Ah well it's a well-known fact that everyone's favourite Christmas animal is the the traditional Christmas Wombat! What better way to celebrate the fact than a proper Christmas song with some proper Wombats. Oh, and you know what would just top it off? What if we put Les Dennis in the video! Merry Christmas everyone! LAUNCH VIDEO IN STANDALONE PLAYER READ MORE ON THIS ARTIST

Naming your band after an animal seems like the way to go. But why the sleepy little chubby Australian marsupial? The Wombats, that is, are a British band from Liverpool made up of two Englishmen and a Norwegian.

But this bunch of idiots—who claim that their fourth band member is a stuffed wombat named Cherub—happened to make some of the catchiest, care-free indie-pop in existence, all so...

Lets get the cat out of the bag right away, The W...

These tunes are taken from their 2007 Release "A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation" which I found to be quite an engaging listen with hints of early Who teenage angst woven in and out. Nothing too cerebral - strictly hormonal :-)Very refreshing.Murph, Dan and Tord met in 2003 while attending Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts. They even received a music tutorial by Sir Paul...
