(SYDNEY, AUS and ATLANTA, GA) September 9, 2024– Fans of The Wiggles, the world’s most popular children's entertainment group, and the world-famous, Harlem Globetrotters, are in for a musical crossover that’s sure to be a slam dunk for parents and toddlers alike.  The iconic Wiggles hit song, "Bouncing Balls" has been reimagined and tailored for this special collaboration that brings together celebrated athleticism with a one-of-a-kind music mashup. The accompanying music video is a celebration of two of the most iconic global brands that will surely delight children and families all over the world.

 

“Bouncing Balls,” will now be infused with the famed Harlem Globetrotters theme song, “Sweet Georgia Brown” and set to a new rap beat performed by Globetrotter, ‘Moose’ Weeks.  The new remix will also welcome ‘Ace’ Porter, ‘Baller’ Moss, Sweet Lou Dunbar, and ‘Too Tall’ Winston who will also join the Red, Blue, Yellow and Purple team of The Wiggles including, Anthony Wiggle, John Wiggle, Tsehay Wiggle, Lucia Wiggle, Lachy Wiggle, Evie Wiggle, and Simon Wiggle for some sing-along while encouraging fans to engage in ball play. But wait…that’s not all, The Tree of Wisdom, Dorothy the Dinosaur and Wags the Dog will also be joining in the fun, creating an excitement that only a buzzer beater can compare.

 

Anthony Wiggle states, “The creation of this new track and video was a dunkaroo! The Harlem Globetrotters, giants of sports history, brought a thunderous presence to the screen that left us in awe. It's a massive honor to have them team up with us in this collaboration. Their iconic status and unparalleled charisma infused a new energy into the project. We are certain that children and parents will be caught up in the hoopla of this partnership and will embrace it with the same passion and excitement that we did.”

 

“This was an instant ‘music to my ears’ collaboration from the start! We are two of the most leading iconic global brands that celebrate and bring kids and families together around the world and our musical collaboration was a natural next step for us,” said Keith Dawkins, President, Harlem Globetrotters & Hershend Entertainment Studios. “We can’t wait to share the reimagined ‘Bouncing Balls’ with a nod to our famed theme song, Sweet Georgia Brown to the world of The Wiggles.”
