It reminds us of when Rory was one of the favourite acts at the Glasgow Apollo in the 1970s. An inebriated fan staggering into the Apollo, picked up a pile of leaflets advertising the Wombles and as Rory began his opening number the fan stood up in the Apollo balcony, rained the leaflets down into the stalls and sang: "Remember you're a womble!"
