I say, here's fun: Re-christen some of your favourite Manic Street Preachers songs with a Christmas flavour. And with six albums and abot 916 singles to choose from, this shouldn't be hard.

Here's a simple and rather unimaginative one to get you started -
If You Tolerate Christmas Then Your Children Will Be Next - not so much funny as thought-provoking.

Go kids

Ok let's open the game up to lyrics, in a desperate attempt to get some more people actually replying to this thread - maybe I'll offer free oral sex later as well.

Very good.

Thanks Kit.

Well, apparently the band are planning to release an actual christmas single this year (which makes me happy!).

Pass me a shovel while I dig this thread up ...

Wasn't one of them nearly christened Christmas? Nicky or Richey, I think. Almost as funny as the near miss that could have been Clint Eastwood Bradfield (I'm not making this up. Read a biography).

They wrote a song called 'Patrick Bateman' once, where the chorus was 'I fucked god in the ass'. I don´t know if the record company ever let them release that, but maybe this time, it makes it on the single?

This is my favourite thread ever. Keep it up you lot. I've been racking my brain for the last twenty minutes trying to come up with a contribution. "The Intense Humming Of Christmas Evil" - Tim Burton's long awaited sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas, perhaps, starring James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, the little one who plays the drums and looks like Paul Merton and Helena Bonham Carter?
