What's your favourite Christmassy type song

For me it's this but some people are driven mental by endlessly listening to the same song over and over again. :biggrin:

Who would have guessed George Michael was gay?

That's a good one.

Mine is either Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin' Stevens, or anything off A Jolly Christmas by Frank Sinatra.

I have a fond spot for The Fairy Tale of New York too. :smile:

"It was Christmas Eve babe In the drunk tank"

etc.

I honestly can't say I have ever heard of A jolly Christmas by Frank Sinatra but I'll type it into you tube, give it a whurl. :smile:

Shakin' Stevens is quite good, but it gets a little boring on the 200th listen, even so it's one of those catchy songs, you can't help liking.

This isn't bad, I never thought I'd hear David Bowie sing with Bing Crosby. :biggrin:

"come they told me barup a bum bum."

It's kind of like hearing Niel Diamond do a medley with Oasis. Very strange but very good.

My favorite song of all time sort of, Harry Nilson singing Everybodies talkin' at me from Midnight Cowboy. :smile:

"Everybodies talkin' at me, I don't hear a word their saying, only the echoes of my mind. People stop and staring I can't see their faces only the shadows of their eyes."

:smile:

Lol I have never seen that before, that is soooo awesome. :biggrin:

Mind you two tone is awesome whatever it plays, it's a pity it is not popular any more.

I know reeling out The Specials is lazy but for me they were the first time I heard a reggae style beat in contemporary music. So it's something I always remember . :wink:

There were of course plenty of Afro Carribean two tone artists, but I hope you will forgive me the license, as it was the first time I had heard that style of music. :biggrin:

Yeah I know what you mean it's lyrics are a sort of cynical nod to Christmas, ie you scumbag you maggot you cheap lousy baggot (gaggot) merry Christmas ya arse, I hope this one's our last. Just makes you smile. :biggrin:

Sorry I am not trying to avoid the swear filter. Just that ****** is not really a swear word unless it is used in context, it actually literally means a bundle of sticks not a gay person, but of course it has come to be used derisively. Apologies nonetheless, I know the word is contentious and I don't mean anything by it.

Just in case you think I am being deliberately an *******. Which ironically is a swear word. :tongue:

Language is so fun. :biggrin:

2. (in embroidery) join by faygotting.

Yeah but really don't you find that song annoying?

On the first day of Christmas I got so smashed on booze I fell over and vomited in a gutter, and was carried home by my mates, because I couldn't walk straight or at all.

On the second day of Christmas I had one of those hangovers that lasts for days.

On the third day of Christmas Dave asked me if I wanted to go out, and I said no because I was still hungover, but he called me a lightweight poof so I had to. :wink:

I mean no offense but who gives two turtle doves and three French hens to anyone as a present, unless you are a bit of a dick? Yeah cheers , could you just not bother next year, I am pretty sure I don't need Lords a leaping. :wink:

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yule tide carols being sung by a choir, and folks dressed up like Eskimos.

:wink:

The 12 days of Christmas is a repetitive load of crap, probably just me? I know I Know I am the Grinch. :tongue:

Did you know that The Fairy Tale of New York by The Pogues, never had Kirsty Macol or the lead singer in the same room both parts were sliced together after the fact. And Shane Mcgowan re recorded his part because he though it sounded a bit ****.

random and useless information but meh. :biggrin:
