"Last Christmas

You gave me a jumper

And the very next day

I gave it away

This year

To save me from tears

Give me something better.

Ner ner ner.

Ner ner ner."

Or how about a classic rendition of John Lennon's immortal 1972 hymn to the peace movement...

"And so this is Christmas

And what have we done

We've called for surrender

To Ho Chi Minh's Viet Cong

And a very merry Christmas

And a happy new year

I hope it's a good one

With plenty of cheer

A very merry Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear ones

And of course Mao Tse Tung

War is over

If you want it

War is over 

If you want it

And so this is Christmas

Let's abandon the Vietnamese

What could possibly go wrong

It'll all be a breeze

War is over

If you want it

War is over

If you want it

A very merry Christmas

To Chairman Mao

He's very nice really

Don't have a cow

A very merry Christmas

To Baader Meinhof

The IRA and the Basques

Democracy **** off

War is over

If we surrender

War is over

Let's all surrender

A very merry Christmas

To the Red Brigades in Italy

To Leonid Brezhnev

And all at the KGB

A very merry Christmas

For black and for white

Sovietised slavery

Will be alright

War is over

If we surrender

War is over

If you want it

Hey Yoko

What's a Jihadi

Yoko

Yoko

Hey

Who beheaded Yoko

This is turning into a merry Christmas"

Then there's this emotional tribute to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

"Young man

If you're down on your dough

I said

Young man

There's no need to feel low

I said

Hey there

There's a place you can go

You don't need... to... feel... unhappy

Ner ner  ner

Head on over to the UNRWA

Ner Ner Ner Nerdle Nerdle

The UNRWA

You can go quite mad

Take part in Jihad

You can hang out with Recep and Vlad

At the UNRWA

Ner ner ner nerdle

There's lovely people

At the UNRWA

Kick off your shoes

You got nothing to lose

Making war on eight million Jews

At the UNRWA

Ner ner nerdle nerdle ner

UNRWA."

After that, there's a nice seasonal change of pace with this unforgettable cover of the legendary Chris De Burgh's most romantic ballad...

"It was late that night on the open road.

People calling out his name.

Name, name, name.

Beware that hooded old men

With his hand on the tiller.

Then the ferryman said

There may be trouble ahead

So you must pay me now

Don't do it

You must pay me now

Don't do it

Still that voice came from beyond.

Whatever you do

Don't pay the nanny

Don't even fix a price

Don't pay the nanny

Till she gets you to the other side

Ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah."

There's even a little rap music in the form of a song as incomprehensible as a WB Yeats poem, with apologies to somebody who calls himself Eminem.

"Do trailer park atheists go round the outside

Round the outside

Round the outside

Ner ner ner ner ner ner

Do trailer park atheists go round the outside

Round the outside

Round the outside

Ner ner ner ner ner ner

Guess who's back

Back again

Heelers back

Tell a friend

Guess who's back

Guess who's back

Guess who's back

Ooowa ooowa ooowa

Nernnnn

I've created a monster

There's nobody wants to

See Heelers no more

They want Brian Byrne

I'm chopped liver

But if Byrne's what you want

Well

May God forgive ya

So let me see

FF n FG

Won't let me be me

On Irish TV

They're taking a trip

With the usual schtik

But it won't do the trick

Because no matter how many wearisome atheistic abortiionist conformist lefties on RTE

It'll be so empty without me

Something something something

Something something something else with a joke in it

And so on"
