Artist: The Wiggles
Genre: Theater
Background: Adorned in red, yellow, blue and purple shirts, they sing catchy tunes, most of which are accompanied by a simple dance move. With 16 albums in 13 years, they have been a prolific group by any standard. Some hit songs include "Monkey Dance," "Hot Potato" and "Fruit Salad." Selling out shows throughout Australia, Canada and the United States, The Wiggles are, more or less, The Beatles of the preschool set.

The Wiggles began as a college project. Murray Cook, Anthony Field and Greg Page -- three men studying early childhood education in Australia -- began writing children's songs that combined the group's knowledge of music and education techniques. Jeff Fatt, a bandmate of Field's in a popular '80s Australian rock band, joined the group to become the fourth Wiggle. The group completed a demo tape, took it to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and by 1991, The Wiggles had released their first album.

For those who think of the Wiggles — Greg Page, Murray Cook, Anthony Field and Jeff Fatt — as four grown men who are known to share the mike with a polka-dot dinosaur, the band's rock 'n' roll credibility can come as a surprise. Both Field and Fatt played in the Cockroaches, a moderately successful '80s band that scored Top 10 hits in Australia and toured with quirky Aussie rockers Mental as Anything. Field, speaking by telephone from Sydney with his infant daughter, Lucia, cooing in the background, recalls those days. "We played all around the coast of Australia, the surf clubs and things like that," he says. "We had a great time."
