Greg Wiggle

GregwiggleSad to hear that the Yellow Wiggle, Greg, is hanging up his yellow turtleneck.

For the past three years I have become somewhat of a Wiggle observer. It is difficult to ask for ‘Fruit Salad’ without appending the words ‘Yummy, Yummy’.

You know you’re a father when you catch yourself walking down Lambton Quay humming that Pirate Dancing track.

I’m fascinated by Wiggle Dynamics and after a lot of consideration this is my list of Wiggle seniorty.

  1. Greg (Yellow). Clearly the leader. Could be Greg Brady. Drives the Big Red Car and gets the duets with the female guest stars.
  2. Anthony (Blue). The funny one. Rides shotgun in the Big Red Car. Has changed a lot over the seasons - Now has his hair styled, tanned, buff and has disturbing glow in the dark teeth.
  3. Jeff (Purple). Hard to separate Jeff and Murray but as Jeff has the long standing wake up gag he gets the nod.
  4. Murray (Red). Not actually sure what he does.

Captain Feathersword is the dark horse. Often thought of as the 5th wiggle he may actually be ranked as high as (3). Having the most talent and energy it will be interesting to see if he uses Greg’s exit to jump to the top.

    Love it. It’s the big news at Room 3, Kilbirnie School.

    Radio NZ has mistakenly reported me as the new wiggle.

    Although there has been much speculation as to what I will do next, it will not be to become a Wiggle. Although I do think Rod would make a good one.

    Sara, I fear this news will weigh heavily on the mood at Room 3’s forthcoming “Pinecone Picnic”. Could we get our friends over at Weta to create a “Virtual Greg” replacement?
