[RichardCranium]

Seem to have misplaced my Christmas CD, shall download songs off itunes instead of searching for another one.

Mind has gone blank.

List your favourite song for me!

Thanking you.

Another vote for I Believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake. It's my fave song ever . It just sounds how Christmas should be.

Christmas (W)rapping by the Waitresses - the ultimate Xmas song, I love it.

I LOVE it when they start playing Christmas songs on the radio.

Plus, I love Christmas Carols. I am not religious at all, however I am planning to go to Gloucester cathedral this year for the carol service and sing my heart out, god rest ye merry gentlemen etc. I will get evicted I excpect, my voice isnt the best.

Fairytale of New York here too

I always listen to Fairytale in New York before going to bed Xmas eve, it makes me all tingly and Christmassy!

"Stop the Cavalry" by Jonah Louie.

For me there ARE only 3 xmas songs -

Fairytale of NY - amazing how one song be so funny and yet so moving.

Santa Baby - but only the Eartha Kitt version (it's soooo good)

and the other one which I don't have because I don't know what it's called or who sings it... can anyone help? it's the one about (American) girl going out to get cranberry sauce. Any ideas?

But I will run out of any shop playing Slade's I Wish It Could Be Xmas tearing my ears off.

I love Silver Bells by Jim Reeves, or pretty much any Christmas song by Jim Reeves. Dear Senor Santa Claus is fabulously cheesy

The exception to my rule is Old Christmas Card. It's crap.

Faiytale of New York.
The Coventry Carol.

funniest xmas song ever I be in wrinkles every time.

Fairytale of NY here too.

Isn't there a Killers xmas song?

The Snoopy one & the George Michael one
(I think "Snoopys Christmas" and "Last Christmas".

Oh & the Eagles - Please come home for Christmas - good for slow dancing

Ooh I love the Mariah Carey one - also hate her stuff but love that song.

Also the Ricky Tomlinson one, Christmas My Arse. I find it strangely moving too - no really! It really sums up how annoying it all is and yet how you get kind of schmaltzy as well.

Christmas comes but once a year,
Loads of laughs and loads of tears,
Close the door and kiss the year goodbye!

Come on in, sing loud and clear,
Have 1 mince pie, 12 pints of beer,
Raise your glass, say christmas, My Arse!

fairytale of new york
wizzards I wish it could be Christmas every day

Fairytale of N Y here too!

Inmyhead surely its Roy Wood and Wizard who did 'I wish it could be Xmas'?! Slade are 'So here it is, Merry Christmas.."
(And I am very old).

Rather like Mud's Elvis rip-off 'It'll be Lonely this Christmas'. Merry Christmas Les, wherever you are...

borderslass - you are right it's wizzard with two zzs. oops. I'm old and losing it.

Christmas Rapping - The Waitresses. Fantastic reference to cranberry sauce

&

Driving home for Christmas - Chris Rea. Makes me think of my mum!

I second the Phil Spector album - it's a work of art and should have a place in everyones cd collection

4 categories

feeling child like - little donkey in very loud voice

feeling sentimental - white christmas (wipe a tear)

from childhood or want to act stupid at a party etc - Slade or Wizzard

just like because it's blardy good - fairytale of NY

Mary's boy child!!!

And another vote for fairytale.

And sometimes Mariah Carey...

Fairytale of New York and a Slade song, not sure what it's called though the one about looking to the future now it's only just begun.
Also frosty the snowman

1. simply having a wonderful christmas-time by paul mccartney

2&3. slade and wizzard

1. stop the cavalry

Then play the same 4 songs in the same order again and again and again until someone goes bananas and makes me stop.

Last Christmas - Wham

When A Child Is Born - Johnny Mathis

Band Aid (original version) - Do They Know It's Christmas

Michael Jackson & Co - Feed The World.

I believe in Father Christmas...Gregg Lake
