Put them on as a surprise swap for U2 and see how long it takes anyone to notice?

[Laura_Babs]

Great, I think it would be quite funny!

[ampersand]

some wounds run deep !!!

will get over it when the truth is out

[LondonTom]

There's a time and a place, though eh? Not a wombles thread.

[WS_Jack_III]

wait are they just gonna do the same song over and over for an hour?

[Jamie D]

I had to check the date when I saw that. No, it is not April the 1st.

The Wombles would be fun but do not in any way belong on the Pyramid stage.

[LusciousLucy]

What is the point of having this 'band' play Glastonbury? I'm almost 32 and I barely remember them as a kid (I had a tape with the Wombling Song on it in the mid 80s and knew it was dated even then). The demographic for the festival is a lot younger than that these days and I'm pretty sure thousands of punters wouldnt have the first clue who or what this would be about.

Just put Rolf on...again!

[BlackHole2006]

I dont think that will be allowed!

[jamseyboy]

Your right.

I shouldn't use f**k and The Wombles in the same sentence.

And for this I apologise

[Funkyfairy!]

As a (young) child I had a wombles pillowcase and loved em - would be a laff

Although I always thought they were chavs

The wombles of Wimbledon common are we (a line from one of their songs) as a child I didn;t know there was a Wimbledon common, so put a comma in there and always thought the line was

the wombles of wimbledon,

Common are we

Presumably Bernard Cribbins would also make an appearance? Maybe this will be where Brian May appears on guitar and Robert plant on vocals!

[WS_Jack_III]

I know you're a young lad, and you obviously still have a lot to learn.

I think the idea of Roy Wood coming on stage for a Womble Jam is simply amazing.

[5co77ie]

Ummmmm, I'm embarrassed to say that I seem to know rather more of those than could ever be considered in any way cool or something to be proud of

Bring on The Wombles I say ! Maybe we could have Pinky and Perky as support as well, they do a spanking cover of Yellow Submarine and shedloads of other totally awesome stuff I even have a copy of the album containing said awesome stuff on Ye Olde Vinyl somewhere ... from the days when Ye Olde Vinyl playing at 33rpm was relatively shiny and new and I wasn't allowed to get close to never mind actually use the record player I hasten to add

Oh nooooooooooo ! I don't believe it ! Yellow Submarine isn't available on good old youtube So you'll just have to check out the almost as awesome cover of Chubby Checker's "Let's Twist Again" instead:
