Cover up your face with soap, there
Now, you're Santa Claus
And you've got a gift for anyone
Who will give you his applause




Now, Santa Claus comes forward
That's a razor in his mitt
And he puts on his dark glasses
And he shows you where to hit

Are we going to buy the Cliff Richard Cruising Calendar?

New album just.... dropped.

[Butterfield]

Widescreen version.

[Butterfield]

My guess is that it's - once again - an album of "reinterpretations" - with strings.

[Butterfield]

Featuring seven decades of hits including Living Doll, Summer Holiday, We Don't Talk Anymore, Wired for Sound and the stunning Suddenly featuring Olivia Newton John.

No mention of strings.

Is that a real quote?

Is there a 2024 one where he's in traditional English cottage gardens?

Let's hear what the updated version of Carrie sounds like.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's like he's invented a whole new genre of music that's a fusion of Dark Folk and Yacht Rock.

Folk Horror and Yacht Rock?

Folk Horror + Yacht Rock = Yacht Horror?

Yuckock?

One for the readers of 70s Mad Magazine there.

I'm sure what all Cliff fans really needed was yet another re-recording of Carrie. Pleasant enough, but the "cha cha cha" sound in it is a bit naff.

That said, it's quite amazing that he's still regularly releasing "new" material, every year or two, even if it is old songs recycled into a slightly different style.
