Smith from The Fall has recorded a load of apparently unironical like Christmas carols. 27:54.236 --> 27:57.277 He just sort of sings Christmas carols in his wonky way. 27:57.297 --> 28:00.619 I'm going to be playing a song by The Fall a bit later on in the show. 28:01.019 --> 28:02.860 Mine is more jokey. 28:02.900 --> 28:04.781 It's called Christmas with Simon, but that's not for a bit. 28:05.322 --> 28:12.766 But talking of jokey music, it's time to revisit one of our song wars entries from last Christmas where we both recorded Christmas-related 28:13.806 --> 28:14.266 Songs. 28:14.967 --> 28:16.607 And this is my one. 28:17.107 --> 28:18.548 This is a special Christmas song. 28:18.628 --> 28:20.109 Now you won with this one, didn't you? 28:20.129 --> 28:21.329 Yeah, I wiped the floor. 28:21.369 --> 28:22.350 But yours is very good. 28:22.450 --> 28:22.710 Thanks. 28:23.370 --> 28:26.091 It is, you know, often the ones that win aren't the best ones. 28:26.171 --> 28:26.792 Well, that's the way. 28:26.812 --> 28:30.113 As we know from all great listener-based competitions. 28:30.313 --> 28:30.973 The way it is in life. 28:30.993 --> 28:35.435 You know, Gareth Gates might win, but Will Young's the overall winner. 28:35.455 --> 28:36.096 Do you know what I mean? 28:36.316 --> 28:36.856 I think I do. 28:36.896 --> 28:37.796 Listen to my champagne. 28:38.056 --> 28:38.937 If I believe. 28:39.297 --> 28:41.478 Anyway, here's Christmas shopping at the all-night garage. 28:43.331 --> 28:43.651 What? 28:43.971 --> 28:44.732 Oh no! 28:45.072 --> 28:48.034 It's nine o'clock on Christmas Eve and I ain't got no presents yet. 28:48.074 --> 28:48.894 What am I gonna do? 28:48.994 --> 28:51.356 I'll have to go down to the all night garage. 28:51.536 --> 28:55.598 All night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage. 28:55.618 --> 28:59.421 All night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage. 28:59.541 --> 29:03.543 All night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage. 29:03.563 --> 29:07.326 All night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage. 29:07.386 --> 29:08.166 Hello there, mate. 29:08.386 --> 29:09.107 How are you doing? 29:09.147 --> 29:11.128 I've got to buy some stuff and my Christmas will be real. 29:15.583 --> 29:22.150 DVD abyss of fuel. 29:22.190 --> 29:31.239 That'll have to do, I'm not quite sure if my army Doris appreciates the oeuvre of Chuck Norris but I've left it late and it's beginning to rain and on Christmas Day she can't complain. 29:31.259 --> 29:37.425 All night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage, all night garage, all night garage, 30:03.732 --> 30:11.417 night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage, all night garage, all night garage, Christmas shopping at the all night garage. 30:11.437 --> 30:18.641 Listen mate, I've got to go, come here for everything, I'm on my stroke. 30:19.382 --> 30:25.125 At times like this I can't help but feel I wish Santa Claus was really real, I asked myself what would Jesus do? 30:25.165 --> 30:28.347 Perhaps he'd give his dad an old bottle of booze from the cupboard, forget 30:36.724 --> 30:38.085 Joe, what's this you got me? 30:38.105 --> 30:39.406 Delta Force 2 and a cigarette lighter. 30:39.546 --> 30:41.147 Oh, thank you, you shouldn't have. 30:51.738 --> 30:57.581 There we go, some amateur music there, composed and performed by me, Joe Cornish, for our song wars. 30:58.661 --> 31:01.143 And, you know, be nice to it, because it's Christmas. 31:01.583 --> 31:02.023 Exactly. 31:02.123 --> 31:10.027 You have to enjoy, you know, be benevolent towards little lame songs like that, that come hobbling up to your door, asking... 31:10.627 --> 31:12.049 for maybe an old chicken wing. 31:12.269 --> 31:12.970 That's even better. 31:12.990 --> 31:15.313 That's the better of the two that we're going to be playing. 31:15.333 --> 31:23.482 Later on, I'm going to be playing my Christmas song, which, compared to that tiny Tim of an offering, is an absolute turkey. 31:23.922 --> 31:24.663 Oh, I disagree. 31:25.504 --> 31:29.086 I think yours is very good in its own special way. 31:29.106 --> 31:30.747 Special, special being the operative word. 31:32.128 --> 31:34.569 Now, I want to talk to you, Joe, about Christmas lights. 31:35.209 --> 31:40.652 I mean, it's the kind of thing that...

Dan, I was thinking about... He's imagining his only bending thing. 34:29.352 --> 34:29.952 Just bending. 34:32.372 --> 34:33.013 Where are we? 34:33.033 --> 34:33.513 The lasers. 34:33.553 --> 34:34.753 Why'd they move away from the lasers? 34:34.793 --> 34:42.635 Anyway, they were very disappointing because it was just one green line, or maybe two at the most, going in a straight line from one end of Oxford Street together. 34:42.655 --> 34:43.915 I wasn't disappointed with that. 34:44.555 --> 34:44.975 I was. 34:44.995 --> 34:45.816 I was thrilled. 34:46.156 --> 34:47.256 I thought it was very bad. 34:47.276 --> 34:48.116 A laser! 34:48.156 --> 34:49.517 Look, Daddy, a laser! 34:49.797 --> 34:51.157 Like Luke Skywalker. 34:51.437 --> 34:58.379 Yes, but his ended a few feet above the handle of his lightsaber. 34:58.959 --> 35:02.040 This one just went on and on and on. 35:02.080 --> 35:03.301 I think they should bring the lasers back. 35:03.601 --> 35:06.082 Here's my idea of what they could have next year, right? 35:06.642 --> 35:08.562 Instead of the cobwebs, how about this? 35:09.003 --> 35:12.764 Just what appear to be huge great strands of drool. 35:14.605 --> 35:15.366 Christmas drool. 35:15.426 --> 35:16.166 Christmas drool. 35:16.206 --> 35:18.989 As if it was coming out of the corner of Grandpa's mouth. 35:19.669 --> 35:20.069 Right. 35:20.190 --> 35:21.991 He's had too much to eat, fallen asleep. 35:22.191 --> 35:26.575 Or as if a colossal chav had just flobbed on Oxford Street. 35:26.635 --> 35:26.875 Right. 35:27.636 --> 35:35.522 You know, and instead of the glistening dew there, you've got glistening gob and they've got little white lights or whatever. 35:36.143 --> 35:41.167 You could even have little yellow lights if you had a kind of vomit motif. 35:41.667 --> 35:44.730 Well that's revolting and that wouldn't be suitable for children. 35:44.970 --> 35:48.033 Ah, ah, you say that. 35:48.873 --> 35:49.154 But? 35:49.674 --> 35:51.636 But that's the way the world's going. 35:51.836 --> 35:52.917 Right, I've got a better idea. 35:52.977 --> 35:53.137 What? 35:53.597 --> 35:55.379 You get classic Christmas animals. 35:55.399 --> 35:56.820 What are your classic Christmas animals? 35:57.060 --> 35:58.702 A robin, red breast. 36:00.083 --> 36:01.364 Right, that's a Christmas animal. 36:01.564 --> 36:03.366 Bambi, the Christmas deer. 36:04.266 --> 36:07.147 Not talking about the original Bambi, talking about the Christmas one. 36:07.347 --> 36:08.188 It doesn't exist. 36:08.968 --> 36:10.188 What are the other Christmas animals? 36:10.508 --> 36:11.069 Reindeer. 36:11.289 --> 36:11.749 Rudolph. 36:12.009 --> 36:12.209 Yeah. 36:12.289 --> 36:16.150 But you'd mix them up with some other ones that are confused because of global warming. 36:16.170 --> 36:17.431 Like the island of Dr. Moreau. 36:17.491 --> 36:17.651 Yes. 36:19.261 --> 36:25.403 You'd have a tiger and a lion looking confused and scared. 36:25.563 --> 36:29.004 You'd have the sun, a really bright sun and some suntan lotion. 36:29.244 --> 36:29.645 Do you know what? 36:29.665 --> 36:30.765 You'd mix it up. 36:31.185 --> 36:31.545 Right. 36:31.865 --> 36:34.526 Because seasons don't exist anymore. 36:34.566 --> 36:36.287 No, it doesn't get cold over Christmas. 36:36.627 --> 36:38.087 It's going to be a very mild Christmas, probably. 36:38.108 --> 36:42.269 You could have a giant polar bear, right, on a melting ice cap. 36:43.249 --> 36:48.271 And the tears coming out of his eyes would be like little lights. 36:48.391 --> 36:49.451 Sponsored by ESO? 36:49.551 --> 36:50.731 So it's pretty exactly. 36:50.791 --> 36:51.652 Sponsored by ESO. 36:52.292 --> 36:53.712 And because they're aware of it. 36:53.852 --> 36:55.373 You know, they don't have to be doing anything about it. 36:55.393 --> 36:56.153 No, they're doing something. 36:56.193 --> 36:59.294 It's only a very small thing, but they're shouting very loud about the small thing. 36:59.314 --> 37:00.934 They're well aware of the problem. 37:01.134 --> 37:03.975 That's the main thing, is to be aware of it. 37:04.255 --> 37:05.436 That's a terrific idea. 37:05.476 --> 37:06.376 They'd be lovely lights. 37:06.596 --> 37:08.018 It's better than doing something about it. 37:08.338 --> 37:09.519 Easter eggs as well, why not? 37:09.940 --> 37:10.540 That's a good idea. 37:10.560 --> 37:12.363 Get people thinking about Easter nice and early. 37:13.123 --> 37:15.566 Just mix them all up, mix in the toasties. 37:15.586 --> 37:16.467 Nice. 37:16.527 --> 37:17.669 Have them up there all, yeah. 37:17.689 --> 37:18.069 Cheers. 37:18.089 --> 37:18.409 Cheers. 37:21.913 --> 37:23.814 Here's a free play for you listeners. 37:24.355 --> 37:32.820 Now, I don't know if you caught a documentary on BBC Four this year about E from the Eels, the lead singer of the Eels. 37:33.260 --> 37:37.883 He was on a mission to find out about his father who died when he was very young. 37:38.323 --> 37:46.308 And his father was a genius physicist who came up with the theory of parallel universes, right? 37:46.788 --> 37:51.151 It was a whole experimental branch of quantum mechanics and quantum physics. 37:51.691 --> 37:52.913 that this guy was a genius in. 37:52.973 --> 37:53.994 It's a wonderful documentary. 37:54.054 --> 37:57.739 Parallel lives, parallel worlds, I think it's called, or the other way around maybe. 37:58.280 --> 38:05.569 Anyway, this is a track by the Eels, and it's very wistful and touching about his father, his late father, and I hope you enjoy it. 38:05.889 --> 38:06.930 I think it's Christmasy. 38:07.031 --> 38:08.573 It's things the grandchildren should know. 38:09.133 --> 38:10.655 That was the specials with Rap Race. 38:10.675 --> 38:12.837 This is Adam and Jo on BBC Six Music. 38:13.717 --> 38:19.903 Coming to you from our little shack outside the walls of the big British castle where we've got a lovely crackly fire going. 38:20.023 --> 38:22.245 Yeah, that's not just static you're hearing in the background. 38:22.285 --> 38:26.389 That's actual fire being played from an actual CD. 38:28.851 --> 38:35.375 It's hard to create any kind of sort of imaginary world when you're not allowed to lie on the BBC. 38:35.415 --> 38:36.436 Yeah, it's true, isn't it?

Do you think that these days, you know, these bands burn so brightly? 52:58.351 --> 53:00.752 Do you think it's impossible for them to kind of sustain? 53:01.192 --> 53:01.513 Certainly. 53:01.533 --> 53:04.414 I mean, the best days of the strokes are probably long gone. 53:04.474 --> 53:05.795 How long did their time last? 53:06.015 --> 53:06.576 A couple of years? 53:07.056 --> 53:14.062 I mean, the first two albums were good, but even by the second album, people were saying, oh, dear, this is not a patch on, this is it, and then the... is this it, rather? 53:14.102 --> 53:17.105 And then the third one wasn't really not very good. 53:17.185 --> 53:20.789 And do you think Vampire Weekend will transcend that kind of petty...? 53:20.889 --> 53:21.609 Hard to say. 53:21.689 --> 53:22.290 Hard to say. 53:22.310 --> 53:22.750 Hard to say. 53:22.770 --> 53:27.074 They could go... there's a couple of good things about the album, if they pursued, would be wonderful. 53:27.295 --> 53:29.897 There's a couple of not-so-good things if they went down that road. 53:29.937 --> 53:31.699 Do you think it's anything to do with the name? 53:32.419 --> 53:37.665 Do you think you can tell how much longevity a band has by how clever and different their name is? 53:38.105 --> 53:38.225 Yeah. 53:38.245 --> 53:38.546 Okay. 53:38.826 --> 53:39.507 It's a theory. 53:39.527 --> 53:40.187 It's an interesting one. 53:40.247 --> 53:44.292 The Strokes came at a time when every band was called The Something, right? 53:44.572 --> 53:44.792 Yeah. 53:44.952 --> 53:46.654 It was a name that there were lots of other bands. 53:46.674 --> 53:48.135 For instance, yeah. 53:48.216 --> 53:48.796 The Vines. 53:48.876 --> 53:49.197 Yeah. 53:50.118 --> 53:50.758 The Beatles. 53:51.179 --> 53:51.899 The Rolling Stones. 53:51.919 --> 53:52.560 The Pogues. 53:53.341 --> 53:53.561 Yeah. 53:55.022 --> 53:57.563 Whereas Vampire Weekend, it's a peculiar name. 53:57.583 --> 53:58.763 Those are the three big bands. 53:59.483 --> 54:01.824 The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Vines. 54:04.764 --> 54:06.025 Yes, no, I think you're right. 54:06.365 --> 54:08.865 Vampire Weekend is a bit eccentric, I know what you mean. 54:09.286 --> 54:12.586 But there again, Arctic Monkeys, that's a stupid name for a band. 54:12.786 --> 54:14.047 And they've got the staying power. 54:14.087 --> 54:15.927 And they have absolutely got the staying power. 54:16.147 --> 54:16.787 Oh, certainly. 54:17.047 --> 54:19.068 Oh, absolutely they do. 54:19.628 --> 54:20.909 Can I have some more champagne?

01:04:44.551 --> 01:04:50.716 Which he's rounding off the laughs at the pass by taking it straight to the issue of bereavement. 01:04:50.836 --> 01:04:51.717 It's wonderful stuff. 01:04:51.757 --> 01:04:54.399 There are many other mediums available, of course. 01:04:54.980 --> 01:04:56.481 But Joe, man, thanks so much. 01:04:56.561 --> 01:04:56.962 That's all right. 01:04:56.982 --> 01:04:58.042 Will you listen to that, do you think?
