I hear it all the time! which is a good thing.
 
I do like that song, though Shane reminds me of someone I used to work with and would rather forget. They play it quite often in these parts. They N-E-V-E-R play this though; and it is hilarious to hear Elizabeth Fraser singing "Frosty the Snowman".

There is a hilarious interview with Shane MacGowan in todays Guardian, also in todays Independant there is a feature where they ask various rock stars their favourite Christmas song.

Here is what Jean Jacques Burnel had to say about Perry Farrell out of Janes Addiction' choice of Bing Crosby and David Bowie doing 'Little Drummer Boy'

"He's got no taste, thats why he is in Janes Addiction and I am in The Stranglers"

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Here is the rest of what JJ had to say

"Cliff Richard winds me up too. I saw him doing 'Santas List' on television the other night and it made me want to punch the screen. He's perpetuating a ridiculous, victorian image of a twee Christmas"

GIVE THAT MAN A STANDING OVATION HAHAHA

Johnny Marr is also featured, his choice is 'Winter Wonderland by Darlene Love from Phil Spectors 'A Christmas Gift For You'.

I despise Xmas music but that song is truly wonderful!

One that makes me bawl my face off everytime they play it (which is hardly ever. MAYBE once / year) is:

THE CAT CAROL - BY MERYN CADELL


The cat wanted in to the warm warm house,
but no one would let the cat in
It was cold outside on Christmas Eve,
She meowed and meowed by the door.

The cat was not let in the warm warm house,
And her tiny cries were ignored.
'twas a blizzard now, the worst of the year,
There was no place for her to hide.

Just then a poor little mouse crept by,
He had lost his way in the snow.
He was on his last legs and was almost froze,
The cat lifted him with her paw.

She said "Poor mouse do not be afraid,
because this is Christmas Eve.
"On this freezing night we both need a friend,
"I won’t hurt you - stay by my side."

She dug a small hole in an icy drift,
This is where they would spent the night.
She curled herself 'round her helpless friend,
Protecting him from the cold.

Oooooo

When Santa came by near the end of the night,
the reindeer started to cry.
They found the cat lying there in the snow,
and they could see that she had died.

They lifted her up from the frozen ground,
and placed her into the sleigh.
It was then they saw the little mouse wrapped up,
she had kept him warm in her fur.

"Oh thank you Santa for finding us!
"Dear cat wake up we are saved!"
..."I’m sorry mouse but your friend has died,
there’s nothing more we can do.

"On Christmas Eve she gave you her life,
the greatest gift of them all."
Santa lifted her up into the night sky,
and laid her to rest among the stars.

"Dear mouse don’t cry you are not alone,
you will see your friend every year.
"Each Christmas a Cat Constellation will shine,
to remind us that her love’s still here."

Oooooooo

Re: "Christmas with Simon" by The Fall. Tops.

New Fall single out at the minute called :-

"We Wish for You a Protein Xmas"
 
'Walking In The Air'. I can do a mean rendition of it when someone's got a firm grip of my cojones.
