Noddy wrote the song as MY MY we're all crazy now. Chas Chandler thought he was singing MAMA. So they changed it.
  2:42pm

That’s so interesting. There’s a core couple of dozen 70s Christmas pop records that are utterly ubiquitous here: Slade, Wizzard, Greg Lake, Jonah Lewie and so on.

So True! @ Matt Clarke! America has the worst taste in popular Christmas songs

@Gaylord: When I was in Liverpool this summer it was definitely a toss up if I was going to hear people singing a Beatles or an Oasis song at the pub!

Always loved this Lennon song. Preferred it to Free as a Bird. Nice to hear what it was like before Jeff Lynne got a hold of it.

This Demo is better than the "Beatles" version that was released.
Avatar 3:54pm
AtlanticTunnel:

Wot a lovely song!!!!!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:54pm
Gaylord Fields:

Ed, I wish more bands would heed those words, instead of stealing from their mediocre peers or else thinking that original must mean good.
  3:54pm
Officer Pupp:

It’s so weird hearing this demo, it’s like you can hear orchestration but it’s just harmonics and room ambience.

I agree: This was the better song of the ELOBeatles tracks, and this demo is loveliness.

I was just gonna say... love the tambourine.
