The place for music makers
A festive feast of audio-visual frivolity
The MusicRadar Team, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 12:07 pm UTC
It's day 10 of MusicRadar's 12 days of Christmas, and we've already kept you enthralled and appalled in equal measure with the best and worst Christmas songs of all time.
You can always count on the YouTube community to deliver and we've compiled this special festive collection of killer clips to allow you to while away those last few hours of office tedium before the holiday season really kicks in.
Go on, take the phone off the hook and check out these clips...
Bear with me on the title here – it's not entirely serious. Well, actually, it's not serious at all: taken from British comic Peter Serafinowicz's show, here's a sketch of Ringo Starr remembering sessions for an unreleased McCartney song. Spot-on impressions and full of Christmas cheer to boot. Chris Wickett
It's like a slow and painful relationship – what's not to like!? Ok, it's not particularly festive (a cheating partner can cheat all year round) but neither is Jona Lewie's Stop The Cavalry. This song – like the rest of its parent album Bows And Arrows – is epic, with drowsy vocals a plenty. And, just like Christmas, it's followed by the equally brilliant New Year's Eve six tracks later. Genius? Yes. Tom Porter
Singer/songwriter Aimee Mann will be hosting her third annual Christmas show this year, and this clip sees her attempting to persuade Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell to participate. One suspects that she watched a fair few episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm before filming this, but that's no bad thing, obviously. Ben Rogerson
