Christmas Tunes

I’m going to presume we can all agree Fairytale Of New York is the finest Christmas song ever written…

But other than that, what’s your favourite Christmas song? I love a bit of Stop The Cavalry, which interestingly wasn’t intended to be a Christmas song. Does that mean I’m cheating? Doesn’t matter it’s my question and I can answer as I see fit. Merry Christmas Hibbys[emoji172][emoji318]

Driving Home for Christmas brings back great memories of driving home to Liverpool on Christmas Eve for 20 odd years before I lost my parents.Always had it on several times during the journey.

Merry Xmas Everybody is number 1 for me. Brenda Lee singing like a 50 year old at age 13 is tremendous too.

[Hibby70]

The Power of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Stunning song.

Big fan of Merry Xmas Everybody as well, specifically the Oasis cover. Outstanding.

Xmas Curtain by My Morning Jacket. But obviously it's not a traditional Christmas song.

Last Christmas is probably the one you never really get fed up with. Most of them I don't ever want to hear again.

I can’t disagree with this more, Last Christmas is absolutely honking! Whamageddon exists as a game for a reason[emoji16]

I do quite like the George Michael one December Song - doesn’t get much airplay mind you.
You know who I’ve barely heard on the radio this year? Cliff Richard. Wonder if his Xmas tunes are being phased out.

[Bishop Hibee]

I always put the crooners doing Christmas on. ‘The Christmas Song’ by Nat King Cole is superb.

‘I Was Born on Christmas Day’ by St Etienne is a great alternative.

For a Carol, has to be ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’.

‘Mistletoe and Wine’ was played on Radio Scotland this afternoon.

There is a great Frasier episode where Martin is rehearsing 'Oh Holy Night'. He visits the church a lot and everyone thinks he's dieing. And he cannot hit the high note for love nor money.

Anyway, on the back of that I heard Mariah Carey singing the same song. She hits the high notes just fine!

Never a big fan of hers and it isn't even her big Xmas song. I love it though.

[Bridge hibs]

Leona Lewis, cant remember the song title but its about Christmas 😀

It's Christmas So We'll Stop - Frightened Rabbit.

Beautifully dark Xmas tune.

[patch1875]

I Believe In Farher Christmas - Greg Lake is my favourite.

[Jones28]

A Spaceman Came Travelling is up there with my favourites but Fairytale of New York is the winner for me.

Fav Christmas album is Frank Sinatras.

[Pretty Boy]

Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree

Streets ahead of Mariah Carey's screeching in the pop divas category.

[Oscar T Grouch]

I used to be a real bah humbug barsteward about Christmas until total apathy took over. So I loved Kevin Bloody Wilson's "Hey Santa Claus" for its pure offensiveness. The only Christmas song I really like is Fairytale of New York and after hearing it played everywhere constantly (especially the muzak versions played in supermarkets and shops) I am usually sick of that by the time the 25th comes around.

Away in a Manger sung by kids. Gets me every time.

Aye right. No crisps or a bed. Idiots.

Kelly Clarkson - Underneath The Tree

Streets ahead of Mariah Carey's screeching in the pop divas category.

She's alright for a singer with a meagre three octave range. That screeching is supposed to be world class singing in the "whistle register" over an impressive five octaves. Rolling Stone appreciates it, if not yourself.

[Peanut Shaz]

I Believe In Farher Christmas - Greg Lake is my favourite.

Snap.

[Hibby70]

Eating Trifles by The Jam

[Sloop67]

Seth Lakeman - One more before you go
O Holy Night - Stornoway

Christmas Eve - Blossoms

[He's here!]

A Christmas Gift For You album, produced by Phil Spector is the standard bearer for Christmas albums.

2000 Miles, The Pretenders.

River, Joni Mitchell.

Yep, it used to be record sales not what's on your play list. I have 3,500 tunes on my Spotify playlist and not one of them is a Christmas tune, so at this time of year thousands add Xmas tunes and they become no.1, hence why Britains No.1 tunes nowadays are nonsense due to the digital age, jeez we had that Ladbaby rubbish for a few years.

Another vote for Greg Lake - I believe in Father Christmas.
Bohemian Rhapsody kept it from the top spot back in the day.

At the risk of repeating myself here's my shower-sung Fairytale Alternative.......

It was New Year’s Day babe
Across at Tynie
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Glory Hibees one
I turned my face away
And dreamed a win for him

Then Jimmy scored the first
Came in at seven to nil
Oh what a feeling
That year for me and him
A happy New Year’s Day
We love you Hibees
Was there a better time
When all our dreams came true

They were handsome
Played pretty
Kings of our City
When the team finished playing
We howled out for more
The terrace was swinging,
All the Hibbies were singing
We pissed on the Jambos
Then danced through the night

The boys of the E’nbra Hibees choir
Were singing "Glory be"
And the bells were ringing out
On New Year’s Day.

Personally I find Fairytale of New York an absolute dirge.
