Nah, Last Christmas... :NAA:

Driving Home for Xmas is the next best after Fairy Tale.

I've said it probably years ago but my actual favourite Christmas song is Christmas Rapping by the Waitresses, the guitar is mesmerising, almost like a chant :stocking:


I love that one!

I like What Christmas means to me by Hanson.

Stevie Wonder recorded it, as well as others, but Hanson's version is my fave.

She wasn't!

I already said that Fairy Tale is too folksy for me. That doesn't mean Kirsty was a folk singer. Do you think her song about Elvis in the chip shop was a folk song?


Country folk, it was a platform for me into Dixie Punk and Dixie Rock. A brilliantly produced single that would make Nile Rogers jealous.


Country and Western more like. She put on an accent for that one as well. What about A New England?


True folk, the song of the common people. Billy Bragg may be a twat at times but he caught the mood.

Oh yes! I played on a proper speaker and it's quite clear. It sounds more like a piano on my little speaker. :laughing:

Yeah it takes some picking apart. Don't get me started on annoying bongs on Steely Dan songs though... :shake head:

Perfect production indeed :snooty:
