Are they naked from the waist down? what happens if one of them gets a hard-on?

[electo99]

do wombles have loose heads have a look at the drummer at 2.55

but he keeps well in time with the backing music

[Neptuneman07]

This is just fantastic.

[alvarobcneto]

Oh my fucking GOD, Im from Brazil and here no one ever even listen about the Wombles and even on the net is hard to find wombles stuff.

Im VERY HAPPY for your upload thank you very much dude!!

@alvarobcneto I am an unemplyed womble. Nobody loves us anymore. We had to move from wimbledon. I loved the 70's. People loved us then. Keep wombling.

@steveyhornster Wombles are back May 2011. Catch them on tour around Xmas time ;-)

[Wolfrover]

@alvarobcneto Easier than you think. In addition to the official Wombles website (check the Wikipedia article for a link at the bottom), there are a lot of nostalgia and fan sites out there. Look for The Tidy Bag and Wombles Burrow, among others.

metal rock gods

One of the Wombles wrote Pretty Vacant, recorded of course by The Sex Pistols.

[TheBoggartsbreakfast]

@hanscarter glad im not the only one who knew that ;)

[revjimbob]

@hanscarter

Bollocks.

Chris Spedding produced early Pistols demos, and I believe he played on the Wombles records.

He did not write Pretty Vacant.

Being a Yank I didn't discover the Wombles until about 1983 when I was working in college radio, but this was my favorite song by them. Man, Noel Edmonds must have weighed about 90 lbs.

[johnstonsimon]

He can fly

He can swim

He's a hero

He's got x-ray siiiiiiiight.

Classic

Looks like he could do with losing a few pounds though. :)

[TheMikey1961]

CLASSIC whatever happened to The Wombles :-)

[revjimbob]

@TheMikey1961

They got hunted to extinction in the late 70s - the fur was highly sought after, though the meat was a bit gamey.

[TheMikey1961]

@revjimbob Actually, they survived and are playing Glasonbury :-)

[gurtygurt64]

I think they're drunk.

[punditpete]

Classic hard rocking tune.

[EllyRandom53]

will every1 get it into thier heads that wombles r REAL CREATURES?????????????

[633squadrongoodwin]

@EllyRandom53 I can confirm that is true,last week I saw Orinoco and Tober morey being chased by a herd of Haggis.

[IonSpringfield]

Yes, it is Steeleye Span in those furry suits. Mike was producing them at the time and didn't have time to schedule the usual gang of session people so he prevailed upon them to do the show.

[RobinCarmody]

Oh, and it says on - ahem - the Manchester Evening News website that it's actually Steeleye Span (who'd themselves be in the Top 5 by year's end with a Mike Batt production) dressed up as the Wombles here.

[Poopaloo55]

NO!!!!! Really? That's hilarious if it's true.

Wimbledon Common was never the same after this, lol!!!!

[RobinCarmody]

At the time, there even used to be ads on London buses proclaiming "picnic in the open air and take a Womble sandwich there". A better slogan than this is a song, I'll grant you.
