A Top of the Pops performance of The Wurzels' 1976 novelty hit Combine Harvester (Brand New Key). It is a West Country English comic cover of a pop song.

Posted as context for the song reference in the title of a story about a combine harvester software lock, and as a joke elsewhere.

Although you could say the same about an "English accent" as well. Which particular part of England do you want this accent to be from? For example, ▶ this video is a fine example of an English accent.

The title of the article is a pop culture reference that may fly over most people's heads, so for context here's The Wurzels performing the song "Combine Harvester (Brand New Key)": ▶ this video The song itself is a parody/adaption of the Melanie song "Brand New Key" ("I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key"): link

There goes my plan of having him do a novelty song with The Wurzels of “I’ve got a brand new Star Destroyer and I’ll give you a ride” in his Somerset accent. ▶ this video
