…what?
I was at the very first Glastonbury concert. Saw Traffic and Melanie and a movie about Hendrix who had died not long before.
I’ve never even seen the Wombles (as a bona-fide American) but one mention of the word and I’ve immediately got the Wombling Song stuck in my head.
Underground, overground, wombling free, the Wombles of Wimbledon, common are we…
My usual desire to go to Glastonbury is ever intensified by the thought that I might get a chance to witness their musical genius in person.
By the way, it’s Wimbledon Common, not Wimbledon, common. Wimbledon Common is a common area of parkland where the Wombles are supposedly based. IIRC the Wombles got their name from the mispronunuciation as “Wombledon Common” by the author’s children.
I have never been to the Glastonbury Festival, but I should have thought that The Wombles would fit the spirit of the thing much better than Beyonce.
It was the wombles who caused me to begin to suspect that guests on Top of the Pops might be miming.
Oh, I had no idea! I assumed it was the common Womble, like the common badger or something like that.
The Wombles suck now, anyway - they’ve gone all mainstream.
I liked them much better when they were underground.
