Best Christmas Song

xXxnaoisexXx

hey,
i wasnt sure if this thread has already been posted but i was just wondering what everyones favorite christmas song of all time would be?
Mine would have to be 'fairytale of new york' by The Pogues.:)

PowerHouseDan

Would have to agree, Even though the Most famous is White Christmas

John

Fairytale of New York is a classic all right. Never gets old in my opinion. I also like Coil's reworking of the traditional song "Christmas is Drawing Near".

Dinner

My favourite has always been Slade (the "ITS CCHHHHHHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS" one)

Pigman II

'Christmastime' by TheSmashingPumpkins

county

has to be shaken stevens,forget the name of the song

parsi

Fairytale of New York has it all - Christmas Cheer, Christmas drear, loneliness and the nagging thought that who would have thought than Shane Mc Gowan would outlive Kirsty Mc Coll....?

We can't forget good 'ol Cliff can we.

-Christmas Time, Mistletoe and wine.

Also, does 'New Years Day' by U2 count (probably not...)

The Bollox

I am a big fan of So This Is Christmas by John Lennon

but for comedy value it has to be Santa Claus Is A Fúcking Cúnt

Amazotheamazing

Little Saint Nick by the Beach Boys is nice enough.

Steve_o

Fairytale of New York (Shane McGowan & Kirsty McCall) and Jingle Bells:D

Siogfinsceal

I like Happy Birthday, I hear Warner own the rights now.

Innervision

Frank Sinatra singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

finlma

I love Christmas but I absolutely detest Christmas songs. The same rubbish every year. Fairytale is so over-played.

DaBreno

Stop the Cavalry by Jona Lewie. A personal fav, That and the Xmas Rte guide
signal the start of Christmas.

LegacyUser

Baby all I want for Christmas is you!

Kingp35

Would have to say "Fairytale of New York" as my fav but then I like Let it Snow by Frank Sinatra, actually I pretty much like anything by Frank Sinatra :cool:

rahim

Some of them would be good if they weren't played to death for over a month before the big day. Everywhere you go it's just the same cd on repeat. Awfull. It would be better if they were mixed in with other stuff and not played 52 times a day (figures based on experience of working in a popular chain of stores a few years back).

FatherTed

My favorites:

Have Yourself A Merry Little Xmas - Frank Sinatra
Home For The Holidays - Perry Como
Merry Christmas Darling - Carpenters
Happy Christmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon
Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid
All I Want for Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey
Please Come Home For Christmas - The Eagles


Ones I Hate
Step into Christmas - Elton John
Last Christmas - Wham!
Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys
Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney

besty

fairytale of new york is up there.
maybe do they know its christmas too?
so overplayed, but so good!

Ha Ha!!
I love Fairy Tell of New York tho

The_B_Man

fairytale is defo the best by a long way.

I always loved Fairytale of NY but it must be by the Pogues and Kirsty McColl. Not the christy moore version.
I worked in an Irish bar in Toronto for a year and they used to play it at least once a day. It ruined it for a while but now it's my favourite again.

Thats my fave too, last year it got loads of air play, this year its not getting nearly enough.
Whenever it comes on I do me bestest Mariah Carey impression, which usually results in my howling out the words, whilst trying to look sexy, ha ha ha, great fun though.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas
Is yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou...

FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!! Even during the summer it's my fave song!


It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won’t see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They’ve got cars big as bars
They’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold christmas eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of new york city
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the nypd choir
Were singing galway bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day

You’re a bum
You’re a punk
You’re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy ****
Happy christmas your arse
I pray God it’s our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you



OOOOOOHHHHH yyeeeaahhh!!

I'll second that not that I find Christmas depressing but that Driving home for Christmas is my favourite...

It's gotta be an oldie, you can't beat Nat King Cole for nostalgia and ambience. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, lovely tune.

I like Christmas songs, but I know what you mean about being the "same songs.." Whenever a new artist records a Christmas album, you're guaranteed to find songs like "Chestnuts Roasting..." and "Silent Night".. it's like... geez... there are lovely songwriters... they should write more songs! :rolleyes:

But to answer the question, I like "This Christmas" (Christina Aguilera's version), "Merry Christmas Everybody" (by Steps) and "When Love Came Down" (Point of Grace).

Riamfada

Right I have to work tonight from 10pm-6am listening to coveres of all these crap xmas songs.

You know R Kelly does a cover of Silverbells! Yeah!! SILVERBELLS And its painfull. All christmas songs are horrible and corney and should be banned.

meldrew

John Lennon Merry Christmas (war is Over) is by far and away the best

Feenikusu

Last Christmas, Santa Clause is coming to town, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.
Never heard of Fairytale of New York
