There’s a great picture of Tom Jones in the accompanying booklet, decked out in a pimptastic red suit, accompanied by a saying in Welsh: “Nadolig llawen a blewyn newedd dda I bawb.” Which probably means, “Where my bitches? Me likey the young ones.”

When these fuckers want to butcher classics like White Christmas, they've got to pay royalties to someone, right? If we all contribute, we can pay the copyright holders DOUBLE the money NOT to let dickweeds like Foster et al. make a steamy Jarreaumas of these songs!

Then, when you're 80 years old, you'll know for certain why they never visit you at the nursing home.
