Elton John - Ho! Ho! Ho! (Who'd be a turkey at Christmas)

[gamemaster14neo]

Does anyone have any clue what the line at 3:23 is? No lyric sites seam to have it. It sounds to me like "Ho Ho Ho, He He He, What fell down the tea for me". But that just makes no sense. Does anyone have any clue what it really could be?

[MattyWestie]

@gamemaster14neo Hi there, he sings 'Ho Ho Ho, could it be, Watford are the team for me'.

[Npetsch]

@MattyWestie ummm....it's nit picking.

[tmeffort]

Love this song. One of the best Christmas songs......

[Elaineagility]

Thanks! It is years since I heard this - my all-time favourite Christmas Song! It's a bit like Marmite, though! Personally I hate Marmite and love this song. My other half loves Marmite - and is suffering as I make him listen to this!!! Lol !

[invitation2events]

@MattyWestie I agree this should get more radio play

[scoobertYTP]

@MattyWestie I can't really say I've heard it on the radio much. I heard it once about four years ago, then once this year. They should play it more.

[stillayl]

I miss miss MISS this song like crazy!!!!!!

[josieannpink]

I was playing this song when my son was 4 years old and he started crying and said Mommy stop playing that song. You are making fun of :Santa and he won't come to our house at Christmas. Its not nice to make fun of Santa. This song brings back memories.

[dewhistle]

I came across this one in my husband's Elton John collection, and now my 14-year-old loves it. We both yell "Wellies!" whenever we hear it in the car.

[ionahoopii]

They used to play this on NY radio in the 70s and I haven't heard it since. Always my favorite Xmas tune as a kid. Thanks for posting.

[waffleownage]

@MattyWestie nit picking. . .but it doesn't really matter

[foxygirl1977]

An undiscovered gem. This should be played as much as Step Into Christmas. Elton knows how to write a great Christmas tune.

[Aplaceify]

Sounds like a drunkin jam session...What a lot of fun! It really is a great song about holiday fun!

[Kristinaheartsu]

One of my favorite Christmas songs!

[heine71]

The flip side of "Step Into Christmas".

[heine71]

I like the HO HO HO bridge...

[AuggieDogProduction]

this was the B side to step into christmas on a 45 I got through the Elton John Fan club back in the 70's

[Seattlecarnut]

On my roof there's a funny sound of bells inside my head, the vision's blurred with colour, and all I see is red.

[brendalg4]

@Seattlecarnut its "snorting sounds" not funny sound

[Seattlecarnut]

@brendalg4 I didn't hear "snorting" until I played this video just now.

[brendalg4]

@Seattlecarnut I never used to understand where he said "bearded weirdy" or "Watford are the team for me". I see the Seattle in your name. I am in Tacoma! On your other comment, I prefer Ho Ho Ho over Step Into Christmas.

[Seattlecarnut]

@brendalg4 Neither did I, but I like both Ho! Ho! Ho! and Step Into Christmas. I live in Kirkland during the week, and Gig Harbor on weekends.

[MattyWestie]

@brendalg4 I guess its nother of bernie's uncomprehensive lyrics, like take me to the pilot not meant to make much sense, but paint a picture of sitting around on christmas eve getting drunk and seeing and hearing things (whatever floats your boat bernie!) in terms of watford, he is ofcourse ofcourse a huge fan (same as me) and was club chairman for many a year, step into christmas is worse, he holds up a fan membership card to the camera!

[MattyWestie]

@MattyWestie excuse the spelling, quick typing...

[oana1979ification]

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM CLUJ- ROMANIA!!!!!!!! HAPPY 2011 WORLD!@

[rayjk07]

Oh! I Love this one! Never knew the title OR that it was a B-side even!!! I thought it was a single on it's own... it should've been! (...but then the era was different)

[Troforso]

this ones one is 10 times better then his hitts, but its stuck on my brain

[ECN451]

I see this song in some karaoke books and was thinking of singing this one.

[BadgerBensonVideo]

I'd much rather hear this than Wham or Band Aid on the radio during Christmas season.

[C4CC]

THERE USE TO BE A FILM FOR THIS!

[50STARGAZER50]

it's on Rare Masters.. I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[vadamom]

I had the 45 and used to play it over and over and laugh! Even though I didn't realize what brandy was back then. :)

[MOJOPIN1960]

featured Marc Bolan on lead guitar ! not a lot of people know that !

[vixxijaxen]

took me years to find this. i listened to this every xmas growing up. good memories :)

[earussell]

Glad it's here. I heard it as a kid, but couldn't remember the title trying to find it. Great song!!!

[kaynedi16]

This song is my family's favorite christmas song. Hahaha!

[Greekpeople1]

Fantastic song... =) Genial

[spookylizard1220]

merry christmas in july!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spookylizard1220]

i love christmas and this song!!!!

[racerx719]

Why the fuck am I listening to this in June

[kittyprydekissme]

Oh My God!!! Thank you so much! I've been wanting to find this for a very long time. I heard it on the radio ONCE years ago, and since then I've never seen any sign that it even existed. I wasn't even sure it was Elton John, or what the title was for sure, but I kept searching for it on Youtube last Christmas, but I finally gave up. If I hadn't just now played a different video of 'Step Into Christmas' than I usually play, I wouldn't have found the link to this.

Thank you so much!

[12161euclid]

"watford are the team for me"! thank you! i could never get that line!

[EltonJohnsgirl4life]

I LOVE this song!!!

One of my favorite christmas songs of all time!

[calneeagle]

I agree that THIS is the 'A' side. Ah, I feel like I'm 15 again....

[MattyWestie]

Im really pleased with all the positive comments about this song, finally its nice to know im not the only one who thinks its awesome, maybe we should start a campaign to get this song on the radio. Bring on the beirded weirdys!!

[jbravin64]

@MattyWestie i already hear this song on my local radio station around the Christmas time :)

[Seattlecarnut]

@MattyWestie Why this song didn't get radio play is beyond me. Step into Christmas is a fun song to play around Christmas time, but this would make a good Christmas with Humour song.

[Viznel137]

Great Elton tune!Why didnt it get more airplay?

[Seattlecarnut]

Why does this not get the air play as Step Into Christmas? I love this song as well.

[iandunc1]

@Seattlecarnut fricken agree, my kids loved this......dont even know who the hell elton is!

[Seattlecarnut]

@iandunc1 Really? How old are your kids? Have they listened to Step Into Christmas?

[MOJOPIN1960]

and that's Marc Bolan on lead guitar !!!! love this ! MERRY CHRISTMAS !

[strangefruit42]

Christmas! That's the spirit! I know now with which song I'll annoy my friends this season! :D

[MattyWestie]

not sure about it being better than step into christmas lol but it is catchy and always reminds me of brandy at christmas, always puts me in a good mood! merry christmas y'all!

[vadamom]

I agree nuttytara! I had the 45 for Step into Christmas and was always listening to this one! It's never played on the radio which is nonsense!

[nuttytara]

Absolutely love this song. My mum used to play it every Christmas when we were growing up. I actually think this is a better song than Step Into Christmas. Maybe he should've released this instead. :)

[TinyDancer500]

Awesomeness! Call me a "beared weirdy", but I've always loved this silly song, thanks for finally bringing it to YouTube!

[jaynie33]

'bearded wierd' lol...
