[Jonboy]

You have dragged this up from the past Nick,

Found myself singing along to this earlier in Sainsburys made a few people look with my par rum pum pum pums :D

I love that! The skit between them at the start is class!

Christmas often brings about the best duets...

Sorry, it's also the cheesiest time of the year, but in a good way :D

Every Christmas, I regress to the records I played as a toddler in the late 50's, so Mantovani's 10" LP of Christmas Music and various EP's and singles by such as The Beverley Sisters feature quite highly on the private music list away from the family. Blame it on the (Aspergically inclined) boogie......

Nice one.
I like the way that Bing occasionally looks over to Bowie with a look of "who is this guy?", or more to the point, "who the f*ck are you?" on his face.
I'll be honest, and admit that I really like the performances of both stars, and their voices blend well too.

Keep up with parrum pum pum pums :eyebrows:

For me, it'll always be Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas.

I just love 'Driving Home For Christmas' by Chris Rea. Poignant for me as I used to drive from SW London to Norfolk for Christmas every year for ten years. So nice to be back here full time now.

I also really like 'I Was Born On Christmas Day' by Saint Etienne - great driving disco beat and Sarah Cracknell's vocals are... er... cracking. :)

[Beechwoods]

Driving Home for Christmas is a great one Rob. It found it's home in the Christmas banner! Hope you have a good day tomorrow :)

[The Grand Wazoo]

Here's one you don't hear on the Tescos Christmas tape:

Big Star - 'Jesus Christ'
from the album 'Third/Sister Lovers'

I'm not one for Christmas songs, but The Blue Nile have just remastered Hats and bundled a second disc of previously unreleased materiel, which includes a demo that used to be called Christmas Lights - its now just called Christmas and its really rather good. Hats is one of their best, so if you don't have it now might be the time - in fact if you only ever get 1 Blue Nile album, this IMO is the one you should have ;)

The Blue Nile - Christmas

Nice little EP
Christmas songs done Low style

[Rare Bird]

I think the best Christmas songs are the 60's Phil Spector type toones.. The Crystals 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town' & all that type of stuuf.
