Christmas Song Advent Calendar 2018: Day 22

~ Alex the Pensmith

  • ARTIST: Bananarama
  • SONG: Baby It’s Christmas

    We cheat slightly with the artist picture on today’s song. Chiefly because this is a number from the Sara Dallin/Keren Woodward duo wilderness years of the 90s and 00s of the 80s most successful all female group, when they hadn’t yet reunited with Siobhan Fahey. 

    But it doesn’t take away what an absolute banger this is, a four to the floor disco number about missing an old flame in the festive season, with the ‘Nanas ever ice cool vocals gliding across it like the Queen of Narnia on an ice rink. Yuletide disco pop magic.
