Favourite Christmas Song?

I love Christmas songs. Not only do they provide the only chance for one to legitimately listen to Gary Glitter in public, but they genuinely fill me with Christmas cheer. I was even caught listening to Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon in mid-August by a cheeky window cleaner.

Splendid album produced by a guy who knows how to treat a bird properly

 

The only one listentoable (did I make up a word?) is Fairytale of New York

 

That's the ****er.

That and Fairytale.

 

**** or piss ?

Mistletoe and Wine by the legengary king of rock and roll Cliff Richard

 

Got to confess that I like Mariah Carey too.

And Jonah Louis.

 

Half man half Biscuit - It's cliched to be cynical at Christmas.

 

Yes again.

Ba Da Da Da Dum Dum, Ba Da Da Da dum, Ba Da dum dum badda Dum dadda dadda dum.

Great.

 

All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague away top

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.

 

I'd already responded to the same question on our own board, here's what I said.

I love Christmas but live in dread of having to listen to that hackneyed old dirge Fairytale of New York. A p*ssed up, toothless trotter and a nasal ginge whiner ruining what would have been a nice musical arrangement makes me want to punch carol singers in the mush. And my don't we all chuckle because they say ar*e and scum bag. Dross.

For me I'd go for this top three;

Sleigh Ride - The Ronnettes
Winter Wonderland (There's only One Kevin Gallen!) - Darlene Love
Troika - Prokifiev (always played over anything to do with Christmas or snow - also in Love and Death by Woody Allen. You remember, when he was funny and wasn't a craddle snatching pervert)

The best ever non-Christmas tune has to be Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine. What ever happened to the toothy northerner that didn't get the Christmas number one? Oh yes, Knock Knock. Who's there? Joe McEldery. Joe McEldery who? That's Showbiz!!
