Do They Know It's Christmas?

YouTube Christmas Volume 2.

We had a get together at the club last night to spread some Christmas cheer and have a toast to Bill. Jesse and I went out for a bite to eat afterwards and despite the lack of snow it really is starting to feel like Christmas. The regular throng of Christmas homecomers have arrived making each trip out in public like a reunion. It's a great thing really.

I'm also on my way home to deck the house out in some Christmas cheer. So with the spirit now making it's way to the Embassy it's time to show you my all time favourite Christmas song.
I have loved this song since it came out in 1984. Watching it now I can't help but laugh but it still hits me. Take a good look at Bono when he makes his appearance. He looks like he's trying to make love to the mic stand but I still get chills down my spine when he delivers his solo line - 'Well, tonight, thank God it's them, instead of youuuuu'. Apparently I'm not alone either. It's gold.

Oh, and as another Christmas treat; in searching for that song I also came across this little gem. Prepare to laugh. I am beside myself after watching this video. I'm lost for words but I pledge to dedicate a full post to this video in the New Year. It's too important to be a footnote.

As a footnote, though, I will relay a couple of Normy's favourite Christmas songs. He mentioned this one and this catchy ditty. If his choices tell me anything it's that he should probably cut back on his zoloft dosage. The Boney M guy is an early frontrunner for Normy's Halloween '07 costume though. I insist that this happen. Please? A guy can dream.

Enjoy!

Pace be with you.
