My Christmas countdown is telling me there are 40 days to go to Christmas and the music channels are already switching from whatever that it is that the young-un's listen to today to Christmas songs which is about the only time you will see Cliff Richard's on TV thankfully but they always wheel out the same old songs, i'm already sick of Noddy Bloody Holder and it's only mid November.
I am currently writing up my 20 favourite Christmas songs for Lucy's Museum of Musicians who deserve entry to Lucys Museum for December, most of which you won't hear on the Radio but it is difficult finding just 20 and some, such as 'Snowman' by Anti-Nowhere League i am mulling over wether to include as it certainly isn't a child friendly song and i am almost certain that what he tells us the Snowman want's to do is anatomically impossible unless the carrot is positioned very much in the wrong place.
I have gone for the 20 which i would have on my home-made mix tape and there a couple of classics, a few more punky or rock improved versions of classics and some which are not classics but i like them anyway and one which even surprised me but it is a great tune and is sung so well it does the hair standing-up on the back of the neck thing so i ignore the religious message (bloody religio's trying to claim Christmas, the nerve) and just consider it an amazing Christmas song.
Anyway, i will start posting them in December and Noddy Holder, Cliff Richard's and Bing Crosby will not be anywhere in sight except on TV and in shops on repeat until December 26th.
