Britain is plagued by Christmas Song anthologies that get replayed every year in places like supermarkets - most come from pop novelty records of the 1970s or 80s.
None of the playlist novelty songs are much good - although I have a soft spot for Boney M "Mary's Boy Child" - but the one really enjoyable example of this kind of seasonal offering from the 70s/80s is never played in public nowadays, and seems to have been officially "forgotten"...
For reasons that will become pretty obvious when you listen.
I mean, of course, that comic masterpiece of smut and innuendo from 1974 by then UK's favourite family-friendly humourists, The Goodies: "Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me"; initially just the B-side of a forgettable single that reached #13 in the charts, then flipped into a Double-A side...
Not even its most fervent advocates could say that FCDNTM captures the true Christmas Spirit, nor even that it instils good values or admirable ideals.
But I just listened to it again; and again found myself almost crying with laughter - as much at the just-right background accompaniment, in the gaps between the "singing", as the actual song.
Merry Christmas to one and all!
The woman in question clearly signalled her lack of consent to be kissed on multiple occasions-- standing beneath the mistletoe is quite irrelevant. Haven't we learned anything?!? It makes Baby It's Cold Outside sound enlightened!
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard that one before. It's pretty good. I think this one is even more twisted, though. I do not approve, I neither disapprove; I merely present.
