Pub rock band Oily and the Blanchmange have now played Last Christmas by Wham for the seventh time
Even the jazz-tinged saxophonist Tim Dewberry-Sprocket is getting sick of it.
‘I know it is a classic Christmas song’ bewailed Tim ‘but our singer Sam has now sung it seven times. Seven times in a row. I wish it was a joke, but it isn’t.’
Sam, told us, after singing the song ‘I have an ex, and every time I sing this song, it reminds me of him. If it was a good breakup, and if I missed him, it would make more sense. Sometimes I suppose I like to wallow in self-pity.’
Drummer Norris weighed in ‘When can we play some Iron Maiden? Nothing puts a crowd in the Christmas spirit like a loudly played Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter does it?’
