Older people have probably been asking the younger generations: "What's this TikTok business."

Most would reply with 'it's a social media thing' and then go back to practising their new dance moves that will totally go viral and make them famous.

But it seems like there is room for people other than teenagers on the platform and they're about to get a taste of what real talent looks like.

The Wiggles have launched on TikTok and they haven't had any trouble building an army of fans on there.

In less than a day, the children's entertainers have managed to get more than 55,000 followers and a whopping 251,000 likes.

The group has only posted two videos, both showing original Wiggle Anthony Field chuck a few sick dance moves with his mates Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus and Wags the Dog.

Those videos alone have been watched more than 1.3 million times - which is just mind-baffling in such a short time. But then again, it is The Wiggles, no one should underestimate their power.

The group says they're working on getting their music on TikTok so that they're able to launch the next epic viral trend on the social media platform.

The Wiggles were recently approached by a very unlikely star in the music industry: Lil Nas X.

The rapper was one of the biggest breakout stars of the music industry in 2019, with his smash hit 'Old Town Road' -which ended up being remixed by veteran country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

It looks like he's keen to keep that momentum going into 2020 by enlisting the help of The Wiggles to remix his new song 'Rodeo'.

People on social media were blown away by the possible collaboration, with one person tweeting: "Please don't let this be a joke man. I want this so bad rn."

Another added: "Now I really wanna hear Lil Nas singing 'fruit salad'."

It will be interesting to see whether the rapper wants to enlist the current lineup of The Wiggles, or reunite the old school gang once more. It might be tougher to recruit the OG lineup, though, considering what happened when they performed together last month.

Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Greg Page, and Jeff Fat did a nostalgic set in Sydney for a bushfire appeal fundraiser. Everything was going smoothly until yellow Wiggle Greg Page suffered a cardiac arrest on stage.

Thankfully for 48-year-old Greg, there was an off-duty nurse in the crowd who performed CPR on him until he could be transported to hospital.
