The children’s TV hit just got heavier IDLES have shared their take on ‘Stick Song!’, a children’s TV hit from CBeebies show Hey Duggee . Just days before they’re set to headline Glastonbury , the Bristolian band have revamped the song just in time for a new episode of the show called ‘The Carrot Badge’. The episode is a homage to music festivals and the summer solstice, featuring cartoon rabbits prepping for the Carrot Solstice, and will air on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer on the June 28 – just days after IDLES will appear on the Other Stage at Worthy Farm .
The original version of ‘Stick Song!’ is a certified kids’ TV classic, currently on 17 million YouTube views. The entire Hey Duggee series has garnered over 3billion views and remains one of the most popular children’s TV series, with the new guitar version likely to win over both children and parents – you can watch the video below. The ultimate #Glastonbury / CBeebies crossover you never knew you needed!! Honestly can't believe I get to say this, but IDLES x HEYDUGGEE: Stick Song is out now, and brand new Carrot Badge is on BBC iPlayer on Friday! 🥕 https://t.
