OK, it's 7 in the evening in muggy warm UK, I am going stir fucking crazy. In-laws around and they seem superglued to my new settees with the usual dreadful drivel on the TV in background. I have cooked and prepared all the dinner, started last night. I've feigned joy and surprise at the gifts I despise (cheers Justin!) and am sweltering like a glassblower's arse because she insists on having the heating a degree or two higher for the old coots. One good thing about working from home is that I don't have to endure those poxy Christmas hits on an office radio or anything. There are a few I can tolerate without running outside for a smoke. So to break the spirit-crushing torpor I'm in I would like you to nominate your 5 favourite Xmas hits, and afterwards a special mention for the ONE which really gets on your tits.
My 5:
1. The Darkness - When the Bells End.
2. Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas.
3. Band Aid - Feed The World
4. The Pretenders - 2000 Miles (It Must Be Christmas Time)
5. John Lennon - Imagine
Most hated - all the cover versions most especially that hideous Rudolph The Reindeer by Destiny's Child.
P.S. In that dreadful old Shakin' Stevens dirge Merry Christmas Everyone, is the blonde girl on the front of the sled simple or stoned?
