WARNING CONTAINS JAMES CORDEN

That 62) Jora j.fox one is really really bad, feel free to replace that if anyones got any better suggestions.

We have until Boxing Day to fine tune the list.

A few can deffo go and be replaced.

That last one for example.

Arab Strap -  New Year



Barnsby Williams and The Edison Carol Singers - Christmas Eve in Old England

That's Christmas Eve.

I just searched my records MP3 collection for the word 'eve'

Any final suggestions for deletions, omissions, replacements and tweaks to the 64?

I mean from anyone other than the Princess and me?

Personally, I really want VM gone.

So much so that I'd gladly see him replaced with this...

I'm not sure disqualifying someone on their political beliefs is the correct thing to do, especially when Gary Glitter songs are allowed on here. And rightly so.

I wonder if Right Said Fred ever did a song about the New Year.





It seems they didn't. But they did do a Christmas song we missed!

I think that might be more aesthetic than political.
