* CoverVersion: While most of their songs are affectionate parodies of other songs, some of their later material does consist of straight cover versions, most of which can be found on their albums ''Never Mind the Bullocks'' (2002) and ''A Load More Bullocks'' (2010). Most notable is their version of the Music/KaiserChiefs' "Ruby" -- in which the "ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah" refrain is replaced with "ooh-arr, ooh-arr, ooh-arr"!

Most obviously, "The Combine Harvester" is about a farmer who has just bought a brand new one of these machines. Meanwhile, "Farmer Bill's Cowman" starts by mentioning this trope by name:

The Wurzels are an English "Scrumpy & Western" band [[note]] the genre is actually named after their 1967 EP of that name[[/note]], hailing from Somerset in UsefulNotes/TheWestCountry. Founded in 1966 and originally known as Adge Cutler & The Wurzels, they are are best known for "The Combine Harvester", which got to #1 in the British charts in 1976. Their songs, often pastiches of songs from the folk, pop and rock genres, are characterised by many references to farming and cider, sung with a strong West Country accent while playing up to various regional stereotypes. To this day they retain a strong following in the south-west of England and do regular live performances in the region, with people from other parts of the country tending to regard them as something of a novelty act that was briefly big in TheSeventies.
