The Wombles - Wombling Songs




We all know what Wimbledon is best known for, and here they are on their own LP..

Contains the full version of the theme tune so grab it quick. This didn't have their best known song 'Remember You're a Womble' on it, so I've included it as a bonus track for you listening pleasure.

The Wombles never made it big in the US unfortunately, as 'The Wombles of Davis Cup Common' didn't have the same ring to it.

The Wombles have since gone their separate ways - Great Uncle Bulgaria died of TB in 1983 and Madame Cholet was torn apart by the hounds of the Hertfordshire Hunt whilst doing a daytime TV cookery spot in 1987. Bungo still has success however - he taught David Blain everything he knows.



2019 update - I have since discovered the work of Canadian rock band Klaatu; the vocals of which sound uncannily like the Wombles. Oh Cribbins!

  1. Was this ripped from vinyl? The crackling is insane.
