I’ve been racking my brains for Christmas songs that are pretty cool but can’t be cast in the same league as The Pogues Fairytale of New York.
Have come up with two.
First: Eartha Kitt’s Santa Baby. Lots of covers (Madonna, Kylie, the Sugababes, Pussycat dolls, Shakira, even Marilyn Monroe did a version).
This is the best (lyrics rather materialistic but it’s still a good song and she’s gorgeous)
You’ll have to wait for the second.
Will have to watch tomorrow, ran out of gigs
Very nice
My favourite, out-side the traditionals is Kyle Minogue singing “Jinglebell rock”
I think this just proof that I am deeply shallow but remember I am the one who writes to the paper complaining that christens stole christmas from us the pagans first when they start whinning about the lack of religion in Xmas
Great song!
I have to admire your persistence.
Clare, would Santa give you this?
? ? ? ?
Who’s going to post Kevin Bloody Wilson then?
Sorry Quord. Not into Kevin Bloody Wilson But am into Kevin Barry. Which my dad has sung for as long as I remember.

@IHStewart Persistance is my middle name (metaphorically)
Clare, please delete after reading – someone should have this gem on the site http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/22/wikileaks-cables-michael-moore-nz
