Haven't we already done one?

Or is just that Chris Spedding has played on every record we've ever done a commentary of?

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Oh my God. What if they did a Prog album?

"The Myths And Legends Of King Merton Womble And His Journey To The Centre Of The Earth"

I want to do a Wombles album.

I feel whichever one had the biggest hits on it is the one we should do.

I think the known songs are spread across the first two albums. I'm wondering about creating both - as they're both short at just over 30mins - and we could do them weeks, if not months, apart.

First album:

"The Wombling Song (Television Version)" - 1:40
"Wombles Everywhere" (3:20)
"Exercise Is Good for You (Laziness Is Not)" - 2:30
"The Wombles' Warning" - 3:25
"Tobermory" - 3:35
"Dreaming in the Sun (Orinoco's Song)" - 4:10
"Madame Cholet" - 3:48
"Great Uncle Bulgaria's March" - 3:28
"Wellington Womble" - 3:50
"Bungo's Birthday" - 2:30
"Wombling Along (Link Piece)" - 0:48
"The Wombling Song (Full Version)" - 2:25

Second album:

Remember You're a Womble (Mike Batt, Chris Spedding) - 3:07
Minuetto Allegretto (Batt, Spedding) - 3:33
Non-Stop Wombling Summer Party (Batt, Spedding, Felicity White) - 4:00
Wombling in the Rain (Batt, Spedding, Paul Peterson) - 3:54
Womble Burrow Boogie (Batt, Spedding, Ian Hawkins) - 2:58
Side Two
Wellington Goes to Waterloo (Batt, Spedding, Edward Seymour) - 3:30
The Return of Cousin Yellowstone (Batt, Spedding, Richard Kelly) - 3:06
The Womble Square Dance (Batt, Spedding, Hawkins) - 3:12
Wimbledon Sunset (Interlude) (Batt) - 1:48
Banana Rock (Batt, Spedding, Seymour) - 3:16

Haven't we already done one?

Not this side of the new forum.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I'm going to go on YouTube, right now and launch a thread for an album by whichever band YouTube first recommends to me.

Let us see what the fickle finger of fudge fate comes up with.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

And the first band it's recommended is...

...

...

Mud!!!

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The second is The Eagles.

Flipping heck.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The third is Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The fourth is someone called The Cowsills.

I've no idea who that is but it's the first recommendation that we haven't already done and isn't ten hours long.

Therefore, that is the thread I shall launch.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I was going to launch a mini-thread for songs that sound like elephants but I could only think of two.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

John Glacier's Green Elephant Freestyle
Deradoorian - Dali's Elephant Caravan Melting Desert
Syd Barrett - Effervescing Elephant


Oh, SOUND like elephants.
