Fjool Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Since Christmas is a time for crappy, over-played music I thought I'd share this nugget. The original is actually a pretty good pair of songs but Mr. Hopkinson's Computer has a fairly good go at it too: http://www.myspace.com/theaudrey3000[Fairytale of New York] Worth a lol.

Tomblands Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'll wait til I ain't at work...but on the topic of acceptable Christmas songs - The Vandals - Oi! to the World The Ramones - Merry Christmas (I don't want to fight tonight) The Ramones - Something to Believe In - not a Christmas song really, but has a Christmas feel to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marjolein Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Definetly the Pouges And, I have to admit I love Shaking Stevens 'Merry Christmas eveyone' such a happy song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Definitely the Pouges Agree - Fairy Tale of New York still gives me The Shiver sometimes. I also like the Beatles' "Xmas Time Is Here Again" - a 1minute long b-side that ends amusingly with Lennon speaking faux-scots gibberish over the strains of Auld Lang syne...

I was chatting to a pal on Saturday after a few bottles o wine and they said they were kina sick o it. I have to listen to radio1 all day at work but i have to say i fookin love that tune, never got sick of it get yet. There is loads o xmas crappy / cheesy tunes but when i go home and spend it in shetland the cd that is played in our house is Phil Spectro's Christmas Album That sound track and the five o us trying to play Trival Purist, is xmas to me. Not about pressies or anything. just family and good tunes and the smell o the real tree!

ArabiaTerra Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QoGTu-oxlg I like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-isle Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Best Christmas album of recent times for me is: 'We Three Kings' by The Roches (1990) ... classic Christmas songs simply produced, with glorious family harmonies ... As it says on the sleeve, 'The Roches came into being one Christmas season on the streets of New York City singing these very songs. And every year when the hassles and tensions of Christmas set in, we rediscover the joyful, peaceful spirit of Christmas through these carols.' So these songs are at the very roots of what the sisters do best ... Still time to get a copy from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/We-Three-Kings-Roches/dp/B000009V0M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marjolein Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QoGTu-oxlg I like this one. Oh wow the start reminds me of Anchorman!! I think we should have a poll on this to see the most favouritest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjool Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Huw Stephens played many interesting and unusual Christmas songs on his show last night. Listen again I didn't think much of 'The Dulocs' live set at all but the rest of the show was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 As a rule, I dislike xmas music Stick some sleigh bells on it, mention mistletoe to or santa in the lyrics and make a video with some faux snow. A sure fire festive hit I was once unfortunate enough to work in an establishment which played the standard 20 xmas songs on a loop all day and it did me heed reet in. If I here Noddy Holder shouting "iiiiiiiiiiiit's Chriiiiiiiissstmaaaaaaassss" again I'll, I'll........ Ha bumhug Hang on, that song Cliff Richard did with the lyrics from the lords prayer over the tune for Auld Lang Syne was pretty good. And mistletoe and wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
