You are familiar with a recording artist named Andy Williams, right? You know he existed and was the voice of Christmas for most of the 1960s and 70s.

I don't have. This is why generational conflict exists at all. But I also had stuff in there. I tried to put in things that were not people that didn't think of, you know, as cheery Christmas stuff like Circle of Steel by Gordon Lightfoot, which is a wonderful song. Yes, I included Do They Know It's Christmas? Because actually.

I kind of like that song in part because Sir Bob hated it after he wrote it. And I've always enjoyed... I'm Greek Orthodox. And one of the things that always makes me laugh about that song is he wrote it about Ethiopia and the famine in Ethiopia. Apparently, Sir Bob didn't realize the major religion in Ethiopia is Orthodox Christianity. So yes, in fact, they did know it was Christmas. Yeah.

you know, but I have this cool 12 inch and you and I fooled around with it in the green room. I have this cool 12 inch that I bought, which again, why do, why do I like it? Because I have fond memories of buying this in a Boston record store. And the other side is this long outro where they finally finish. And then Bob Geldof says it's now like, you know, 6am on November 25th, 1984.

And everybody on the record comes in to say, Merry Christmas. You know, hi, I'm Sarah from Banana Rama. Happy Christmas. Um, The guys from big country, they're all Scottish. One of them says, we're here to wish you Merry Christmas. Feed the people. Stay alive. It's just this great 80s kind of time.

And then, of course, at the end of it all, Paul McCartney calls in because, of course, he wouldn't be on the record. But David Bowie shows up in this very quiet recording. And he's like, you know, the scary David Bowie voice about how people are starving. It's just this great kind of 80s Times capsule. So give me my nostalgic moments.

But other than that, there's stuff on there that I will absolutely defend, including if you don't like the Waitress's Christmas rapping. Oh, a great song.
