Sitting here in the cold, now an old man, I was privileged to work with these guys the Xmas after it came out,at a well known night club in Oldham. The memories that have just flooded back from when I was a cocky young disc jockey thinking old age would pass me buy has brought tears to my eyes. So you young ones enjoy every moment, it goes quicker than you think. MERRY CHRISTMAS especially to any of the old crew from Baileys or Cats whiskers.
@@annthompson3246 some is wasted on the youth, but as for this youth (30 Yrs) I have been spending the last 9 Christmas volunteering with salvation army, helping them get a Christmas dinner on the table for those how have no home or table to visit
Another Great Christmas song. Here it is December 2023 and I still love to hear this song... Thankyou for posting this video. Merry Christmas Everyone..Enjoy!!
This song breaks my heart. The lyrics speak for me in any event. I lost in May my beloved husband after 21 years of happy marriage. We used to enjoy twice the Christmas time as on 24th - Christmas Eve was his birthday also. This year I spent Christmas alone, looking at our pictures from previous years when we were together and happy. Indeed, my tears could melt a mountain of snow.😢
Dla ludzi z UK to jest niepojęte ale ja w Polsce w latach 70 -80 słuchałem angielskich zespołów w radio BBC lub Luxemburg które były zakłócane dopiero w nocy można było odbierac na 50 procent .Taki to byl komunizm.
I lost my Dad in December 2013 and my Mum in September 2023. This will be my first Christmas without either of parents. I remember hearing this song growing up but it really hits home now 💔😪
Hi Nell, I lost my Mum in 1975, my Father in 1987 and my sister in 2007. Everything changes but the good Lord has given us the strength to carry on. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
This is for my husband John, my mom and dad who are no longer here for me to enjoy Christmas with . Thinking of you always, but especially today. God bless you all , love to you all ❤❤❤😢😢😢
Yeah 50years milestone hard to believe or the belief.Glam Rockers the 70s playing this today Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays to all over Our fine World 🌎🌍
Well, it's the same as most for everything else. A load of wankers celebrating the death of a billion murdered and abused animals and eating their corpses!
This song came out in 1974 reached number 1 here in the UK, so this is nearly 50 years old and still to this day it's a song that make you think, pitty nothing now days comes close
oh please. I was just trying to kid myself I wasn't that old and then saw your post. I was a cool, bees-knees teen when this came out! still, good record and good life.
I love Mud they make really good songs and are good to watch, l love this song it is very sad and Les sings it lovely ,he does sound a lot like Elvis ,he has a great voice and is very handsome as is the other guys ,Great group ,miss you ,wish l could turn back the clock when you and all the other groups were around, the 50,s ,60,s and 70,s were the best years . I cannot listen to the music of today it is dreadful .love you Mud God Bless you and thank you for the great songs and music and giving me such happiness , l am a 73 yr old but l can still dance to the rock n roll songs and music.. love Paula xxx .
Brilliant song! Even if we all thought it was Elvis Presley, lol! I know it's a sad song, but we all have loved ones who we have lost and think about, especially around Xmas time. I dedicate this song to all those we have loved and lost.❤
One of the best bands of the time. I’m listening to this in a crewroom full of blokes with earbuds thinking back I was 12 at the time 62 now. Thank you Mud.
We all have lost someone very special that we miss every day, yes it will be lonely this christmas without you. Great song from back in 74 and still great today thanks MUD.
This year has flowing i swear it's finishing us to the ends it really feels like 6months not 12 when u get older it doesn't help than it was when u were a kid or younger or different generations eras etc
so do i , i heard it as a background music in a new serie at netflix , and was reminded at nonce , just had to refresh my memories and listnening to it here . glad i did :P ps serie is Black Dowes 1st episode .
Fantastic emotions, tears and all, my wife of 50+ years died very suddenly at the end of September 2024. It will be lonely this Christmas, lonely and cold without her to hold. Please tell those you love how strong that is while you can, hold their hand, my wife died holding mine - we had held hands throughout the years since 10 th January 1968. Great song, thank you for sharing and reading this.
I was from Kent in the 1970s, my mum had gone away, so my grandfather had some family in Norfolk, so we went to visit them, we were welcomed with enthusiasm, I had cousins l had never met, 6 of them 5 girls and 1 boy, we all got on really well. This song was number 1, I can remember dancing to it, my cousin's and I always see or contact each other. The song has fond memories, My cousins mean allot to me. 🎄🎄🇬🇧 🎸💃
Another one of the 70's great bands. What a beautiful version of this Christmas song. It never gets old. With Christmas not far away. Merry Christmas to all Mud fans listening to this 😂❤❤❤😂❤😂❤❤❤
@richardeaves798 and to all music lovers from the 70's. We had fantastic bands, fantastic music. We had much better music than is around today. We had great times, no mobile phones, computers. We made our own fun and enjoyed ourselves
This is the original version, written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn (writers of “Can the Can” and The Sweet’s songs amongst many others) based on the 1958 doo-woo classic “You Cheated, You Lied”
@albrecqgeraldwell the Voice is nearly similar love Elvis Blue Christmas mixed with Martina McBride is done well the video merge them both from different eras amazing u should check it it's classy
@@jkilgill1 I'm pretty sure they were. Unfortunately Les Gray the lead singer passed away in 2004. Mud had several hits in the mid 70s - the one I remember most is "Tiger feet".
@Blue They had a lot of hits over in their native U.K . And Europe and also Australia . Its a well know fact that Les was a huge fan of Elvis but all of their other hits were Mud style songs
@@JaquieDanielsMusic I think The Secrets That You Keep has a bit of Elvis sound about it But Show Me Your A Woman is purlely MUD . If Im not mistaken I think Show Me Youre A Woman mightve been their first hit. Hits like Rocket , The Cat Crept In , Dynamite ,Oh Boy etc came later xxx
Considering this song was supposed to be sung/sang by Elvis (Who declined for some reason), yeah i can see where the impersonation comes from. Impersonation aside, Mud really did sound like Elvis in a way.. I thought for years as well that Elvis sung/sang this song.
The only Christmas song I played back in 2003 after my mum died at the start of the month and the funeral at the start of Christmas week. It captured my mood perfectly, and still does. Great song.
My mum passed away in 2012 on the 30th November and I heard my dad playing it the day after. I really had a go at him for it because it was too raw and way too appropriate. I can easily listen to it now though. It's not the cheeriest Christmas song, but it is a belter. We all have these bereavements in our lives and hopefully you too can now listen to this song and not feel too upset. Merry Christmas to you.
When they were at their peak I took my young music mad nephew to see them at the local theatre. They absolutely belted it out, and invited 50 kids onstage with them to sing Tiger Feet. My nephew is now over 50 and remembers every minute like it was yesterday.
@MichaelPowell-fr2jk It was they're way of paying tribute to Elvis Aaron Presley who's bday is on January 8th. This was his record and this was Mud, thanking him 🙏
This song always used to remind me of good times as a young child with family, friends and presents, even though it has a sad vibe and i didnt really understand what it was talking about, as it was played every xmas. My mother loved xmas time and always made a big effort trying to give everyone the best time! A few years ago i lost my mother close to xmas time and since then the song has a new meaning to me. The lyrics make more sense now.. ❤MUM❤
I have a story so much like yours, we didn't have much and I was youngest of 7 kids. My mother worked so bloody hard after my father became disabled and still always had a wonderful time with plenty of food and little presents. My mum then died shortly before Christmas and never been the same
Excellent excellent record, one of the very best ever. It was a pleasure to be heartbroken, or even pretend to be, just to wallow drunkenly in the sentiments, lyrics and tune of this great hit from Mud. And what a lovely year 1975 was, especially with this record as part of it.
I am 63 and this songs bring back good times thank you my mates down the river cam in Cambridge for those who are with us today. Thanks for making my life brilliant
This song reminds me when I was a kid and life was just a playground. Loving parents, brother, sister, family and friends. I had it all and still have it all. Even though I have lost lots of friends and family along the way, I love my life.
The christmas classic that caused a million tears. and the christmas classic that will continue to do so, for many many years....merry xmas . where ever you are..
I've no idea why I looked this up again this time of year. Surprised that there's only one comment since mine 4 years ago. For all those who have lost loved ones this year, enjoy the song but you're never going to be truly alone when you have even just one friend. I've always over this hit and reel it out every year. This year is more poignant than ever, but I know there are many, many people who are going to be feeling the very same way. Love to all those who are going though it too.
Heard this song playing at my local cafe this morning. Thought it was Elvis at first! Arrived home and googled the chorus. Now added to my Xmas day playlist. I’m in Australia and have never heard this song before
Your not alone, l'm here, all the way from Australia! To think, you didn't know l exsist❣ Merry Christmas to you all from a Glam Rock fan and an even happier 2023 everyone.🌏🤶
Working in a hospital this Christmas again and this song reminds me of those who don't have anyone at this time of year. People who care for you hold them and don't let them go
Merry Christmas everyone still one of the greatest Christmas songs ever made ,missing my family back in England i haven't see my dad in 37 years love you soooo much
These Christmas songs are so beautiful we would never get them ever again,so let’s treasure these lovely songs and keep them in our memories.Lots of love to ‘this band.
Супер! Так выдержано в определенном стиле от начала песни и до конца, атмосферно. Все органично, нежно, певуче, музыкально, мягкая оркестровка. Слушать одно удовольствие!
Beautiful ......this will be listened to every Christmas season in many many places and homes all over the world.... I wonder why Elvis never did a cover of this song? Im fairly confident that Les Gray RIP would have been delighted if Elvis had made this request.
The most Elvis Christmas song not done by Elvis. The amount of times I've seen this listed as as Elvis track is testament to the sheer tribute the song is to The King.
This song is not a tribute to Elvis it was written a couple of years before he died and it's quite disrespectful to Mud when people say it's a Elvis song at the end of the day Mud released it not Elvis it's there song and they done a great job
@@ggmm6182 Dude obviously it's a tribute to Elvis. He's imitating his voice and is dressed like him. Even the chords are the exact same as most of Elvis songs.
For all those who will be lonely this Christmas , remember things will look up in the future and you must stay strong. Christmas can be a very hard time if you're going through a break up / divorce. Most importantly Try your best to surround yourself with loving family and friends. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone John
Always remember that you are not alone. God loves you and cares for you more than anyone else would do. So please don't feel lonly. The ONE Who really loves you the most is always with you. Merry Christmas and blessings to you with much love ❤️ ❤❤.
My father lost his battle with cancer just before Christmas and since then i always play this song which makes me realize how much i miss you♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
My mother died last year. Both my dogs died this year, as well as my good friend who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer, it has been a Harrowing 18 months to say the least. Just have to hang on to what keeps you sane, what keeps you honest, what keeps you warm. Don't forsake the gifts bestowed upon yourself, be it talent or technical prowess, virtue, and keep faith that tomorrow will bring forth brighter horizons.
Despite not sung live, this performance hit a definitive "10" with me. The strength and message here was enough to carry me through this at a time when I was at an all time low. Surely I'm allowed to have my own memories, cherished or otherwise, and not challenged by the "nonsensical" woke views that exist now but not then. Happy Holidays is your option, not mine.......so whoever you are.......HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Beautiful song...wonderful 😍😍😍, I can't believe that this marvel existed ...... wonderful voice, or verses make me die , the part where he believes he recites the verses is an incredible thing ..... a strong, sensitive, sad message for the lack whose someone you love and that the arrival of Christmas goes to amplify it. At Christmas there are many lonely people we have to think about, putting an extra place at the table and insisting on having them with us even if they often resist.. I'm touched by this song, it's perfect in everything, thank you for sharing it ...… ☺️ ☺️ ☺️.

I've no idea why I looked this up again this time of year. Surprised that there's only one comment since mine 4 years ago. For all those who have lost loved ones this year, enjoy the song but you're never going to be truly alone when you have even just one friend. I've always over this hit and reel it out every year. This year is more poignant than ever, but I know there are many, many people who are going to be feeling the very same way. Love to all those who are going though it too.
1974 record.
Now into November 2023,Christmas is creeping up again! Hello all from England.
Heard this song playing at my local cafe this morning. Thought it was Elvis at first!
Arrived home and googled the chorus. Now added to my Xmas day playlist. I’m in Australia and have never heard this song before
A classic 👍

I love this song, hardly heard on radio. Shame.
Happy Christmas everyone ❤️🎄💙🎄
Wow he has a voice that is like half Elvis and half Roy Orbison. Excellent!
When i first heard it i thought the same...
Elvis?
Roy Orbison?
Then i googled it...wow!
Absolute classic, Les gets a lot of feeling in to those lyrics when he sings them, he feels our pain, us lonely Christmas folk
Your not alone, l'm here, all the way from Australia! To think, you didn't know l exsist❣
Merry Christmas to you all from a Glam Rock fan and an even happier 2023 everyone.🌏🤶
Working in a hospital this Christmas again and this song reminds me of those who don't have anyone at this time of year. People who care for you hold them and don't let them go

These Christmas songs are so beautiful we would never get them ever again,so let’s treasure these lovely songs and keep them in our memories.Lots of love to ‘this band.
1974 record.
I think, one of the best Xmas songs EVER !!!
Quality
I agree!
1974 record.
The first time I heard it was on my way to school in the street on a cold December morning in 1974, a wonderful song and timelessly.
the christmas records are played on the radio over and over non stop but i never hear this on which is one of the best , what gives ? 2024
Lost my grandmother Elizabeth who was laid to rest Christmas eve 24/12/24😢❤ this was her final song played ❤
Супер! Так выдержано в определенном стиле от начала песни и до конца, атмосферно. Все органично, нежно, певуче, музыкально, мягкая оркестровка. Слушать одно удовольствие!
1974 record.
One of my favourites always takes me back to my childhood . The oldies are always the best. God bless wherever you are.
Correct.
A magical era for popular music, wonderful bands , wonderful tunes , wonderful times !
Beautiful ......this will be listened to every Christmas season in many many places and homes all over the world.... I wonder why Elvis never did a cover of this song? Im fairly confident that Les Gray RIP would have been delighted if Elvis had made this request.
1974 song.
Reminds me of my nan who passes a few years ago since She loved this song.
Merry Christmas where ever you are.
1974 record.

The 1970s had great Christmas pop songs.
100%
❤️
70's far before my time. But the songs will never die

Regarding the 1970's, the more you explore, the more musical gems you find to listen to.
👍
This goes out to my late Aunt and Grandmother me and my family lost last year. May they celebrate Christmas in the sky forever.
50 the song is this year.
The most Elvis Christmas song not done by Elvis. The amount of times I've seen this listed as as Elvis track is testament to the sheer tribute the song is to The King.
This song is not a tribute to Elvis it was written a couple of years before he died and it's quite disrespectful to Mud when people say it's a Elvis song at the end of the day Mud released it not Elvis it's there song and they done a great job
@@ggmm6182 By any chance do you watch Dave Gorman?
@@ggmm6182 Dude obviously it's a tribute to Elvis. He's imitating his voice and is dressed like him. Even the chords are the exact same as most of Elvis songs.
This song was released by Elvis in 1957
Mud released it in 1975
It was indeed a tribute to the king. Les gary was a big Elvis fan.
This song brings me back 40 years ago, when i've had that lonely Christmas. But its one of my favorite x-mas songs. Thank you..Mud.
1974 record.
What a 70's classic . And it will be me again this Christmas
As dad died last year
These were thanking the days of PROPER CHRISTMAS MUSIC
Shame for your father!.
Sitting here all alone on Christmas eve in a dark room besides the tree. Absolutely heartbroken. Hopefully next year will be better. ❤
Wonderful song , love it and I miss my whife who passed the way this July. My first chrismas alone.
So Sorry for your loss
@@mjotd8670 Many thanks
1974 record.
I have it on repeat now in October, best christmas song ever made, never gets boring and that more then 40 years later.

For all those who will be lonely this Christmas , remember things will look up in the future and you must stay strong. Christmas can be a very hard time if you're going through a break up / divorce.
Most importantly Try your best to surround yourself with loving family and friends.
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone
John
or someone from your family died. its different kind of loneliness but still u have hole in ur soul.
I do hope so freind divorce is so crap when does the hurt go
Thanks for this.
Thanks John. That might just give people who are feeling low a little boost at the most hateful time of the year when you are lonely
Merry Christmas jhon and all the best for the new year
Always remember that you are not alone. God loves you and cares for you more than anyone else would do. So please don't feel lonly. The ONE Who really loves you the most is always with you.
Merry Christmas and blessings to you with much love ❤️ ❤❤.
Wonderful backing vocals and harmonies.😀
1974 record.
Piękna piosenka fajni faceci, to był najlepszy skład zespołu wyglądają jak najlepsi przyjaciele.
Dlaczego nie słychać tego utworu przed świętami tylko katują nas oklepanym badziewiem??????.☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
I remember hearing this as a kid thinking it was the King singing it.still brilliant in 2024
King Charlie was never a singer😅
I had a work colleague back in the 80's who wouldn't believe this wasn't Elvis.
31M views... a lot of lonely people. Sending you blessings to be less lonely this year. Love is inside you ❤
Lily is beautiful
ever year for the past 10 years this song brings tears to my eyes , still a beautiful song
Rip les Gray and Elvis the king 👑
Just love this since my Dad played it when i was 5..MERRY CHRISTMAS DAD..LOVE YOU! I stare in the night stars & you`re shinig down on me..
My father lost his battle with cancer just before Christmas and since then i always play this song which makes me realize how much i miss you♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I understand....xx
So sorry to hear that he will always be close to you
My mother died last year. Both my dogs died this year, as well as my good friend who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer, it has been a Harrowing 18 months to say the least. Just have to hang on to what keeps you sane, what keeps you honest, what keeps you warm. Don't forsake the gifts bestowed upon yourself, be it talent or technical prowess, virtue, and keep faith that tomorrow will bring forth brighter horizons.
The best christmas song ever made . I still love it so much
Me too, along with Gilbert o Sullivan and Showaddywaddy, Merry Christmas Charlotte x

Perfectly summarizes the Christmas mood in 2020.
Despite not sung live, this performance hit a definitive "10" with me. The strength and message here was enough to carry me through this at a time when I was at an all time low. Surely I'm allowed to have my own memories, cherished or otherwise, and not challenged by the "nonsensical" woke views that exist now but not then.
Happy Holidays is your option, not mine.......so whoever you are.......HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
1974 record.
Saw Mud at Baileys nightclub Leicester in the 70s. This band was brilliant live and Les Gray was a great frontman.
This is one of my favourite Christmas songs
This sums up my whole Christmas childhood in one song. Memories, family, tiny tears dolly and my mammy's big smile I miss so much!
1974 record.
A voice like Elvis...
Love and Peace forever 💜☮️
Love this Christmas song ❤
Beautiful song...wonderful 😍😍😍, I can't believe that this marvel existed ...... wonderful voice, or verses make me die , the part where he believes he recites the verses is an incredible thing ..... a strong, sensitive, sad message for the lack whose someone you love and that the arrival of Christmas goes to amplify it. At Christmas there are many lonely people we have to think about, putting an extra place at the table and insisting on having them with us even if they often resist.. I'm touched by this song, it's perfect in everything, thank you for sharing it ...… ☺️ ☺️ ☺️.

Merry christmas everyone ❤best song😊
