As we approach Christmas and the festive season, it’s time to adapt Desert Island Discs to Desert Iceberg Discs – transferring the palm trees from the sandy desert island to a remote snow laden ice floe just off Greenland……
Before we come to the MyFirstRecord.co.uk Eight Best Christmas Songs to take to the Desert Iceberg, first of all the book and luxury item. The book would have to be Raymond Brigg’s “The Snowman”, with it’s fantastic illustrations. The luxury item would have to be a “Little Elf” DVD.
The 8 Best Xmas Songs for the Desert Iceberg –
1) Greg Lake – “I Believe in Father Christmas”
2) Pogues & Kirsty Macoll – “Fairytale of New York”
3) Slade – “Merry Christmas Everybody”
4) Wizzard – “I Wish it could be Christmas Everyday”
5) Mud – “Lonely This Christmas”
6) Steeleye Span – “Gaudete”
7) Brenda Lee – “Rocking around the Christmas Tree”
8 ) Aled Jones – “Walking in the Air” ( from “The Snowman” )

Good choices!! Against my better judgement, I love Mariah Carey’s song and John Lennon & Yoko Ono are an omission by me too. And Jona Lewie’s song is also a perennial favourite. I should have added a reserve list of eight!! :-)
