Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody (Official Top Of The Pops Video)

[@rosemarymccarron3887]

I have been listening to this song for the last 50 years and I never tire of it . What a wonderful Christmas song.

[@barryscott230]

Same here always love it

[@caroletownsend8900]

The best EVER!!!

[@ivandickson6063]

It's a Christmas anthem for me and all the 70s 80s Christmas songs too.

[@Lambia-br8mh]

Back again to get my dose of Christmas from this song. I still admire what Slade was able to create at a time, when the society just perceived them as wild boys with bad English

[@BertSmithLondon]

This song deserves so many more views. it did have over 20 million, but then the copyright holders had those videos taken down. Never mind, view the crap out of this one, play it in another tab even if you aren't listening to it or watching it.

[@claus-wernergotte4644]

The best Christmas song ever. Slade is absolutely fantastic. Noddy, Dave, Jim and Don thank you for this great song. Christmas begins for me every year with the Slade Alive Album and Merry Xmas everybody.

[@popatyourecords]

This and Wizard 2 best ever

[@davidmellish3295]

​@@popatyourecords Fairytale of New York is up there as well

[@super_random_stuff]

I agree

[@ajjy1110]

worst it just plods on and on and on

[@MrJeepsters]

Est-ce une chanson de SLADE où un traditionnel anglais ?

[@richardhack9830]

This record cannot be ignored when celebrating Christmas. For over 50 years I've been listening to it. Thanks a lot Slade

[@en53kff]

Anyone who was lucky enough (and now old enough) to have seen Slade in concert, will tell you what a fantastic time they had. It was always loud, it was always fun and they always made sure everyone left having had a good time. Unlike some artists of the day, they didn’t take themselves too seriously, and Noddy with that raw voice, I swear he used to swallow razor blades before each performance. 😁 Slade had so many hits - besides Merry Christmas, and well worth having a listen to some of their many songs, not just the hits, on a music app. Great rockers and powerful ballads too. Very underrated UK band. Long live Slade. 👍🏻

[@marianpower6711]

They made the Apollo in Glasgow vibrate,you could Feel the noise,😂😂😂😂

[@alanwhitney3263]

Lucky to see them 12 times from 73 to 82, first time the day Noize went in at #1 was mayhem! Success through to playing clubs 78-9 then the revival after Reading

[@en53kff]

@@terrymurphy2032 I remember it well. 👍🏻

[@en53kff]

@@alanwhitney3263 Hi Alan. We must consider ourselves very lucky to have witnessed it. Many these days wish they had. Personally I saw them over 50 times during the same period. (not boasting) I recently found 20 tickets stubs in my Slade stuff (20 that didn’t get lost or destroyed) and have fond memories of the ‘nightclub years’ when you could easily meet or get backstage with them. Of course after Reading things were scaled up again. Did you see the video I posted of Jim at Bilston in 2017. Here’s a link: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/hae0oWxqg8SIsLM All the best. 👍🏻

Noddy, bless 'im. What a great band they were, glad to hear he has recovered from his illness and doing fine!

[@macca8562]

Being Black Country born and bred, i saw Slade quite a few times and they were by far the best live band i ever saw, and in Noddy they had the best voice in rock ever, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY.

Brings me back , You don't get songs like this anymore. Heart of Christmas 🎄 slade ...🎅

[@anthonyharney2495]

Probably the best Christmas pop song of all time, the lyrics are superb.

[@MrMoggyman]

Christmas starts with this song. Iconic, unforgettable, and totally timeless. Noddy, Dave, Jim, and Don thank you for this classic. 50 years on it is still such a magnificent Christmas song.

[@lilasphotosandvideos43]

Still the best Christmas song! I've been a fan of yours since the beginning ! 👏👏👏

[@raygeorge7715]

Slade were the best group in the seventies and noddy voice was incredible nobody better

Saw Slade last week in Cardiff.. not quite the same but still excellent. Dave Hill still rocking..

[@Ragdollcatman001]

This and Wizzard's I wish it could be christmas = the two best Christmas songs

[@Chig66]

It was 50 years ago today (Sunday 9 December 1973) that this entered the UK chart at #1. Happy anniversary! The song is also back in the UK chart, at #39 as of yesterday.

[@ИгорьМитюрев-ц5п]

Still the song that announces Christmas is on its way to me after 50 years. I can remember it being on the radio and the Juke boxes in the pubs every christmas

It`s only christmas when Noddy yell`s it`s christmas.

[@goldamadine6112]

[@damostickly4004]

Slade is so underrated, bloody great band

[@JohnnyKnackertache.]

No, Not underestimated by me, And that's the most important thing.

[@paulph12002]

@@damostickly4004 They are certainly not underrated, nobody was bigger in the early to mid 70s than Slade. They had six no 1 singles in that time, more than anyone else.

[@johnprice-c2l]

This sound put Christmas on the map forever ! Fantastic !

[@randydixon7118]

When I was stationed in the Netherlands, I bought every Slade album I could find. I love their music

[@insulani]

Always my fave Christmas song. This is just a perfect song for having a good time and party. Noddy’s scream is the only proper way to announce Christmas.

[@markcf83]

Agreed. It's only Christmas when Noddy says it is.....

[@elainewalker6957]

[@DeanoEssex]

The best rock band the UK has EVER produced. People might say Queen was but i beg to differ 🙂 Slade are the best....

[@alanwhitney3263]

Queen were big Slade fans/mates of Slade, Freddie credits Nod for his dayo chanting

[@macca8562]

I saw both both bands in 1974, me and my mates walked out of the Queen concert they were dire, Slade were the greatest live band i ever saw by miles.

[@butters395]

SWEET !

[@kaylee458]

I'm sure Noddy holder mom lived on the beechdale estate he's great though unique voice

[@mrnoskin3325]

Rolling Stones

[@robertketteringham3657]

One of the best Christmas songs dos anyone agree with me

[@robertjames6640]

Perhaps the best Christmas song performed by a group equally as good as the Beatles. Noddy has a belter of a voice. I saw a show once where he said it took little time to write this song and he never dreamed it would still hit a high all these years later.

[@TimBadger-w7d]

When you first hear this you know Christmas is on the way.

[@nigelbird4903]

It will be a Christmas hit in another 50 years

[@Jimmy-n7p2b]

Slade 4 ever

[@johnnyslc]

This is Christmas song made on Slades terms. Amazing

[@kennethdrewary1094]

50 years ago, and I remember it was number 1 til the end of January

[@Chig66]

For 5 weeks, until Sunday 13 January 1974. More the middle of January than the end…

[@ДмитрийБочаров-ш7и]

Супер фантастика столько лет сколько зим и ничего не стареет ни один аккорд!

Noddy's voice is indelible in my head👍Brings back some fantastic memories❤

[@drytoast1]

There is three inalienable truths in the world, 1) threes nothing more certain than death and taxes, 2) the speed of light is the universal constant. 3) it's not Christmas until you hear Noddy belt out this banger.

[@Ryan_the_Caffeinated]

The greatest Christmas song-period.

[@frankl34798]

still one of the best christmas songs EVER. i always keep a comin' back to this song, love watching this again and again and again after all these years. merry christmas to all, remembering and celebrating the birth of one of the most beautiful people who have walked on this planet ... so far. may the good god above, below, beyond and within us all bless you all with love, peace, joy and hope. thanks for posting, xxxxxxx

I was always fascinated by the 'behind the scenes' on Top Of The Pops. Those big grey cameras and chunky wires everywhere. The ultimate Christmas song.

[@shereemcclelland2186]

Saw them in Melbourne at Showgrounds Feb 4 th, 1973, happiest 15 year old at the concert, couldn’t keep my eyes off my silver god, Dave Hill, god he was so cute. The best performance of my life, my opinion. Long live Slade,never ever forget them🇦🇺😘 3:28

[@PurpleUnicorn212]

I was at that concert, a young 12 year old who tagged along with my older brother . Absolutely love Slade, still listen to their albums I have on vinyl. This song never gets old. It's not Christmas till Noddy says so.

[@philchadwick1428]

I was there too, I was the happiest 14 year old there, they absolutety blew me away, and again at festival Hall in 1974

[@shereemcclelland2186]

Us here in Australia loved Slade, Don Powell in his book Look What I Dun, said the band never realised how big they were until they arrived. We had a very special connection to this Glam Rock gods called Slade. Noddy, Dave, Don and Jim, thankyou for your music, you blokes were and are legends.👍🇦🇺

"Look to the future, it's only just begun". If people could have seen the future they'd have voted to remain in 1973. Best Christmas song of all time.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

You got that right

[@robertdurn2320]

A number of years ago some of the students on the T.V. production course in the college that I taught at was asked to make a short video featuring a 'famous' person. One student would act out the talent and the others would make the production. Unbeknown to the staff one of the students was related to Noddy. Apparently he just turned up and was great!
