Similar to the Recommend a song (http://www.isketchforum.net/recommend-song-read-t2405.html) thread, but for your favourite festive tunes!

One of my faves from the slightly disturbingly dressed Wizzard... (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VvjWrdt4jlY)

Good idea, Cap'n, and good work on the Wizzard too... and what do you mean by disturbingly dressed? I thought that we all dressed like that... As far as Christmas songs are concerned, I'd say 8.5/10, but I'm useless with giving marks out of 10.

Ah-kay, here is Fairytale of New York (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff3aoSyYOVs) by The Pogues, my favourite Christmas song. Shane McGowan had such a lovely voice... :(

My favorite Christmas song

Mary Did You Know (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABjzvhJ3EtA)

Deck The Halls - storm's version

Deck the halls with lots of Kleenex,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be sniffly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our thermal panties,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the commercial songs off-key,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the presents burn your pocket,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and get a bucket.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me to the poor house,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Where we shall find many like us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the cakes disappear,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new fat XL rears,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Mourn we sadly spring and summer,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Stupid, cold, dark, frosty winter,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Lol, nice one stormy. I like the "Deck the halls with lots of Kleenex" :biggrin: 9/10 because it's so true :)

I like this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kTkTHYEY0y0) song.

NONE. NO MORE. TAKE IT AWAY


On the topic: is anyone else horribly annoyed by Wham saying: "Last Christmas, I gev you my heart, but the very next day, you gev it away"?


(Okay, there's one good Christmas song, but Fox already posted that)

Baby, its Cold Outside.

Scrooooooooooge! :twisted: Haha I hear the same thing on that Wham song, I think George Michael wanted to make sure the original couldn't be copied by anyone...

I say Let It Snow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJp8UvNGxI0)

We don't have to rate these do we?...

How about

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sjwiwcUKK1c)

Haha, I've never heard this one before.

8/10 for comical value :D

How about this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2dnrosVyamY) one? :razz:

I think this counts (http://www.isketchforum.net/showpost.php?p=152843&postcount=7)

Best Christmas song ever ^

I hope this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=77Hg0GfsYoY) is on TV this year. (edit: turns out it was on a few days ago, oh well)

That's a classic :) brings back so many memories- 8/10


This is one of my favourite songs overall...and though I don't think the word "Christmas" is mentioned in the song- December does feature pretty strongly:
Once Upon a December- from Anastasia
(http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=QqdAGtBbD1Q)
As for more traditional carols- my favourites is "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Once in Royal David 'sCity"

I like that one mapsy :)

My friend sent me this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yt6cAzUCdkw&feature=related) link :biggrin:

Warning: Psycho reindeer brandishing a shotgun :o

Oh and there's this one (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=X4uLZcaRXcU) by the genius that is Mike Oldfield.

(Tubular Bells (http://www.last.fm/music/Mike+Oldfield/Tubular+Bells?autostart) is my secret lover)

We used to fun singing that song in primary school db :), and though I like the more traditional version, I'm not such a fan of that particular tune- 5/10. I guess the clip is entertaining...but it it isn't really my thing either :s, sorry.

First I searched for "Christmas on the Beach" (another classic we used to sing at school) to add a Southern-Hermispherean flavour, but unfortunately cannot find a youtube link for it....so instead I'll recommend:

Mistletoe and Wine- Cliff Richard (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=asq7TW4bRBU)

Cliff Richard isn't really my style but is Mummy db's style :) I shall it show to her.

This one (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1ArlE9oP1l0) made me lol :razz:

I've always loved this one even if the lyrics are oddly pessimistic for a Christmas song. Close call between this and Fairytale of New York for my favourite Xmas song.

Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FqOfXumI18A)

Someone sent me this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7TuNiAcVFYM)

Nearly forgot this one (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=QKUBuLzDtJU)- one of my fave songs ever :razz:

For anyone who needs a good cheering up (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0uizWNy3Q1I&feature=related) :razz:

Happy Christmas (War Is Over)

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

thanx john lennon and yoko ono !!!
