Cover of Under the Red Sky

Under the Red Sky · 1990

Wiggle Wiggle

Slash of Guns N' Roses plays guitar on the opening track.

The words

A childlike chant urges someone to wiggle through a series of absurd images.

In a nursery-rhyme chant, the singer keeps telling someone to wiggle, piling up nonsense comparisons that grow odder and slightly more menacing as they go. There is no real story, only a run of playful commands repeated with cheerful insistence. The song works more as a rhythm and a mood than as a message, a deliberately silly opener. It starts Under the Red Sky, with Slash of Guns N' Roses playing guitar.
