Actually, I was quite disappointed with that. I was expecting them to have at least changed the lyrics to some hilarious story about having sex with bullocks. Instead, it's just a substandard cover.
I don't think the Wurzels can actually write songs to be fair, so just do funny bumpkin covers in their 'Scrumpy & Western' style
Oh ffs, I just remembered 'Combine Harvester' & thought they must have written that & off I go again on a long-winded fact-checking mission, bloody stim-enhanced ocd. Won't bore with details, but they did have a songwriter, who died after falling asleep at the wheel of his MGB sports car which then overturned on a roundabout approaching the Severn Bridge. He was returning alone from a Wurzels show in Hereford in May 1974. He is buried in Nailsea.
'Combine Harvester' was a re-working of someone else's song, so Fubar, you are correct, they could have fucking changed it a bit, point proven, case dismissed
Ever since Jarvis showed his arse when Michael (I'm not a paedo) Jackson was performing at the Brits, he's been a hero of mine. Plus they did some fuckin good tracks.
I was obsessed with Jarvis even before that and had a load of little fantasy stories about him going on in my head (Reminder to self that something I thought I'd stopped doing in teens, was actually still going on in my twenties, but dirtier & with more drugs)
He said something on the radio the other day though that slightly disappointed me about him (I haven't fantasised about him for decades, but still thought he was awesome) but I can't remember what it was, just deflated my little Jarvis-fan balloon slightly
Sorry, I'm going to stop waffling in this thread now......BACK TO THE MUSIC!
