It's Time to Post Your Favorite Christmas Music

This will appeal to older New Orleanians. It's so funny! :LOL: This is what many New Orleanians actually sound like. The establishments are all classic New Orleans places, many long gone such as McKenzie's and K&B.

I'M WALKING BACKWARDS FOR CHRISTMAS
(Spike Milligan)
The Goons - 1956


I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
Across the Irish Sea,
I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
It's the only thing for me.

I've tried walking sideways,
And walking to the front,
But people just look at me,
And say it's a publicity stunt.

I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
To prove that I love you.

An immigrant lad, loved an Irish colleen
From Dublin Galway Bay.
He longed for her arms,
But she spurned his charms,
And sailed o'er the foam away

She left the lad by himself, on his own
All alone, a-sorrowing
And sadly he dreamed, or at least that's the
way it seemed, buddy,
That an angel quieted him....
An angel quieted the same.

I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
Across the Irish Sea.
I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
It's the finest thing for me.

And so I've tried walking sideways,
And walking to the front.
But people just laughed, and said,
"It's a publicity stunt".

So I'm walking backwards for Christmas
To prove that I love you.
 
I loved the Goon Show, in the early 60s CBC radio out of Winnipeg Manitoba ran it every Sunday night.
