Christmas Song Advent Calendar 2018: Day 19

~ Alex the Pensmith

  • ARTIST: Robbie Williams
  • SONG: Walk This Sleigh

    When you consider the source of today’s song – the B-side to his career defining ‘Angels’ in 1997 – one would naturally think that ‘Walk This Sleigh’ would be the Robster’s festive rewriting of Run DMC / Aerosmith’s seminal duet ‘Walk This Way’.

    It instead finds the most Stoke accented rap from the 90s ever, about not being able to find three wise men or a virgin, and the truly genius rhyming couplet of ‘Happy birthday Jesus Christ / Here’s some Spice Girls merchandise’. Inspired if bonkers.
