Tony Blackburn, who's already been mentioned, is one of the true radio legends. One of the original Radio Caroline pirates, and also the first DJ on BBC Radio 1, who opened the first ever show with The Move's Flowers in the rain ( I'm not sure if you know the song ) All of the kids in my school during the mid 70s knew all of the Wurzels songs by heart. They still make me smile now. Now then, you need to hear them do, I got a brand new combine harvester 😊

[@hanierfamily]

We have a video for Flowers In The Rain. Great stuff.

[@stevebolt7132]

I've seen the Wurzels over 30 times. They are great live and always do a fantastic show.

[@FSMusicLTD]

same countless times at a whole bunch of local festivals and events

[@FSMusicLTD]

Ah our local legends can't even tell you how many times I've seen them play just such a fun band to watch

[@RaceDayReplay]

THIS! If they come anywhere near anyone reading this get a ticket and go and see them play. Be quick though because they always sell out

[@colrhodes377]

The Wurzels are legendary. Their songs are a hoot

[@keithwatkins7908]

Now you are fans of the Wurzels, you could try "The Combine Harvester", a number one hit in the UK...LOL.

[@colrhodes377]

Yeah, you need to do that 😊

[@Packard63]

The Wurzels, the Wombles, the Muppets .......we had quite a range of novelty singles released in the 70's and at the time it seemed a perfectly normal and fun thing to happen.

[@Shaun.ALAW.]

And Tony Blackburn 'legend' still going strong on the BBC airways.

Hahaha Rough cider Kept underneath the bar from His Majesties Customs. It’s flat and cloudy. Usually sold to locals only and gives you the hangover from Hell!!!!! I can recommend the Rough cider from west Dorset. It’s lethal!

Not just a parody but an example of British folk/country music mixed with typical school playground humour in a pop style.

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

I’m gonna write this before I press play cos I’m very very familiar with it having heard it when it was in the charts AND having seen them at a local cider festival about 8 or so years ago - it’s Soooooooo phookin awful it’s tipped over the edge into being bloody fantastic and can’t fail to make most smile ( 🦉 ) .. well mostly 😀… hearing it once in a blue moon is fine .. hearing it more than that would get right on yer Bristols though 😉 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The one you are watching is a re-recording of the wurzels 1976 hit because it features bbc radio dj Tony Blackburn who in fact recorded a northern soul single himself called I’ll do anything she wants to under the name Lenny gamble

[@777petew]

In the 70s, Top of the Pops was a national institution, and a showcase for new groups. The public always wanted to see spoof/comedic records on there, and would go out and buy them. TOTP was really about fun rather than the more serious music. But the majority loved it.

[@CapraObscura]

Local legends 💪🏻🍻

[@togs0762]

Jeez!

[@Starburst_Candy]

The Wurzels were and probably still are such a fun band

[@stephenclarke2206]

Music like this featuring in the charts was why Punk was invented & what the Sex pistols etc. were so angry about

[@jonathancole833]

This was a re-make of the Wurzels' own 70s hit, so I suppose it's a parody of a parody. Frank Sidebottom did some interesting 'versions' of well-known hits, including the Sex Pistols' Anarchy In The UK, Panic by The Smiths, Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Mungo Jerry's In The Summertime. I haven't come across any KZbin reactions to Frank yet, so someone has to take the plunge...

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Their stock-in-trade were parodies, in this one they had a guest vocalist in Tony Blackburn who was a very well known British DJ from the '60s onwards, he even released a few records of his own over the years. All of 'The Wurzels' hits were fun like this one.

[@stephenclarke2206]

Interesting fact for you. The Wurzels have the same manager as The Stranglers.

[@martinwilby8942]

Try some latin quarter ,they had one big hit ,but their other stuff is well worth a listen like latin quarter model son

[@gilledwards9302]

Whilst the Wurzels are best known for their parodies, they started off as a serious folk group and their early songs, written by lead singer Adge Cutler, were often quite poignant - certainly not parodies. Sadly, Adge died in a car crash and the band then took a different, more commercial direction. Still fun but I miss the original line-up.

[@gilledwards9302]

If you like parodies, can I suggest Billy Connolly's version of D.I.V.O.R.C.E.?

Can we have the classic yokels album- Bob Flemings 20 Folking Folk Songs from The Fast Show. Oh that’s the best parody album ever!!!!

[@JungleTunes94]

I think the username was probably self deprecating and a dig at his own tastes. Wurzels have done a lot of good music but this seems like a charity song or something, in my experience the Greatest hits cd comes out at 9pm after an all day summer barbeque where everyone is wasted and proceeds to dance around the garden like fools till late, to be followed by some Chas & Dave + a medley of Madness

[@fredbettesworth5397]

Songs in other languages that you should definitely check out, anything by Plastic Bertrand. I know you did Ça plane pour moi but he's done loads of other songs to. Also other foreign artists (but they sing in English) Fools Garden from Germany, Three miles to Essex from Germany and The Stanfords from Belgium.

[@stephenclarke2206]

You seem to have reached some of british music of the 70's that is best forgotten about

[@catherinehaysthird]

if you want to do non-English language hits which were also big hits in Australia, you should try Falco's Der Kommissar, Plastic Bertrand's Ça Plane Pour Moi or Globos' Tinkabella Di Luna. After The Fire covered the Falco hit, but I have always liked Falco's original a lot more. You can also try Gloria by Umberto Tozzi. The song was covered and made big by Laura Branigan. Both versions were big hits in Australia. Just sayin'... I don't want to comment on this song. The name of the person that requested the song says it all.

[@nedeast6845]

All I remember from Australia was "Shaddup ya face"

@@nedeast6845 Add a few Rolf Harris and Frank Ifield records to your knowledge of Australian music and be on your way. As the lady said in the introduction, maybe you should expand your mind. There's more to music than novelty records. I'm a yokel from the midlands, but I can name some Australian bands from on top of my head. The obvious would be INXS, but I do remember liking The Sports, The Seekers, The Saints, Radio Birdman, The Church, Nick Cave, Crowded House, Silverchair, Easybeats, and Men At Work. There are many more but that will come to me later. My son has also introduced me to some great new acts from the land down under in recent years.

I enjoyed their first couple of parodies, but they were really scraping the barrel when it came to this take on a song I never liked to begin with. Check out Twice Daily by Adge Cutler and The Wurzels for an example of their more original, and probably funnier, material.
