I am a 61 year old Womble.......I remember seeing them on Wonderama, a NYC TV show with Bob McAllister that was directed at kids....and they had the Wombles on one show.....I loved them....but then they slipped from memory until now! Love the Wombles!
Bernard was really an actor and a regular Jackanory storyteller though he didn't read any of the Wombles books for Jackanory as these stories were actually told by a slightly younger man called Ronald Hines.
I was just talking to a friend of mine that there are many old school children's songs that can be much better than tons of adult songs from today and this was a great example.
mike batt im sure is very proud to have sat down and wrote the song and i was born in 1974 i dont remember this song but remembered this years later richard
When i was 16 me and my friend lived together and the only music we had was all the Adam and the Ants singles, 3 David Bowie albums, the Cowboy Killers press and run like hell, the Hair musical and The Wombles Album. Good times
I've been a Womble since I was 9 years old when this bangin' choon took the charts by storm in 1974. Unfortunately these days I struggle to bend down to 'Womble up the rubbish and put it in the bin' 😄
Love the violining on this... makes me think of The Snowman for some reason when some of the snowmen/snowwomen are dancing in kilts and one of them is playing a violin, whilst the rest are all dancing around in the snow!! Such a fun, up-beat song... love it!
I can play violin and possess perfect pitch. This theme tune is in G major, changing to A major. The Wombles - a major part of my childhood and Bernard Cribbins. I turn 53 in a fortnight!
Akkora slager volt, hogy meg a Tanczenei koktel es az 5 Orai tea is gyakran jatszotta 1974 es '75 ben. Ennek ellenere csak 2007 ben sikerult megtalalnom egy peldanyt a Polus Centerben. 25 szamos Best of volt. Alig hittem a szememnek, mert csak 800 ft ba kerult!
OMG I became a real life Womble that's why I pick glass bottles up when I see them on the street or an old lamp to fix now I know hehehe too funny RIP the lovely Bernard Cribbens

Fantastic orchestration by Mike Batt and his session men. A well-deserved hit.
Madame Cholat rocks..
Mike had a great voice

Remembering Bernard Cribbins. RIP 💜
Wobbles Was my childhood and brings back so many memories.

Written by a v talented classically trained musician....probably helped!
I was born when the wombles were already around 3 years
One of my first memories along with rainbow 😊
Same! I was born in 1991. I remember the likes of Rainbow, Play Days, Tots TV, Rosie & Jim, Snooty, Mr Blobby & the Wombles.
Don't make em anymore 😥
mike batt im sure is very proud to have sat down and wrote the song and i was born in 1974 i dont remember this song but remembered this years later richard
Takes me back to childhood. And can still remember the words to all their songs!☺️
Me too 🤩
Remember You’re a Womble…Such a positive childhood soundtrack!
The most influential band ever. My favorite. The Wombles.
Very inventive song, a masterpiece but then composer Mike Batt is a genius.
No composer and producer is better than Mike Batt!

Mike Batt - Womble legend... born from Southampton... ✊
Takes me back to more innocent days when I was a kid growing up. Awesome.
Sat watching my 4 year old Granddaughter dance to this and my 13 year old Grandson singing along. Happy times.
Still a classic 2023 ❤
"Remember-member-member what a Womble-Womble-Womble you are!" Awesome memories of a really special show. Thank you, Wombles!
How I wish I was born around the time The Wombles were in the charts and on TV
Kayleigh Natasha Legend has it they’re still wombling to this day.
I loved watching the Wombles when I was a kid. This is so freakin awesome 👌

Yes.Lets party.
I can play violin and possess perfect pitch. This theme tune is in G major, changing to A major. The Wombles - a major part of my childhood and Bernard Cribbins. I turn 53 in a fortnight!
greatest song ever!!
Although I’m a 90s girl, I love the Wombles. RIP Bernard Cribbins💔
Awesome song. Wombling into 2020.
Wombling into an absolute shit storm…
Awesome then and now! Wellington was my fave!
My favourite record as a kid !
This was an accomplished and financially ascute composer dumbing down a bit, but to our benefit!
wow..they haven't aged one bit
LoL

STONE COLD classic!
That's a pretty metal setup they've got: double bass drums, 6-string bass, and a Flying V? Dang!
Mike Batt.
Not so batty afterall
Horns from Bach's Hunt Cantata, strings by Vivaldi, written and arranged by the excellent Mike Batt.
I have been a womble my whole life, and just realised it. I thought I was perhaps a tinker, but I'm deffo more "womble".
@WomblesWimbledon cool, shame all the great shows had to end
Saw a wobble today haha had to show my baby the song 😂
FIRST CLASS !
No escuchaba esta canción desde mi niñez.
I'm a Womble 😊😊

First to remember.
Second to remember #NeverForgettobeaWomble

I was Bummed by a Womble in 1975
Was probably Cliff Richard inside? 🤔🎶
Oh dear
@@Eltonlaleham It was Great Uncle Bulgaria.
When was this video recorded? It looks very modern for a Wombles video.
It was filmed in 2011, to promote the Wombles upcoming appearance at Glastonbury.
"This was, almost certainly, the best song Mike Batt ever recorded. Which is a bit like saying that the best car British Leyland ever made was the Triumph Stag"
He did seem good stuff, including many for others.
Oh yes legendary ha ha

Personal Jesus was written by English band, Depeche Mode.

Rip Bernard Cribbins 💔
Remember That You're A Womble Today ;)
@WomblesWimbledon Woah, but good on them
The violin hook sounds like it's been lifted from The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. Not complaining, mind.

Even the womble's could sing way far better than the crap that's in the chart's of today.
