PH'ers of a certain age will remember this song, most will have heard it, but does anyone know where I can download it from?

My 10 yr old son needs to learn it for his Guitar lessons and we don't have a copy that he can listen to, I've not downloaded any music since 'Napster' so not sure where to look, I don't really want to buy an album as I only want the one track & would prefer to download for free if possible.

Any ideas?

Buy him an ipod... If he's learning the guitar he'll want one soon anyway. You can then download off the website for a nominal amount plus you can nick it and fill it with neil diamond to piss him off!

In the meantime, try kazaa or winmx

Not that I condone that sort of behaviour officer

Try Limewire loads on there, but of course I wouldn't know that!

It's such a rare song - you never hear it anymore (except at least once every bloody day between know and December 25).

What was it about Christmas 1973? The two most played Christmas Pop Songs were in the charts that same year - "I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday" by Wizard and " Merry Christmas, Everybody" by Slade.

If those two songs aren't played it might as well be the middle of June as far as I'm concerned.

Without these two songs there would be no Christmas!

The other day I went into three shops and in each heard Noddy Holder shouting "It's Christmaaaaasssss!" and then you know what followed.

Fortunately the fourth shop didn't have any background music or I think I would have slapped someone.

Slightly off topic, but Roy Wood from Wizzard is playing at the club where I work on December 14th (OMG that's next week)

Should be good for a laugh, and I'm sure we'll be having a good singalong with the 2 songs that most people know.

Anyone local to Batley get yourselves down to the Frontier (or Batley Variety Club for the older generation)
