The video was recorded in 2011 as part of a re-release that year and shows the Wombles dancing to the song.
However, the song, labelled as 'innocent',[4] and likened to 'golden tears falling from heaven'[5] was liked by many, and was described in 2011 as 'actually sound[ing] good this time around'.
[9] The song was prevented from reaching number one by Mud's "Lonely This Christmas" which (combined with a poor marketing campaign on behalf of the Wombles) 'more than halved' sales.
[10] The song is also widely believed to have prevented Ralph McTell's "Streets of London" from reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart.
The release failed to reach the Christmas number one spot, which was achieved by the Military Wives Choir with "Wherever You Are".
