Unsurprisingly, I like it - a lot! But I can't figure out which 1976 song this is?

It's The Wurzels - The Combine Harvester and they've actually listened to it!

It was a bit of an experiment - I wanted to prove that you can 'act' anything but I'm a proper fan and I have their rock cover albumn (where they country-up the rock classics).

Here's the song I covered.

I new the melody from Melanie's "Brand New Key," but I wasn't hip to these lyrics. Not to be adolescent but that's about the greatest opening line I've ever heard.

Really lovely take on this. You made it almost romantic.

Hehe... very good. What a surprise that was. That is a very strange mixture of comedy and wistfulness. Very original Hillary!
