ASFM presents... ASFXMAS - submissions CLOSED! Festive avatar gala TONIGHT, 7pm

[ButterTart]

Well, fuck me up the manger! It's...

A SONG FOR CHRISTMAS!​

It comes around so quick, doesn't it?
@AGinAg (39) is busy scrubbing the soot out of his chimney in time for Father Christmas to empty his sack, so your incumbent winner has heroically stepped in to host this prestigious celebration of songs that aren't famous enough to get on a 'Now' Christmas album.
This year, you're welcome to take your pick from any of the following themes for your song:
- Christmas songs - if I need to define this, you're probably in the wrong thread.
- Winter Wonderland - songs about winter or songs with a wintery feel.
- Christmas party - DJ, play a non-denominational song. These MUST be bangers - don't be slipping me a Lana del Ray remix with a faint pulse and telling me it's a banger. If you're going for this theme, I want full tits out, daddy didn't love me, social services are involved pop/dance nonsense.
- Christmas number 1 - This can be from anywhere in the world, from any year, and the usual 'obscure or less well-known' guidelines apply. Be warned: if the lyrics contain any reference to sausage rolls you will be banned and stabbed.

Your avatar theme this year is high-end Christmas
This could be a classy, refined celebrity celebrating Christmas in a classy way, or maybe some tasteful festive decorations. Maybe you've seen some sophisticated Christmas recipe suggestions in a 1970s cookbook? Whatever you send, make sure it's dead classy*

Please send your submissions via DM in the following format:

I'm giving two weeks as I'd like to do the viewing gala(s) in the first week of December so we can reveal the winner a few days before Christmas, not on Good Friday like last year...

Fröhliche Weihnachten!

*I obviously want you to send tacky, gaudy, tasteless rubbish but I will happily accept avatars which play the theme straight.

Not sure I have a song for this though.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I've just noticed crumpled Garfield on the donkey

 

[OutSynk]

I have a song.

 

[ButterTart]

I have a song.

The 18 minutes between your posts were quite the rollercoaster

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Pantha du Prince - Es Schneit (It's Snowing)

I really played a blinder that year.

So far I have received SIX Cyndi Lauper Christmas songs, which is especially confusing since I've only had two submissions.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Who’s that guy who gets songs added to streaming? I need him to get two on for me within the next fortnight.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I have a question. Does the submission close at 23:59 on the 30th of November?

If so, I will be submitting a song without listening to it to keep me PURE and VIRGINAL until the correct month for festive cheer.

 

[jyxz]

@Kate to please publicly disclose when she has submitted please

@aquaplex

While he's at it, maybe he can get December Will Be Magic Again on Spotify for us.

It will close at 23:59 on 1st December, giving you 23 hours and 59 minutes of Yuletide cheer before the deadline.

If he can do that, he deserves a knighthood!

 

[ButterTart]

FIVE entries

I'll start tagging people in the next couple of days, so there's that to look forward to.

Maybe we could tempt some former stalwarts back from BEYOND THE GRAVE... @RS? @Indie? @Suomi?

 

[Marina Salty]

@Diddy @Alla @COB

 

[Kate]

@Kate to please publicly disclose when she has submitted please

So kind! I’ve been away for the weekend and just need to choose a suitably TRASHY CLASSY avatar which I'm sure will be in no way influenced by the fact I've just put this week's 70s-themed GBBO on.

 

[Kate]

SENT!

 

[ButterTart]

IT'S SNOWING! What better way to celebrate than to slip me something festive?

 

[jyxz]

SENT!

 

[ButterTart]

Well, baste my steaming puddings NINE entries in and this is shaping up to be quite the playlist.

 

[ButterTart]

Also, thoroughly enjoying the interpretations of the avatar theme. Some of you have absolutely zero taste or decorum and I wholeheartedly approve.

So I'm guessing it wasn't the same song after all?

 

[jyxz]

So I'm guessing it wasn't the same song after all?

My lips are sealed

 

[ButterTart]

Can confirm it was not. Or it was and I’m in my agent of chaos era.

 

[untilted]

I’m upset about how badly I did last time, and so untitled from 2013 is coming out

I’m having a STROP, dears!

I have evacuated the bouncy castle as a precautionary measure.

 

[ButterTart]

Jingle my glistening bell, we now have TWELVE (12) participants in this most Christly of contests.

Hoping for a few more this weekend; I expect there are Moopists across the globe hovering over Radio 2 in anticipation of Gregory Porter or Belinda Carlisle dropping a festive smash they can fling at me.

 

[Generic Account]

I'll have an entry in soon Butter.

Just have a certain album I need to dig through.
