Thread Name: Bad Christmas music
Subject: RE: Bad Christmas music
Come on man ,there are some good 'uns !

For what it's worth, my top 5-no particuar order-

1. Lennon - Happy Xmas, War is over (Beats his old pal McCartney's dreadfull,'wonderfull christmas time' into a cocked hat!)

2. Bing & Bowie - Little drummer boy -something bizarre and strangely touching about this one, Bowie thought Crosby looked like, 'a little old orange sat on a stool' and Crosby clearly didn't have a clue who Bowie was !

3.Jona Lewis -Stop the Cavalry

4. Pogues & Kirsty MacColl -Come on !!!

5. Slade - Merry Christmas everybody - Yep overplayed, but Noddy sounds like a man having the time of his life and not a sleighbell in sight !!

I'm not a christmas man, but am actually moved by this list. Yer can keep yer Wizzard's and ex Elvis impersonators trading on their christianity for a number one !!

Peace on earth,

Charley.
