Keeping the Dream Alive - Freiheit

Home for the holidays - Tim Wheeler and Emmy the Great

2000 miles by The Pretenders should be on there too as well as Peace on Earth by Bing Crosby and David Bowie but as we’re voting for songs and not artists I won’t pick it

Give other people a chance to nominate before going for extra nominations.

We exceeded my 25 song aim pretty quickly!

I'll keep this open until tomorrow night though to give other people a chance.

I know you said give other people a chance but I only put one choice in my initial post, so I'll chance my arm at a second.

I'll nominate You're A Mean One, Mr Grinch. I'm not sure which is considered to be the definitive version of this song, so I'm going for the one I like the most, the Electric Six cover.

Yep, you're allowed 2 nominations so this is fine.

I almost picked that myself, it's a great 'anti' Christmas song.

Better than the original imo.

I'm adding the artists just to make it clear which song is which. But the eliminator is based on the song, not the artist, and so all versions of the songs count.

Was just saying, doesn't have any bearing on the nomination.

I know, it was just a reminder not a criticism of your post.

I do think we should be allowed Killing in the Name and Mad World, as they're included in Christmas compilations and on TV shows now, but if we can't have them I'll take Blue Christmas by the Pretenders and I Won't Be Home for Christmas by Blink 182.
