I return to this song every year even when it's barely December, because this is the first song I think of when Christmas time approaches and cause it's such an addicting song. It makes me remember that in life, you - yourself is the only person in life that you should rely on to make you happy. (Unless you have a wife/kids etc.) 7 years on and counting! The more things change, the more they stay the same. Happy holidays, everyone!
LOVE the location for the shoot, one of my favorite places in the area (what... hatlepools grim! you gotta make the most of it somehow) catchy ass song n all.
Every time I hear this song I always think they're about to say "Christmas! Was better in the '80s! Better in the '90s!" despite the fact I know that's not the right lyrics.
@Evie2607 Problem this year is that there are tonnes of different campaigns this year so it probs wont work. Some are trying to do "the bird is the word" others "The Pogues - Fairtale in Newyork" so it will be hard this year. Which is a shame as I love this track and it really deserves to be seen as better than horrible horrible x factor.
"Snow was deeper"... No it wasn't! I can remember perhaps ONE, maybe two tops, snowy Christmases in the 80s. I got a bike on one at it was a pretty major pain actually. Nevertheless, one of the very few good Christmas songs.

Me and my dad love this song!!!!!!!
Love this so much. Listening now and getting excited about Christmas and the 2025 tour from the lads❤
Superb song.
That is a brilliant song...
I listen to this song every year around Xmas!!!
One of the most underrated, brilliant bands I know.
I heard it the other day felt like hearing it again.
This song rules.....because it's true.
Not only a great song, it delivers a great truth: Christmas WAS better in the 80s. The snow WAS deeper. Suck it, 21st -century Christmas . . .
Nice work - maintaining their record as my fave band of this millenium.
Best band EVER!! Barry has a great genuine vocal style...Pure mackam! Stomps all over the shit that passes as music today.
Still one of the best Christmas songs in 2018
And in 2022 🎅😁
Another great one from the Futureheads!
Even if I was born in the crappy 90's.
The Futureheads are fantastic.
Love a good Christmas song. Love a bit of the Futureheads.
Put the two together and BOOM :-D
1:36 It's My Teacher
underrated Christmas song.
Two of my favorite things: the greatest band in the world, and the greatest time of year!
Why is this not on Spotify?!!!
Love it. You've found a new calling guys.
Brilliant video, brilliant song
a great song as usual
I love it how Barry goes really Mackem during some words
Nice! Its really good.
How good is this,already love this band but now a stomping Christmas tune just puts the marzipan on the cake.👍😁
Brilliant.. as usual
LOVE the location for the shoot, one of my favorite places in the area (what... hatlepools grim! you gotta make the most of it somehow)
catchy ass song n all.
Why isn't this one on spotify :(
Is there an instrumental backing track for this wonderful, wonderful song? We want to sing this next Christmas!
Every time I hear this song I always think they're about to say "Christmas! Was better in the '80s! Better in the '90s!" despite the fact I know that's not the right lyrics.
Fantastic :D
Christmas was always better when you were a kid. Kids today will wax lyrical about the tens,the next generation will about the twenties,etc...
I still hate Christmas but this is a great song.
My Christmases certainly weren't better in the 80s. Now the 70s was a different matter...
So true.
@shagchow the current snow is the heaviest and most prolonged snowfall in living memory - last time we had this much snow was the 40s or there abouts.
I too thought it was the Toy Dolls (except that they're old gits like me and it would have been 'Christmas was better in the 60s' :)
いろいろと美しすぎる！！
Yeah!!
listening rn 12/01/'21
It sounds like something that Olga and co would do a la "Deidre Is A Slag."
1:19 Was this an homage to Depeche Mode's "Shake the Disease" video??? Thanks guys, my new favorite Christmas song.
I was there, it's true, it was
Gavin brought me here
@recklessprincess they were all bairns in the 80's, so they'll remember them! They've only got a couple of years on me mind!
hi, pls someone put this on the spotify!!!
It’s on Spotify, has been for years 🤷♂️
@@ms23645 yeah i've seen it but i can't play it, maybe it's not available in my country..
This and HMHB's it's cliched to be cynical are the best XMas songs. So beautifully nostalgic.
alot of this is filmed in hartlepool
Darn right!
🙌🏻🎄👾❤️
me too :)

that's a pity now the futureheads is over :(
Listen to Hyde and Beast instead
It really was better in the 80s
Why not on Spotify
@shagchow
Amen! I don't mean to complain about this day and age, but life seemed easier in the 20th century. Things seemed a bit more enjoyable.
the best part is the end lol
Filmed in Pools!
wow it's christmas rock on.
Christmas was better in the A-Team?
Alright, who's the Scrooge who hit the dislike button?
Well ked
i also got told off for tresspassing at steetley hahaha
This is very very true. Today everybody has a bloody mobile phone, which consumes them totally, not giving a damn to the people around them.
Mowbray park :D 1:47
La zona cero?
My Teacher Is In This Band
Yes it was, living under a rock in the 80's?
Like si la escuchaste en el vídeo de especiales de navidad por Chuchu Calderón e la zona cero y te gusto
Christmas was better in the 90s
@recklessprincess they were kids then... hence why christmas was better I think
everything was better dude
Yep. 80s were better!
I got a Commodore 64... I got a BMX....
Well i wouldn't know, i kinda wasn't alive back then
It was better in the 70's!..(listening on the hottest day of the year).
DAVID IS MY TEACHER
I'm guessing most of them aren't really old enough to remember the 80's very well? I guess that's the point...
OMG this record is dire beyond belief
That's just my opinion but I think that Futurehead's song is much better than Coldplay's.
c***play? hehe the clunts
It was better in the 70's.!
Graeme Mockler is a shockingly horrible name.
Everything was shit in the 70's
Meh
Shockingly bad song. Never heard it til I started a new job and they have it playing all the time.
This song sucks after 3:21
Terrible
"Snow was deeper"... No it wasn't! I can remember perhaps ONE, maybe two tops, snowy Christmases in the 80s. I got a bike on one at it was a pretty major pain actually.
Nevertheless, one of the very few good Christmas songs.
