Is it really, I don't follow the charts at all so didn't know that. I just think it is a beautiful tune, the instrumental background on this new version is lovely. What's not to like? Each to their own I suppose. DO you like the original?
Yes , well more than this version anyway! I would not have know about the charts , except it was mentioned on Radio 2 today.
Hi Any song which incorporates the phase Bell's End (The Darkness) and not banned by the BBC gets my vote. However, I should say Happy Xmas War Is Over (John Lennon: I know time passes quickly but is it really 32 years ago since his murder).
Call me sad, but I just love christmas songs in general: Fairytales of new york, the Pogues Christmas time, the Darkness Stop the Cavalry, Jonah Lewie Let it snow, any version really I believe in father christmas, Greg Lake are my personal favourites
Pogues & Kirsty and Greg Lake take some beating, but, like most, have been over-played. Here's my current top 3 of newer Xmas songs I haven't got fed up with yet........ Smith & Burrows - When The Thames Froze http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=644U-jMpDUw Thea Gilmore - That'll Be Christmas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qQAE794uvo and new for this year... Tracy Thorn - Tinsel & Lights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_FBwG5KUHE
fairytale of New York - Pogues and Kirsty McCall Merry Christmas Everybody - Slade I believe in father Christmas - Greig Lake Rockin around the Christmas Tree - Mel (Smith) and Kim (Wilde)
