[benedictwiesner]

this shit plays at my work and it is seriously the worst song i have ever hear in my life

[fcvertigo]

@benedictwiesner So bad you looked it up on YouTube...



[benedictwiesner]

@fcvertigo I looked it up so i could post about how awful it is in hopes that the creators of the song would see the comment. seriously if anyone likes this song they are music retarded.

[chrisnoaro1]

@benedictwiesner Wow you are the one that is retarded.

[revol148]

@benedictwiesner I love this song - where am I going wrong in life? What music do you suggest I get into or is it all too late for me?

[butterpoop]

@benedictwiesner you work at Marshalls TJ Maxx I take it????

[Smartiepants70]

Best Christmas single ever - in fact, probably the only good Christmas song ever...

[chrisnoaro1]

@Smartiepants70 Cristina's 'Things Fall Apart' is great too - check it out.

[depechemodeforever]

good song.

[206898195311]

Who's the guy!!!  The lead singer of The Charlatans, Tim Burgess.

[DCFC79]

whos the guy

[mralan1969uk]

Where's the original video ppl? with Richard O'Sullivan, it was cool as ....

[postmdernsleaze]

Clearly the TOTP2 people didn't do their homework, as Bob Stanley in Saint Etienne was, in fact, born on Xmas Day!

[vegbloke]

the double sax every other line on the verse reminds me of a Donna Summer track, Love's Unkind and Hit The North by The Fall. Probably lots of other examples but a classic sax riff, well used here, lovely tune, very shortly behind Wizzard and Jonah Lewie and lenno/ono... in terms of best ever cristmas tracks.

[Kalsingh]

Never heard this before until I heard it on TOTP 2 lastnight, been in my head since. Ace.

[Rossagues]

The Corus gets me every time.. the best bit of the song!

[chasingparkedcars]

Sarah and Tim.  Ahhhh......

[jboyle4eva]

If you working in Next this Christmas......you probably hate this song too :P

[idermot]

@jboyle4eva SOOOOOO TRUE!!!!

[RosieRum]

I was born on Christmas Day too! love this xxx

[350125Stay]

This is never included in those boring Christmas Top XXX countdowns they have at this time of year, but how cool and romantic it is! I was always jealous of the way he looked.

[ruthie10101010]

@350125Stay amazingly, it was on TOTP 2 tonight!! Christmas special.

[GarFangleAndTheGoods]

Indie Christmas! Yeah man. Check out another future carol on our home page. We're not as pretty as these two mind.

[TheKenney81]

Great tune,wish it were xmas now

[numanoid17]

This song was spot on:)))) I used to play it over and over when it was first released:))

Danny Jimenez

aka Numanoid17

[depechemodeforever]

[markfitzpat74]

I can't believe this song is from '93, i was in my first year of college...those were the good ol days

[chasingparkedcars]

Sarah is hot!

[thespermdonor]

Are the rest of the Charlatans backing Tim in this?

[theEvo77]

why cant I find the original video anymore... It's cool!

[TheComplainer]

Digging it....

[Drevilsea]

I think its a very good Christmas tune, however anything on repeat in a shop can drive even the best of us over the edge.

[HitchikersBlues]

All in all i think this is a pretty good christmas song, considering that nobody can fuckin write a decent crimbo tune anymore.

Takes me back, i was about 16 had my first job in a once great Irish pub.

god be with days!

[swiftconqueror]

lol You too natalie2k8? I hear it everyday :( Its like there are no other songs on the CD lol

[shortbloke72]

Is that Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream on the right, strumming something?

[wmatsuzoe]

[afjguk]

No, Tim burgess is singing, not strumming something!

[bedsitter1982]

[AdmiralBirdseye]

Since when was being born on Christmas Day a good thing? It blows.

[afjguk]

They wrote it because band member Bob Stanley was actually born on Christmas Day
