Last year, the Wiggles covered Tame Impala’s “Elephant” for Triple J’s Like a Version. The Australian children’s music group included the cover on a new collection called ReWiggled, and the single topped Triple J’s Hottest 100. Now, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker has returned the favor by performing “Elephant” on stage with the Wiggles in Perth. He also played Yummy Yummy’s “Hot Potato” with the band. Watch footage from the Australian show below.
In a statement, Parker said, “When the opportunity presented itself to perform live with the Wiggles—how could I resist? That was one of the most enjoyable things I’ve done!”
Anthony Field aka Blue Wiggle added, “We were so happy to have Kevin Parker on stage with us in a very special musical moment! We are so grateful to Tame Impala for the song ‘Elephant’ and then to have him perform ‘Hot Potato’ with us also—it was a real pinch-me moment!”
