As Bing Crosby sang "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas". But, does it sound a lot like 'Christmas'? How many times can you hear - year in, year out - the same ol' creaky Christmas crooners and overplayed tinsel-tunes before you start tuning them out? Personally I really will pull this sort of a face, if get anywhere near another whiff of Phil Spector, 'Fairytale of New York' or East 17's 'Stay' and Frankie's 'Power Of Love' (and who in the name of Chris Chringle ever decided the last two had any sniff of Christmas spirit about them anways)..
So let me introduce to you ...a grab bag of goodies, a sackful of bootleg remixes and festive flavored funky nuggets that should get your jingle boots a'bopping and your cosy toes a'tapping. All have been masterfully mixed by the super heroes and heavy hitters of cut-and-paste-pop into fun size, mini-medleys of panto' season playfulness where ....

Nice selection, thanks a lot.
You better steer clear of my place for a bit then because Ive just put the Wham! video up.
Did you find the extra one at the bottom Enty?
Just popped across Davy, I've got Wham Rap on 12 somewhere (Inner vision label I think) bought it September 82, before they took off is my excuse.
That was really cool. I've been getting tired of the same old songs by now. It happens every year. It's nice to hear some Christmas tunes I've never heard before. Have a good weekend. Cheers!
Glad it's rocking your boots Keith - and have yourself a very merry tear-up this weekend
These tunes make a refreshing change to the constant garbage that's being played 24/7 on TNT or Crapitol radio. Nice one, PM - and Merry Xmas to ya!
