It ain't Christmas, until I've heard Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas, Pretenders' 2000 Miles, and this! Thanks for sharing this... I'd never seen a video clip for it! VERY cool to watch!

[sbarr10]

Wow, great audio quality on my all-time favorite Christmas song.

Gimme some MONEY!!!

[brunop541]

Another song i did'nt know. ! Great guitars and the band make the show

for a few pennies. They always speak from reality. With humours and class

No french bands or singer do that. Singing about love and nonsense american dreams.

Long live the Kinks. Actually, i'm a froggy , and that semms to last

[CaptainPillowMusic]

My all time fav x-mas song.

[theepicfail007]

This is awesome I'm going to get it on my phone

[tjgates4888]

Ray Davies & the boys were awesome! Great tune!

[tjsmith51]

Ray was always good at writing lyrics with a meaning and about every day people. From Sunny Afternoon, Dead End Street and even Father Christmas. What a brilliant lyricist.

[mattrass66]

Really applies to 2011.So sick of all this fake crap.Merry Christmas my ass!!!!!!No money.No jobs I got kids.

[henrycollier9]

Kinks' Father Christmas + Johnnie Walker = detox from a solid month of crappy Christmas songs.

[Sparky4Peace]

This song brings back the knowledge that we have been aware of the sheeple like behavior Christians have when it comes to Christmas since at least the sixties. It's all about buying toys for the little rich boys, supporting corporations that run slave camps in foreign countries, and making the .01% richer. More info in TheWoodstockConspiracy by Martin Rots.

[ToolGal462]

Hands down the best Christmas song ever written and recorded... Why it gets no play I have no idea! It rocks and it's funny! LOVE IT!

[janet5686]

Best. Christmas. Song. Ever. and perfect for the 99%

[RockPunkFloyd]

Best Xmas song EVER!

[scozzaro52876]

love this one!!!!!! <3

[Toffeeman1952]

LUV IT

[npspec34]

The Who had a good take on Christmas on "Tommy", years earlier, which is ironic as The Kinks inspired the Who, early on.

Merry, Happy, anyway.

[bacon056]

0:49 selfish little kids

[AnnaLeighification]

This is the only Christmas song I can tolerate.

[BassPlayerSusan]

@AnnaLeighification I see your point, but I like it when artists come up with original Christmas material. My favorites include:

Kinks "Father Christmas"

Gordon Lightfoot "Circle of Steel"

Pretenders "2000 Miles"

Steve Earle "Nothing But aChild"

ELPs version of "I believe in Father Christmas" (yes, Greg Lake also did it with ELP & it's a better version).

[TheRandySamson]

Father Christmas, give us some money

Don't mess around with those silly toys.

We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over

We want your bread so don't make us annoyed

Give all the toys to the little rich boys

[theateamrocks]

High Quality?

[dalekenbuck]

@theateamrocks Watching a Christmas video in April ?

[spanjoar]

@dalekenbuck Try listening to the lyrics. This song isn't really about Christmas. This song is about poverty and kids that never gets anything for Christmas. "Have yourself a merry merry Christmas, Have yourself a good time, But remember the kids who got nothin', While you're drinkin' down your wine..."

[Rapunzel676]

@dalekenbuck Eh, I think the quality's great and the Dr. Who reference in your nick just makes you that much more awesome.

[dalekenbuck]

@theateamrocks Listening to a XMAS Song in April?

[TheFacelessK]

@theateamrocks it says high quality audio

[sbarr10]

My all-time favorite Christmas song!

[SuperSatana69]

Happy Holidays Folks

Enjoy The Video

[GloveMan9]

Greatest. Xmas. Song. Ever.

(makes McCartney's "A Wonderful Christmas Time" look more like the turd it really is)

[xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

@GloveMan9 I think The War Is Over is better, but equally more depressing in some way. Both very good.

[hooeybrown]

@GloveMan9 "Simply having a PITIFUL Christmas Time"..... LOL. It IS a turd, one that Fido drops on the carpet and everyone avoids stepping in it.......

[screwyootube1]

@GloveMan9 Aw, that sucks... This IS a great song, and I'd say it's better than McCartney's... But to slam it is simply childish.

[GloveMan9]

@screwyootube1 - Did you even READ my comment? I think this IS the greatest song ever. And Sir Paul's bites Fido's carpet bombs (thanks @hooeybrown).

[screwyootube1]

@GloveMan9 You slammed Paul's song (twice now), and I disagreed. Yes, I think we are in agreement that Greg Lake's song is brilliant. I'm OK with you not agreeing with me about Paul's song, I just think that slamming it (here) was completely unnecessary.

[screwyootube1]

@screwyootube1 And yes, OOPS, I meant to say The Kinks' song, not Greg Lake's (another brilliant Christmas track). I think I had it on my mind!

[mybrucespringsteen]

merry christmas ray, missed you at the beacon for thanksgiving :-(

[atreb56]

Great song. My favorite Christmas Song.

[myblueroad]

@atreb56 Hi, Thanks for sharing this with me atreb56. I never heard this one before. Loved the album Low Budget by them in the seventies. :) xo

[kjcollins21]

GREATEST X-MAS SONG IN THE MODERN DAY!!!
