eric3579*quality
siftbotBoosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by eric3579.
StormsingerDefinitely, and without question, this is the best song I've heard from Minchin. Sentimental, but with just a touch of his quirky humor...this is what Christmas songs should be.
imstellar28says..."...but the lyrics are dodgy"
muahahaha
kymbosBeautiful. But why is this British? Tim is from *downunder.
I won't try to notbritish it in case it's the venue or something.
siftbotAdding video to channels (Downunder) - requested by kymbos.
GrimmThat was my bad...I glimpsed at his bio real quick and saw "British born".>> ^kymbos:

MaxWilderI liked it, but it really sounded like he was making it up as he went. Very talented, no doubt, but it was a bit too rambling for something that had been composed.
cybrbeastIndeed in the Sun Downunder, but up here there's only little Sun, however there is a chance of a white Christmas
Hive13Amazing song. Great post.
crillepsays...Lyrics
Merry Xmas sift.

I love the song, but I thought it was lame to call it an atheist song. A Christmas song for EVERYONE fits it much better

The writer and singer of the song is an atheist and many of his songs deal with religion from an atheist view...so more accurate then lame.
kymbosI don't know, I think he's trying to say Christmas is for everyone whether you're religious or not.
TruckchaseThat jerk made me tear up.
StormsingerHonestly Max, I think that's part of the charm. And it's -definitely- part of the humor. "But the lyrics are dodgy." struck me as making as much fun of his own song as it was of the standard Christmas carols...kind of a pot-meet-kettle line. Not to mention that almost all of his songs sound that way, or at least all of them that stick in my head.
