'Last Christmas' - 7th Heaven (Wham cover...there's also an unplugged version of this same cover version which is nice too).

'All I want for Christmas is you'- Michael Buble (I don't really like the original version by Mariah Carey, but there's a few cover versions of this song that I like.)

Flamin heck this is twelve minutes long. I suspect more people will have a listen if you mention that what happens around 8.07 is the chorus to LWTUA with a sort of christmas-y chime to it, and it's not as bad as that description might suggest.

one of my little brothers suggested that kate bush song, which i'd never heard of. but i'm not keen, so it's OUT.

you're all bastards anyway, because none of you reminded me about half man half biscuit.
