Transcript

00:00 What's your favourite Christmas song?

00:07 All I want is you and the Jingle Bell Rock.

00:12 So the Mariah Carey song?

00:13 Yes, and the Mean Girls one. I like the Mean Girls one, yeah, for the Jingle Bell Rock.

00:18 Had you heard it before, Mean Girls?

00:20 I did, but I think it struck in my mind more when I saw that movie.

00:26 Have you heard either of the songs yet?

00:28 Yes, yes, so many times now.

00:31 So you're not sick of it?

00:32 No, not really, I love Christmas.

00:35 Or you want to sing along?

00:37 I'm sorry, my singing is really bad. I don't want anyone to hurt their ears or something.

00:44 Well, why do you like both of those songs?

00:46 I mean, it just captures the vibe of a girl in Christmas, just having fun and everything.

00:53 So it's nice and the voices are amazing, especially Mariah's voice, amazing.

00:58 Are there any songs that you don't like?

01:01 No, not really. I mean, if you, the classical Christmas songs, maybe those ones, yeah, that's kind of old.

01:09 You prefer the pop ones?

01:10 The pop ones, yeah.

01:12 What's your favourite Christmas song?

01:14 It's Called Outside by Michael Bublé.

01:16 Why the Michael Bublé version?

01:18 It always reminds me of Christmas.

01:20 And why that song?

01:21 I just like how he sings it.

01:23 Have you heard it yet this year?

01:25 Yes, in nearly every single shop I go into.

01:28 You're not sick of it yet?

01:29 Not just yet, no.

01:30 Can you sing it very well?

01:31 No, I can't sing at all.

01:33 No Christmas karaoke's?

01:34 No, I'm afraid not.

01:35 Do you have any other favourites?

01:37 I like Mariah Carey, but I couldn't name a song just in general.

01:40 What about one that's annoying?

01:45 Any song really, just a song where it's repeated too much.

01:49 What's your favourite Christmas song?

01:51 It is by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day, something like that.

01:58 Because I was heavily influenced by the Beatles when I was a young boy, right,

02:03 because I come back from Florida and I got immersed in the sound of pop,

02:10 because radio played a big important part of my life.

02:14 Have you heard it yet this year?

02:16 No, I've heard one or two, right.

02:20 It would be Bing Crosby and David Bowie singing White Christmas, I'm thinking of a white Christmas.

02:25 Or Roy Wood, he did a Christmas song from Birmingham.

02:30 It is I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day, and every day there's something to look forward to,

02:35 but it's giving, not receiving.

02:37 It's the gift, not actually receiving it much, you know.

02:42 If we go back to Christmas songs, do you have a least favourite, one that annoys you?

02:47 Least favourite Christmas song?

02:51 Maybe I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas, because the antithesis of I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

02:57 is I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas.
