The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl

[Foley]

What a fu***** brilliant song.

Hardly atypical 'Christmas ballad' but amazing ...

 

[Paul Cannell]

Eggs are nice.

 

[Foley]

Eggs are nice.

Indeed. Go well with bacon.

 

[SteMerritt]

I think it's a s**t song to be fair. Ian McGowan just can't sing.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Sausages are toothsome, too.

He's the bloke from Lovejoy? Hugely respected in the Sheringham region for his enthusiastic support for artisanal sausages and Walsingham.

 

[SteMerritt]

Haha, Shane... I expect Ian can't sing either ?

 

[Paul Cannell]

His dad played 56 times for Manure between 1950 & 54 and ended his career at Droylsden, a team Pep's looking forward to measuring his tactical nous against. With the pace and skill we've got I hope Jodie Banim's drunk as much at 39 as I have at 93, otherwise we're toast.

 

[Foley]

[Foley]

Ha ha, wouldn't necessarily be referring to you but here we go

I kept them with me BABE ...

 

[Oldham]

Lol good man...
And put them with my own

 

[Yellowlab]

Kirsty had the voice of an angel and has a great back catalogue of songs. Very underrated and taken long before her time.

 

[tonyw]

Can't make it all alone, I built my dreams around you......

Only decent Christmas song ever written.

As xmas singles go.... this one does have OUFC connections (there was an Oxford utd mix of it!) .... topically , well sort of, Holy Roman Empire (oxford based diy disco punk trio) played the single , and a few other tracks pre match in the Supporters club at the manor..... that was before Salmon's only first team appearance (in goal) against Birmingham city, final score U's 1- Brum 7 ........

incidently the kids on backing vox aka the Holy Water Babies , One is a current S T holder, another has recently led the team out (last season) the other 4 are still occasional visitors to the odd OUFC home game or two, and 'support' the U's from afar
