[Patdemps11]

Did this evolved into dorothy's Bday party? Correct me if I'm wrong

[littlebeano]

thats so cute how they went from being a band from the late 80's to the infamous wiggles!

[flamingviolets]

How can anyone not like this. They were such an amazing band. Anthony and Jeff were student teachers at my brother's school. St. Pauls in Manly (North Head).

They used to sing while i was a kid and now they sing to my kids, talk about a career.

[flamingviolets]

I remember seeing them at the old Manly hotel. Wonderful memories..............the happiest time of my life.

[ZOK64]

I remember this. Haven't heard it for years....thanks for posting.

[cheekyoziechick]

just don't understand why they went from this to Waking up Jeff? More money I guess. I just loved them so much. I went to a Wiggles concert just to see some of the guys. :)

[getreadytowiggle1991]

@cheekyoziechick That's incredibly wrong. The Cockroaches broke up because Paul Field's daughter died of SIDS while The Cockroaches were touring. Then Anthony Field turned to early childhood development and was a teacher for two years. It was there he met Greg Page, Murray Cook and Phillip Wilcher. Anthony decided to combine his love of music with childhood development and created The Wiggles first album which was called The Wiggles.

@getreadytowiggle1991 greg was the roady for the cockroaches

[kristiannmary]

It's one of those old tunes, that you don't get tired of. Simple and classy, it does rock...

[enquvist]

WOW this brings back memories!! I was about 12 when this used to be on Video Hits! They all look quite boyishly handsome in this, like teen Idols lol.

[charltonian]

Fantastic!

[KelliBryan]

Will you please try to find Permanently Single and place it back on here?

[jmeangel76]

I'm with KelliBryan. Looking for someone to put Permanently Single back up pleaseeeeeee....lol.

[ilsy74]

No Wiggles, just legends!

[rboyes92]

No Cockroaches 4 years before Wiggles

[getreadytowiggle1991]

@rboyes92 Anthony and Jeff were still touring with The Cockroaches after The Wiggles begun. They even missed a few shows because of that. They also released two albums after The Wiggles started: Positive (1991) and St. Patrick's Day 10am (1994).

[83226505]

[roseanne74]

Damn I've had this song on the brain for weeks!!! Great song!!

[JeevesReturns]

Great sound. Where can I get a CD? The Housemartins sound kind of like them.

[kcaj789]

iTunes offers a "Best of" CD, but other than that I have no clue where to find anything from the Cockroaches.

[Trigarner]

I wish someone would just light a fire under Paul Field's butt so he will hurry up and make a Cockroaches DVD!!!!!!!

[kcaj789]

I'd second that.

[TheOZMUSICFAN]

I'd third it!

I really like this song.

[raffiandwigglesrock]

Where did you find this song?

[nzoz1987]

Somebody from Melbourne sent me the clip and I merged it with a CD track. The video is rare; hence the reason I had it sent to me.
