Anthony: We're doing the AOL Presents Wiggly Party Show all around Australia, starting next week in Perth! Question: Where did the name WIGGLES come from?

And my birthday is November 3rd :) Question: How come you guys wear the same top on the time? Don't you get bored of wearing the same colours all the time? Anthony: We enjoy our colours, they're our favourite colours. One day we did try to wear other colours... but it really didn't suit us! Question: Does Waggs barrack for Carlton? Capt. Feathersword: Waggs barracks for all teams! He loves football!!! Question: How was your trip to the States? Anthony: We had a great time. The best thing about it was the people we met, and they were really supportive and happy that we were there, which made us feel good. Question: Did you take the big red car to America? Anthony: We did but... Capt. Feathersword: The car is right-hand drive so... Anthony: We couldn't drive it on the roads in America, so we put it on a truck and took it around to show everybody. Question: Where are the other Wiggles tonight? Anthony: Greg is parking the big red car, and there weren't any car spaces. Murray is tuning his guitar. Jeff is asleep. Waggs is digging for bones. Henry is having a swim. But Dorothy is on her way to the Webcam... Question: Have The Wiggles been to South America before? If not, are you planning on going there? Anthony: We've never been there, but we love the music of South America and would absolutely love to go. The closest we've been is Miami in Florida. And Mexico. Capt. Feathersword: Just across the border, to Tijuana. Question: How old is Henry? Anthony: Henry is 8 years old. Nearly everything in Henry's life is 8! Question: Can you tell us a Wiggly joke please :) Anthony: Why did Jeff cross the road? Because the chickens were on holidays! Live Host: LOL :) Question: Do you like travel? Capt. Feathersword: Yes, very much. I love sailing my ship the SS Feathersword across the wide blue ocean to many destinations. Anthony: I love meeting people all round the world, but I don't really like travelling. The only time I really like travelling is when we're in the big red car singing 'Toot Toot Chugga Chugga'.
