By David Bowie? Who knew?!

Anyway - in other news, the 12 Days of Christmas centrepiece is still for sale on eBay. Price looks to have come down a bit.

I quite enjoyed it. Although as Annika said, I think it will be a departure too far for some listeners

I think I must have missed something - are you saying David Bowie did a version of A mouse lived in a windmill?? Is Annika Annika Rice? Is this on a radio station?

I'm assuming it was in the early days when he wanted to be Anthony Newley.

In an old windmill of Amsterdam?

Where? There on the stairs, where on the stairs, right there!

My mum and dad used to sing that to us, with him playing guitar and her on the harp. Thank you for that lovely memory on Christmas Day! And I had no idea Bowie did it 😂

A windmill with mice in, it’s hardly surprisin’

Ronnie Hilton sang 'A Windmill In Old Amsterdam'. I wasn't aware of any other commercial recordings.

hexsnidgett · 25/12/2024 22:08

He sang every morning how lucky I am!

I have the original 7" vinyl by Ronnie Hilton Smile David Bowie did do a quirky one - The Laughing Gnome Smile

I was listening yesterday trying to work out who it was - realised right near the end.
