I think we need to clarify things right up front today: “Last Christmas” is by no means my favorite song. It’s not even in my Top 10. And I’m not obsessed with it, despite what you might think (although I must admit it’s grown on me quite a bit). This site and archive are here because of society at large. If people didn’t want to hear this song, these bands and artists wouldn’t record it. We are just giving you what you want, world. And in that same vein, we’ve gotten so many e-mails about it, that we won’t be removing week-old downloads. You win, we’ll keep them up. Besides, it just wouldn’t be in the holiday spirit.
Ok, you get three guesses what kind of music Mr. Methane records…Here’s a hint, “While practising yoga positions in his home town of Macclesfield, Cheshire, Paul discovered he was blessed with the gift of being able to fart at will.”
That’s right. Mr. Methane is the world’s only professional flatulist. If you’re like me, and I’m sure you are, I recommend buying the awe-inspiring Merry Methane album directly from Mr. Methane, at his site for plenty of other flatulated holiday classics. This album left my entire family in hysterics, and Mr. Methane is a pretty cordial guy. Drop him a line over at his myspace page.
His talents earn him our first Magical Snowflake Award for the day!

While you may think you know what you’re hearing with version, let me present this excerpt from their website, “Their musical instruments mainly include those Chinese musical instruments like guzheng, dulcimer, pipa, erhu, zhudi, xiao, hulusi, duxianqin etc.” Of course. You can get the rest of Twelve Girls Band’s Christmas cd at amazon.com

And for all of those who want to record your own version, Shane has some advice…
