Somewhere Only We Know - originally by Keane but covered for a JL ad by Lily Allen and now forever a Christmas song to me.

Absolutely. Also as p.p said - beach boys 'God only knows' for same. A few more off that soundtrack but definitely not 'jump for my love' . Funny how we make these associations.
See my baby jive by Wizzard always to me sounds like it should be a Christmas song.

John Lennon - imagine and Woman always reminds me of Christmas just because it was in the charts in December 1980 after he was killed so that is quite hard wired into memory for me. Wouldn't put them on a christmas play list though.

’Only You’ by Kazoo - from The Office Christmas special. Still my favourite thing to watch in December!

What was the east 17 song? Was it Say another Day

frankie goes to Hollywood - The Power of Love

Robertplantgoddess · 03/10/2025 23:02

Well, the flying pickets version anyway.
Another for me- caravan of love- housemartins

Eastie77Returns · 03/10/2025 23:05

Stay Another Day by East 17. Really not a Christmas song as the songwriter wrote it about his brother who died by suicide:(

Wasn’t originally a Christmas song but was in the carts for so long in the run up to Christmas, they added bells to it when they thought it might be Christmas nr 1

Out of Reach by Gabrielle from the first Bridget Jones film.

cornbunting · 03/10/2025 23:15

We have Earth Song on our Christmas playlist because it was a Christmas number one. Not christmassy at all otherwise 😂

No idea why but its on the playlist

cornbunting · 03/10/2025 23:40

We have Tinsel and Glitter on our list too, just for the title (and because we like it), it's not remotely anything to do with Christmas and I don't care:
