Earlier this week, the city of Bunbury in Western Australia played “Hot Potato” by the children’s band The Wiggles on loop near a makeshift shelter for homeless people. Though Mayor Jaysen Miguel denied to The Washington Post that the song was being used to deter homeless people from camping there, The Wiggles took notice and expressed disappointment with their music being used in such a manner.
“The Wiggles’ music is created to bring joy and happiness to children and families around the world,” a spokesperson for the Australian group said in a statement, “and we are deeply disappointed to hear that it is being used in any other way.”
Miguel said that the music was turned off on Thursday (November 2nd). “This is a public facility, and this area is a public area. We want to make sure that it’s safe for everybody utilizing that,” Miguel told The Washington Post.
