RocKwiz Xmas Special; Tex Perkins & Clare Bowditch

[baird55aus]

@DrLRonHoover Is it because he doesn't sing in an American accent that you have a problem with him. Look at him as Australia's Geldoff.



[XxXstaggerXxX]

gotta love tex . i prefer this now to any other version ! 12 people are old sluts on junk

[Ferretgirrl]

Possibly because we (sydneysiders/aussies) have been LOVING Tex & Claire individually for YEARS in so many musical contexts - this is a FANTASTiC celebration of christmas and ROCKWiZ

so if you think it sux - you can pull it out your arse!!!

[roisinben]

good job. This is a tough song to get as far as 'feel'. Excellent.

[Tangoedout]

Never heard a better cover!!

[mazdabator6]

grow up- its tex- hes prob had a few xmas bevvies! its original

[ILOVELOVELOVEHP]

This is awful!

[mazdabator6]

grow up- its tex- hes had a few xmas bevvies- its oz original

[DrLRonHoover]

This is feckin awful. Who is this gobshite and why the feck does he think he can sing. I've heard better versions comin out me arse.

[WilliamOfTheFuture]

are they covering the pogues?

[reds2001]

great man&lady great song .ynwa

[thefakedoctorphil]

Rockwiz... ain't a show like it anywhere

[Skeletor82]

Tex gets an 8/10 for his Macgowan. Bowditch gets a 3/10 for her McColl

[MegaFuku2]

Fuck! They are awesome.

[ozgribbo]

A bit harsh. Not a bad effort with minimal rehearsal and the Rockwiz backing. at least it exposed the song to a lot of people who had never heard it before.

[bengesing]

Not good. They screw up the lyrics a couple of times. And they come nowhere near the feeling of the song, it's as if they just reading the lyrics.

[NiMur90]

not bad....but get the lyrics right!

[YonderWanderer]

This is a horrible version of this song.

[chrislewis1981]

OMG my fave Christmas song ever but I somehow feel I now have AIDS after listening to this version!

[Schuhu8689]

somehow crap if you know the original

[mod69]

awful no soul

[jimlogue]

Not as good as the pogues but not bad

[donziz1353]

alright, this is an amazing song, but not when these people are singing it, its terrible and they take the spirit right out of it, not to mention they cant even get the lyrics right....

[2damnoldforUtube]

I wouldn't say they take the spirit right out of it, it's more a case of not being able to capture it to begin with. It's one of those songs that should never be covered anyway.

[natallowed]

Easily the best Christmas song♥ I remember watching this on RockWiz, Tex Perkins is such a funny guy♥ and with Claire Bowditch :)

[OffSpinner6]

Excellent- better than the pogues!!!

[comediananton]

The pogues is much better

[Roxymercury]

Ahh Clare... my dream woman doing a duet with tex of my favourite song ever.... I love it!!!

[tonyd05]

the sax player is Joe Camilleri a local live gig legend in Australia. Most of the performances on the Rockwiz show are somewhat impromptu and the musos get to show what they are really made of. Well worth a look for Aussie content in all forms of music.

[ih8flys]

the sax player ruins it for me a little, it's a little too mickey mouse and cheesy for this song,

[arnoldker]

This song has gotta take the cake over any other christmas song

[adamf1984]

im exacly the same as u clray1.watched this song on sbs about 35 min ago funny to find out its about 2-3 years old still great passionate song

[clray1]

just watched it on sbs tonight. had to come and find it and watch again. love it

[chrisb1953]

My favourite Xmas song. 2nd only to Kirsty & The Pogues.

[leanda27]

im sure he's nick caves brother somewhere in there. he and clare do a good duet 2gether. due to the lyrics this song makes them a good match. worth a watch yet again and again.

[WeCouldGetArrested]

He is ok but she is eh. I really like KT Tunstall's version

[mediapuzzle]

geez Tex is really singin like he means it. very good!

[waz416]

now this is how u SING son......absolutely immaculate.....perfect .......loved it...!!!!....PEAC EOUT

[lilymaemartin2008]

I love the song by the pogues and i love clare, but this is pretty bad

[ijustsigneduptobagu]

that was a fucking great cover of a fucking great song. the rockwiz house band are fantastic.

[scosofok06j]

Great Work Tex

Rockwiz is the best

THE ESPY ROCKS

[steve737679]

The Pogues or Tex, both excellent, but u r right, she is no Kirsty, but she don't swim with speedboats either.....

[lynxp95]

[TheOriginalStalker]

[goldenzelle]
