Okay, this is hilarious. The thought pattern to get me to this place was completely random, but I had to share what I'd learned. Apparently Anthony and Jeff have been wiggling together for a long time. It seems the Cockroaches were quite the '80s band in Australia.

For those of you with no kids, the Asian guy on top and the guy in the red shirt are Jeff and Anthony from the extremely popular kids' group, The Wiggles (Bryant's personal favorite). I've just learned that they toured together for several years in this rock group. When the band broke up, Anthony enrolled in an early childhood education program, where he became friends with two of the programs' other male students (apparently a rarity, as you might imagine) who just happened to be Greg Page and Murray Cook (the other two Wiggles).

They originally got together to do a music project for school, but soon decided to record a children's album. Anthony called his old buddy Jeff to join them.

And for those of you who care, you now know... the rest of the story.

That's hilarious. I knew they were friends before the show but didn't know how. We haven't watched The Wiggles in a long time in this house. I imagine it's just not the same w/o Greg as the Yellow Wiggle.

Yes, I too must admit my love for the Wiggles. We took the boys last year and I think I enjoyed it more than they did :) I agree with you Cheryl, it will never be the same without Greg.
