I love this. Very cheery and punchy. It's a "Pick you up by the scruff of the neck" sort of number. It got more like a song after the middle eight.

They can really write and the boys at the start who were rapping were only just rapping not singing, there was a melody under the speech just waiting to happen.

They should let it happen naturally, not forced "Oh this needs a tune....that'll have to do" because it is really going places that way.

Is it about 'I can't sing' I wonder? Show them Ian Dury and Frank Sinatra. Two of the great singers, neither had a voice. Nadolig Llawen A Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

I'm guessing the last bit is Welsh for Happy Christmas Mr C?

Once redheadman made his comment I realised that there is a similarity to 'Wham Rap' (but, since that is one of the records that would be on my Desert Island Discs, there's no harm in that).

The sheer energy of the whole mix of rap, ska, choppy guitar, and brass is impressive and very likeable.
