| Don't talk to me about bl$$dy Christmas songs...why just this
week someone,either from personnel or security,got the bright
notion of continually playing christmas songs over the tannoy
here. Well as it just happens one of the speakers is right over
my desk(head actually). Hearing these songs again and again was
cracking me up...so after putting up with it all day monday and
tuesday I've finally managed to get my friendly electrician to
disconnect the wires to my speaker. Guess the final straw was
hearing a country and western version of 'I say momma kissing
Santa Claus...' song by some kid girl or other!!!!AAARRRRGGGHHHH!

Great song though.

| I thought Cliff Richard did do a good one once. Can't remember the
name of it though.
Ken Dodd must've done one.

| 296.11 | CR is No 1! | VANGRD::BELL | There must be some kinda way outa here! | Thu Dec 15 1988 15:31 | 8 |
| Yea that Cliff Richard one 'Mistletoe and Wine' is the UK No 1 at
the moment.
I heard a beautiful track yesterday morning on the Simon Mayo breakfast
prog. The 'B' side of ENYA's new single is a version of 'Silent
Night' in Gaelic. All of you over in Galway should enjoy that one.

Little Drummer Boy"

Re .17, .19 Russians borrows from Prokoviev's "Leuitenant Kije"
which was also the basis for Greg Lake's hit.
Squeeze had a brilliant non-hit called "Christmas Day" out about
four or five years ago.

| 296.25 | Wot about WHAM? | LARVAE::BRIGGS | They use computers don't they? | Tue Jan 03 1989 17:31 | 7 |
| Well, what about Wham and Last Christmas. I hated Wham, and I hate
George Michael but I have to say that I think that song's great.
I reckon if you get the NOW Christmas Album youv'e got a representative
set of the good Christmas stuff.
