Morgan Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Brilliant song. George has the best voice I’ve ever heard. Only second to the wonderful Elton John. The duos they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It will never get the credit it deserves because of the subject of the lyrics but I think "Wombling Merry Christmas" is a great song. "What Are We Going to Get for 'Er Indoors" is also an old fave of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrap that I wish I'd sung the following year's No.1, dont you want me baby! I rather slagged this sickening song on Twitter by calling it a crime against music only for the grown solo singer to reply "I was only 7". I felt terrible. Not as bad as when I heard the song, mind you. 🤢 Thank the lord The Human League rescued the year later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
