Is this the most underrated Christmas song ever?
No scumbags, no maggots, no Radio 1 controversies here. Just good old Macca, Rupert the Bear and more frogs than a Frenchman’s Christmas dinner.
Although released in both 1984 and 1985 it never quite made it to the top of the sparkly Christmas number one tree but you don’t get much tougher competition that Geldof and his Band Aid chums, Wham’s Last Christmas and Shakin freaking Stevens!
Imagine a three year old Rory, still struggling to unravel the complexities of his new Transformer, being introduced to Paul McCartney for the first time. For all I knew back then he’d just won some tacky TV talent show and was riding on the coattails of Rupert’s fame (possibly the dullest kids character of all time?)
Anyway, I know a little more about Mr. McCartney now, apparently his group was quite popular for a time, but why don’t we hear more of this Christmas classic? Surely some festive DJ will answer my plea...
