classic -- particularly when you hear it amongst a hundred other, normal xmas songs

I really like it, played it on my show this week alongside Libido's Come On Everybody and James Brown's Santa go Straight To The Ghetto.
Billy Ficca on drums.

The bassline is the thing that drew me into this song when I heard it for the very first time!

How is this a new poll isn't there a massive iconic Christmas wrapping ILM love thread?

yeah i'd agree that Davitt Sigerson's cut is possibly the best on the ZE comp; an incredibly heartfelt song about family that doesn't make you want to vomit is rare enough but one this good.. man alive.

Even though I've heard it 10000 times, still classic.

stone cold classic

(and a great band as well, with plenty of worthwhile deep cuts)
Is Chris Butler still trying to write the world's longest song? I'm sure The Flaming Lips have outdone him by this point.

I'm pretty sure he finally fixed whatever it was he was trying to fix

Ha, love it when the number of responses to a poll far outpaces the average number of ILXors active at any given time. But I guess it was important to make your voice heard on this one and stamp out ignorance. Kudos.

In favor of ratio-ing ilxpolls to stamp out ignorance.
