Tim Minchin – White Wine In The Sun [iTunes Link]

There’s a campaign to get a Rage Against the Machine song to Christmas No. 1 as a protest against X Factor. All very funny and everything, but to my mind, much better would be to get a proper Christmas song up the charts. And this is a proper Christmas song. Beautiful, sentimental, and a secular anthem to boot1 So save the pennies you had earmarked for Killing In The Name, and instead buy White Wine In The Sun by Tim Minchin, on iTunes or HMV or Tesco or anywhere else.

It appeared in the iTunes Store on Monday, and made it up to number 64 before slowly slipping backwards to where it now rests at 73. This is a shame.

So help get it into the top 40 for Christmas and go and buy it now. Tell your friends!

  1. Surely any Christmas song which includes the line “I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu, To be honest” deserves your support! [↩]
