"and i cant compete with all your talk//you're so informed//but you talk just like a lout//say yo la tengo like you're selling perfume//a brand new scent for modern men invented by cartoons"

Since you actually did ask

Right well...first off i haven't listened to any Christmas music yet this year(i do love it when pop bands release Xmas songs so I'm normally all over it) due to my current requirement to listen to Perfect From Now On three times a day...its a long album


but anyway...


my favourite Christmas song of recent times is 'Its Christmas So We'll Stop' by the ever-amazing Frightened Rabbit...itunes that bad boy, its worth the 79p


my favourite song that references Christmas in the title is Did I Make You Cry On Christmas Day?(well you deserved it) by Sufjan Stevens but its less about Christmas than you might think

my favourite Christmas lyric is 'i don't love anything//no, not even Christmas//especially not that" from I Don't Love Anyone by Belle & Sebastian(which is one of my top 500 songs ever)

my favourite Christmas carol is o holy night...does anyone remember when it was in The West Wing, my my that was epic...must watch West Wing through again actually

so...yes...indeed...you may be wondering why I've given so many answers to a question that only requires one...well...you see...I'm talking round the subject...cos...well...deep down in places Jack Nicholson doesn't like to talk about at parties, my favourite Christmas song is this...

"I know my legs are weak//but if I hear my baby speak//then I'll start running//She's got miraculous techniques//If I could be a song//I would be something that would snake into your room//and be with you the whole night long"
