Now it's a station trailer.

It is not a Christmassy one.

Now it's the Happy Mondays and the melon twisting song.

Is that a Xmas song?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Dec 19, 2021 11:07 am

It sounds like Indie Jason Donovan.

Apparently, the band is Jimmy Eat World.

dunno

To be frank, it's not what I would have wanted my first Christmas record of the year to be.

Let's remind ourselves how that Jimmy Eat World Christmas track goes.

Wikipedia says that, 20 years ago, they had a platinum-selling album. dunno

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Dec 19, 2021 11:30 am

This was their biggest hit. Number 5 on the US chart in 2001.

It went platinum in Britain, despite only reaching Number 26. Sly

It is the most generic thing I've ever heard.

It could be one of a thousand bands.

All of whom were around a decade earlier.
