Christ I always thought it was about a girl leaving them. Just googled it. Poor lad.

There is no amnesty - every Christmas tune is ace.

I think this is a cracking tune, but the band never seem to get any love, and it barely crawled into the top 40, so maybe people think it's amnesty material.

Same. Then as I’m putting together the Christmas Day play list the Mrs tells me not to add that as she doesn’t want to be depressed on Christmas Day.

Too many videos to see on my phone but while I dont think its amnesty material at all,Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas is among the very best made. Somebody will think its shite though.

Here it is. The best made in my view.

Nice one, I'd forgotten all about this.

And since this is an amnesty - I love the Girls Aloud version of Jingle Bell Rock...

Even with the bells and the word Christmas in the title, Saint Etienne can't help sounding like it's summer.

Merry Christmas Everyone is cheesy but boss. Same goes for Wonderful Christmastime. Neither song is amnesty material, though.

 

 

 

Wonderful Christmas time is probably the only Christmas song I still enjoy.

There is no amnesty, every song posted is a cracker.

 

Tears for Fears need a fuckin amnesty thread.

Actually the Tears for Fears thread is a cry for help.

Anyone else expecting Dave's old avatar shot to pop up at the end there?

That's nasty.

 

I'm guessing that every one-off novelty hit from the last few decades has got a far-less-successful Christmas follow-up: for every Ketchup Song there's a Cranberry Sauce Song. Buggered if I'm going to go looking for them.
