The Wurzels - Combine Harvester (Brand New Key) [totp2]

[Video] The Wurzels - Combine Harvester (Brand New Key) [totp2] (Wiggy St Helens UK 2008)

[@rogerkelley7924]

I am a Texan, and today a friend in Hull posted a video of the Wurzels, and I think they would do well touring in Texas.

[@lekarzkto]

Do you have combine harvesters in Texas?

[@michaelharrison8036]

​Yes I can testify that I've seen them In Texas, that is.!​@@lekarzkto

[@willis2492]

They’re still going strong today

[@top2percent]

That tuba player is super talented. I wish I could play a brass instrument without blowing into it.

[@christinehaworth4924]

You would be very talented as that isn't a tuba. It's a sousaphone.

[@maroondoor]

I can play my piccolo without touching it!

[@crazycockneycats9205]

@@maroondoorso funny

[@RW-nr6bh]

Bob Geldoff could play a candelabra.

[@neilt7145]

Back in the day on Top of the Pops they all mimed and didn't really play the instruments

[@aaron1143]

Imagine if this was played on radio one today. I'd love the reaction it would get. Proper educational stuff for the young ones 🙂

[@thegranddilligaf]

I remember when John Peel used to present his show. He'd play Napalm Death or Boltthrower then follow it with Mongolian throat music and then the Wedding Present. Quite possibly where my taste in music comes from- listen to it first then make your mind up.

[@Akco007]

I prefer when it was kinky boots personally

[@arcaears]

DJ Yoda included this in his Radio One Essential Mix, it was how I found out about the Wurzels, been a fan since!

[@Urko2005]

Still a cult following down here in Cornwall.

[@Sara_Kane]

@@thegranddilligaf John Peel was a legend. I've got a very wide-ranging musical taste too. Oh, and apparently Bill Steer from Carcass is a big Wurzels fan. lol

[@derekchapman6159]

The Wurzels are the best band and a somerset legend to be proud of. Great family entertainment. Proper job

No one can go through life without having heard this song once or at least the main chorus line! xxx

I came here after hearing it on BBC Radio 2!

As a fellow linguistics student, I can believe that.

[@factorylad5071]

Do you think there's anything else he can do to a tractor?

[@factorylad5071]

@James Hodson that had me rolling over. If there is anything funnier than a Wurzels guitar lesson , it has to be AH speech to the Krupp's Factory.

[@elitexazrael6584]

@Thrawn368 it’s a sousaphone I think

[@coralbitten2315]

One day lad all this will be yours... What the curtains 😂😂

I saw them in Babbacombe in the late 70s I must have been about 8 or 9. Got a cassette signed after, they were lovely. Happy memories.....

[@duncanllawson7418]

[@Foxys1974]

I was 2, I remember it being on TOTP! And I’ve loved this and them all 45 years since! X

[@stefanm.734]

2:47 Nice to see that even in 1976 people were complaining about exactly the same things we do today.

[@jack0609]

No drugs No strippers No politics Just cider and combine harvesters

[@mattanthony2277]

Proper scrumpy is something of a shock to the system..if they had some, I guarrantee they are not seeing the world as it truly is.

[@carleyadair2775]

This song always makes me smile.its nearly a year since I last heard it.

Ooh arr that bist gert lush music reminds me of the best part of england the west country that i loves n miss oooohhh aaarrr

The magic tuba which plays by itself

[@bailertwine1]

All top the pops was mimed...Classic was Julian Lenon who stopped moving his lips..

[@Darwinsmom]

Any other Newfoundlanders who came here to relive happy musical moments from home? All of my Newfie kin LOVED these guys as much as I did!

[@gommechops]

The humoir of this song was great as a kid. There were nuanced layers of gentle comedy permeating our lives back then that are now sorely lacking in these 'improved' times.

[@syrusbaker8934]

I totally forgot how much I enjoy this song ☺️

[@somersettim]

Glasgow born, Somerset bred...God bless Adge & the Wurzels!💚🎵x

[@adambattersby8934]

Adge isn't in that video. He died in 1974.

[@adambattersby8934]

The guy on the accordion is Scottish, from Penicuik.

"Combine this with Blur and you get - The Blurzels "I lives on a farm, a bloody gert farm. in the country" " -Mick Taylor

I saw them in Devon they were brilliant...whole place was oooh aaarrring!!!

[@christopherdean1326]

I used to work in a timber yard in east London. The yard manager was from the west country, so we naturally called him "Wurzel". Great bloke, hope he's doing well.

[@fragrancialima]

I just asked GA (Google Assistant) what's her favourite song, and she answer Combine Harvester! I thought okay let's play it! That's why I'm here noww, can't believe GA has better taste in music than me😜😂🤣

[@NorthEastTrailRunner]

This was number one in the charts in 1976 when I was born.

[@FishpondsLady]

You're luckier than I am. First of April 1976 (a terrible date to be born on) and to just rub it in further "Save all your kisses for me" by Brotherhood of Man was number 1. How I hate that song. I mean they're no Abba.

[@montgomeryrichard]

I met them on a film set at about this time. Was shocked one spoke with a strong Scottish accent, So now your secret is out after all these years!

[@markdisley1784]

My old man loved the Wurzels, went to see em at the Anchor pub back in the 70s. Good old times.

[@robertsollory7475]

Two years after Adges death they topped the charts. He would have been so proud.

the absolute genius of making 'ooh argh, ooh argh' a lyric.

[@mojopin70]

opened a show for these guys near chepstow in 2000 , as a duo with the drummers son in law..classic love it...

[@binghamguevara6814]

You can’t say the word ‘combine’ without thinking the word ‘harvester’ because of this song. That’s how much this parody has influenced the English language.

[@alansmithee419]

Parody?

[@joaohenrique03]

half life 2

[@livedandletdie]

I think there's some need to spread some seeds in the field. Or we'll never find a use for the combine harvester.

[@nataIieatbest]

@@alansmithee419 it’s a parody of “brand new key” by melanie

[@Evanthestrange]

I just realized that none of them were actually playing their instruments.

[@l_j_c_5397]

Yeah it's because they were not allowed to on top of the pops

[@goodmania23]

nobody ever played their instruments on ToTP and they all mimed

[@mikiex]

@@goodmania23 New Order played live once :) It depends on the year, but plenty of bands have done it.

[@metakarp_]

4 years ago, and the yogscast never stops sending people here. Ciaran (Beeran) sang this on the first karaoke night during 2017s Jingle Jam!

[@craigdutton6072]

Reminds always of my uncle Albert who was a farmer in Yorkshire 🍻plucked a few pheasants with him when I was a kid 👌

[@EmileJoulbert]

This song made sure Paul McCartney had to wait over a year for his first post-Beatles #1 single in Britain. [Silly Love Songs simply wasn't good enough...although it topped Billboard for five weeks!] Five years earlier he got his first #1 in America with...wait for it...Uncle Albert(Admiral Halsey)!

[@tcurry10se]

Andy Roddick should get a promotional fee for all the attention he's brining to The Wurzels. Thanks. Now I'll have this song in my head for a long time.

[@Urko2005]

Wurzels rock.

[@marcuskastanek7870]

63 acres and a brand new combine?!? That would be one hell of a loan

[@CHEEKYMONKEY1618]

Marcus Kastanek also, did it justify buying a brand new combine just for the 20 acres he already had ??? lol what's he harvesting ??

[@SniffMyDeadwax]

Many years ago I once sang I drove my tractor through you aystack laast noight, and my Aussie nurse colleague went ''Thats disgusting!!'' :D :D :D

The point is: he didn't buy the ch for himself...
