"The Combine Harvester" is a novelty song which was a number one hit for Brendan Grace in Ireland in 1975 and then also for The Wurzels in the UK in 1976. Written by Brendan O'Shaughnessy, the song is a parody of Melanie Safka's 1971 hit, "Brand New Key", with rustic lyrics replacing the original theme of roller-skating. In the UK the song was released by The Wurzels, a band from Somerset with a rustic West Country style which they called "Scrumpy and Western". It reached number one on 12 June 1976 and stayed there for two weeks.

It reached number one on 12 June 1976 and stayed there for two weeks. (en) The Combine Harvester is een song uit 1975 van de Ierse zanger Brendan Grace. In 1976 verscheen een versie van de Britse muziekgroep . Het nummer wordt soms ook aangeduid als The Combine Harvester (Brand New Key) en is een parodie op het nummer Brand New Key, van zangeres Melanie. The Wurzels behielden zowel de melodie als de invalshoek (romantische toenadering tot degene aan wie het lied rechtstreeks gericht is) overeind, maar herschreven de tekst en maakten er instrumentaal een country-uitvoering van. The Combine Harvester gaat over een boer die toenadering zoekt tot een boerin en indruk wil maken met zijn nieuwe combine harvester (maaidorser). Melanie's tekst: Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skatesYou got a brand new keyI think that we should get together and try them out you see werd zo bijvoorbeeld: Cuz i got a brand new combine harvesterAn I'll give you the keyCome on now lets get together in perfect harmony The Combine Harvester stond in 1976 twee weken op de eerste plaats in de UK Singles Chart, de officiële hitlijst van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Het werd dertig jaar later gebruikt als muzikale ondersteuning van een scène in de Britse horror-komedie . Het begint daarin net op de autoradio die personage Sam Butler aanzet wanneer hij in een maaidorser kruipt. Vervolgens zet hij het volume omhoog en gaat hij met de dorser achter een groep voor hun leven hollende aliens aan. (nl)
