This song only seems to have entered my consciousness for the first time this year - a perfect tonic for lifting the spirits at the end of a grim and difficult 2021. It is utterly infuriatingly bonkers. Perhaps Santa will bring me a glockenspiel or kazoo for Christmas. If this doesn’t make you smile then call a doctor - you are probably dead.

Bette was not on her top game when she did this song. Tunstall was. Her voice has such joy! Thank you, K T! It's not Christmas, but you just gave me a thrilling one, anyway!!!!
Already the 1st December and Sir Ken Bruce has just played this awesome masterpiece on his Radio 2 show .I can just see and hear The Two Ronnie's playing this on their TV shows ,unless they have done already . Thanks Ken .
Aww, it was Sir Ken of Brucedom that introduced me to this version! Can't listen in due to work commitments but glad to hear the tradition continues!! Merry Christmas, lang may your Lei reek (ask Ken Lol!)
I have been looking for this particular version for YEARS. It was my favorite version that would play over the Muzak broadcast during the holidays in the store I worked in. I am so happy to have finally found it.
Some songs really thrive when sung with the right voice and style...and here is a perfect example! Throw in some creamy well-executed harmonies as well and I'm SOLD. Terrific KT.
You've only gone & done it again Sir Ken Bruce and that Isgiven KT Tunstall another spin of this awesome festive track . I'm sat here waiting for my favourite quiz Pop Master when at 10. 13 on comes K.T Tunstall. Does anyone out there what cd 💿 I can find this on so as u can play all year round . Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️ Ken and all at BBC 📻 2 xxx
Frank, I despise the same old crappy Christmas shit they play every year but this is great and my only other one I like is by 3 sisters called the Staves and the song is called home alone too. Try it you might like it, cheers, me.

I don't know if you've ever heard this song sung by Mina in Italian, just do it, you might like it, I don't like it, but maybe you might like it. Type the title of this song on youtube and then type mina
Not of much relevance to people spending their Christmases in, say, Accrington, Lancashire. As a record for the sake of making records, it's best summed up as pointless shite.
Thanks Vernon for mentioning this today ❤
This is one my parrots 🦜 FAVORITE songs ever!
This is the best Mele Kalikimaka! The best voice and the music!

Only heard this today for the first time on Radio 2. Why isn't it played more often, its terrific and should be played very loud. Thank you KT.
Can't wait for ken Bruce to give this its yearly spin 😊

Played today on The Ken Bruce Show! Full of Nuts and brilliance.
Absolutely love this version.

try a Marimba instead !
Couldn't agree more!! Only it happened to me a year on from you in 2022!
Top tune. I've bought my grand daughter a kazoo for Christmas so she can join in lol.
A Christmas staple. ❤
Never heard this song until today, thanks Ken Bruce!!!
He plays it every year. I heard it a few years back
Ditto-first heard this brilliant version many years ago on Ken’s show!
Brilliant version. Love the intro, lollipops playing on a skeleton, then the kazoos ! what more could you ask for !
Heard this version this morning on the radio. Thanks Ken 😁

Heard many versions of this over the years but KT has absolutely nailed it - like others I have to thank Ken Bruce from years back...
Best Christmas song EVER!
Bette was not on her top game when she did this song. Tunstall was. Her voice has such joy! Thank you, K T! It's not Christmas, but you just gave me a thrilling one, anyway!!!!
Haven’t heard this song, literally in decades and what a treat it was to hear Kate’s version! Thank you, Ms. Tunstall, for that trip down memory lane.
A brilliant Christmas song 🧑🎄
Love this version and the superb guitar work 😍
A great bouncy version.........my fave.
Just heard this today .. so had to hear it again 10/10

A new Xmas tune - excellent! An old song, but I've never heard it before by anyone. Thank you, KT - and Mele Kalikimaka to you, too!
Just heard this on Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2. Love it.
Not long to go now lady's and gents, Ken Bruce will be giving this its yearly outing 😍😍

I thought that your comment was written today! it is the 1st of December and ... Ken Bruce has played it on the radio 2 an hour ago :)
I have been looking for this particular version for YEARS. It was my favorite version that would play over the Muzak broadcast during the holidays in the store I worked in. I am so happy to have finally found it.
The kazoo bit at 1:57 is my favorite part!
One of my favourite Christmas songs!!!
It's a classic.....Patrick Moore would be proud.
Abolutely beautiful.one of the best versions!
Some songs really thrive when sung with the right voice and style...and here is a perfect example! Throw in some creamy well-executed harmonies as well and I'm SOLD. Terrific KT.
Go on ken 👏
I only had one real Christmas song before now. (Bing singing White Christmas) Now I have two! Thanks for sharing
More more more thanks Ken
landlord! A stoup of your finest - and bring us Festive Kazoos !
An 18 carat gem of a song

So as I can play all year round....oops
Brilliant, best Christmas song I've heard in years!
Love this chirpy version with the Xylophone. Sounds like it's being played on a pair of old false teeth 😁
It's a nod to the Chevy Chase Classic NL
Christmas Vacation
Treat yourself to some fun by setting this to double speed for a good time
Thus needs to be played all year round.
Only heard this for the first time today. Can't stop playing it. Think it will be banned in our house by Christmas 🏝🏝🏝
Love, Love, Love!
Very nice KT. Like it. Brilliant version.
+onedrydog she said thank you onedrydog
Love it
first year for me hearing this ...I HATE Christmas songs but this is the best ever ...
Frank, I despise the same old crappy Christmas shit they play every year but this is great and my only other one I like is by 3 sisters called the Staves and the song is called home alone too. Try it you might like it, cheers, me.
OutStanding!
Correct well done Ken.
this is fantastic . brilliant song
There it is! Man, this was hard to track down. The mall is not the best place to hear songs and figure out what they are.
if you have an phone just press the microphone icon, hold it up and lo and behold...it's a Christmas miracle...it will tell you the tune.
I picked the wrong day to disconnect from the hive mind. I would have automatically known that, otherwise.

Awesome!
Happy Happy Cristmas to all excellent
Most freakin' excellent'
Love the nod to the Andrews' Sisters in the middle.
That's what I want to know!
That's my mastered instrument!
My favourite version (yes, better than Bing!) of my favourite Christmas song… ever!
Good tune for a uke band

Catchy AF
epicbehavior get rid of your attention seeking picture, dickweed
thumbs up if you're listening in july !
no
Is sir Patrick Moore playing xylophone on this track or did I imagine it?
I thought it was Judy Garland when I heard it on the radio!
Brilliant version
Not heard it this year yet 😕
what d u think of that ?
I don't know if you've ever heard this song sung by Mina in Italian, just do it, you might like it, I don't like it, but maybe you might like it. Type the title of this song on youtube and then type mina
same riff as "hang out your washing on the siegfried line" from the 40's innit..?
Da fuck did I get myself into
Did she play the kazzoo by queefing?
In miserable, austerity England, happiness is banned. December 2018
Why aren't there hula girls dancing to this?
It is Weird
Actually Bette Midler did a much better version on her "Cool Yule" album in 2007

As is your comment
Oh dear what a SHITE you are
Grinch
Bruh this song pisses me off so fkin much
Nooooooo, you do not have the skills to mess with a classic like this gal. Not impressed 1 bit.:(
+Denver Stewart Don't be such a drama queen - It's fine :)
meh like she'd care
Probably just salty cause she made this song her own
