Re: Your Christmas Songs
There are some cracking choons by here! Thanks for the thread.I am not a christian but that does not stop me enjoying or appreciating good christmas music.
I haven't heard Six White Boomers since I was a kid when a certain (now disgraced) Aussie singer/artist/comedian sang it on his TV show.
Even with my crap, off key voice, I used to love belting out the traditional carols during school assembly, especially when singing the alternative words.
(Hark the herald angels sing,
Beechams Pills are just the thing, or
Good king Wenceslas looked out,
Of his bedroom window)
My favourite christmas song of all time is Chris DeBurgh's, A Spaceman Came Travelling.
