Your four-year-old is psyched right now, The Wiggles just went Country. They got a new truck. And in true Country fashion, they wrote a song about it. They replaced their "Big Red Car" with a big red truck. It's called "Big Red Ute" (yoot) . . . Aussie slang for a utility vehicle. Maybe DON'T tell your kid about the song, though. Because if they love it, you're in big trouble. It's the kind of thing you only want to hear once, and even that might be too much.
