Scrumpy and Western
Scrumpy and Western refers humorously to music from England's West Country〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scrumpy & Western )〕 that fuses comical folk-style songs, often full of double entendre, with affectionate parodies of more mainstream musical genres, all delivered in the local accent/dialect. The name, taken from the title of the 1967 Scrumpy & Western EP by Adge Cutler and the Wurzels, refers to scrumpy, strongly alcoholic cider produced in the West Country.
Exact styles vary by band or musician, and very few are known outside their native county. The main exceptions to this are the Wurzels (originally "Adge Cutler and the Wurzels"), a Somerset group who had a number one hit in the UK with "Combine Harvester" in 1976.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Combine Harvester song lyrics )〕 This followed an earlier hit single with "Drink Up Thy Zider", an unofficial West Country anthem, especially among supporters of Bristol City Football Club. This gained notoriety when the BBC refused to play its B-side song, "Twice Daily", due to concern about the unseemly subject matter (a shotgun wedding).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Adge Cutler Biography )〕 "Combine Harvester" itself was a reworded version of Melanie's Brand New Key and other songs borrowed the style and made fun of the themes of Country and Western and other US and British popular music.
Other artists whose music is Scrumpy and Western in flavour include The Yetties〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Yetties )〕 from the village of Yetminster in Dorset, The Golden Lion Light Orchestra from Worcestershire, Fred Wedlock, Who's Afear'd (also from Dorset), the Skimmity Hitchers (who rose from the ashes of Who's Afear'd),〔(The Skimmity Hitchers )〕 the Surfin Turnips (more punky folk), Trevor Crozier,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Trevor Crozier )〕 the Yokels (from Wiltshire), Shag Connors and the Carrot Crunchers,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shag Connors and the Carrot Crunchers )〕 and the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra )〕
