So if you want to do something good and ended up here: Buy the original and then donates for Ebola. Yes, these are 1-5 clicks more, but if you want to really help: It's worth it.
Now the song itself: The original has a ... I want it this carefully "cheerful" basic tenor. Of course, the topic is not funny and of course is also the text no broadly grinning YEAH by itself, but you can hear, these were all involved with pleasure in this recording and have sung their respective lines. And it is this joy that makes the original song so perfectly (and the first line, sung by Paul Young, even after 30 years still creeps makes) because it in a Christmas song (and sorry, it happens to be one) precisely comes: joy and reflection in one.
Fast forward in time 30 years after the beginning. The times have changed, some for the better (phones are now cordless), partly for the worse (the 90s came along). And now is every singer, every singer in every talent show taught emotions "MAKE audibly". That's not completely wrong (though I personally Puking wars when Mariah Carey before me a howling), because, of course, emotion is the basis of a sad song.
And that is the problem of this recording: It is (still) a sad background, yes. It's still not a typical Juppidieh and Juppheidah text, yes. And we should be touched (yes Christmas). All correct. But one must therefore put because in a line of text all feeling in the world? Namely, (audible) ANY / R? It scares me how dam ... Eiden something may sound, because too many people pack too much fat in their respective lines. This is like a cake that is made of 30 bakers simultaneously and every baker skin one serving of sugar for his cake pure. The result: an indefinable, sticky sweet, nasty-tasting mass. And that's what we have here also. Much feeling arises not necessarily a soulful song.
Again: Who wants to do something good: Buy the original and donates the same amount for Ebola. So you give equal time a double statement: 1. I like to donate. 2. I do not buy any junk just because it has nen good cause.
