Happy Xmas

No xmas for John Quays.

No x-mas for John Quays gets my vote

protein protection christmas fucking rules. best christmas song this decade.

Hark the Herald, clearly, though it could have done with being twice as long, Ol' Gang style, with a couple of completely instrumental verses at the beginning. I can't hear this carol any more without wanting to slur "living long across the heavens" in the middle of it. :rolleyes:

good choice

Which puts you in the mood this year?

No Xmas For John Quays puts me in the mood every year although I'm not totally sure which mood.

Hark The Herald Angels Sing

I wanted to make a xmas card/cd of it as my christmas greeting to friends and family this year, but didn't in the end :(

'feeling numb'.

no xmas for junkies

this is turning into an xmas album

now that would be good

Went back to 1979.

"Make sure the album this song is on is in your Xmas stocking" indeed... can't rate this as an Xmas song mainly 'cos it came out in mid-March. But I do like Xmas with Simon, that's a real seasonal ditty.

Time we had another one, surely?

Definitely (We Wish You) A Protein Christmas.

I play that CD more than most of the albums. An absolutely fantastic 'Recovery Kit' on it too.

Genius. :beer:

Noels Chemical Effluence??

I always find 'Disney's Dream Debased' very feastive.

Just out of interest,do you know what that song is about duck,s?

Someone getting their head ripped off on a ride.


Imeant the music rather than the lyrics.

Feelin' Numb!

No Christmas for John Quays is the one for me. B)

I've only heard Hark the Herald Angels twice & I don't really fancy hearing it again :o

Honorary mentions:

Calender; “Hey, don't you want to be caught unbrainwash today? October gives way to Christmas…”

Kicker Conspiracy; “Former fan at the bus stop, treads on the ball at his feet, in the Christmas rush.”

Ludd Gang; “I hate the guts of Shakin' Stevens for what he has done. The massacre of Blue Christmas, on him I'd like to land one on.”

Nearly-rans: Deer Park, Elves, Iceland, Winter.

“In fact may I digress a moment? I had a dream the other night actually where I sort of appeared in this Christmas card. The scene was like a Typhoo double decker, Victorian. The streets were covered with snow and I said; ‘Where are you going?’ and he said ‘I'm the editor and I'm taking my staff to see their annual Disney treat at the local picture house." From the acclaimed play, Hey! Luciani

“I must admit I don't like Christmas in England because everywhere closes down for three weeks. It's disgusting. You can't get any bread or milk and that’s what the song's about. Christmas is more of a family time... where families can beat each other up.” MES interview, 1990

Protein Xmas. Genius!

Isaac Newton. Genius!

Your turn.

Feeling Numb should also be mentioned in dispatches here...

Ah yes. Very good.
Brava!


:applaud:

I decline.

Merry Christmas!!!! :beer:

shouldn't this be in the Fall polls section?

It would be too obvious to go with "No Xmas.." and to be honest I do not really think of it as a Christmas tune anyways.

"Hark.." could have been a belter were it not for the carol singer chorus. As it is I've gone for "Jingle Bell Rock". Great cover.

Technically, yes.
But it's a companion poll to the Christmas Records one, and I'd hate to break them up.

Mine's with Simon.
FALL Xmas gigs tend to be stormers don't they?

I love what they did with Hark The Herald Angels Sing, but my vote has to be Jingle Bell Rock, as it's one of goddamn funniest things I've ever heard. I wonder if the late Mr. Peel was laughing his ass off when The Fall were recording this session. I would have been.

“Happy Christmas! We are frightened 'cos at Christmas, Santa never comes for junkies.” MES onstage, December 1977

Bump.

No Xmas...
I'll be in that mood this year, even if i'm not named John.

Too late!

No 'Elves'?

(We Wish You) A Protein Christmas

Great stuff, even a few ho-ho-hos in there... :lol:

No Xmas might be even better, but it lacks that festive feeling.
'Happy Holiday' great as well...

Another festive... BUMP!

Still true. -_-

jingle bells rock!!!
