What makes this a genuine Christmas single?

1) It mentions Christmas
2) I used a tambourine that sort of sounds Christmassy.
3) I found the DONG DONG DONG noise you tend to hear on Cliff Richard Christmas Records, and deployed it mercilessly.

I rarely write songs about individual games, as clearly if you haven't played the game in question then the song will immediately be rendered irritating. Or more irritating than normal in terms of a doyouinverts song.

However, I've taken a punt on Gears of War 2, which seems to have sold a fair few copies. Originally I had a song written about Marcus Feenix trying to get a job in a Somerfield after the end of the Pendulum Wars, but the comedy was spread a little thin, so I appropriated the general theme of a COG soldier doing something rather odd and changed it to Dom visiting a dating agency.

A word of warning: I guess if you haven't played Gears of War 2 yet, the song could contain a few minor SPOILARZ.

I would also like to apologise for the title, which is clearly awful.

Happy Christmas and all that.

See you next year.

Was I on that? Difficult to tell.

now if only you'd ripped off that hallelujah song you could have cashed in on all the buzz there is about that - though having said that i'm not sure the DONG DONG DONG noise would have worked so well with that
