I was going to start a thread about the best Christmas Song In The World ever...

[Berk on a Bike]

Plenty of good shouts so far, but you can stick a turkey thermometer in this thread coz it's done...

 

[AndyRM]

come on then post this supposedly incredible song up!
Cheers Ed

I know you're only a laddie, but you must recognise this?

"Petit papa Noel" by Tino Rossi. Written in 1946 and was THE song to play when I was a kid in the 50's . It is still the best selling Xmas song in France. Great song. Still loves it today. Brings back so many happy memories. Look it up on YouTube.

This one comes a close second to Slade, for me anyway.

I'm a fan of Wizzard but since everyone knows that I give you...
Run DMC - Christmas in Hollis

I think it's been used on an Argos ad this year.

 

[hopless500]

Surely the best ever?

You're all wrong, it's John Otway.

Christmas number 1 has been dominated by X-Factor in recent years. Nothing to lament too much as it was boy bands, spice girls etc before that so just another bunch of commercial tosh.

The only decent Christmas song of recent year has got to be this one surely. I'm not really a Darkness fan but it's a tongue in cheek homage to Slade/Wizzard and better than Mistletoe and Wine. I'd also accept Proper Crimbo for a recent one .

This was going to be my pick, a proper xmas song

 

[roadrash]

My number one choice has already been covered (Pogues), but this one always brings a tear to the eye when I've had too much to drink..........

i like this , even though it was never intended to be a christnas song , it was wrote as a anti war protest song

Let's ease on in to some fine ol' country Christmas toons starting with everyone's favourite Johnny Paycheck...



Plenty more to come folks!!!

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

A cracking choice, I think the daughters (Cathedral) Choir has that in their repertoire


How about a spot of Mike??



Plus, I've just been listening to Jo Whiley (Radio 2; 20:00 - 22:00), & a few minutes ago, she played this;



However, I'll raise you something quite wonderful (even to a complete agnostic, like me)
