Photo Hunt: Theme Music
This weeks Photo Hunt theme is Music so why have I posted a picture of a combine harvester I hear you ask?
The answer is…. The Combine Harvester song by The Wurzels is my favourite farming song. Not only has this song got great lyrics, a catchy tune, a farming theme but brings back special memories of my wedding day. This was the first song played after our first dance. The DJ said that he had never had a request for The Wurzels at the start of the evening reception before. There’s always a first time! We wanted to “combine” the fact that a teacher and a farmer were getting married so being a resourceful teacher I had a cardboard cut out combine harvester and tractor made which we danced along with. I even put on my wellies under the wedding dress and managed to leave a trail of authentic farm mud across the dancefloor as we danced to The Combine Harvester song. We had a great time, dancing to a great song.

What a great song to have as your first dance, makes a change from Celine Dion ..! When I was a kid I remember me, my brother and my mum singing at the tops of our voices to this and of course I Am A Cider Drinker ‘I drinks it all of the time’ ..!

What a fun post for the music theme. I bet your wedding was talked about for a long time. Great fun. I love for weddings to be about the people getting married. Very original.

Very unusual photo but for good reasoning!
My son heard the Wurzels at a music festival recently and recorded them on his phone for me!

Had never heard of the song, but it is a catchy tune and I could see how it could get me on the dance floor!
Great take on the theme!
Very unusual indeed!

Hehe - great story! I love the Wurzels.
The again I did live in Devon quite a few years back, and the landlord of a local pub was a Wurzel(I think it was Pete Budd - but it was a while ago). He had all their hits on the jukebox and the gold discs on the wall behind the bar - but he didn’t have a till, just an old ice-cream tub to throw the money in - that’s the no-nonsense west country way of doing things.
