my fave christmas song of the 70s

[Potionette81]

My god those musicians must have been sweating away in those costumes.

[VeteranRunner1956]

Remember Chris Spedding who had a big hit in the 70s with Motorbiking ..Well my friends he was Wellington Womble on stage.. How about that then!

[shaftsbury94]

@VeteranRunner1956 produced first sex pistols demo aswell friend

[STEVIEFROMNORWAY]

@VeteranRunner1956

Am I correct in thinking Chris Spedding was the first/only performer to appear twice on the same TOTP in different bands?

[Stickyjay83]

how can anyone dislike this?!?!?!

[JordanR991]

There were totally miming

[MrAemandy]

Another Great Christmas song. No One on stage knows what the other is doing but who Cares. They're having a great time! Always loved this song. BTW who pressed Dislike by mistake?

[Feisty1967]

Should they really be playing Xmas songs on the 2nd of January? I would've thought that was bad luck. It is traditionally.

[freefallmaster11]

@Feisty1967 Christmas doesn't finish until the 6th of january nob face

[Feisty1967]

@freefallmaster11 Excuse me, how do you know what my face looks like? Youv'e got some real issues going on there, I suggest anger management, or perhaps a Psychiatrist.

[whitaker91susie]

@Feisty1967 i can just tell via your stupidity that you are a nob face

[Feisty1967]

@whitaker91susie I am actually female with a very nice round face and no wrinkles.

[alcockell]

@Feisty1967 Was a Christmas release, and IIRC it was No 1 for a number of weeks.

[gingy0vitus]

thumbs up if youu saw this on russell brands ponderland xD

[Feisty1967]

That is a cracking good song and it never gets played on the radio at Xmas time. It's a crying shame.

[andyjet2]

great childhood memories sensational 70s thanks

The person playing saxaphone in this clip is a Bristish man by the name of Al James, who now currently lives in Australia and performs as Neil Diamond in a tribute show called "Neil Diamond - The Ultimate Experience".

[grimTales1]

A Christmas classic - I'm pretty sure it was Mike Batt in the Orinoco suit too.

[2endcliffe]

Ahhh that warm fuzzy feeling! love it ,Thanks

[CUNN1NGL1NGU15T]

Let's get this to No.1 next Christmas!! YAY!!

[grimTales1]

I'm up for that. A happy song that makes you feel Christmassy.

[Kitsuneranger]

@CUNN1NGL1NGU15T I wish we could here in the US but we treated them unfairly back in 1974

[verkaforever]

Great idea! It would be the first decent Christmas No.1 in nearly ten years.

[chatham43]

.....a christmas classic.......great post.....

[coalfires]

them good old days with the wombles, no troubles no wars those were the good old happy days. thanks for posting.

[MannaMachine69]

Apart from The Troubles in N.I., Vietnam, power cuts and blackouts and strikes and 3 day weeks you're quite right.

[janeewart1961]

@coalfires so so true x

[Perranporth]

Undoubtedly one of the best, most catchy Christmas songs of the 1970s! Was Mike Batt actually in the Orinoco costume leaping around and having a good time?
