
D. Get outside and play!
My son is 5 and he would say more wiggles more fun
A. More Wiggles = More Fun!
DEFINITELY
More Wiggles = More Fun! My 2 year old loves The Wiggles and, frankly, their music is catchy and fun so I don't mind watching them with her at all. I'm not a huge fan of her watching TV in general but The Wiggles is a big treat for her and she loves to watch it with Mommy so that's our time together. Long live The Wiggles!
B. Sure! We love the Wiggles. Our 5 yo still laughs and really gets into the stories when watching and our 15 mo dances along. We've watched TONS of Wiggles videos and I never get tired of them. Only problem is DH can't stop hearing the songs in his head at work. :o)
For those that have mentioned that the Wiggles are a great workout, I certainly agree. I gained 38 pounds with Jack, and I say I lost that weight on the Wiggle work-out.
A wiggly, yeah!
A. More Wiggles = More Fun!
We watched the Wiggles for the first time this week and my 22 month old actually likes them!!!
A. More Wiggles = More Fun! My older son watched the Wiggles when he was younger, but didn't seem to enjoy it as much as my 3 y.o does. I look forward to him singing all the songs and I even have a favorite song "hot potato, hot potato. Cold spaghetti, cold spaghetti...".
I am actually home today with both of my girls and all my 2 yr old is asking for is Wiggles....so more Wiggles more fun!
A. More Wiggles = More Fun!
My girl cannot get enough! Glad they are finally coming to the Triangle!
We are having a Wiggle day today, I bet the concert will be so much fun! I can't wait to sing & dance with them
I would have to say B. I have 3 girls and I think I have seen every episode at least 100 times each.
A. More Wiggles=More Fun. My 4yr old loves to watch his Wiggles DVDs, especially the Christmas ones. It is so funny to watch him because he knows all the words & the dance moves too.
A. More Wiggles = More Fun!
Simon is 7 and he looooves the wiggles. BEtter than that, so does everyone else in my home. Dingo, our terrier, even interacts with Wags the Dog! I'm serious.
D...our 16 month old doesn't watch any TV, but I have gotten some wiggles tunes off iTunes and we listen to them in the car :)
I am going to have to find some Wiggles music for the car, my daughter loves to sing them when she hears the music ( and sometimes when it's not on)
A. Sure if it will give me a few more minutes to take shower, eat or anything else that generally is interrupted no less than 5 times generally!
WE LOVE THE WIGGLES!!! My daughter is 3 and has been a fan for quite awhile now. We have fun dancing and singing their songs together. She also waits until I have my eyes shut when we nap together and then yells....WAKE UP JEFF!! ha
P.S...........the answer is definitely A...more wiggles more fun!!
A=More Wiggles More Fun
Our house is a Wiggly Party every day
My kids are 15 months & 4 years. We love the Wiggles. We dance, sing, act silly & have a good time while watching the wiggles.
I love how the wiggles make learning fun, it's nice to see what's she's learning that will help her with pre-school
The Wiggles are much better to watch than Barney, Sponge Bob ect.
My 11 year old just told me he still likes them and wants to go to the show too! Wiggles = ageless fun and entertainment!
Thats what I love about interactive shows like the Wiggles. They get my kids up and moving and feeling like they help control the story instead of sitting there watching and doing nothing! Viva la Wiggles!
I am shedding pounds faster by Wiggling with my kids and the show than I did with my exercise videos. And the best part is it doesn't even feel like a workout cause its so much fun!
We have been watching the Wiggles for most of the day and even though both of my kids are home sick with colds my 2yr old can still sing Wake up Jeff!!
Definitely A. We love the Wiggles at our house. I find myself singing along w/ the kids. We've never been to a concert and would love to see them in person. James and Nora would be so excited!
A. More Wiggles = More Fun!
I consider the Wiggles to be a 'necessary evil' if you have toddlers :-) Say what you want, but the songs do get caught in your head. My 3 yr old and 9 mo old love them!
As soon as we got up this morning all she has wanted is Wiggles, she was running to her dad and I's room singing "Wake up mama, daddy,Jeff!!" too cute
.
C. Wiggles and a cup of coffee. Sadly, as I read option D to my husband, my three-year-old said, "That's silly. Your kids watch TV!" I have clearly failed my no TV, alfalfa growing under the sink mother. Oh well.....
A. cams first love!
You can never go wrong with Wiggle time, it occupies my kids and me too sometimes! It;s nice to be able to go to the restroom in peace!
A- More Wiggles = More Fun!!! We love the wiggles- it was one of the first things my son connected with as a baby. He would say "gules" over & over again. We took him to see them when he was 2, then 3, then at Disney once more. He asks me all the time "when are the wiggles coming back to see me?" He's 5 now & still watches the videos and says "wake up mama" anytime I fall asleep. God Bless those guys- they have brought us both a lot of joy!!!
A. More Wiggles = More Fun! If there is ever a need to give one of the Wiggles a rest, my son (3) is ready and waiting in the wings! He knows all the dances, all the songs, and the mannerisms...he can even spin around on the ground while playing guitar like Murray! Most days when we leave his preschool, he stops at the little couch in the lobby to "sleep" like Jeff...the assistant and I know we have to say, "1...2...3...WAKE UP JEFF!" before we can leave the building! I have more Wiggles stuff on my iPod than any other artist! That is a must for any long car trips! :) My son would LOVE to see the Wiggles in person! (Ok - I would enjoy it too...but mostly because I know how happy and thrilled my son would be to see them!)
My 4 yr old son loves the Wiggles and would love to see them!
A. More Wiggles = More Fun!
My daughter is dancing to them now, she has to watch them first thing every morning, they are alot of fun!
I have to be honest & say C. I do like the Wiggles & we all love to dance to them. But then again I can only watch so many hours of men shaking their hips like that! =)
I was a little shocked when she first started watching them, I had never heard of them until then but they are very educational and fun so I have leanred to love them myself
I'm going with A. Aren't the Wiggles the Beatles of 2008, I can't dance with chocolate in my hand and at least the Wiggles are educational so I don't mind them watching that for an 1/2 an hour or a hour. So A takes care of everything. I have 3 kids and they all love the Wiggles.
C is the answer for me! But we would love to see them live.
I would love to see them live too, my little girl goes crazy every time they are on. I think we watched them about 50 times this weekend but that's ok.
My little girl gets so excited when they are on, she loves to dance along with them and she sings at the top of her lungs...it's so cute
I am Avery's Nana and she loves to watch Wiggles at my house--It's her favorite thing to do.
Have to go with C. My daughter watches the Wiggles and it allows me time to plan her upcoming birthday party! I'm certain we will somehow incorporate Jeff, Anthony, Murray and Greg into her birthday celebration in August!
My little girl will be 2 on the 31st so thus would be a great b-day treat. I agree we'll have the Wiggles in the mix somehow, which is fine
B - If the kids are happy, we're happy!
That's true, you learn to love what your kids do. As long as she's happy that's all that matters.
I loved your post. Now I know I'm not alone when I am listening to the Wiggles in my car and the kids are at home. :) With the state of music on the radio today its probably the Wiggles are the best thing happening.
We love that song too! It made my very picky eater allow fruits to mixed together on her plate.
There's nothing wrong with a little "Where's Jeff? " or "Fruit Salad" to make a car trip or an afternoon enjoyable!
Definitely A! What a great dancing workout for Mommy! We love the Wiggles and know all the songs and the dance moves....scary!
I think their songs are cute and it's even cuter to watch a child sing and dance and really enjoy themselves
A for sure!!!!!! We LOVE the wiggles!!! My oldest is 10 and still will be caught singing "Fruit Salad"!! My 5 year old ADORES them!! It's fun watching it together and singing all the songs which I know by heart!! I am 32 and love them too!!!!
They are awsome, we watch them daily at least twice!
Happy kids always equal happy parents!
Love those funny Wiggles! Great Wiggly workouts. :o)
that's true about happy kids happy parents and they sure make my little one happy!
More WIGGLES for sure! They are so energetic and the songs are catchy. We have been a fan since my oldest - now 8 was small and she still likes to watch with her younger brother and sister who are 3 year old twins. We'd really love to go and experience the fun live.
WooHoo for the WIGGLES! Kids love them and parents enjoy them too - better than any other kid show!
I know they will be awsome live! I can't pick a favorite one they are all great!
Definately B. My youngest has just about outgrown the Wiggles. It's been fun while it lasted!!
I think it will be a while before mine outgrow it, but it might be a while before I outgrow it too!
B. Sure! Then tune out and ponder this question: If The Wiggles were The Beatles, who would Jeff be? Ringo? George? Remember George Jetson? Are The Jetsons still on? I wonder if ...
My kids love the Wiggles!
We still say A More Wiggles more FUN!! I can't put into words enough on how much my daughter loves them
A. I have 2 1/2 year old twins who are in LOVE with the Wiggles. Their favorite is the Christmas special. They insist on dressing up like shepherds around the house. Nothing is better than my little one doing "Hoop De Doo"
My 18 month old now "Wiggles his fingers" when you say the word Wiggles! I really need to get that on video!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to take him and his 5 yr old sster to the show!
What's better than "Toot-toot, Chugga, Chugga Big Red Car"?! Definitely A! :-)
That is one of their best songs, we love all of them, I wonder if they have a cd out?
I have their theme song stuck in my head today, all morning long I've been singing it, I think my co-workers are getting tired of it!
I would say A. My daughter is 4 and is not as interested in the Wiggles anymore. She does not ask for them like she did when she was 2 and 3. So my son is almost 2 and I am ready to introduce him to Wiggles because I miss hearing their music in the house.
I choose C. but include a bubble bath with that. My daughter loves the wiggles and I find myself singing along as well. Very educational and a HOOT at times, my daughter is 6 but she does not know she is kinda old, but i love every minute.
I think that they are great no matter what age group you're in, they are safe for children to watch and very entertaining. I woulld much rather my girls watch them then some of these other supposedly kid shows
My 18 month old loves Monkey Dance--especially the elephant
