Rock-a-Bye Your Bear

Rock-A-Bye Your Bear is The Wiggles' breakthrough hit and the very first song written by the band. It is believed to be the most performed Wiggles song, being performed at every documented Wiggles concert along with "Hot Potato".I don't know if I should admit this or not, but the classic song Rock-a-Bye Your Bear was written in the bathroom. I was in the bathroom at home, and thought, I'm sure I can write something quickly, so I did: Everybody clap, everybody sing. Bow to your partner, then you turn around... That's all I came up with, and when we met up in the lecture hall later that day, Anthony asked if I'd written anything. I sang the words and melody I had come up with that morning. He completed the song with: Hands in the air, rock-a-bye your bear, bear's now asleep. And so was born one of the classic children's songs of modern times - even if I do say so myself.
