Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,282 Posted December 22, 2018 I'd like to teach the world to sing - new seekers (after Coke advert)? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted December 22, 2018 It was written for the advert, a bank I believe, and only the first verse maybe. Artiste added the other verses I think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,599 Posted December 22, 2018 A TV-inspired Christmas song, from the 60s, sung by a British band who had the same name as a more famous (and later) US band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crikey, I've been through the Outlaws, the Highwaymen, the Shadows (sometime known as the Drifters) and even the Knack, and can't find anything remotely Christmassy. Maybe I should concentrate more on Christmas, than the band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing to do with Ron Grainer, but definitely Doctor Who related. ( not the Eagles btw) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,137 Posted December 24, 2018 Yes, I have no recollection of it either. I thought I vaguely remembered something called 'All I Want For Christmas Is A Dalek' but I must have confused it with something else. Anyway Connect T. Rex to David Gray in six-degrees-of-separation style. Two songs should crop up along the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't mind if that was what Dr Who theme was technically called, and couldn't figure out a Xmas connection. But, they were big enough for Salvador Dali to throw paint over them Live on French telly performing it. Might have been at Xmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
