You might remember a few weeks ago I posted asking for suggestions for a Poptimists Christmas Compilation.

Well, here it is - all the songs suggested and a few of the least liked to provide the rusty sixpences in the pudding. Can you guess which is which?


TAPE 1 SIDE 1
Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas
The Chrystals - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
Tori Amos - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby
East 17 - Stay Another Day
Wham! - Last Christmas

TAPE 1 SIDE 2
Saint Etienne - I Was Born On Christmas Day
Pet Shop Boys - It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas
Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day
Hanson - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Paul McCartney And Wings - Wonderful Christmastime
Shakin Stevens - Rockin Round The Xmas Tree
Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry

TAPE 2 SIDE 1
The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping
Kristin Hersh - Jesus Christ
The Handsome Family - Too Much Wine
Willard Grant Conspiracy - Christmas In Nevada
Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer
John Lennon - Happy Christmas (War Is Over)
Fountains Of Wayne - I Want An Alien For Christmas

TAPE 2 SIDE 2
The Pogues Ft Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York
Mary Margaret O'Hara - Blue Christmas
David Bowie and Bing Crosby - Little Drummer Boy
Chris DE BURGH - A Spaceman Came Travelling
Cliff Richard - Mistletoe And Wine
The Kinks - Father Christmas
Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas (12" Mix)


Is it any better than any other Christmas compilation? No, not really. Would I buy it? Are you kidding! It doesn't even have SLADE on! But that wasn't really the point. Thankyou for your replying and merry wobs one and all.

Dick n Dom's initial opener when they pop out the cupboard at the start was Santa Baby, with one of them dressed as Santa... IN A NAPPY. DO YOU SEE!!! Santa Baby then jumped in the arms of the other one dressed as a "mum". they are so great

How does the Hanson version of "C(BPCH)" compare to Darlene L's?

YSI?

Mariah's Christmas song is her best - one of the few by her I can stomach in fact.

I love Christams Wrapping. Here's a short, short Xmas film I made that uses part of it for a soundtrack.

Please share the link with EVERYONE because the film will be out of season in a week and I'll be expected to retire it.
