  1. One of the things I miss about the hellsite Xitter is stumbling across gems like this, from the legendary producer & songwriter Mike Batt. Luckily, somebody else pointed me to it, at x.com/Mike_Batt/status/2100982 .

    If you are some new pharaoh who knew not Joseph (i.e. some youngster born after ~1971), here's "Remember You're A Womble" youtube.com/watch?v=kDQJnym4S-U

  2. I mean, I am not mad about it, I just do not remember this happening #TOTP #TheWombles #RememberYoureAWomble

  3. Episode two with Jamie Theakston, the sort of speaking clock you *can* rely on.

    "My heart will go on" - Céline Dion

    The Wombles were interval entertainment at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. Céline Dion was interval entertainment at this year's event.

    Why was there a Wombles revival in 1998? There was a new animation series on ITV, and they were trying to reprise the tie-in merchandise from the mid-seventies.

  4. "Stop" - Spice Girls (rpt)

    "Remember you're a womble" - The Wombles

    Mumford and Sons were formed on Wimbledon Common, when Brian Mumford was around the Rushmere and invited the others to be in his band.

    Here's a song from the best band ever to come out of the Common.

  5. The Wombles - Wombling merry Christmas

    The stars of 1974 end their Imperial Phase with a festive glam rock slice.

    Mike Batt and his furries were denied the top spot by Mud, not that they cared. The explosive chords are spot-on, and the B-side ("Madam Cholet") is worth a listen.

    From the album "Keep on Wombling".

  7. It's #ChristmasEve, so our #Eurovision #festive tune has to be the biggest act of the 1974 Contest... Yep, it's #TheWombles and ' A Wombling Merry Christmas'! youtube.com/watch?v=DzAL9ELsFR

  8. Advent Calendar - 24 - The Wombles - Wombling Merry Christmas

    So … we come to one of my favourite Christmas songs, I have been singing its praises on social-media for a few years - not that I suspect anyone has noticed - but it’s a work of genius - the problem with it is that most people will probably shrug it off as a novelty song from a kids TV show.
