Christmas Flashback: Jose Feliciano – Feliz Navidad

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Tim: This is a song from 1970 that’s big in a LOT of countries, and a whole load of people such as Boney M, Michael Bublé and Artie off Glee have covered it, but somehow it’s never taken off in the UK. That’s a shame, because it’s brilliant (as is this accompanying home-made video).

Tom: Another animated GIFtacular. I’ll put it in a background tab. Fortunately, I know the song well already: I heard it years ago when I was in the US, and it’s always stuck with me.

Tim: It’s basically a fifty second song repeated way too many times, but I don’t care. You can count the lyric lines on the fingers of one hand, but I don’t care.

Tom: Indeed, which may be why it’s stuck with me.

Tim: I don’t care, because the lyrics, and the song, say everything there is to say right now. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Tom: Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
