The Wiggles Cover Lime Cordiale & Idris Elba’s ‘Apple Crumble’

Floating on a wave of good vibrations following their Hottest 100 triumph, The Wiggles have shared a cover of ‘Apple Crumble’, a collaboration between Sydney band Lime Cordiale and British actor Idris Elba.

“We are still so buzzed about the triple j Hottest 100 – it’s going to take us a while to get over that one!” said Wiggles co-founder and only remaining original Wiggle, Anthony Field. “Earlier last week we headed into the studio to record ‘Apple Crumble’ – a song that also made the Hottest 100, coming in at #14 for Lime Cordiale and Idris Elba.”

‘Apple Crumble’ will feature on The Wiggles’ upcoming double album of covers, titled ReWiggled and due for release on Friday, 11th March.

The album was made in partnership by The OG Wiggles and The Wiggles’ current lineup, along with a bunch of contemporary Australian artists. In addition to ‘Apple Crumble’ and the Hottest 100 winning cover of Tame Impala’s ‘Elephant’, The Wiggles have shared covers of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and The Chats’ ‘Pub Feed’.
