TWF World Cup of Christmas Songs

[Sniffer]

Stolen from elsewhere but let’s see if Fairytale of New York is the forum favourite. Last 16 finishes Monday at 9am. Last Eight Tuesday same time. Semi Final Wednesday same time. Final to finish on Christmas Eve. I’ve picked the songs so if your favourite isn’t in there it must have been knocked out in qualifying.

Ties
1) I wish it could be Christmas everyday v Stop the Cavalry
2) Driving home for Christmas v Mary’s Boy Child
3) Merry Christmas (war is over) v Do they Know it’s Christmas
4) Step into Christmas v All I want for Christmas


5) Merry Christmas Everybody v I was Born on Christmas Day
6) 2000 Miles v Christmas Wrapping
7) Merry Christmas Everyone v Last Christmas
8) Fairytale of New York v I believe in Father Christmas

Select your favourite for each tie. Next round tie one will play tie 2 and so on.

P. S. This is my preferred version of Slade. Every lyric is "Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall".

 

[Tony Towner]

1) I wish it could be Christmas everyday
2) Mary’s Boy Child
3) Do they Know it’s Christmas (as long as it's the 1984 one!)
4) Step into Christmas
5) Merry Christmas Everybody
6) Christmas Wrapping
7) Merry Christmas Everyone
8) Fairytale of New York

My favourite is actually Another Rock and Roll Xmas - got to number 7 in 1984. Strangely you don't hear it these days.

 

[The Bear]

Shakin' Stevens is my favourite. Just because it's bouncy and catchy. And it reminds me of the theme tune to Maid Marian & Her Merry Men.

I love this too but no-one ever seems to play it.

3. Do They Know It's Christmas
4. All I Want for Christmas
5. Merry Christmas Everybody

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

This is a football fans forum, and there's no room for "All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague away kit"?

 

[Paul]

Am I the only person on the planet who if they never heard Fairytale of New York again their life wouldn't be any worse off
