Christmas vs Crackers International

#1 Post by York Minster »

What with the Erasure charity single and bitching about PSB vs Erasure chart placements, I thought we could put the two Xmas EPs up against each other (whichever version of CI you feel is the "main one").
And tryin' to figure out what happened to 'Germaine Propaine'
"He couldn't have fell off that hard" Ain't no way
"What happened to the way you was rappin' when you was scandalous
That Canibus turned into a television evangelist"
Plus he raps with his regular voice [BOOSH! BOOSH!]
[BOOSH! BOOSH!] (What was that?) Pet Shop Boys

I will certainly listen to PSB Christmas a few times, but my favourite Christmas single is December Songs, released in 1997, by Swedish band Weeping Willows. It includes a cover of John Prine's "Christmas in prison" and two originals, not exactly Christmas songs but the beautiful "My wish came true" at least features sleigh bells and a lovely trumpet solo. It's not on Youtube (neither Spotify) yet, but I have to upload it for you there!

Their "Christmas in prison" cover is here though:

I'd most rather be listening to Who's The Daddy Now?'s "Daddy Christmas" single/EP.
