    Looks like my thread on films will be another stonking success so the next logical step is to take a delve into the phenomenon of Christmas Songs.

    Are you a fan of the traditional carols? Do you like a crooner? How about a bit of Phil Spector or 70's Glam Rock to get your toes a tapping at this time of year?

    I will state again for the record (no pun intended) that I cannot stand that awful dirge Fairytale of New York but appreciate I am very much in a minority as it keeps getting voted as the best Christmas Song, it can go on the list as I am a magnanimous sort of citizen.

    Where's Jona Lewie?

    Stop the Cavalry is the answer you're looking for.

    It's Fairytale of New York from a musical perspective but it's played out to ****.

    The actual tune is quite pleasant, I like the penny whistle vibe but it takes a dive when that pissed up Mick starts drawling and the fat ginger with the flattest tone since Leonard Cohen chirps in and says scumbag, maggot, faggot (homophobic) and arse which seems to be why so many twats have a little sex wee every time it comes on the radio.
