Oh sure you do. You've just blocked it from your mind, like all of us at Xmas!

Never heard it. Guess being American does have its advantages

No, I mean it. I just watched the clip and I have never heard it. I suspect it's a UK thing.

Wizzard wasn't all that popular in the States despite Wood's reputation.

Huh, got a lot of information out of this. Literally listened to them for the first time cause my dad sent me "All Over the World" on vinyl. Was a huge fan when he was younger. And that with the Beatles, it was written inside the album sleeve, some sort of message by Lynne, but yeah it was more along the lines of "continuation".

I guess it is a thing this side of the water. I mean, it's a tradition here. Nobody hates the song (except Mr. Burns, as per my journal some years ago) but there are songs that are played every single Christmas without fail - WHAM's "Last Christmas", Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody", Mud's "Lonely this Christmas" and Greg ****ing Lake's "I Believe in Father Christmas" among them - and you just get sick of hearing them.

All the same, now that you've heard it isn't it the same song, almost?

Let's say it's cut from the same cloth.

Australia has the best Xmas song ever: Paul Kelly's "How To Make Gravy." I never tire of hearing this song.

The video is distracting; best to just listen and concentrate on the words.

that suits a lot of occasions we all experience sometimes.

Sad though.
