Greatest Ever Christmas Compilation Album

[Parson Henry]

Everyone raves about the Phil Spector one...but what have you got in your very merry collection?

Me?

Andy Williams, Jim Reeves, and even Mario Lanza. The favourite has to be old Mr 'Chestnuts Roasting' (ooer) Nat King Cole.

 

[Trufflehound]

What about your namesake? No Christmas is complete without Perry Como.

 

[Uncle Buck]

The one by the Buxted Mixed Choir.

You're not taking this seriously are you. Perchance that your fave crimbo LP is Father Abraham and The Smurfs sing Carols Round the Camp Fire.

Not heard the Buxted one? Tubby does a solo on it.

Any album that does NOT have "So here it is Merry Christmas" by Slade on it.

I HATE that song.

I know what you mean. It was class when originally released but now I detest it.

My personal favourite from that era was Mud 'Lonely this Christmas'.


'Have a merry Christmas darlin'..wherever you are'.

Take That's Greatest Hits doesn't have that song on it, I believe.

By far the best Christmas SONG is Pipes Of Peace by McCartney. Unfortunately, it doesn't have twatty great sleighbells all over it or naff lyrics about Christmas trees and stockings so it doesn't get played (plus everyone dismisses much of his solo stuff far too cheaply, IMHO "ho ho, didn't he do that shit about frogs hahaha"). But for me at least, it's very evocative of the Xmas when it came out.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Bowie & Crosby...little drummer boy..always brings a tear to my eye..!I played my drum for him..per- rupp- a- pum- pum, I played my best for him.. per -uppa- pum- pum, rup-a-pum pum,rup-apum-puum!

The most underrated crimbo song was 'Her Mr Christmas' by Showaddywaddywaddy!!

 

[pasty]

Nah - although not even originally meant to be a Christmas song, you can't beat Jona Lewie, Can you stop the cavalry.

dubba dubba dum dum
dubba dubba dum
dubba dum dum dubba dum
dubba dubba dum
Wish I was at home
For Christmas

 

[Parson Henry]

'A Winter's Tale'

Always seems to paint the following picture for me:

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

I'll run for all presidencies
If I get elected, I will stop the cavalry!

 

[Trufflehound]

All I Want For Xmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit - Half Man Half Biscuit

'Carol singin', bells are ringin', Santa comes tonight.

they were only ever called showaddywaddywaddy in the lyrics of 'hey rock n roll

just for you, here's the rest of hey mister christmas

Hey Mister Christmas, we hope you're havin' fun,
Hey Mister Christmas, Mister Christmas here we come.

Throw away your troubles at Christmas,
And make this Christmas bright,
Carol singin', bells are ringin', Santa comes tonight.
Forget your troubles and worries,
And kick them out the door,
Don't look back, come on in, we'll just play some more, more, more, more.

Hey Mister Christmas, we hope you're havin' fun,
Hey Mister Christmas, Mister Christmas here we come.

Old folks sit by the fire,
Children play in the snow,
They've been waiting, anticipating, see their faces glow.
Forget your troubles and worries,
And kick them out the door,
Don't look back, come on in, we'll just play some more, more, more, more.

Hey Mister Christmas, we hope you're havin' fun,
Hey Mister Christmas, Mister Christmas here we come.
Mister Christmas here we come.

Hey Mister Christmas, we hope you're havin' fun,
Hey Mister Christmas, Mister Christmas here we come.

I remember listening to that song on Christmas Eve just before I went done to St Mary's for Midnight Mass..and bless it started snowing outside...


(Perry is welling up)

 

[Parson Henry]

Do crimbo songs make any of you feel like that?
