The Wombles are a British novelty pop group, created by Mike Batt in 1973. The band derives its name and characters from the children’s television show, 'The Wombles', which also inspired the band's furry, eco-conscious image. Their music, primarily written by Batt, blends elements of pop, folk, and novelty, and is characterized by catchy melodies and environmental themes. Perhaps the most recognized work from The Wombles is their 1974 hit "Remember You're a Womble", which reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The Wombles' quirky approach and environmental advocacy set them apart in the music world, making them a significant, though unconventional, part of 1970's British pop culture.
