Marky L Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yeah. That dreaded time of year is coming and we have a couple of gigs lined up and need to included some xmas songs to liven up the party. We currently do Slade's Merry Xmas, but need a couple more maybe. Good singalong, easy to play, everyone knows them classics. What are your choices??? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) I always look forward to doing Bruce's version of Santa claus is coming to town. Seriously. We did the Greedies A merry Jingle as well a few years ago. Good fun but its not really that well known so we havent done it since.

markytbass Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 What about Frank Zappa Don't Eat the Yellow Snow, not really a christmas song but does have snow in it. Or maybe Hanky the Christmas Poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
