Overview
National treasures The Wombles have unveiled the brand new video for 'Wombling Merry Christmas', featuring two new Wombles who look alarming like Jedward and a third who bears an uncanny resemblance to Simon Cowell.
The song, which originally charted at number 2 in 1974, is being released following a great reaction to their Glastonbury performance this summer. Set for release on December 12th The Wombles are being tipped to rival The X Factor for Christmas No.1
Speaking about Wombling Merry Christmas, which reached number two in 1974 spending eight weeks in the charts, Uncle Bulgaria said: "I don't watch much television myself – I leave that to the young Wombles – but I hear The X Factor is jolly popular. However, W comes before X. Let's see what people think of The W Factor! It should appeal to the common people."
He added: "We wish everyone a Wombling Merry Christmas."
