Mike Oldfield - In Dulci Jubilo

[UncleSlim64]

Mike Oldfield is a truly talented musician. This I regard as one of his best ever, and indeed, an all-time great. Top of the class Mike. :)

[clairehealy02]

I have had this song in my head for weeks! Only now have I managed to find it, finally!

[24697298]

Genius

[john5000ize]

This track shouldn't just be for Christmas. It should be played anytime.

[UncleSlim64]

@john5000ize Spot-on. I couldn't agree more.

[Jw84be]

Legend!

In December 1975, had they brought out electronic multi-tracking or was it still done using tape?

[Jynt0]

I must have heard this lovely song about a decade ago at primary school, and almost forgot it until I heard it again in a shop last year. I needed to know what it was called, but didn't find out until today, when I was lucky enough to hear it on TV. I was so happy I literally danced for two minutes while it played.

My thanks go to my SoundHound app, which pointed me to this page. And thank you to Mike Oldfield for turning me into a little kid who is excited about Christmas!

[0112matt]

What a tune... First performed in the 14th century.... My fav Xmas tune ever...

[Steinbach1984]

I'll totally buying a hurdy-gurdy! Yes, I know it's absent form this song, but all those other folk instruments remind me I want one. Maybe I'll offer my services to Mike Oldfield for another version :p

[alanlovedog]

i always imagine this is being performed live in a pub and gatecrashers start arriving and joining in - until the local heavy metal nut arrives and starts playing his guitar over the top - and yet it works fantastically!

[Purespeed941]

Belter, especially the guitar riff <3

[peterheinis]

Dit is te gek!

[TheBob0312]

@peterheinis Kwam jij hier ook omdat je het net op de Top 2000 hebt gehoord? :P

[TheBob0312]

What a great song! Always makes you happy and dance around the house! :D

[BlogBust3rs]

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE FROM IRELAND <3 This song fucking kicks ass... Especially when im struggling to walk or hold a tune! LIKE NOW!!! d^_^b

[Sabrewave]

If we truly believe in Christmas, then this song will mean something truly.

[MattQ94]

Please let me wake up in the morning to this song playing and snow falling outside :)

[KaleidoscopeStains]

[monkseyman]

Hooray for the snowflake button on youtube videos now!

[CaptainSlow202]

Blimey, I've spent all year trying to find out what this song is. I used a program on my phone called SoundHound in order to find out.

[janiscorden]

me n my hubby bin sat all day trying to think of this n have gone the numberous old xmas track lists n finally found it...

IT IS NOW OFFICIALLY XMAS!!

[Compy01]

For some reason whenever I listen to this song I just imagine Elves dancing with tankards in a house in Rivendell or something... something from Lord of the Rings or the Elder Scrolls or whatever!

[Darkstar263]

Probably my most memorable and favourite christmas song.

[OrbitingSpaceCow]

It makes me think of magical dancing Christmas pixies =D and makes me dance like one too!

[k3llz67]

[Angelsfallfirst08]

Amazing.It´s great

[GangsterWizzy]

this is what you call MUSIC!! proper talent, unlike fag's like bieber and gaga!!

[whitedwarf13]

@GangsterWizzy go away... neither justin beiber nor lady gaga have anything do with this song. why do you feel the need to bring them up?

[pturner7979as]

@GangsterWizzy Agreed.

[NightcrawlerLuver]

I love this tune! Its so...happy!! -starts whistling along-

[Skyrider1979]

great song....

[drzarkov1]

Blue Peter.

[Sazzied2]

@drzarkov1 Almost. Mike Oldfield did a cover of The Sailor's Hornpipe for Blue Peter. :-D

[anonUK]

@Sazzied2

He also did a version of the Sailor's Hornpipe with the greatest British Prize Loony of his era, Vivian Stanshall. And that was against Keith Moon, Spike Milligan and Graham Chapman, none of whom for various reasons quite matched up.

[Jermyn78]

Excellent.

[MrAlexeatsyou]

The original mystery guitar man

[MrQhuan]

Just had a dance show yesterday and performed this number, quality little dance and song :)

One of the best Christmas songs ever, and also a great tune in its own right :)

[MrPeterpiper1969]

[kilroy1963]

A very old tune . Bach wrote variations on this just like mr oldfield.

[ehm891]

[mrbeancounter90]

This and Morecame and Wise Christmas specials filled 1970's Christmases

[Jizmunky]

Don't know if it is true, but i heard he put this together whilst waiting for other musicians who were late to turn up to the recording studio.......anyone shed any light on this? Oh, and what a talented bloke by the way........

[scottytoonarmy]

@Jizmunky no hes just a musical genius

[Wizbang2u]

met mike in 84 ... and band aid

[DanielL5583]

@Wizbang2u [attempts to hold back envy] Why wasn't I born in the 60s or 70s!

[NewRomanticx]

Oh God, I remember when my dad first played this song, I used to do a weird dance to the tune ;D ah, memories! Lmao :P

[markieowen4eva]

@gaydad4eva gaydad4eva?

[ReticentArc]

@gaydad4eva If your going to troll, choose a less obvious name. Noone is in the slightest bit bothered about you or your point of view. The only reason I point this out is because I feel bad for you and your underdeveloped member. I know this because normal people dont have such an inferiority complex.

[DreamWeaversSpell]

listening to it in the summer! ^^ Took me ages to find this! Thanks

[shiona0906]

great memories of me and my brother running around pretending we were on horses to this song many years ago lol <3

[gaydad4eva]

@shiona0906 yesterday more like

[shiona0906]

@gaydad4eva theres a name for people like you its asshole!!!

[Phoneme1000]

Reminds me of that wonderful year 1976.

[Waylander7475]

i can't believe people are asking its relation to christmas!!! it is an intrumental adaptation of a song that it about the birth of Jesus! it represents the celebration of the birth and the glory that came with it!!! the song is Christmas in its true meaning!

[cogidubnus1953]

Brilliant...always one of my favourites...thanks for uploading!

[keithewright]

The song is a nativity song and therefore to do with Christmas that way. There are words to the tune which translate in part as "Christ is born today".

[MrDischargeandi]

Nowt to do with christmas but wht a talented chap.

[imagos]

great song! but what has it go to do with christmas??

[canalcomunicativo]

Mike Egofield

[nunchuckerz]

@canalcomunicativo his band didnt turn up so he did all himself

[DeckyStrikesBack]

[HIPERMEGAMUNDOCOMPU]

This proves that Mike Oldfield can play all the istruments

[tonijn1969]

[Yougeeaw55]

Looks like an adaptation of Bach's music for the soundtrack of a Mickey Mouse movie

[daffonfire]

wonder if he'd marry me?

[tolenaars53]

Yep he,s good.. And made Bradon ritch.

And as for Mike ... So muhts more than Bach or Beethoven.. They could onley play a piano!

[miamikelisasam]

He's very good at my fave christmas song!

[miamikelisasam]

Your very good at my fave christmas song!

[woutervanesc]

Is this the father of MysteryGuitarMan? :p

[Porrly]

I DID NOT realise this was by the legend that is Mike Oldfield until just now! If Mike reads this (I imagine not) I would love to tell him how much pleasure he has given me through music - inspired by my father who also loves your work. Thanks for truely legendary music!

[hadders81]
