Queen - Thank God it's Christmas, probably because it's not very good.

Elton John - Cold As Christmas
Excellent hit, a No33 single from Xmas 1983. Cliff Richard - Little Town One of his best, a No11 single from Xmas 1982. Infact only yesterday I heard on BBC local radio another of his Christmas hits that never gets played, but was a huge hit and fairly recently - 21st Century Christmas, a No2 single from Xmas 2006. It's pretty decent. Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping, a minor No45 single from Xmas 1982. |

Santa Claus is back in Town.
Flamin fabulous, early, bluesy and quite rude Elvis song. I adore it. I have never heard it anywhere until yesterday, and it was playing in flamin' SAINSBURY'S, hats off. Co op radio cheers me up but I never expected that. |

Debbie Gravitte's uptempo, jivey version of "Turkey Lurkey Time" from the musical "Promises Promises".
Elaine Paige plays it every year on her last show before christmas on Radio 2. ( wish I could post a youtube link but it's as rare as hen's teeth, I can't even get hold of a download of the recording ) And, of course, my fave christmas hit, "Wombling Merry Christmas". It got to number 2 ffs! Why is it never played?! |
