Encore: Simply Having a … Happy Xmas (War is Over)

We’re taking a break for the holiday season, so we pulled a fun and timely discussion from our back catalog. In this episode from December, 2018, we look at the two most famous—and most polarizing—holiday songs from the solo Beatles: Paul's "Wonderful Christmastime" and John's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)." Are these two songs as far apart from each other as they seem? Other songs/versions we reference in the episode: “Wonderful Christmastime” — Shins cover (2012) “Wonderful Christmastime” — Monkees cover (2018) Miley Cyrus, Mark Ronson ft. Sean Ono Lennon - "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" Official Performance (2018) “Listen, the Snow is Falling” (Plastic Ono Band, 1971) --------------------- +Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter/X for photos, videos, and more from this episode & past episodes — we’re @bcthebeatles everywhere.+Follow BC the Beatles on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you’re listening now.+Buy us a coffee! www.ko-fi.com/bcthebeatles+Contact us at [email protected]
