Best Xmas themed song

[Gullet]

Following on from bigc's thread on the best Xmas song, I thought I'd turn his idea into a poll. This poll is about Xmas themed songs only, NOT songs that were No1 at Xmas but did not have a Xmas theme. So a song like Frankie Goes To Hollywoods' "Power of Love" would not qualify because even though the video was about Xmas the song was definately not.
Even though it's very old hat Slades "Merry Xmas Everybody" is still my favourite because it is always guaranteed to get people on their feet at parties and everyone seems to know the words.

[The Large One]

Too Drunk to f*** - The Dead Kennedys.

Fair enough, forgot that one Mods please add to poll if you could. Cheers.

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday just beats Merry Xmas Everybody.

70's Christmas songs were the best - but I've no idea why!

Agreed. I don't think we'll be playing Christmastime (Don't let the bells end) by the Darkness in 30 years time!!

Am I right in thinking that "Last Xmas" by Wham is the biggest selling single NOT to get to No1. It sold over 1,000,000 copies but was kept off the No1 spot by the first Band Aid?

Anarchy in the UK didn't get to number 1, because it is alledged the chart was nobbled. In which case we'll never know......

 

[Exmouth Seagull]

Slade will walk it.

The only group to record a pop video at the Goldstone - in front of the north Stand in the late seventies. (If anybody ever finds a copy please post a link to download it on here).

Shows you young ones what our reputation was like in those days. Can you imagine Busted filming their next video at the Withdean?

Pause of Mister Claus

Why do you sit there so strange?
Is it because you are beautiful?
You must think you are deranged
Why do police guys beat on peace guys?

You must think Santa Clause weird
He has long hair and a beard
Giving his presents for free
Why do police guys mess with peace guys?

Let's get Santa Clause 'cause;
Santa Clause has a red suit
He's a communist
And a beard, and long hair
Must be a pacifist
What's in the pipe that he's smoking?

Mister Clause sneaks in your home at night.
He must be a dope fiend, to put you up tight
Why do police guys beat on peace guys?

Arlo Guthrie

 

[rool]

who did this one?

I'm a little christmas cracker
hanging on a christmas tree
I'm a little christmas cracker
banger, banger, banger that's me.

It was out about the same time as nellie the elephant
