Two of the most famous Christmas singles have been spliced together to create a new song.Wizzard's 1973 hit I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday and 1974's Wombling Merry Christmas have spawned a new song.I Wish It Could Be A Wombling Merry Christmas Everyday is the brainchild of Roy Wood, of Wizzard, and Mike Batt, the man behind the Wombles' Mike Batt, who has described the song as a "very silly record"."The old days of silly, holly, Wombley Christmas songs seem to be numbered. The problem with Christmas songs with holly on and mentioning Christmas is that radio stations won't play them until two weeks before Christmas. "We have taken the two songs and made the silliest song ever by juggling the two bits together.The Wombles was one of the most popular children's programmes of the 1970s and the furry creatures lived in a burrow on Wimbledon common. The programme spawned 10 hit singles with the theme tune to the programme, The Wombling Song, reaching number four in the charts in 1974. The Wombles' Christmas song reached number two in the same year. Wizzard also enjoyed a number four placing with its famous festive song, much played in pubs and shopping centres at Christmas.
