00:00 What's your favourite Christmas song?
00:07 All I want is you and the Jingle Bell Rock.
00:12 So the Mariah Carey song?
00:13 Yes, and the Mean Girls one. I like the Mean Girls one, yeah, for the Jingle Bell Rock.
00:18 Had you heard it before, Mean Girls?
00:20 I did, but I think it struck in my mind more when I saw that movie.
00:26 Have you heard either of the songs yet?
00:28 Yes, yes, so many times now.
00:31 So you're not sick of it?
00:32 No, not really, I love Christmas.
00:35 Or you want to sing along?
00:37 I'm sorry, my singing is really bad. I don't want anyone to hurt their ears or something.
00:44 Well, why do you like both of those songs?
00:46 I mean, it just captures the vibe of a girl in Christmas, just having fun and everything.
00:53 So it's nice and the voices are amazing, especially Mariah's voice, amazing.
00:58 Are there any songs that you don't like?
01:01 No, not really. I mean, if you, the classical Christmas songs, maybe those ones, yeah, that's kind of old.
01:09 You prefer the pop ones?
01:10 The pop ones, yeah.
01:12 What's your favourite Christmas song?
01:14 It's Called Outside by Michael Bublé.
01:16 Why the Michael Bublé version?
01:18 It always reminds me of Christmas.
01:20 And why that song?
01:21 I just like how he sings it.
01:23 Have you heard it yet this year?
01:25 Yes, in nearly every single shop I go into.
01:28 You're not sick of it yet?
01:29 Not just yet, no.
01:30 Can you sing it very well?
01:31 No, I can't sing at all.
01:33 No Christmas karaoke's?
01:34 No, I'm afraid not.
01:35 Do you have any other favourites?
01:37 I like Mariah Carey, but I couldn't name a song just in general.
01:40 What about one that's annoying?
01:45 Any song really, just a song where it's repeated too much.
01:49 What's your favourite Christmas song?
01:51 It is by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day, something like that.
01:58 Because I was heavily influenced by the Beatles when I was a young boy, right,
02:03 because I come back from Florida and I got immersed in the sound of pop,
02:10 because radio played a big important part of my life.
02:14 Have you heard it yet this year?
02:16 No, I've heard one or two, right.
02:20 It would be Bing Crosby and David Bowie singing White Christmas, I'm thinking of a white Christmas.
02:25 Or Roy Wood, he did a Christmas song from Birmingham.
02:30 It is I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day, and every day there's something to look forward to,
02:35 but it's giving, not receiving.
02:37 It's the gift, not actually receiving it much, you know.
02:42 If we go back to Christmas songs, do you have a least favourite, one that annoys you?
02:47 Least favourite Christmas song?
02:51 Maybe I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas, because the antithesis of I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
02:57 is I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas.
