Trav Le Bleu Posted 11 December 2008 Share Posted 11 December 2008 Personally I'm a non-partaker of the Christmas festivities, but my favourite track with a festive bent is this Featuring Tim Burgess too (let's give him a credit since the vid doesn't ) and a shameless airing of Sarah Cracknell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 11 December 2008 Share Posted 11 December 2008 Probably The Pogues / Wham! if I'm being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 11 December 2008 Share Posted 11 December 2008 If you hadn't started this thread Trav I was going to do it next week. This one is my favourite; Unfortunately you have to watch 2 mins of crap acting to get to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lildave3 Posted 12 December 2008 Share Posted 12 December 2008 Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry is definitely my favourite, when that comes on I KNOW it's christmas. Followed by the Pogues/Kirsty Macoll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nod.E Posted 12 December 2008 Share Posted 12 December 2008 I like Status Quo's one that they just released (It's Christmas Time) Am I the only one who thinks it sounds remarkably like the red drawf theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part Of The Crowd Posted 13 December 2008 Share Posted 13 December 2008 Not Can We Fix It by Bob The Builder?They could by the way. it was a toss up between the two but i think due to mister blobby being the only non human to get there let him slightly edge it, plus his song is absolutely hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 15 December 2008 Share Posted 15 December 2008 There seem to be many campaigns to get Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah to number 1 instead of Alex. I hope this works, seems very unlikely but have downloaded it again anyway. It's currently #4 in the iTunes charts and now is getting support from Radio 1, here's hoping!

Buckley set for No.3 Its better than Rick whos campaign appears to have faultered. Lets just hope this publicity puts it at least to No.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part Of The Crowd Posted 16 December 2008 Share Posted 16 December 2008 Leonard Cohen's version is on the up aswell we could be on for having Hallelujah in each of the top three positions, two of which are even the same version! the buckley one is my favourite though, such a troubled man and so sad he died so young, only 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word is thrown about all the time these days, but he really was. Had the greatest death ever too, drowned in a river whilst singing Led Zeppelin. Briiliant.
