Dolly Parton, the legendary American country singer, has made an exciting foray into the world of children's music by collaborating with the iconic Australian group, The Wiggles. This partnership will be heard on the upcoming children’s country album titled Wiggle Up, Giddy Up! The collaboration has already generated significant buzz, with Parton lending her distinctive vocal and songwriting talents to several tracks on the album. Notably, Parton has penned and performed the track “Friends!” and her iconic hit “9 to 5” has been reimagined by The Wiggles as an educational song, “Counting 1 to 5.”

This collaboration has been met with positive feedback from all involved. Red Wiggle, Caterina Mete, who is a self-proclaimed Parton super-fan, with both a tattoo inspired by the singer and a daughter named Dolly, expressed her excitement, noting that working with Parton is a dream come true. She believes these songs will bring joy to families worldwide, echoing the sentiment expressed by Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field, who praised Parton's “pure magic” and the golden opportunity to work alongside her.

This album's release comes at a time when The Wiggles are preparing for their Bouncing Balls Tour across the U.S. and Canada, promising further exposure and engagement with fans worldwide. The anticipated success of *Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!* also underscores a growing trend of children's music intersecting with mainstream genres, allowing for wider family participation in music appreciation. Parton herself expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “I just wiggled my way out into the Wiggles’ world! I had so much fun being a part of this project, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.”
