i love that song, but to me, it's just a bit too Perry Como/Mel Torme for me to visualize Neil singing it.

A little too cardigan, plaid trousers, pipe-ish, where's Bing when you need him for my liking, perhaps.

Speaking of duets with Bing, ya'll will recall the Bowie/Bing collaboration on Little Drummer Boy. Now that was very cool.

We just have to think of a Bing to Neil's Bowie now.

Neil could get away with The Killers' "Don't Shoot Me Santa".

- since I saw your post, I've been trying to remember who I'd seen/hear do a decent version of this song. With the help of Youtube, I've got there - Travis performed it on VH1's Storytellers a few years back......

You think NF could do justice to this song?

I have the Travis version. It isn't bad but it doesn't come close to the original. I like Travis a lot.
