Hier ist also der "Christmas Song" von Pink Floyd.

Verschiedene Quellen nennen eine BBC Session 1975 als Ursprung des ganzen, auch 1974 ist im Gespräch.
Wir hören Nick Mason als hervorragenden Sänger dieses lieblichen Weihnachtsliedes. Außerdem sind
Alan Stiles (der Roadie, auch aus "Alan's psychedelic breakfast" bekannt) zu hören und ich meine im
Hintergrund die Stimme von Roger Waters zu erkennen. Den Text, soweit bekannt, habe ich unter das Bild geschrieben.
Viel Spaß und Merry Christmas!

Nick Mason - Here comes Santa  (mp3, 900 KB)

 


Here comes Santa in his sleigh
Those silver bells they sound so gay
His shiny sleigh is heaped with toys
To give to all good girls and boys
With dolls and golliwogs and clock work trains.
Grant's tin solders and little model planes.
Going to fill your stockings so long as you've been good
And I'm sure that you have because you know you should

(dialogue: have I got to sing that? <Alan Stiles>
No you don't sing, you just say it <Nick Mason>)

Cheerful face is wreathed in smiles
Can see him coming for miles and miles
As he passes by he'll catch your ear...WITH
"Merry Christmas guys and a happy new year"


<Alan> (everyone is laughing at him) Announcer comes on
 "Shout that as a cheery Christmas greeting Alan"
then someone says "Yeah, shoud that one out, right?"


Turkey and sausages and Christmas pud

"have another helping John"
OH! I don't think I could (laughing)

Christmas parcels under the tree
None for you and six for ME!
