darkandrew Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I once saw the Sisters of Mercy around Christmas time and they changed the words of This Corrosion from "Sing this corrosion to me" to "Sing merry Christmas to me" and that version of the song has stuck with me ever since! One day I'd love to do that as a cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1507282046' post='3384428'] The bassist on that was one of Marcus Miller's students, forget (her?) name now, but it's a great bassline.

Cato Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Christmas Wrapping is quite a cheesey song in my opinion, saved by having one of the all time greatest ever basslines, in any genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) Just out of interest, have any decent Christmas songs been written in the last 20yrs? This song by the lovely Thea Gilmore would get my vote...http://youtu.be/7qQAE794uvo I do like Aimee Mann’s weird Indie meets Hawaiian meets Native American meets cabaret approach to the classics on her One More Drifter in the Snow album...http://youtu.be/kyBOS4t4AHAhttp://youtu.be/WjRXupOsE7A Edited November 12, 2017 by TrevorR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
