Some find this track "irritating"....too simplistic..etc...

I always liked it. I kinda think "simple" is the whole POINT of the song. Good stuff.

It is simple, but I find myself bobbing my head when I hear it.
It's fun...
Some of the traditional Christmas carols are beautiful, but too deep and solemn.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

This song is one of THE songs that make me feel it is ineed christmas time.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Paul's is the original. The Kenny Ball version came out in the 1990's. The person that made the video just put up pictures of his older albums.
