Our favourite Christmas songs
That’s it. Just a list of our favourite Christmas songs.
Comments
I’ll start.
Cristina / Things Fall Apart
(…or perhaps this version is better)
Always. My dear dad's favourite. Still can't quite believe he's gone (Christmas does that). Or Kirsty for that matter.
(Incidentally, apropos of another thread recently, featuring a prominent designer/artist and resulting album covers)
Cristina Monet was featured in this image mutilated by Jean-Paul Goude:
And a year or two later, he did the same sort of thing to Grace Jones
From which he went on to do this
And then, using similar cut-up assisted photo retouching techniques of the 80s, this
I stared at the cover art way too long.. this is awkward...
Easy choice, for me. I never tire of it, but I've never really been tested, either. Curious to know how well played it is in other countries.
Thread related, but not Christmas-y...
The Goodies - Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me (seems to have been uploaded to YouTube 7 hours ago!)
Ah, yes - I remember that Grace Jones pictures.
Quite impressive!
One of my favourites
I really want to hear the @Bluepunk extended updated version of this....
Got in before me, that track is fecking peerless for me.
I guess I need to mention South Park’s Merry F$&*ing Christmas too.
Darlene Love All Alone on Christmas.
This has been playing in my place all week
Santa Clause go straight to the ghetto by soul brother number one.
The past two years it’s been William Burroughs “A Junkie’s Christmas.”
Seriously give it a chance . I can’t stop listening to it.
Bleak mid winter is a beauty. And man, that Pouges song is a gem @JohnnyGoodyear. Thanks.
My 10 year old has finally spoken out about a tune that she likes.....This is officially her favourite Xmas song......Good Girl
Amen to that
Promising signs indeed. I have a 12 yo who doesn't know she has tickets for Taylor Swift next year, I'm hoping she's still popular in 9 month's time (Taylor and my daughter).
I still always like this classic:
Tempted (be warned) and thank you.
Sorry. How rude of me. Here’s one. Oi, Oi.
@Bluepunk nice one
I'm with you.
The film short based on the Burroughs piece is also great.
This is pretty great
Thanks for that. I hadn’t seen it. I think you would like Christmas with the Ventures based on the video you posted.
Yes, indeed. That is how I discovered that Mermen clip; the wife had put on a playlist of surf Xmas material and the Ventures were understandably well represented.
