Is there one Christmas song that no matter how many times you here it you always like it?

I nominate Wizzard's 1973 classic, "I wish it could be Christmas everyday".:thumbsup:

No question - Kirsty McColl and the Pogues. Christmas starts for me when I finish work and put that on every year. Its top.

Rich

15-12-2006, 18:09

Not strictly Christmassy but Sir Cliff's Millennium Prayer does it for me, one of the best Christmas #1s he's ever done IMO.

And no, Cliff Richard does not suck, in fact Cliff > most of the charts lately, all crappy boybands who can't sing for toffee, I still haven't forgiven McFly for ruining Queen's "Don't stop me now" :rant:

Rich

15-12-2006, 20:59

East 17 Stay Another Day was a good song, OK it wasn't terribly Christmassy but it did get the Christmas top spot iirc back in the mid 90s.

15-12-2006, 21:22

A Spaceman came Travelling (which is more Christmasy than it sounds)
By Chris De Burgh ( which is amazing cos' I didn't think he could write a good song)

purple_frog

15-12-2006, 21:28

Im backing E17's Stay also, but I also like a version of Little Drummer Boy that I think was done by Bing Crosby and David Bowie ... tis highly corny, i know, but it gets me every time!

Step into Christmas was Elton John I think....

My old heart melts everytime I hear the strains of, ' Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer'.

I always imagine old Rudolph whizzing over the roof-tops of Sheffield and all the grid-locked traffic [ lucky reindeer ! ] and dropping things down people's chimney pots.I know it doesn't literally happen, of course, but it's the image that counts.

I'm sure some Punk Band, a few years ago, also brought out a lovely Xmas number, called, if I remember rightly, ' I'm gonna kick some ass this Xmas and puke over dat Santa dude '.Different sentiment to 'Rudolph' of course but still related to this lovely, special English time of year.

I hate ALL the old songs, but I don't think I'll ever tire of Geraldine's Christmas classic!

Dean Martin - Let it Snow is my favourite

Oh groan, here comes Christmas.

There are may covers of this classic but I think this one will take some beating, as old as I am I wasn’t around when Marilyn did her version.

When the songs first come on the radio in early December its great to hear them again but some-Band Aid,Slade,Pogues etc are played to death so the novelty wears off.There are some that are hardly ever played-Gilbert O'Sullivan's The Christmas Song for one.Still never tire of John Lennon or Greg Lake though.:thumbsup:.
