The Wiggles have a new album coming out on October 3rd with The Tree of Wisdom, and we have two new singles “Nutbush City Limits” and “Rika-Pudy-Fan-Dan-Doogly!,” which are available now. The Tree of Wisdom has a signature dance like-no-ones watching routines and a devoted fanbase so it makes sense to get an album around that. The person behind the tuck of the Tree of Wisdom is Dominic Field, the nephew of the original Blue Wiggle Anthony Field and it is fun to see the reinvention of Tina Turner’s iconic “Nutbush City Limits” with The Wiggles take on the song that transcended generations in Australia.

LISTEN TO THE SINGLES HEREThe Tree of Wisdom has taken over the internet, with his signature “dance like no-ones watching” routines going viral on social media, tallying over 200 million views, and a growing, devoted fanbase that includes Khloé Kardashian, Robert De Niro, and Dolly Parton and countless other parents around the globe.
The man behind the twirling trunk is Dominic Field, nephew of OG Blue Wiggle Anthony Field, “People just seem to connect with my character and my dance moves” says Dominic. “They’re the kind of moves everyone grew up with, like the classic sprinkler. I’ve got a new one I call “shakin’ the leaves”. For some reason, my dancing seems to generate a lot of laughter from both children and grown-ups … I just own it!”
Leading the charge is The Wiggles’ reinvention of Tina Turner’s iconic “Nutbush City Limits” – a song that has transcended generations in Australia to become a full-blown cultural phenomenon. From school discos to weddings and sporting events, the Nutbush is a national treasure Down Under – and now, thanks to Yellow Wiggle Tsehay Hawkins and viral sensation The Tree of Wisdom, this beloved classic is getting a joyous new lease on life in the US.
“We know how huge “Nutbush City Limits” is in Australia, it’s not just a song, it’s a rite of passage,” says OG Blue Wiggle Anthony Field. “We’re so excited to give it a Wiggly spin and share that same energy and love of dance with families all over the world!”
Also out today is the joyful original Rika-Pudy-Fan-Dan-Doogly!, a high-octane, nonsense-fuelled anthem of rhythm and imagination. This song is based on The Tree of Wisdom’s unforgettable catchphrase that’s already echoing through playgrounds and homes around the globe. Both tracks are featured on The Tree of Wisdom – a dazzling album that will resonate with mothers, fathers, treeangers and preschoolers alike, out Friday October 3. The album is now available for pre-order/pre-save on all music platforms, including a limited-edition picture disc vinyl.
