I've not heard Slade, is it even Xmas without Noddy?

I've heard the Robbie Williams inspired insipid version, when I was down t'pub, I can't even remember if he did the it's CHRISTMASSSSSS!!! bit.

I can hear a xmas song being played in the background on the cricket

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?

Now it's Everyone Wants to Rule the World.

Now it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I think I might have to give up on this.

No.

Now it's someone covering Last Christmas!

I don't know who it is.

The screen is refusing to tell me who it is.

It sounds like Indie Jason Donovan.

Apparently, the band is Jimmy Eat World.

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.

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



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

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.
