Christmas Song Amnesty

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I don't think I've heard anything in this thread I wouldn't be happy to hear in a Christmas songs playlist.

 

Even shite Christmas songs are good in their own way.

[Mudface]

Cunts.

Although I generally can’t stand Robbie Williams, and Somethin’ Stupid is a Christmas number one rather than an actual Christmas song, I do like Williams and Nicole Kidman’s version of it.

A good hungover on Christmas morning sound as you wait for the pubs to open again. Not sure it's amnesty material but, anyway ......

Good thread. I love Christmas songs.

 

This is a belter - Light the Night from The Snowman and the Snowdog.

 

I watched this just today with my youngest daughter, I was severely hungover and have to say balling my eyes out. You don't get that many Christmas's with your kids when they're young enough to believe in the magic of it all, so try and ignore all the stress and enjoy the good times.

 

It's quite a nice video, too.

I've always liked the version of Somewhere only we know by Lily Allen, and the video is ace.

 

Another tearjerker!

Another animation - though not strictly Christmas, it did come out in December 89 and I've always associated it with Christmas. Always thought it sounded a bit Beatles-y as well. Dear Jessie by Madonna.

The Mariah Carey song that many love to hate is, for me, a bona fide Christmas banger. 
 

This doesn’t get enough festive love either.

Macca has had a few Christmas songs, but this is ace, with some Nigel Kennedy violin for good measure.

Can someone post the Pogues so we can officially change the thread title?

Might as well. Then I can post The Fall, Half Man Half Biscuit and Shonen Knife.

It's ironic that on the "great tunes" threads, Code usually posts shite.

How in the fuck are some of the songs here in an Amnesty thread? Some of the Christmas classics of our time are in here. And even the ones that are not great pop tunes will bring back great memories for lots of people at this lovely, weird time of the year.

 

When I was younger we had fuck all. After we kicked my ol' man out in 1980 he took most of the stuff in the house. We had no radio at home until we bought a 2nd hand one for £4 in December '85. Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin Stevens reminds me of a happy time and a newly found world that didn't rely on TOTP on a Thursday and Vincent Hanley on a Sunday afternoon. Music can transport you somewhere otherworldly but at Christmas it's even more powerful.

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

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.

[Evelyn Tentions]

This has got to be the cheesiest ever. I must of heard 50 versions of this as a kid.

I think Reindeer Boogie is pretty awesome, but I can see why some people would disagree.
