The one where he sings 18/1

By:
I don't like the song where he sings about a 10/1 winner, it should be 18/1 but for some reason he says 10

The one where he sings 18/1 Is that the new version? I ain't heard it. Won't be listening out or it either. Peaked at 10/1. |

Not a very controversial fred :) Apparently some MPs are going to try to get a christmas number #1. I think I'm going to be able to add a 4th to that list pretty soon. |

Jonah Louie, Stop the cavalry. How is this a Christmas Song.
|
|
By:
Only one I like is Greg Lake the rest you can shove em...
|
|
By:
Stop the Cavalry was never intended as a Christmas song. The line about being home for Christmas made people see it as a Christmas song.
I expect you all knew that already  |
|
By:
Not a fan of the old traditional ones but there have been a few good ones over the last 20-30 years, like The Pretenders and Slade
 Not counting that awful Mistletoe and Wine by Cliff Richard |
|
By:
All of them but Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses is probably the best of them which isn't saying a great deal.

Away in a Manger makes me want to vomit.
I like the first, two pagan verses of The Holly and the Ivy, with the rising of the sun and the running of the deer, and a complete absence of the baby Jesus. And it's a waltz, so it's got a proper jauntiness when you bash it out on the guitar Slade just makes me think of wasted autumn Saturdays traipsing around disappointing shopping centres with disappointing women. I've got Julian Cope's Christmas Mourning in my head right now. I could barely make out the words even when I still had some hearing, but I liked the way he seemed to stretch out the line forever to emphasize the he wasn't failing to "detest every moment of this meaningless cry-baby existence". But that might have been me putting words in his mouth. Other than that, as pointed out above, Greg Lake first and the rest, who cares? |

On the brighter side I've always liked "Fairytale of New York" at christmas, but I always then feel a bit sad about Kirsty MacColl, as not only did she die young she died just before christmas :( And then I remember Shane Macgowan's teeth and can't sleep for a week.
