Australian swimmer Libby Trickett shares very relatable mum moment in hilarious new video
The mum-of-five shared a clip of herself on Thursday driving while the nursery rhyme Five Little Ducks is playing.
The four-time Olympic gold medallist captioned the funny footage, 'POV: This is now the theme song of your life.'
The video features the remixed version of Five Little Ducks by The Wiggles and DJ and producer Lenny Pearce.
Pearce — twin brother of Purple Wiggle John Pearce — has found fame for remixing classic children's songs into techno tunes.
He collaborated with The Wiggles on an EDM (electronic dance music) remix album titled The Wiggles Sound System: Rave of Innocence.
Trickett also captioned the post, 'On. Repeat.' with a list of hilarious hashtags including #quackquackquackquack #wiggleshavegonefulldoofdoof.
Parents and grandparents left comments revealing they too could relate to the realities of parenting, which comes with having to listen to their child's favourite song on repeat!
'Anything for peace in the car,' one person said.
'Oh I remember those days!! We had to play The Wiggles and so many times I would get all the way home, after dropping them at kindy, before I even realised I was still listening to them!,' another shared.
'It's a vibe,' one followed added.
Trickett and her husband, Luke, welcomed their fifth child, Archie, on April 3.
The couple are already parents to Poppy, 9, Edwina, 7, Bronte, 5, and Alfred, 1.
After the birth of baby number five, Trickett said: 'The shape of our family is now complete.'
Alongside clips from her Sportish podcast, Trickett's social media is filled with regular updates of her life with her growing family.
On Wednesday, Trickett shared an open letter about motherhood for World Breastfeeding Week.
'Archie is super lucky that he's baby number five and my boob is basically just a tap that he doesn't have to do much for as he's got a weak little suck. But it works for us right now,' Trickett shared, honestly.
'All that is to say, that overall, breastfeeding can be really challenging. It can be really weird, and it can be special. All of those things are true.
'Whatever the journey looks like for you is going to be different to others. I used to feel bad that I wasn't just so in love with breastfeeding, but now I know that it doesn't actually matter.
'I'm doing it in the way that works for me and works for the team mate/baby I have because as well, each team is different.'I don't know how much longer we'll do it for, I'm proud of what my body is doing to build my child AND I also know that ultimately when our time is done, fed is best.'

'A proper f****** rock band': Chrissie Hynde had the best time seeing Oasis live with pal Johnny Marr
Chrissie Hynde says the Oasis Live '25 Tour is "exactly what the world needs right now". The Pretenders frontwoman attended one of the Britpop legends' Wembley Stadium gigs with old bandmate Johnny Marr, and also bumped into supermodel Kate Moss - who, she says, "missed her calling" as a singer. Updating fans on Instagram , she penned: 'James and I went with @johnnymarrgram to see @oasis the other week. They were great as one would expect.' Praising support act Richard Ashcroft, she said: 'Saw a bunch of old pals in the audience and was dancing with Kate Moss to support act, the excellent voiced @richardashcroftofficial." She continued: 'I always remind Kate that she missed her calling, and could've been a singer. She reminded me that, 'For me, it was either Woolworths or modelling.' Because Kate rarely does interviews (unlike every other celebrity on the planet) people don't know what a riot she is. Well, she is, and now you know…' Moving on to the main event, the 73-year-old rocker hailed the Supersonic hitmakers - who are playing their first concerts in 16 years, after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher put their long-standing feud behind them - "a proper f****** rock band". She said: 'Oasis were in great form. 'There is still nothing better than a rock band doing their thing with a minimal light show and no extra people cluttering the stage. In other words, a proper f****** rock band! Exactly what the world needs now.'

'That's leader behaviour': Former PM spotted taking on a surprising job
Drivers in a busy Sydney car park were surprised to find an unusual guide for exiting traffic - former prime minister Tony Abbott. Mr Abbott was filmed holding the boom gate of an underground car park open with one hand as he waved cars through with the other. The Pitt Street car park was reportedly battling congestion when the former PM decided to assist. It is unclear when the footage was filmed, but since was shared to the Instagram account Humans of Eastwood Daily, it quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments. "From budgie smuggler to car smuggler, a man of many talents," one person replied. Another said she was impressed, "that's leader behaviour". "He was always a worker. Bushfire CFA volunteer, surf lifesaver, he did a lot more civil service than most pollies," said another. Mr Abbott is well known for jumping in at times of crisis, in a personal capacity, including volunteering with the NSW Rural Fire Service. During the Black Summer bushfires he was seen working to save homes. Despite the good deed, others could not look past the 28th prime minister's other endeavours. "Remember the time he ate an onion," one quipped. Another said it was the "best thing Tony Abbott's done".

Entourage star's rude label for Perth after recent visit
Best known for his work as no-filter film agent Ari Gold in HBO's Entourage, TV star Jeremy Piven has proven he hasn't quite shaken the character after labelling Perth the 'meth capital of Australia'. Attending the premiere of his latest film Primitive War in Sydney on Monday night, Piven was pushed to name his 'favourite place' Down Under after an extended period touring his stand-up show. But the comic's initial remarks were far from complimentary, at least towards the west coast. 'In the middle of my tour, we headed over to Perth, which is the meth capital of Australia... I don't know if you know that,' he told DailyMail. 'And so in the spirit of Donald Trump, I want to rename Perth, 'Merth'. The 60-year-old performed at Mt Lawley's Astor Theatre on August 6, following an East Coast jaunt that featured stops in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, and later Adelaide. Jeremy Piven has been performing in Australia in recent weeks.

'The reality is, I went to a cigar bar called The Social Club there and it was one of the best cigar lounges I've ever been to in my life,' he revealed. The two-time Emmy winner may have been referring to Cigar Social, a private, members-only cigar lounge in West Perth. PerthNow reached out to Cigar Social, with the venue choosing not confirm nor deny Piven's attendance. Speaking more broadly about his stand-up tour, the actor reflected on the warm reception he'd received across the nation. 'Every stop that I had, whether it was the Enmore Theatre here in Sydney or going to Melbourne and playing Hamer Hall, they were some of the best times I've ever had in my life,' he said. 'Sold out houses... It was just incredible. I loved it.' Jeremy Piven stars in Numbered Lives. Credit: Jeremy Piven / Instagram The actor stars alongside Australia's Ryan Kwanten and Canadian Tricia Helfer in Primitive War, a horror film set amid the Vietnam War that was filmed in the Gold Coast's jungle. It follows Piven's other Aussie production Numbered Lives, a thriller shot in South Australia last year that was released nationally earlier this month.
