Jaunty Christmas coloured socks also abound – something that could easily be adapted for the office this year. How long can one earring be?! It’s as if he’s making up for there only being one of them by making it twice as big. It’s also good to know that the trend that popped up a couple of years ago for wearing only one earring had a solid grounding in glam rock – and this is a spectacular example. Or maybe I’m just a horrible person either way my dog seems to find it amusing so I’m okay with it.Įqually when you watch the video, the fashion speaks for itself: it is impossible to imagine a man with red glitter lapels being sad about anything. …it’s hard not to sing along in a comedy voice somehow. It could be the utter lack of sincerity, or perhaps the slightly over-theatrical style of the vocals which indicates a lack of genuine heartbreak but when he reaches this point in the song: Glam rock on the other hand, via Mud, manages to take some fairly depressing lyrics and somehow, by wit of the way they’re sung, make them not depressing at all. Now, I love country music but I feel it’s safe to say that this would not be good introduction to the genre, which has much more (and much happier things) to offer. The prize for the most miserable Christmas song probably goes to John Denver’s Please Daddy Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas the line about his momma crying as his daddy falls down drunk under their Christmas tree sounds too realistic to be anything other than desperately sad. One of the things this advent calendar has made me realise is exactly how many Christmas songs are actually really depressing. Sung in Mud’s trademark Elvis pastiche, I suspect it’s actually a humorous tribute to Elvis’ Blue Christmas, which has some pretty despondent lyrics. (Spoken) Merry Christmas, darling - wherever you are.You might be forgiven for thinking that this song is the most depressing Christmas song of all time, but I think it’s actually incredibly tongue in cheek. (Spoken) You remember last year when you and I were here We never thought there d be an end And I remember looking at you then And I remember thinking that Christmas Must have been made for us Cos darling, this is the time of year That you really need love When it means so very, very much (It ll be lonely this Christmas) So it ll be lonely this Christmas (without you to hold) without you to hold (It ll be lonely this Christmas) It ll be so very lonely this Christmas (Lonely and cold) lonely and cold (Singing) It ll be lonely this Christmas Without you to hold It ll be lonely this Christmas Lonely and cold It ll be cold, so cold, without you to hold This Christmas. Each time i remember the day you went away And how I would listen to the things you had to say I just break down as I look around And the only things I see Are emptiness and loneliness And an unlit Christmas tree It ll be lonely this Christmas Without you to hold It ll be lonely this Christmas Lonely and cold It ll be cold, so cold, without you to hold This Christmas. It ll be lonely this Christmas Without you to hold It ll be lonely this Christmas Lonely and cold It ll be cold, so cold, without you to hold This Christmas. Try to imagine a house that s not a home Try to imagine a Christmas all alone That s where I ll be since you left me My tears could melt the snow What can I do without you? I ve got no place, no place to go.
