  • "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth", various versions out there, although Shane McGowan missed a trick but not covering it.
  • The Red Red Robin 
  • The most appropriate one is surely 'All I Want for Christmas Is a Dukla Prague Away Kit' by Half Man Half Biscuit.
    I love Old Tige.
  • Christmas is Really Fantastic - Frank Sidebottom 
    Also, Christmas In Australia. "Christmas In Australia is different to Christmas here, they have sun and lager and we have snow and beer..."

    Talking of Aussie Christmases, Kevin Bloody Wilson has done loads of Christmas tunes. Can't repeat the titles here though.
  • Not British but 'Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas', 'Christmas Is Going To The Dogs', and 'Christmas, Why You Gotta Do Me Like This' by Eels.
  • What are we going to get for er indoors - George Cole and Dennis Waterman was a classic if it's type.
  • Everyone, thanks again for your suggestions, several of which are already on the playlist.

    I've got two follow-ups. One is re the lyrics of "Dukla Prague away kit" which I'm going to have to explain, live, on air, and probably in Czech😂. Is the away kit on the Subbuteo team, or is the kid himself wearing the kit while he's playing? 

    Now I've got another track I want to get hold of if possible. It's Springsteen doing "Santa Claus is coming to town', live. BUT not the version that's easy enough to find. The one I'm after starts with Bruce doing an opening monologue wherein he talks about "Me' n' Steve" (van Zandt) walking at night down a snowy street (I suppose Asbury Park), and then some kind of Christmas magic happens. It's pretty old - in my fading memory bank, I  heard it on Capital Radio back in the day,  played by Roger Scott, who was an early Springsteen champion. If this jogs the memory of any Springsteen fan, please lead me to it. Cheers!
