Paul Macartney - Simply having a wonderful christmas time

my fave :)

Happy Xmas (War is Over) - John Lennon

Fairytale Of New York - The Pogues

None of them!

Bar Humbug!

I hate going shopping when every shop is playing the same Christmas tunes, over and over and over again. I tend not to hang around the shops for long, I am straight in and straight out.... maybe that's what they are designed for.
This has never been a good time of year for me.

Me too !! I get out of the shops as soon as I can - that constant Christmas music is so irritating. Feel sorry for the staff having to listen to it all day and every day - the poor things must be brain washed with it!

Bah Humbug !

WHEN are they ever going to change those mind numbing tunes ... Slade, George Michael, Wizzard .. they've been playing the same annoying tunes for DECADES !
Surely we won't still be hearing Noddy Holder and Roy Wood in another 10 tears from now !! :shock:

Sick of all of them - but if I had to choose I'd pick Fairytale of New York by The Pogues. At least that's bearable.

Funny you never hear Elvis's 'Santa bring my baby back' or 'Blue Christmas'. Ah, those were the days, at least we could all rattle our chains in time to the music... :)

Is 'Wonderful Life' on this year? I feel like a good cry.

Hey, I've just heard 'Blue Christmas' in the Co-op, mind you with the prices they charge, is it any wonder...? :rolleyes: :)

THERE TOOOOO CHEESY!:shock: :p

Just into normal everday songs.

Fairytale of new york, pipes of peace and war is over

Fairytale of new york, pipes of peace and war is over

Yeah, War is Over - of course, one of the classics and best of the Xmas songs.

Fairytale Of New York - The Pogues :

It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, wont see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
Ive got a feeling
This years for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

Theyve got cars big as bars
Theyve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
Its no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold christmas eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of new york city
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the nypd choir
Were singing galway bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day

Youre a bum
Youre a punk
Youre an old **** on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy ******
Happy christmas your arse
I pray God its our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Cant make it all alone
Ive built my dreams around you

[QUOTE=lottie;93599]Fairytale Of New York - The Pogues :

I hate all Christmas songs but I bet anyone whose sat in a pub in town and after a good amount of ale, to have not sung when this has come on :PDT11

However, this sums up Christmas SO well! :PDT11

Hi all

Yes "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" by John Lennon, a wonderful anthem for the season and a song that always makes me feel sad this time of year, remembering John was shot 27 years ago yesterday. :(

I'll mention another fave of mine, "The Little Drummer Boy" which I remember was a hit for the Harry Simeone Chorale when I lived in Connecticut in 1958. It was composed by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati, and Harry Simeone.

Little Drummer Boy


Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

Don't like Christmas but I don't mind

I Believe In Father Christmas - Greg Lake

The Power of Love - Frankie Goes To Hollywood

I'm so easily pleased that I like them all - and support Everton.

Even Christmas Wrapping by the waitresses - heard it this morn and A spaceman came travelling by Chris De Burgh - oh and all the others mentioned and yes, Slade, Shaky, Wizard and Wham ha ha.

Silent Night
used to be When a child is born by Johnny Mathis but found out it was
nothing to do with Xmas

gregs dad

I like Fairytale Of New York and Lennon's Happy Xmas, but the traditional ones are my faves - Silent Night (just learned to play that on my guitar :unibrow:), Deck The Halls and In The Bleak Midwinter especially.

Have you heard this one posted by "Lottie", on Talk Liverpool? "Who put the dick on the snowman":shock::unibrow:

I love Christmas music..most of the oldies are lovely...

I particularly like "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas"- Perry Como.. (his music was so beautifully done).

After all my little girls class sang "Merry Christmas everyone" by Shakin Stevens at the Christmas school play, I like this one.

My daughter and her friend sang that to the family when they were approx 11years old, they are 21 now hahaha. I love Shakin Stevens.

Just got this song by text...
(it is a joke,I laughed anyway)

Christmas time
cocaine and wine
children indulging in petty crime
dads on the whisky and mums on the beak
christmas is ace when you live in Speke....

My favourite has to be the Pogues and the late Kirsty McCaul singing Fairytale in New York.

But I see the PC brigade have bleeped a few words out of it this year on Radio One.

Yeah they do my head in too.
Just heard that now they're trying to ban the saying Merry christmas.!!
Because Muslims,jews etc are not Merry.They reckon it should be "seasons greetings".
Well my teddy mohammed is merry!!

I bought my Teddy mohammed for £5 then sold him for £10. That makes him a prophet.

Last time I walked Toby past a Mosque the guy called me Jesus.

Well as Toby was sinking his teeth into his arse I head him shouting "Jesus get him away from me":unibrow:

DITTO!

I'm listening to a wee lassie called Connie Talbot who is just 6 singing "Silent Night".

I have to say that Silent Night is my all time favourite Christmas song.

I like this one very much

Greg Lake

yes Catarina, Mary's Boy Child is best xmas song.

There is a bit in the local rag which says the first verse of this song is...
The sun is shining the grass is green
The orange and the palm trees sway
Theres never been such a day
In Beverly Hills LA
But its December the 24thAnd I'm longing to be up north...
I'm dreaming of a white christmas ect ect.

Did anyone know that?

I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas.

This is a good one with the mixed choirs at St Barnabas Church Penny Lane

Thanks Taffy, that is very nice :)

Thanks. Glad you liked it.The choir of St Barnabas Church Penny Lane has a major claim to fame. Sir Paul McCartney of Beatles fame honed his singing skills in the St Barnabas Choir of the 1950s.

Barny's Hall we used to call it. It was used for Discos and all sorts of things.

Barney's Hall was the church hall on Penny Lane, now called Dovedale Towers The choir of course sang in the church. I do believe the Beatles sang at Barnie's Hall as well. See
