Mistletoe, wine & cheap lousy faggots

**Darren** · 2nd Dec 2006, 11:27 PM

And so this is December, and it's time to play those festive tracks that people love or hate. There's an A-Z on the Hits Channel right now, and I've already been playing my three disc set.
So which Christmas songs do you like or loathe? What would be on your compilation?

**Paul Clement** · 2nd Dec 2006, 11:29 PM

I love Fairytale of New York, I don't particularly like or dislike any of the others, though one or two may have blipped off of my musical radar to protect my sanity.

Actually, blipping back in to radar range, I don't like Wham's Last Christmas, which Treena happens to love and play each Christmas.

**Darren** · 2nd Dec 2006, 11:32 PM

I don't like Wham's Last Christmas

It's better than Whigfields version.

Thankfully, I don't think I've ever heard it.

Billie Piper did a nice "Last Christmas" as a b-side back in 1998.

A Spaceman Came Travelling - Chris DeBurgh

This one's not too bad really.

December Will Be Magic Again is a winner!

Some songs from my Christmas playlist:

Band Aid - Do They Know Its Christmas (killer drums from Phil

)
Richard Cheese - Jingle Bells
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
Aled Jones - Walking In The Air
John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
Cliff Richard - Mistletoe and Wine
Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone
Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmas Time
Nat King Cole - Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire
Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
Tenacious D - The 12 Drugs of Christmas
Wham! - Last Christmas (why do people dislike it, it's great!)
Genesis - Snowbound (hehe)

I'm not listening to it yet, though give it a couple of weeks...

The Manics' version of 'Last Christmas' is great.

I'd have to nominate Greg Lake's 'I Believe In Father Christmas' - great Yuletide prog.

A lot of people rave about Kate Bush's 'December Will Be Magic Again' but I must admit I've never heard it, and it never appears on compilations. Am I missing out?

**Andrew Curnow** · 3rd Dec 2006, 9:32 AM

It's memorable, although it's a bit of a 'slow-burner' I think - I hated it first time I heard it, but now rather like it. Elton John's "Cold as Christmas in the Middle of the Year" (which may, or may not, be the title to the song which contains that line) is the same, but I like that one too.

I also rather like the catchy "Senor Santa Claus" but I can't find it on any of m'tapes.

So "faggots" is allowed on the new PS then?

**Darren** · 3rd Dec 2006, 11:18 AM

Some good choices there.

Of course faggots are allowed. They're just meaty balls. Er....

Wayne · 3rd Dec 2006, 12:33 PM

I hate them all. There are no exceptions.

Unless you count that time when Kylie was on TOTP in her santa outfit.

In the meaning Darren meant (I'm presuming he meant the meatballs), it's fine. If it was being used derogatively, then no.

What if someone doesn't like faggots?

I love a man who knows how to handle me.

I quite like those meatball thingies, too.
