All correct (although my version of #14 is by Kylie).

Both right.

13 is Fairytale of New York - It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank...

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed (although the version on this CD is some horrible Ronan Keating version).

19. "That was The Police with 'Doo doo doo daa daa daa', their gibberish classic..."

You see, where I'm living now, it would be obligatory to add "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" to the ensemble....

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

That's a new one to me!

[segh.livejournal.com]

I do actually like Santa Baby.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Mm, me too.

I usually don't do these quizes, but I can't believe no one's yet guessed 1. Happy Xmas (War is Over) - John Lennon

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Well done!

[beckyc.livejournal.com]

Is 12 Simply having a wonderful Christmas time?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yep.

18 is annoying me, as it sounds like the chorus of "Oh come, all ye faithful" - but I can't think of any carols/ hymns where that's the first line of the verse...

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

You're very nearly right. But it isn't a carol / hymn, it's a pop song based on one.
