Christmas Songs from the Southern Hemisphere

[Zardnaar]

I've never listened to anything by KBW. I was thinking more along the lines of how you can hear swearing (except the F word) on live TV here, and malls and shops play the original versions of songs with swears, not the radio friendly edits, and so on.

Heh youre new here.

 

[pukunui]

Heh youre new here.

If you can still count 20+ years as "new".

Small town NZ. If you were there 20 years you were treated as a local almost.

Assuming you came from another small town.

1980s, American via Auckland you would have been screwed.

One of my 2E players was a kiwi via Auckland in the South Island. Poor bastard. That was the 90s. Things got marginally more liberal in 1999.

You can't have a thread about Southern Christmas songs without it.

I've got no songs to add, sorry.

But I consider KBW's "Santa Claus You <>, Where's my <> Bike?" to be a Christmas classic. It's not Christmas until I've that and Fairy Tale of New York.

Its a classic iho.

A more restrained Australian folk sing by KBW.


Very restrained by his standards. I've done that dance more than once.

Wonder if Santa will forget my pram? I've got kids now of my own. I heard them unwrap their presents last night when I got home...

Yobbos and Barbarians.

Same, definitely these 2.

 

[Zardnaar]

Best Christmas movie.

Die Hard.

Best song.
Hey Santa Claus KBW

 

[SableWyvern]

This is the first thing that came to mind for me. Not sure if it still gets much use today (it just occurred to me, it's a Rolf Harris song, which means many people would probably rather let it fade into obscurity).



This one isn't as well known, but I recall it from my primary school days.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I had an Aussie teacher when I was ten, who taught me "Six white boomers, snow white boomers, pulling Santa's sleigh through the blazing sun! Six white boomers, snow white boomers - on his Australian run."

That's all I remember. It was 1984, after all.
