Well… this is a sentence none of us had on our 2025 bingo card: The Wiggles have had to clarify that they do not, in fact, endorse getting on the pingas.
The children’s entertainment juggernauts issued a statement after a TikTok featuring Blue Wiggle Anthony Field and ‘The Tree of Wisdom’ (played by his nephew, Dominic) went viral – not for the fruit salad, but for dancing behind musician Keli Holiday as his track ‘Ecstasy’ played over the clip.
“We remain committed to creating safe, positive, and educational experiences for children and families.”
The offending lyrics? “Hey girl, come on dance with me / You and your pocket full of ecstasy.”
Needless to say, parents = pissed. The Wiggles PR department = sweating bullets.
As it turns out, the whole thing was a classic case of TikTok tomfoolery: the vid was filmed at the 2025 TikTok Awards after Keli Holiday appeared onstage with the duo, but the song was added later – meaning Anthony and Dominic weren’t knowingly vibing to club-drug karaoke.
The Wiggles quickly put out a statement distancing themselves from the edit, writing: “The Wiggles do not support or condone the use of drugs in any form. The content being shared was not created or approved by us, and we have asked for it to be removed.”
They also reassured parents that the group remains steadfastly G-rated, continuing their statement: “We deeply value the confidence families place in us, and we remain committed to creating safe, positive, and educational experiences for children and families.”
The video has since been taken down, the colours of the rainbow remain wholesome, and Anthony Field can once again return to dancing safely in the knowledge that The Tree of Wisdom is not handing out party favours.
