Most households with young children have undoubtedly head of the smash children’s group The Wiggles. But did you know that before Anthony
and Jeff dawned their famous blue and purple skivvies they were topping the
charts with The Cockroaches with hits like, “She’s The One,” "Double Shot
(Of My Baby's Love)" and "Hey What Now!"?
What
most fans, of either group, know is that band member John Field, Anthony’s brother,
who wrote all of the big hits for The Cockroaches took some of their songs, reworded them and turned them into hit songs for The Wiggles! Below you will hear
the original songs by The Cockroaches and then the Wiggly version. Which one do
