Mike Oldfield "In Dulci Jubilo"

An alternative video for Mike's Christmas classic, interpreted and perfromed by TOTP's regular dancers Pan's People

[@updistant]

Never realised how good they were back in the 1970's. Here's hoping that each one of those sweet ladies has had as much joy in their lives as they brought us.

[@haeleth7218]

In Dulci Jubilo and Pan's People - you couldn't get a better combination.

[@BedsitBob]

Agreed.

[@jamesturner1037]

Couldn’t agree more

[@Roggs939]

This is pure talent! To think Mike played almost every instrument on this recording is mind blowing. Amazing song. Mike Oldfield you’re a legend

[@nickcopeland6915]

Actually, I read somewhere that someone else played the drum.

[@BedsitBob]

@@nickcopeland6915 Roggs939 did say *almost* every instrument.

[@inverross9019]

Mike just did keyboard and guitars.. all be it fabulously - plus produced. What we call a Mike Oldfield record is a combination effort.

I'm sure that the invisible pixies who dance in my magic garden look something like this. Very charming, simply delightful.

Mike 0ldfield is a wonderful instrumentalist he can play several instruments simultaneously pure class. I cannot play any instruments at all but he's a genius.

Thank you for posting. From a time when life was so much simpler.

[@Zephaniah3verse17]

I remember watching this on TOTP on 1 January 1976, enjoying the routine and believing that the new year would be much better than 1975. And indeed it was!

[@angelacooper2661]

I would have been just five and attending infant school a few months. Theme tune is in C major with a lilting time signature of 6/8 (has extra notes and a slightly different rhythm to the original). I am 53 in June!

[@erlock21]

they do look like angels dancing ...couldnt get more apt for the song

The choreography is amazing.I wonder how many hours Pans People and Legs and Co put into getting these dance routines right.

Certainly for me - I was just five and infant school at the time of this footage. Too young to understand or remember that period!

[@hedgemist691]

Oh no! It's Pan's People...For anyone who wasn't around in the 70s in the UK...you don't understand!

[@silveryote1]

What's wrong with them?

[@wiganrugby]

Who became Legs and co

[@hedgemist691]

Just joking Silver - they were okay in the 70s - looking at it from today's perspective though, watching them makes me cringe for quite a few reasons, especially when I read some of the comments on here from some men.

[@angelacooper2661]

I was around in the 70s in the UK, but not old enough to understand or remember that period. Born 1970 - so heard of this second hand. In Dulci Jubilo I encountered some years later, with the time signature of 6/8 and key of C major. The rhythm is slightly different and there are extra notes than the original.

[@kieranmurray750]

Lovely.

Christmas of 75. The Christmas No 1 of that year was Bohemian Rhapsody Queen. I remember listening to a Radio One interview with Freddy Mercury in Oct and he said the song would either be massive or sink without a trace. ( Boh Rhapsody not Mike O)

i found this from the avgn one level theme called "blizzard of balls" it has a melody that sounds like this one and has "in dulci jublio" in the title, i have no idea why but its a cool fun fact

I swear Grant Kirkhope used this music as inspiration for Jolly Roger's Lagoon in Banjo-Tooie This was also used in the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.
