Dan Zanes Joins The Wiggles

Did you hear that Murray Cook is retiring from the Wiggles, and that Dan Zanes has accepted an offer to take his place as the new "red" Wiggle?!?!

No, you didn't hear that, because I didn't have time to write it up as my April Fool's joke on Sunday. Oh well.

My enthusiasm for the "holiday" waned a bit after last year's post about taking my family to Iraq caused such a fuss with some readers who have no sense of humor.

So I toned it down this year and came up with the idea of Dan Zanes joining the Wiggles. It's funny because, according to some parent bloggers, those two artists are polar opposites (not in my house -- we enjoy both types of music).

But then I just didn't have the time to write it.

In reality, I'd kind of like to see some sort of collaboration between Zanes and The Wiggles, either in concert or in the studio. Do you think that could ever happen in real life? Or should I save it for next year's April Fool's joke?
