‘Fairytale of New York’ tops motorists’ fave songs during Christmas list
December 21st, 2009 - 6:10 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, December 21 (ANI): The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl’s track ‘Fairytale of New York’ has topped the list of songs people wish to listen the most while driving at Christmas.
Chris Rea’s Driving Home for Christmas followed in the second place and Bing Crosby’s White Christmas in the third.
John Lennon’s Happy Christmas (War is Over) stood at ninth position and was most popular in Northern Ireland.
However, the poll conducted by the AA and Populus found that 29 per cent of drivers over 65 did not want to hear any of the top 10 tunes.
“Those driving home for Christmas should ensure that they haven’t had too much Mistletoe and Wine,” the Scotsman quoted AA president Edmund King as saying.
He added: “Those dreaming of a White Christmas will hope that the roads have been gritted. Those who don’t know its Christmas or are too merry probably shouldn’t be on the roads.” (ANI)
