Merry Christmas Baby


I'd forgotten all about iTunes Protected AAC Files (R.I.P.) until I realised ye olde download I have of this is one.

So here's a Soundcloud thingy instead - of 'Take 1' as you can see, a slightly different version to the one we all know and love (which is 'Take' what, I wonder?).



I'd offer you an egg nog if I knew what one was.

    I'm particularly admiring the skill of the artist in rendering Otis' festive hat.

    This is getting a bit concerning,, because I was going to post this song in a few days time.

    Eggnog, or egg nog, is a sweetened dairy-based beverage traditionally made with milk and/or cream, sugar, and whipped eggs (which gives it a frothy texture). Brandy, rum, whisky, bourbon, vodka, or a combination of liquors are often added.


    Sounds completely disgusting

    Lots of beer for me tonight - and a curry. Another tradition.

    No, that's exactly what I wanted to do and what doesn't work with those fellas.

    Thank you for the very informative insights into 'egg nog'.

    I think I may pass.

    Although....'eggnog spilled down my cardigan' may yet prove to be one of the great unwritten Sundays lyrics of all time.

    Egg Nog no show. I'll have a rum and ginger as a prelude to an evening down the rugby club at a fiftieth. 50!

    Am late. But am here.
    Mad Friday. Absolutely livid.
    I'd love to share a bottle of eggnog with ally. I'd even hold her hair behind her head whilst she threw up.
    Am a bit sozzled to be honest.
    But I do love you Gloria. You DO know that ... don't you?

    Hi Davy,

    Don't let the "protected" songs get the better of you. Just transfer them to a playlist and burn them to a CD - then upload them to your iTunes library again. Voila - they've been freed!

    Thanks Marie; yes, I've done that with the blighters in the past. It was just beyond me at cocktail hour, I'm afraid.
