An irie combine harvester

This article on the BBC website about the demise of Top of the Pops got me thinking about an appropriate memorial to the show. If the idea of Bob Marley and The Wurzels rubbing shoulders sums up the essence of ToTP, why not create soundclashes inspired by specific episodes of the show? '22nd October 1977' (or whatever the actual date of the Marley/Wurzels confab was) could feature a roots reggae rendition of 'I've got a brand new combine harvester'; an episode from 1991, Bryan Adams remixed in the style of Altern 8. One track for every year of the show, Bill Bailey to coordinate the project. How's about that then?
