Come on Keef, you old grump.


The question should be "best Christmas songs apart from 'Fairy Tale'"


I say Greg Lake "I believe in Father Christmas"

or Pretenders "2000 Miles"

Merry Christmas from the Ramones (circa ?89 I think): http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=niB1IXVVwdI


And here are some traditional ones for while you?re hanging up the decorations next weekend.


Joy to the World http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gyXz2NlcpvE&feature=related


Jingle Bells http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NDU4Z_BBkTA&feature=related

I thought the point was


Best ever Christmas song that you can hear at any time of the year without wanting to punch an elf.


At this time of year I love Slade. And who could forget Stay another day by E17?

For the love of god, how many more horrendous covers of that tune are we going to have to endure?


As I read somewhere else and will now try and pass off as my own wit, oh the irony when the winner of xfactor has to sing the line:


"....you don't like music, do you?"

'Hallelujah' is one of those songs that is a victim of it's own quality. There have been a couple of great versions, Jeff Buckley's being my favourite by a mile, but there are many more terrible versions. Catherine Jenkins has it on her latest album ffs!


I actually watched half of X Factor on Saturday for the first time this series. The black girl has got a very good voice.

I also watched the whole of Strictly, and then made a point of watching the results show yesterday. I need to stop this staying in at the weekend nonsense, it's bad for me!


Stay another day was a master stroke. Take a soppy song with no link to christmas, add some bells at the end, sorted, christmas number 1.

The way George pronounces "special" in: "this year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special" predates its current usage by about 20 years, but always makes me smile at the thought that George is indeed looking for someone "special" to give his love to.

I think that was ambiguous, I was referring to FTONY as being that song.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
