The Wiggles and Sesame Street have teamed up to recreate one of The Wiggle’s most iconic songs, “Fruit Salad.”
Sesame Street characters Elmo, Abby, and Cookie Monster join Emma, Lachy, Simon, and Anthony for the ultimate kid's collaboration.
"Fruit salad, yummy, yummy!" We all know the song whether young or old, so this new rendition of the song is exciting for us all. The fun, bright video stars The Wiggles, Anthony Field, Lachlan Gillespie, Simon Pryce, and Emma Watkins, and Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, and Elmo.
The release comes from Sesame Street’s nonprofit organisation, Sesame Workshop, and is a part of a two-music video collaboration celebrating both shows combined 80 years in children’s entertainment.
