Be Excellent To Each Other

As I subjected myself to the season's second listening of Now That's What I Call Christmas (children were involved), I found myself yearning.

Yearning for a song that feels Christmassy but isn't actually a Christmas song, which means I'm unlikely to have heard the fucker 3 times a day.

My choice is: Somewhere in My Heart by Aztec Camera.

I'm going to make playlist of songs that make you feel festive, without being festive.

Try “The Bells Are Ringing” by They Might Be Giants. Nothing to do with Christmas but sounds all jingly.

AC/DC, Mistress for Christmas.

Wait that's the exact opposite of what you meant.

And that's why I came to Beex.

I was about to reply that this was the right idea but too mind-bendingly discordant to ever be listened to while retaining any sort of sanity.

And then I realised I had the Google Santa Tracker music coming through the headphones as well.

Without Santa Tracker it's ace, thank you.

I haven't looked through the them all, but week 10 of the original song wars

Had a Christmas week.

They are all very much Christmas songs BUT do provide some.little heard festive alternatives should my festive non-festive search draw a blank.

Aha! In that case dig up "Perfect Christmas Single", which I love.

In sainsburys the other day, they had a christmassy song. over the tannoy.

"Toilet, toilet wonderful toilet, don't know when we'll get there" or something

I wasn't aware toilets were that christmassy... But it sure beats Noddy Sodding Holder

Most early music, in particular gregorian chant, plain song, or unaccompanied choirs is sufficient to get me in the mood. There's just something perfectly evocative about Allegri's Misere on a dark winter night that I don't get during the height of summer.
