Kai says he wants turkey for Xmas. I'll show him the songs on this fine list.

The Xmas Shoes by NewSong is probably the sentimental C & W song I was looking for last week. Have a bucket ready if you are going to listen to it.
But when it comes to the bottom of Xmas barrels being scraped or indeed pinched I must reserve a special word of praise for Transylvanian twins the Cheeky Girls. You'll remember them of course for their fabulous smash hit Cheeky Song (Touch my bum).This Yuletide video however gives whole new nuances to the word naff.

Naff. Now there is a uniquely British concept that it is quite impossible to translate into Swedish. Naff as in car-boot sales, Page 3 girls and Jimmy Saville.
Clearly in Romania it is a concept that they understand well and have taken to their Transylvanian hearts.
Dracula would be proud.
