This is what I used to love about the 70's. What were deemed as novelty acts could have a successful record and everyone would accept them as being just part and parcel of what made up the charts and go along with the overall frivolity. No-one, (except the few music snobs), went out of their way to dismiss them, and went along with the fun involved, chanting the main chorus line.

Back in the day my dad, who was a teacher of English in Germany, brought back a LP with songs from the Wombles from his school exchange travel to the UK. Me and my little sister, both primary school of age, were immediately flashed by this song from our first listen, and from then we played it day and night. Nobody else in our small German town, except from our family, had ever heard of the existence of the Wombles. Thanks for the upload! Brings back my memories ...

Remember, we didn't have computers or the internet or KZitem back then. I was really into this song, and the Beach Boy style Wombling Summer Party song when I played the album. I still have it in my collection, and as I got older, I'm still listening to it today!
