I like the Wiggles. And I'm not going to small font that, either!
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Is that Narrative Causality or Historical Imperative or just plain weird?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Don't do that until you've seen them dance.
Wiggles? Or Wombles? Or Wiggles with Wombles?
...Wombles Wiggling? Wiggles returning to the Womb?
...Hey, has anyone read any of Hugh Cook's fantasy series? I just reread The Walrus and the Warwolf while on vacation. I'm pretty sure there's scope for another book.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
The Wiggles brign many new and exciting things to the field of children's television, but dancing is not one of them. It's kinda... rudimentary.

Did youknow that the blue Wiggle was once named Australia's most eligible bachelor? That exaggerated butt action may not be for the kids.

That's terrifying.

True, that (uh, to Holli's rudimentary dancing post). But that's also why I like them. I love watching littlies throw themselves around thinking they're so cool because they can dance like the Wiggles, instead of trying to mimic the perfect pop video choreography of some other *coughHi5cough* groups.
The most eligible bachelor thing, that was just disturbing.

More disturbing to think of them already breeding...
Wait. Scratch that. Nothing's more disturbing than their slumber party-themed video to Wait Up.

Muuuuuuum, billytea is putting bad thoughts in my brain! Make him stop! I haven't seen the Wait Up video, so I can't really judge how disturbing it is (THOUGH I'M SURE IT'S PERFECTLY INNOCENT), but that wasn't technically the Wiggles, was it? So I can ignore it anyway.

It is perfectly innocent, and insufferably cutesy. Which to me is the disturbing part. (They used to play in pubs, fer cryin' out loud.) As to whether it was technically the Wiggles, it was three quarters of the Wiggles, and the remaining quarter was too busy playing bagpipes in the Australian Army.
Frankly, I think your grounds for ignoring it are a tad shaky.

t bounces around on perfectly solid ground
AFAIK, only Jeff and Anthony were part of The Cockroaches, which would make them half of The Wiggles, not three quarters. I refuse to blame the other half, Murray and Greg, for insufferable cuteness that they didn't even take part in. I further refuse to diminish their contribution to The Wiggles by implying that Jeff and Anthony can obtain optimal Wiggletude without their brightly coloured bandmates.
Now Megan and I are going to go dance like big uncos to a Christmas album by a certain much discussed band.
