A modern classic Christmas pop song. Saint Etienne try harder than everyone else at Christmas.There are songs that become festive classics and songs that set out to be festive classics. Saint Etienne's 'I Was Born On Christmas Day' is, of course, of the latter school, Messrs Stanley and Wiggs toiling, no doubt, over the task in the summer of 1993 when they'd rather have been out in the London sun.
Tim Burgess delivers a suitably simpering vocal, offsetting Sarah Cracknell's breezy, must-have-the-turkey-on-by-9am energy. It rocks church bells, melodica, Ace Of Base bass farts but no sleigh bells.
Pretty much perfection though.
