The song itself is piano-heavy nonsense, but the video is the real seasonal gift here: four mortified-looking Londoners with precision facial hair and gigantic winter jackets making endless \"soulful\" hand gestures, in what looks like the classic Windows 95 \"Starfield\" screensaver. As iconic as it is, my abiding memory of this song will always be of a girl in my middle school music class becoming incoherent with genuinely disbelieving rage when told that no, she could not choose this song as her \"Christmas carol\" for the holiday performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Listen to the author of this article share these weird holiday imports with her podcast co-hosts on \u003c/em>The Cooler\u003cem>:\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238598315&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"A guide to the British Christmas tunes you've never heard.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1450771817,"stats":{"hasAudio":true,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":14,"wordCount":1124},"headData":{"title":"The Weird, Wonderful World of British Christmas Music | KQED","description":"A guide to the British Christmas tunes you've never heard.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"The Weird, Wonderful World of British Christmas Music","datePublished":"2015-12-22T01:39:39.000Z","dateModified":"2015-12-22T08:10:17.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"19133 http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/?p=19133","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/12/21/the-weird-wonderful-world-of-british-christmas-music/","disqusTitle":"The Weird, Wonderful World of British Christmas Music","customPermalink":"i-wish-it-could-be-christmas-every-day","path":"/pop/19133/the-weird-wonderful-world-of-british-christmas-music","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>America and Britain: two countries whose superficial similarities (a common language, shared democratic ideals, a fondness for roasted meats) mask some pretty fundamental differences.
