You naughty little bug Cat

Two of my favourites drawn together

As they came out of the Cardiff version of the 'Magic Bag' 64

I did think when I drew my own nomination against Bally's Greg Lake I was onto a loser with the likely votes here

[Muppet the Cat]

Vaughan Monroe - Let It Snow (Gandi)
Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday (Muppet)
Pogues (feat Kirsty MacColl) - Fairytale of New York (64)
Elton John - Step Into Christmas (BGWhite)
John & Yoko/The Plastic Ono Band - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (billie)
Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody (Hector)
Wham - Last Christmas (Mrs64)
Pretenders - 2000 Miles (Ges)

(Slade v DL a difficult choice, as the Spector Xmas album is without question the best christmas album ever. However, Noddy reminds me of childhood Xmas's in the 70's)

Mrs 64's bag is no better mate, it uncanny how so many good songs are drawn together in the last round she managed to pull out many of the jokers playing each other

Agree the Wizard song looked doomed once drawn against the Greg Lake xmas goodie
