BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE THE COCTEAUS.

Just heard it on youtube.

Off for my Christmas dinner now.

I actually feel a little bit of cheer about it.

I believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake Fairy Tale of New York - Pogues Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes (ring a ling a ling ding dong ding!)

Mike Oldfield 'Dulce Et Dublio' (played air guitar to this when I worken in a shop as a youngster)

The Waitresses 'Christmas Wrapping' (think that's what it's called?)

Shaky 'Merry Christmas Everyone'. (I have a DJ mate who ends his set with this everytime he plays, regardless of the time of year)

i might swap mariah for darlene love - christmas (baby please come home). there are too many good ones. what about wham?

if this had been MY thread i might have made it top five.

I hate christmas songs. Especially "Last christmas" :barf:.

bah humbug! how can you say that? it's a masterpiece. and what a video...

however, i did not know this:

"Due to perceived similarities between "Last Christmas" and the song "Can't Smile Without You" as popularised by Barry Manilow, an out of court settlement was reached in which the first year's royalties were donated to the one-year-old "Band Aid" charity."

I heard it too often. I can't stand it anymore.

When we had CDs running at work (I'm working in a movie theatre) we had the x-mas CDs running until mid-January. And if you have to listen to X-mas songs for 2 months, repeating every hour you are going to hate them. Thankfully we now play music from a fully packed computer hard disc.

Christmas songs make me agressive since those days.

Fairy Tale of New York - Pogues and Kirsty McColl Last Christmas - Wham Christmas Wrapping - Waitresses (I'm not sure if it's called that either)

Oliver Cromwell had the right idea.

Have about 25 Christmas albums, hard to pick three outta them... top three albums though:

Carpenters Christmas Portrait Ray Connif Singers Merry Christmas Beach Boys Christmas Album

and all ya scrooges can just piss off!:D

Merry Christmas, I Don't Wanna Fight Tonight - The Ramones Christmas in Hollis - Run D.M.C. Last Christmas - Wham! (Could turn anyone gay for 4 minutes)

Never heard most of the song you lot mentioned

I like: Winter Wonderland White Christmas Blue Christmas

I'm with the Belgian Order on this one 100%

Except, Silent Night, it's a fabulously emotive piece of music.

DO love me Chrimbo though.

PS: Bog off Jarvis

Stick around, the HSE will finish what he started sooner or later.

Just read that Elton John and the Killers are teaming up to release an Xmas song

How quickly can a band lose all sense of credibility?

And why hasnt anyone mentioned 'Hey Santa Claus, you c___' by Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson?

i think mr neil tennant's in on the act too.

don't the killers have form when it comes to crimbo songs?

also, Praying For a Cheaper Christmas from that Benelux Christmas album is dedicated to the chap who started that Christmas thread

Esquivel X-mas songs are like muzak on acid... recommended if you like to smile and to annoy other people with.

Mr Garrison - Merry Fucking Christmas

Is it just me but I like Hey Mr Christmas by Showaddywaddy

nora, if you had been left in charge, and it had been a top five, some idiot would have included East 17.

Now think on.

I heard a Killers Christmas song on Radio 1 early this morning.Thought the dj said it was their new one but didn't hear Elton John singing on it. Maybe he just ponces about on the piano or summat.Brandon flails around from one desperate line to the next, trying to come up with new ways to stop himself simply ending up singing 'For Reasons Unknown'.

St Etienne - I Was Born On Christmas Day The Crystals - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry

d.I.V.O.R.C.E

d i v o r c e

sHE's GONE- Hall and Oates

Are you watching'A devil's whore?' wednesdays on channel 4? That gadgie out of 'The Wire' is playing Oliver Cromwell.Dominic West. Surprisingly he does a pretty steady West Country,Bristol-ish accent,for a yank. John Simm plays a pretty good unhinged soldier of fortune in it too..Good telly!

Chrimbo songs.Fairytale in Nu Yoik is brilliant.

The rest are shit as fuck.Ears pissing blood all over the gaff.

Oh,the Saint Etienne one with Tim Burgess is pretty steady though

They used to make us sing it in German at school! 'Stilligan nacht'or something. Obviously no fucker told their grandads..

I am more into the Christmas albums

"December" George Winston "Go Tell It on The Mountain" Blind Boys of Alabama "Tis The Season for Los Straitjackets"

The Fall - No Xmas For John Quays Shock Therapy - Santa Claus Is Sick Alien Sex Fiend - Stuff The Turkey

I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

who can resist a Christmas song done to the tune of Louie Louie???

Happy Christmas...but I prefer The Alarm's version to Mr. Lennon's...

and... Fairytale of New York will round out my top 3...

Only in America

Jungle balls we three kings of leyton orient are

Mary's boy child by boney m timeless classic!

"Christmastime Is Here" - Vince Guaraldi Trio. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" - Sarah McLachlan.

And this one, I'm almost pissed no one's mentioned this: "I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek" - The Go-Go's.

Edited to add--bloody hell I forgot "Oi! to the World" by the Vandals as my Honorable Mention!!

Anyone who's had to put up with listening to christmas music for 8 hours a day for a month straight will hate it for the rest of their lives.

Though they played one song that sounded like an army of soldiers singing in a wind tunnel, marching on their way to stomp anything non-Christmas under their jackboot. It was great but I don't know what it was.

Also the charlie brown christmas one by the vince goobardi trio or whatever. that one's impossibly not to like.

1. HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT - All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit

3. PAUL McCARTHEY & WINGS - Wonderful Xmas Time

T'Darkness........Don't let the Bells End.....Top class video to boot.......silver cat-suits!!!!!.....

NON NOT ANY GOOD XMAS SONGS

How come I wasn't told about this?

I thought all their songs were about tremendous amounts of jism. Or was Fradders telling a fib? I fail to see how a song with this title could fit that interpretation.

Enya-Oiche Chiuin (Chorale)

Enya-O come, O come, Emmanuel

They don't make them like this anymore... they just don't. Happy and gay.

Oooh I forgot about Frankie goes to Hollywood - The Power of Love, an absolute pearler.
