Look what they’ve done to my song, ma

Here’s a beautiful song written and song by Melanie (Safka).

Sound familiar? Yes. The Wurzels entertain hundreds with their version called “Brand new combine harvester”.

Melanie must feel a bit cut up about this. They ruined her song. But no matter, she already got her revenge in by penning a song, well before the Wurzels got their agricultural equipment out, called “Look what they’ve done to my song, ma”.

She even has a sarcastic pre-dig at the Wurzels in French:

Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
C’est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n’est pas bon, ma.
Ils ont change ma chanson.
