Friday Night Gear Change

There's a stomach churning semi-tone gear change 2 min 20 seconds into Cliff Richard's gloriously awful version of "When a child is born"

How could you?!

It's taken me a week to get rid of an excruciating 'Mistletoe-and-Wine' earworm courtesy of a comment from JuliaM and an assortment of local shopkeepers; now you inflict this on the unsuspecting reader!

McH, did "stomach churning" and "gloriously awful" not count as fair warning? But as forensic musical detectives, we have to establish when the real crime was committed, i.e. after 2 min 20 sec. That does not mean that we condone such things etc.

Threw up all over the place - waste of good whisky.

Well, that's completely f****d up my auditory Christmas - thanks a bunch!

As an antidote (or, rather, a contrast), can I recommend the Johnny Mathis 1976 hit here? It's as cloying as honey sweetened with sugar but if that's what completes your Christmas schmaltz-fest, feel free to indulge.

Meanwhile, from the Bloggers' Foreign Office and Umbongo Towers, Muswell Hill, a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous and Peaceful New Year.

JH, U, sorry but you were warned, see my first comment.

U, I never liked that version, far too slow and smug. And Happy Xmas to you and yours on the Hill.
