Father Christmas, give us some money / Don’t mess around with those silly toys / We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over / We want your bread so don’t make us annoyed / Give all the toys / to the little rich boys— The Kinks, “Father Christmas” (the most rockin’est Christmas song ever)
And the boys from the NYPD choir / were singing Galway Bay / And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day…— The Pogues, “Fairytale of New York”
