The Wiggles, the children's music group, took on Tame Impala's "Elephant" for Triple J's Like a Version on 5 March 2021, and the cover went all the way, winning the station's Hottest 100 of 2021.

The song itself belongs to Kevin Parker, who released it in July 2012 as Tame Impala's first single from Lonerism, their second album. It was one of the oldest songs he had, left in the vaults until the band played it at a sound check and agreed it belonged on the record, and its bluesy riffing made it the odd one out on Lonerism, a holdover from the era of the self-titled EP. Parker has since admitted he was surprised at how far the track went.
