Cult tv advert meerkat, Aleksandr Orlov, from the comparethemeerkat adverts is to release a Christmas single following in the footsteps of Mr Blobby & The Teletubbies.
According to a source, "Aleksandr has a fanbase to rival any of today's pop divas so it seems an obvious move to have a crack at recording a song.
"It'll be an upbeat, modern ditty but of course with a lot of Russian influence. Expect plenty of gags and the 'Simples!' catchphrase to feature heavily. It's the kind of thing you can see sweeping the net too."

10 Classic TV Adverts
Here's a selection of some classic tv adverts that I remember from my youth...
1) Kia Ora - I'll Be Your Dog not quite the Iggy Pop song.
2) Kinder Egg - Maybe one of the most disturbing adverts ever especially considering it was aimed at kids. Probably gave kids nightmares more than influencing them to buy an egg.
3) Um Bongo - One wonders what the inhabitants of the Congo would make of it especially as Mbongo is an Afrian creator God that vomits the Earth out!
4) Weetabix - Dunk was the leader, Brains was the intelligent one, Crunch was the muscle & Bixie was the female member of the group OK!
5) Shake n Vac - one of those adverts with a tune that has remained in people's memories for years.
6) R Whites Lemonade - I'm a secret lemonade drinker was written & sung by non other than Elvis Costello's dad with Elvis Costello helping out on backing vocals
7) Smash - For Mash Get Smash showed us the future... dried potato that just needs water to turn it into a tastless splodge.
8) Monster Munch - mmm Monster Munch....
9) Scotch Tape - Re-record not fade away, re-record not fade away...
10) Trio - a couple of stoners and a girl doing a Harry Belafonte impression, classic.
