On your choice is our very own wise man of the cheap cloaks just the way the guy says good morning good morning says I'm a wise man I'm not so sure about that I think I think it's entirely correct Now if I'm sounding mildly Bimini Yes there will be a reason and you you know everything there is to know about music almost I reckon I've had a fair few of you in Dawson there yes and I suspect you've never heard this version of Santa baby before I have and I was immediately thinking of is no. Definitely not but. I just thought I'd get my Christmas baubles out of the box immediately this is May thing I. Shall. Tell you how to. Tell me how was this right so this is this is down to the very me a Grinch that is James work and here is at the same results night 15 years ago I was on a short lived program called Pop Idol and remember that Simon I will yes. Nicky Chapman and Dr Dr Fox and I made it. Quite far really came 5th and the top 10 of us got to make I think what you might call the seminal Christmas album I mean Phil Spector You know he's got for a good one but you know the rest of us he's got the classic Christmas album you know this sounds proper. So this was and this was this is the Steve Mack production. Him of all of the pop legend and to mine memory this is how it came about say thankfully this is finishing. We got to the top 10 and they announced to all of us that the final 10 of us would be making this Christmas album and so we got taken to this very fancy studio in London I can't remember which one it was but it was one of the big ones I think still going and I think we we got that 7 in the morning. And we've been given our songs I think a couple of days before Concord and and I wish I recorded that at about midnight 3rd been there from 7 where you do in between 7 and midnight when you jingling jangling Yeah I would jangling bells we all say did the world's worst cover of Merry Christmas wars over Happy Christmas was over my favorite song of all time exactly and it. Let's just say I wouldn't call that digging out. Be touching John Lennon. Ground so what. Happened to the album I think you can pick it up in a good charity shops Yes I think I think I think just a much as you can get quite a lot of used copies for one pig. And. The other side of the business I couldn't yeah I just could. Just say I returned to my 1st love of radio quite quickly after that have been here ever since but it's tough. What's the word that's a pop to me to some of pop. Things thing they didn't tell you Well it's obvious if you think about it this isn't in the in the until you you voted out Yes I mean it's obvious now I just wasn't expecting to get very far and then all of this. Yeah that's what I hear your voice sounds well I think they can do a lot in post production but if you've got a good producer they know what they're doing anyway and I believe you've got a track for me well I thought we could start with something that. Will not. Be very few people would know that this wonderful gospel path and from there started off in the thirty's for cash. Of Houston who stood in Houston. Called the Pilgrim Travelers and I heard this today. And it's called I'll Be Home For Christmas and it is just heartbreaking maybe to follow and it makes me want to live under a Christmas tree. In the. Snow. To. Be. The. Movie. Dream. I like that very much. And yes but what do you know about them nothing they come from because then they started off in the thirty's they were they were very popular in the States this is this record is from 1952. And I think right Charles was the fluence by them. And it's just the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. It's completely stunning is can we hear a bit more. Than. The. So that's Jonathan's pick for the song that makes it feel like Christmas for you so get in touch this is your chance to have your favorite Christmas song played live on the radio and tell of you and why exactly you think it's the best one so if you're texting as 85 and 58 on Twitter it's at B.B.C. 5 Live and if you want to call we've got cash in my case taking your calls tonight they are both fantastic Christmas elves on the phones give us a call Oh wait 0859096930808599693 mics given is a cool Merry Christmas Mike Oh yeah Good morning are all right if you are scared of me our users are silly how you can go every like and Jonathan say OK I saw her in America I remember strengthen chief for. One of my journey not staying here. I think not only for your own home Mr Wingate think safety is money made Jonathan However yeah good are you having a rock or a Christmas. Right I've become a bit of a Grinch a Christmas Jonathan are for the last 10 years over to work and New Year's Eve star system I mean we're on as well another thing a week is. Said to me I think and that music could change that make not made for it to be a great chain can be. An argument in music means everything. Means it can always think me think puts me in the Christmas so I kind of the feel like it's Christmas until I hear Phil's but Christmas album you know a bit of romance and I suddenly realize it's course. You know your music server and I just quickly run by both of your blogs Firstly always going to you know I've chosen their choice of Charles and I was going to cause the John the not the Christmas wars Iraq because that just takes me start next minute. That's on the best Christmas of all time the question I was going off hundreds of years and you have to kinks called Christmas night. And I've been wrong because once you see what you put a category output is going to show one of 7 looking to raise the. Listen to have Christians all watched it on video and then in the parks and then this kind of obvious the Kinks talk of Christmas so hush struck me off though I had supposedly fought off when he was on the phone and it's almost saw 3 months was anything not enormous but it's like. So had we us I broke boy youngsters in about 20 take. My seem. To want you to have to let that one out if that's not the one you produce about me was it make you if you got another file breaking up the high welfare is how to know you know the time thing you do that one day so I would. Be respected Jonathan John Lennon one I swore. When you get these 2 sunlight a gamble. I know one of the premier going on or are saying that was my original goal when you 1st for the surgery I mean that's like that's like a Dickens play is now in a minute so I'm used to freeway the phone in our. Christmas but there's a romance to that full of now think within the railway and there's the feeling under the same rights of. You can tell in an affection that can you between the day with and I thought it was interesting the who had this in the last couple of weeks with someone saying oh they shouldn't be speaking to each other like that. And. This is it's a pop song and it's poetry and I've got poetic license so I can say whatever. They want about what you are really most of time and cameras a car only violence takes. A shit on over our. Sally. I love this one to make it's one of my favorites. It was. A. True. No says. And. This is. This. But. I have to say they've done well read today the listener has got a mix choice this is a cracking Christmas song what do you know about it Jonathan. He suggests it's perfect says now I think you want to hear a Saudi memory that's just a random memory because not a typical post. I was I was at this Christmas party once and it's because of coast custom because no longer with us for ice. And I was at this Christmas party chugging free drinks as a company policy and then somehow I got talking to customers called who was saw and so the record label and we ended up together. I don't remember what we would have a lot of fun with customer call sitting around. A dustbin with full of champagne as far as I could I think that the best Christmas and exact time yeah this is really funny memory and I loved. You know I just met. Socially if we were chatting away and we ended up saying and. I think so. Good job he did really Yeah except I suppose. If you think about a perfect Christmas so that's it and he's like a Charles Dickens novel it. So I think people. I think people see Shane MacGowan as almost sometimes a cartoon character because of his offstage lifestyle. You know people talk about the teeth and the craziness and but he is a poet you know he's just he's up there with the best of them and so I often think of him you know he's got this kind of pathos running through everything he does so even though he came out of punk rock and he's a very rock'n'roll character he's a true poet you know he's sort of he's like a cross between. Seamus Heaney. It's never been a Christian number one this one today what kept it off the top spot. It wasn't. Now is that when it was originally released so when was it really it was released and everything I think in 97 was pretty well defends it's one letter to our you personally like all that so let me give you credit it wasn't it wasn't actually kept of to buy Christmas songs it was by 2 men in the keyboard. The Pet Shop Boys boys always on my mind that's a superb song and if you. Think it's a yeah but. You should be at a fix the child's just morally someone should have just taken a few of their sales away from them because it is the best Christmas song of all time yeah apart from the one you played they were in touch and ask for the details of that again because they thought it was lovely and they just want to get out through the Pilgrim program quite the Pilgrim Travelers Christmas from 1952 Yeah that's going to be on in my house on Christmas Day I'm just pizza parlors Now do you like now that you've got all this music at your fingertips. I was talking about this with my son and he couldn't believe that you have to go out and buy C.D.'s and 100 pounds because he's going after this generation Y. You just isn't thinking is that in the way you think that's cool I think it takes away some of the romance of it if you think about the Christmas picture yourself a Christmas the age of 14 and you cut to Woolworths and or your local record shop and you know you want to buy the Pet Shop Boys or whatever it is you're into the Pogues order or you know back to the it would have been other things obviously I think that without having a physical thing to hold on to look at the cover. Particularly Christmas records they have to be now you know a picture of a chunky jumper and a bit of tinsel and a Christmas cracker you know. Christmas. Something is lost by looking at they say these things you know online it's brilliant to have all this stuff to to hand you know how would you find the Pilgrim Travelers from 950 to some obscure band that doesn't mean that much over here I wouldn't so. How would you find it if you were saying these things out online so I kind of see both sides of it I think but being out of find everything pretty much at your fingertips is a fantastic thing for music and for someone like me I'm constantly looking into you know my life is music so I'm constantly searching stuff and just looking things up for my own interest it would be about hope if I did this for a living so I think it's just so cool that you can do that but I do think it kind of dissipates the impact of the me see if you can hold the record and with ice tonight all the words to everything and I knew the track listing as well and I think that is an out that has been loath for this isn't late to give moaning front this I don't know your name my name you see that you can call me sees it. Yes hello Jonathan morning Francis Yes I'm there I could I would go for is the original version Band-Aid do they know as Chris is 184 Why do you like it particularly for I'm I'm OK This version to the out of it because there was the 19092000 I didn't like the 2004 the ocean that much from coast and a Band-Aid 22000 for I didn't like that one at home told play on. I think I think it starts with Chris Martin from the 2001 Yes yes for sure I didn't like that when I did the 1000 the original version I think the original question and I think if they could have sworn. Gets every Yeah this. Is still a step and starts against him. You . Come. To. Have you. Say. That this is this is bad and then I remember do you like this is a favorite. To get very powerful at the time but I was talking to a friend a. Couple of days. And she was sort of pulling apart the lyrics as if it was meant to be some kind of political type A you know she was. Instead of you and I said this just to so you know he just did it. Which is what I did you know I think it's a very powerful powerful message. But I did like the song. Yeah it is actually it does stand the test of time is a. Good start easy what we have to blame for this charity singles which. Is the charity video and. Even an enormous headphones and they have to hold their head for some reason and you have to if you're a singer you have to look they were holding hands you could see it's a pretty where you were in the studio now I'm going to see the you holding your head. Just because I have a. Naturally I would just you know I have issues. With. Do you have a favorite line in this mine is. Very hopeful. Isn't it To think that there is not that was the line that was being criticized for and I do think it's it's a perfect you know. But at the production. Francis a favorite line and favorite person thing. To be. Talking in this one I wish I didn't like it when I said we should we reinvent history at this point there are now whether this is going to be at the C.N.N. You know I mean I think he should have staffing they should have left the region I think it was. In the original It's probably my favorite question. I think the words if you think about my favorite line is probably in a world of plenty with and spread a smile of joy smile passed your arms around the world. Really what we're doing tonight we're to do tonight we're always fretting joy with your Christmas songs you can get in touch what is the song that means Christmas for you give us a call 085-996-9693 about the 600008085909693.

B.C. Radio 5 Live available on the B.B.C. Sounds all night on 25 to 3 Good morning this is a full night of B.B.C. Radio 5 Live and 8 E.'s The festive books with Macy's and Cooney And of course Jonathan Woodgate we've given doctrine an eye off because quite frankly doesn't have enough of them and I think he deserves it so it goes like this it is the 23rd it will be Christmas in less than 48 hours I want to know the detuned that make it feel like Christmas for you if they're particularly nice I think we like that even moved a meter with and yeah you know I worry about that because there's a lot of rubbish out there. It's like I was looking into this before the show and there's tons of amazing Christmas music which is not the stuff you hear when you walk into the supermarket and I love all that stuff but there's tons of uppish you know a punk Christmas so they start compilations and heavy metal Christmas some reggae Christmas and you can cherry pick great things but I think record companies really tried to cash it once they realize people bought a lot of these records. You know. From their favorite bands it didn't mean they were great Christmas choose So there's a lot of. But a lot of great stuff as well there's a lot of stuff that just goes on to the right you know the. Last Christmas which I love by the way you think of the defense corral the Christmas Time album is just stunning and then there's blues for a cool it's you know people are Sonny Boy Williamson did take Christmas right songs and he was a bit grumpy a Christmas as you can imagine not all blues guy moaning about his girl leaving him at Christmas but there's just tons of stuff. There's tons of great Motown stuff just a lot of things that went under the right because you know and it's cult surely things are very reductive these days maybe they ways have been and so people tend to play the same songs and everyone talks about the I mean the same 20 records and there's probably been 20000 Christmas records of come out in the last 50 years but people seem to always focus on the same things and if you like one of the 20 most popular ones we don't even mind does get into the say. 599693 get you so late Kath and Mikey Oh yeah taking the phone calls tonight or you can text a 50580 you can tweet at B.B.C. 5 Live you can e-mail us as well if you like over ways up all night at B.B.C. U.K. Glenn is in Wakefield Good morning Glenn Good morning Susan and can I say jealous and before I go any further you calling is being unnecessarily modest because I want to kill a series of. U.S. Fantastic Well Blair nuts only Nike has asked me particularly in office and I'm calling it OK but my kids particularly asked me to mention that I have the top part of seating. Every Christmas and it's already out every Christmas play while I'm cooking Christmas dinner well that is a privilege that. First let's say Oh I love your songs the one that really gets me on there is Michelle McManus to go holy No I mean we you know you obviously remember she had that incredible range and when she hears that I know some songs honestly get Michigan. And. I love you so. I'm just a piece of advice. I mean all of us album as well of course it was. You know quite a few people on the album went on to other things but not so much that calling about tonight Yes A is probably the least likely person ever to do a Christmas on Bob Dylan they must be some. Christmas cracker we're going to play in just a 2nd but tell me why you like. Simply mean well I'm a massive massive Bob Dylan and yet when I play this some people who Bob Dylan but can't believe the same there is a story behind in 2008 I think it was he did a charity album of Christian the song. And the proceeds went to see the homeless of New York this is the only one that he actually wrote on 8. Listens of a song you'll never guess he's bob dylan if you watch the video it's absolutely hilarious bring us. Totally to Ace totally dead tired he looks the most miserable person ever to sing a Christmas song so when you look at other 2 in combination of many states cheek and very very cold he had cheesy there's something very strange about a nice Jewish love singing in a Christmas song of course but surely and what I say that he said that didn't sell quoting Paul. But he used Ace I just love the song they so terribly so cheesy everything that a Christmas song shouldn't shouldn't work should never be played but it's absolutely fantastic. Think it's going to keep. The spine down no Could you show. That you have made my night what do you reckon that's sounds like Bob Dylan in a career of some. Strange decisions that sounds like Bob Dylan doing the Pug's doing. So and I say lace I never though I would say. This is why we pay the big bucks to live there yeah. It's not my favorite so I have to say I would go to something else if it's new blood would give the way they do that now it's really not you you've got to give him props for having a go big Has it made you smile it's made me Is this my. Bob Dylan is a funny kind of guy he's a serious artist but it's great that he can poke fun at himself and be a Christmas great yeah which is why he is in the video as I recall absolutely brilliant then thank you so much for sharing your shows with have a lovely Christmas you know as soon as I needed to and I'm looking forward to Christmas Morning News I'm on now they're ready to play. Like that so I didn't need to to it was a lot of fun it was a lot of fun recording I have to say I did you better than you giving yourself credit for your mud police say Great to see you every week but you cost a fortune in the fact that way for every. Little lovely so glad Merry Christmas right we've got a lot of songs to rattle 3 on the tax a 5 by 5 if you don't have to come in on the writing but you had to hear you so would rather hear from you that like glad. 599693 high seas and I find Gwen Stefani Blake Shelton you make it feel like Christmas is my top Christmas so such a cheerful and uplifting song and full of merry Christmas right I've not had this you know I had this to with and now let's take a listen. Give it the benefit that. Thanks . Brooke. I reckon not so now if you could. Choose how voice does sound good do you. Think she's channeling Dolly in the yeah but she does have the thing. Posted on the Christmas I think she. Says they. Should. Just all of the time it's Christmas Day If you don't think so but I think this sounds like a kind of. Souped up Phil Spector ish kind of thing that beginning is very. Very lost for lawyers. So with that a lot ever much I can put you know names on the attack because we want to say thank you for introducing that into our lives and we can sit down and he will if you texting at 5 o 5 please put your name on so we can see a merry cross across this merry christmas Good morning Suzanne and Jonathan I love well this one. 2 is a classic is a. Very good film. This is. Just the soundtrack to cool returning to pay when it's. On a crisp. Oh I can't wait to see those faces. Trying to respond. So. Try Chris. It's it's just it's Christmas isn't it this is Christmas it makes it makes traffic jams bearable if. The travellers all be home for Christmas just just I think Christmas songs they don't even have to mention Christmas and they don't have to have a jingle bell but they have to have. A certain something. To say Chua suggests Christmas. Of course you find out when you talk to these musicians I don't know about this one but you find out how for these Christmas also recorded in the high Ossama Yes I believe I gave His was a. Composition of the most famous Merry Christmas everybody by Slade that was recorded in the heat wave in New York. Now when you say because he wants this one he says I love driving home for Christmas by Chrystia reminds me of when I used to work away from home and was always driving high on or just before Christmas all the best for Merry Christmas and a happy peaceful prosperous and above all a healthy New Year from that thank you that was lovely and I do love a little bit of now from the sublime. Well this oh no not that one hang on to give me the. Well let's see what we can have. This is good but. I forgot this is a Christmas so. That. You know it is still open is this Christmas be a delay is a Mustang Yeah. OK it's a lie wrapping and I like Run D.M.C. This is not that finest hour. But a lot of people have mentioned this to me of the last few days so maybe people are still. Looking away to Run D.M.C. Sounds more like the Beastie Boys that Run D.M.C. I think it sounds like the B.B.C. Boy is a classic case of. Cashing in and well it's not because it was done for a charity record and I think they took something about as far as I remember there was some story that the record company tried to get them to do a Christmas song and they would just know we arrived at this way to do that nonsense and I got this why I did and I came out with this but you know they turn into the. But I guess that the hip hop hip hop style it just doesn't sound that good and the show is about things that sound good but Run D.M.C. a Fantastic as well I mean what a great band it's just not left finest hour and just in case they're listening now this was the one that I was meaning to be playing now this is I think is a play in Edinburgh and he likes this so. This is it's cliched to be cynical at Christmas by half. Biscuit. I have to say I've never heard this man or a bit of half a dozen but I didn't notice one. But . I. Still. Hate at him.
