Dolly Parton has teamed up with the iconic children\u2019s group The Wiggles on an unexpected collaboration. The 79-year-old country icon has contributed to the Australian collective\u2019s star-studded upcoming album, \u2018Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!\u2019, penning and singing on the track \u2018Friends!\u2019 and featuring on the original tune \u2018We Will Always Be Friends\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s more Dolly\u2019s 1980 classic \u20189 to 5\u2019 has also been reimagined on \u2018Counting 1 to 5\u2019, in the name of education, while The Wiggles have covered the music legend\u2019s 1974 track \u2018Love is Like a Butterfly\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dolly said in a statement: \u201cWell, I just wiggled my way out into the Wiggles\u2019 world! I had so much fun being a part of this project, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.\u201d
Anthony Field, the Blue Wiggle, said: \u201cDolly\u2019s music is pure magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGetting to work with her on these songs is a dream come true. We can\u2019t wait for families everywhere to sing along and share in the joy.\u201d Red Wiggle Caterina Mete, who has a Dolly tattoo and named one of her daughters after the singer, added: \u201cGetting to work with my absolute musical hero is beyond surreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDolly has inspired me in so many ways, and I know these songs will bring so much happiness to families everywhere.\u201d Both \u2018Friends!\u2019 and \u2018Counting 1 to 5\u2019 are available to stream now on all major platforms, with \u2018Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!\u2019 set to land on March 7.
