A version of this was Linked on PC, I immediately thought of Lara and our antipodean friends. I prefer this version for the video:

LOL Dave. Groan.
Can't get much more "ocker" than that. :o

I do admit it's always been an unusual experience hearing about sleigh bells ringing and building snow people when it's absolutely sweltering. I tried to find a few really Australian songs but there just aren't any apart from Six White Boomers which I loath to post these days. I guess the most famous Australian song relating to Christmas is the Paul Kelly song "How to make gravy" and it's a bit of a dirge about a convict in jail not being home to make the gravy as usual. ;) What can I say? :winky:

Dan is one of my favorite singers. I miss him dearly...used to see him in concert every time he came to New England.

As far as Christmas songs, I am OLD OLD school....
Nat King Cole, all the way....really, does ANYONE have a smoother voice?!
I think not;)

I even fondly remember my mother playing a Burl Ives Christmas album that we loved as children.

Cute thread....thanks. D.

Thanks Diandra,

Nat King Cole had such a smooth voice. I don't know why YouTube made the connection, but this one was listed under Nat in the Suggestions. A favourite I had forgotten about:

Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders is my equal favourite female vocalist, along with Stevie Nicks.
