1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: This is jam Nation with Jonesy.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: You're watching my singer, you will know who the zombie was.

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: Here's a zombie singing.

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: What the hell my singing?

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: Here?

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: What a beautiful voice? So good head came off.

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: It was former Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins joins us. Now, Hello, Emma.

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 3: Hello, Hi, what about you?

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: I sort of picked you in that I could hear

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: the voice.

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 4: I could hear the and now that I know it

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 4: was you, but hearing it back again, I can pick

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 4: it that it's you.

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: And I couldn't. I couldn't change my voice enough because

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: I was too worried about the singing. And I can

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: just hear myself so clearly in all of the songs.

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: Now, maybe you should have dropped there that put the

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 4: F bomb in that song, because it's got a it's

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 4: got an F bomb in there.

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: You know that.

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: I'm glad I wasn't given that first.

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 4: Now, imagine that if you went and imagine if you

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 4: went and swore in the song, that would faces would

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: fall off.

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: No good, no good, not me.

27
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: You've got a new character, Emma, Memma. Actually we've got

28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: some audio here from Emma. Member she's dropping the M bomb.

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: Come on and sign.

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: Join me in the music story time.

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: That's tell us about Emma Mema.

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: Well, Emma Mema has been, I guess born out of

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: my research project. And I'm studying sign language, dance and

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: film integration at University at Racora UNI, And I guess

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: this has come from a lot of that, a lot

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: of those findings about visual communication systems for children. And

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: essentially I didn't think that I would maybe start this

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: project this quickly because I like.

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: It Emma Memo.

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: When it starts out, it's pretty much Emma Memo mem

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 4: And I thought it might be a little bit.

42
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Of a hot potato situation.

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 4: You mean, well, hot potato is just hot potato, hot potato, potato,

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: potato potato. Although it's true that Greg Wiggle actually forgot

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 4: the lyrics to it at one stage.

46
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: He did, poor Greg, And it's easy to do. I

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: have been on stage where Lockie has forgotten the lyrics.

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Where does it go wrong? Is it's potato potato potato?

49
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: Just forget where you're up to, where.

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: And what happens to you? All look at each other

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: and the others carry you along.

52
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 3: I think we get lost in it as well. So

53
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: you know, many times as ended up in laughter. That's

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: for sure.

55
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Lucky you'd never sung The Wreck of the Edmunds Fitzgerald eighteen.

56
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: Verses we get stuck.

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: It's interesting. I mean, you said last night that you

58
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: grew up as a dancer, but it wasn't til you

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: joined Wiggles you realize you could sing, and yet you

60
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: have the most extraordinary voice.

61
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 3: Well, I thank you. That's very kind. It's not something

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: that I feel naturally aligned to. I just don't. I

63
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: just tend to want to move my body a lot

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: more and express myself using my body, and I think

65
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: that's why I really enjoyed learning sign language for many,

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: many years. But you know, singing was really I was

67
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: obviously encouraged during performing art school, but it wasn't really

68
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: my whole day.

69
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: I think you were fantastic. Do you have any idea

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: who the other singers are? I know that they don't

71
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: tell you, but do you have an inkling like say Popcorn,

72
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 4: for example? Do you have an idea of who Popcorn is?

73
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: More my no, no, But I'm really frustrated with not

74
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: knowing who mirror Ball is. Because I got to touch

75
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: her shoulder, all I knew was that she was amazing,

76
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm just going to be here

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: is your backup bit if you weren't allowed to talk

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: to each other. So in my head I was like,

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: who are you? And I just couldn't figure it out.

80
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: So when you touched her shoulder, did you get a vibe?

81
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: Was it a sturdy shoulder, was it a slenders shoulder?

82
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: Delicate?

83
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Delicate shoulder?

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: It was delicate and she was, you know, gesturing to

85
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: me on the stage. We were like blowing kisses to

86
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: each other and I was like, who is this? And

87
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: now watching the show, I still can't figure out who

88
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: it is.

89
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they say also there's a couple of Grammy

90
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: Award winners in there, So there's a couple of professional singers.

91
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, her voice is amazing. Who is this?

92
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: Mirror ble?

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: But forget them. It's all about you, Emma. It's all

94
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: about what you do in the future. And the mastering

Speaker 4: and Emma, Memma, you can catch her?

97
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: Where can we see Emma memorat Well.

Speaker 3: you can tune in there.

104
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: And what does Emma Member actually wear.

105
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: She's got an orange dress. It's a really bright orange

106
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: dress with a pink shirt or a coral shirt. And

107
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: she has butterfly clips in her hair.

108
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: Because that was one of the clues. Is it about

109
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: being orange? I think I thought you might have been

110
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: a raj niche.

111
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 3: Well, when I was younger, my first ever job was

112
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: actually to dress up as a giant orange for an

113
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: orange blossom festivals. Yeah, and so it's definitely been a

114
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: color that I've worn a lot.

115
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: So you were just a big, round orange.

116
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, huge, like you could only move your hands like.

117
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: It was just hilarious, perfect training for Mark Singer.

118
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: That's so you're just little head on top of an orange.

119
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, that's it.

120
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 4: Wow.

121
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: And you wouldn't have given anyone on the pip sorry,

122
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: no one would have told you to piece off swear

123
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: at Emma.

124
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,599

125
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: mean she's changed. She's got to turn into Kurt Kabayne
