The Wombles: Womble Of The Universe (in which Orinoco dreams he is an astronaut) [1974]
from the album Keep On Wombling
words & music by Mike Batt
Hearing the music from this mid-'70s UK children's television show again brings back a flood of memories for me -- memories of August 2006, when I was introduced to this song via Waxidermy (big thanks to Alan).
Vocals / sax: Orinoco
Lead guitar: Wellington
Bass guitar: Madame Cholet
Violin: Great Uncle Bulgaria
Drums: Bungo
"Are you never coming down now?"
I heard everyone say
"If you want to come down,
You know it's okay."
