Well a few questions. Do you think this is a great song? Are you watching the pennies this Christmas? What's your favourite Christmas song?

Never heard it, no and Noddy Holder beats everybody hands down.

Both really good choices.

Heh it don't even sound that good. Naaa it's bit of crap really, no hook, sounds like a keyboard demo setting, the rapping, is okayish, I guess the only thing it has going for it is, it is topical.

Cept for the second one.:p

Is the word "bad" not rather redundant there? Matter of fact, that dude doesn't "release" songs, he "excretes" them

Quite.

Regardless, it's still a bit... naff. I'll have Slade and Wizzard over this any day!

Holidaze
Mess up my brain

I'm in a hurry, and I'm tellin' you why
S'cuze me, I got gifts to buy

'I believe in Father Christmas' by Greg Lake.

"Thanks for Christmas" by XTC.
It has all the catchiness and annoyingness of a traditional Christmas carol. But it's by XTC.

Fairytale of New York, or this one (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JCJRq3Y9Seo).

This one's kind of dated, but a classic nonetheless.

how do you follow tom waits with the hoff?

Gloucestershire Wassail, the eight-part mixed choral arrangement by Ralph Vaughan-Williams. It isn't Christmas until I hear that.

For more recent times, the Bobs do one called "All I Want for Christmas" that is simple and lyrically very accurate for me.

All I want for Christmas is a house up in the hills
With colored lights and music, frosted window sills
Filled with all my loved ones, all the old and young ones too
All I want for Christmas is you.

All I want for Christmas is to spread a bit of cheer
With people I don't notice every other day of the year
All I want for Christmas is a smile from someone new
All I want for Christmas is you.

Christmas in the city can be lonely, and it's pretty
But it's not the same as when I was a child
People were much kinder, I guess I was so much blinder
How I wish that I could go back, for a while.

All I want for Christmas is to see my old best friend
I don't know where he lives now, and I know I never will again
All I want for Christmas is to send this wish his way
I hope you have a merry Christmas Day.

Christmas in the city can be lonely, what a pity
There's so many with so very much to do
I hope to find the joy this season, in those who don't need a reason
To make it Christmas time the whole year through.

All I want for Christmas is a Christmas like I had
With my brothers and my sisters, my Mom and Dad
All I want for Christmas is to send this song their way
I hope you have a Merry Christmas Day

Oh yes, they play that all the time at our local mall.

The power of YouTube, my man.

Classy mall.

Classy mall.

I wish. Although mentioning Vaughn Williams reminds me of his Variations on Greensleeves. If that counts as a Christmas song, it's my favorite.

It can -- just swap out the lyric for "What Child Is This" and you've got it.
