Well there’s no accounting for taste!
^It's good but i much preferred Russ Abbott's rendition of Atmosphere
Don't laugh - Back in spring 1988, I went round my "in-laws" for Sunday Roast dinner, only to find.....
" ***** (me), we've got FOUR tickets to the BBC TV centre, as audience to go see RUSS ABBOTT's "Christmas Special" being filmed"
I'm like - "F.F.S - Ain't much keen on Russ Abbott, don't mean him any harm or else, he just ain't my cup of tea, that's all...."
"Besides, what on EARTH are they doing, filming a forthcoming Dec' Xmas-special, when it's only just inside April for ?"
"Christmas is like another 10 x Eons away, like, late December - Que ?"
Long story short - I got 'bullied/badgered/cajoled' into going by the pretty-wife AND the in-laws..."
Figured, "Ahhh well, at least I get to see/go-inside the famous BBC TV-centre AND see how filming's done, w/LIVE audience"
Around EXACT same time-period, I was about to buy another bike (Suzuki GS.1000) in addtion to my 1,000cc Kawasaki
Main & major memory of that coach-trip down there, is of my Wife's badgering/domineering Mother (My Mother in Law's Gob)
"What DO you want another bloody bike for ? YOU'VE ONLY GOT ONE AR$E" - Jeeeez, I got proper earache !
Despite her "incessant nagging", I bought the damn bike anyways
Mother-in-Laws can 'go shove it', when a natural-born Alpha Dominant Son-in-Law gets his own way (prior to kids, too)
I still have THAT self-same bike to this day, thankfully - one of my best ever investments, that now is slowly increasing (in value).
But every time (now), someone mentions that (ghastly) Russ Abbott record, it takes me back to THAT prolonged coach trip (& her Gob)
