"A feast of festive favourites as we play nothing but the best Christmas songs of all time."

On Channel 65, currently called That's Christmas and plays all the usual Christmas pop videos day and night, I've twice seen the video for Pipes of Peace by Paul McCartney. Is this REALLY a Christmas song?! I've just checked and it was released in December 1983, but didn't reach number one until January 1984, so surely few people associate it with Christmas! Isn't it about war and stuff?!

All this and I'm yet to see We All Stand Together, an actual Christmas song with no Christmas content whatsoever.

Pipes of Peace is about the Christmas truce of 1914. Which is why it counts as a Christmas song. yes

I don't know why but I thought it was about a football match between East and West Germany.

Or am I thinking of All Together Now by The Farm? hmm

That is also about the Christmas truce of 1914.

There's the Pope/Brown Radio Active parody of Rock Me Amadeus, about Franz Beckenbauer. It has an 80s racist ending.

I think it's supposed to be about every war ever.

It mentions Churchill but also mentions nuclear fall-out zones.
