Monday mood? Bette Davis. With a gun.
Sigh. Here we go again. Back to the office, too soon, too soon...
Never mind all that! Let's take a little timeslip back half-a-century to 1974, the year in which Queen, Abba, Cockney Rebel, Barry White, The Three Degrees and Leo Sayer first made it big in our charts, Glam Rock hit its peak, Bay City Rollers-mania went completely OTT, Soul music began its earliest transition to Disco - and a cosy stop-motion children's animation series based upon Elisabeth Beresford's books gave birth...
...to this! How very apt for a Tacky Music Monday:
Gulp.
[Bizarrely, the band was revived for an appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in 2011!]
Have a good week, dear reader.
I loved The Wombles - though not so much in 2011!
ReplyDeleteThey sound a bit like the Bay City Rollers.
Sx
Didn't every band sound a bit similar back then? I mean, Glam Rock was really only a bit of a nod back to 1950s doo-wop and rock'n'roll, only with more makeup, glitter and sequins... Jx
DeleteOh dear god. I don’t remember member member ever being a Womble.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very British thing. There's no equivalent I can think of in the US... Jx
DeleteWell, we did have The Banana Splits. They came out with a horror movie in 2019!
DeleteI thought about mentioning The Banana Splits - but they were anarchic, chaotic and psychedelic; everything that The Wombles were not... Jx
DeleteFascinating bit of pop trivial. :) Hope your day was fine and you made it back home, sanity intact.
ReplyDeleteAs close to sanity as I ever get! Jx
DeleteA blast from the past and I remember that we you to drink with Madame Cholet back in the olden days.
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember "Madam Cholet", pissed at the bar! Jx
