    It was Ding Dong merrily and high, and sadly it was before VHS - probably before electricity for that matter.

    You did this. Abstaining. People died so you could vote on this niche corner of a declining website in this festive-based music contest. Shame.

    I know, i know!!! Mea culpa!! I didn't think to engage in strategic voting such was my distain for both songs. I'm going to stand in the corner and think about what I've done................. :(

    If memory serves it was at the Beeb in Wood Lane

    The St Clement Danes Holborn Estate Grammar School for Boys remained in Houghton Street until 1928, when it transferred to a new site on Du Cane Road in Hammersmith, where it flourished as a grammar school until 1975. The school had a well-known choir which featured in a 1975 EMI recording (ASD 3117) of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, conducted by André Previn with the LSO (and chorus). The site was next to Hammersmith Hospital, and is now occupied by St Clement's House, a block of flats and Wood Lane High School.
    They didn't ask me back for the Andre Preview thing. Voice was probably a bit gravelly by then

    I was actually considering including the Mean Girls version but with two versions already in I decided that was enough Jingle Bells being rocked :D

    Though on the other hand, you're evidently a tasteless bunch of snakes, so maybe not.

    What sort of two-bit tournament are you running here, Necro?

    That song has always creeped me right out. No matter about different versions, the effect is the same.

    It always reminded me of this one...
