to never have realised Rocking around the Xmas Tree is not by the actual Mel and Kim

[IAmAlwaysLikeThis]

but by Mel Smith and Kim Wilde?

Am I a bit dense?

I never took note, I was always too busy drooling over the Curiosity Killed The Cat cameo

Yes!

Have you never heard the version with Mel Smith talking through it? Who did you think that was?

How did you fail to realise one of them was a very deep-voiced man?

Yep. Great song.

Bit awkward though, when they say 'I haven't had his much fun since 2 little boys was No 1.' 😳

Sorry, that really made me laugh, it's the sort of thing I'd do!

Why is it awkward? Two Little Boys was a number one and nothing had come out about Rolf Harris when this was recorded. I'm actually gutted Two Little Boys isn't played any more (although I obviously understand why) as it was one of my favourite Christmas songs.

I'm only kidding sparkly.

I actually like 2 little boys too, and also rock and roll Christmas by Gary Glitter. Quite upsetting that both men turned out to be sex offenders of teen girls..

I'm sure Jimmy Savile loved them too

The song was first recorded by Brenda Lee in the 1950s - not Mel and Kim.

cough just assumed it was some kind of backing vocals, I never gave it much thought.
