Slade were an English glam rock band. Slade were one of the most recognizable acts of the glam rock movement and were, at their peak, the most commercially popular band in the UK. They are well known for the deliberate misspelling of their song titles and for the song "Merry Xmas Everybody" (released December 1973), now one of the most iconic Christmas pop songs in the United Kingdom.

Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall? It's the time that every Santa has a ball Does he ride a red nosed reindeer? Does he turn up on his sleigh? Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
So here it is, Merry Christmas, Everybody's having fun, Look to the future now It's only just begun.
Are you waiting for the family to arrive? Are you sure you've got the room to spare inside? Does your Granny always tell you That the old songs are the best, Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest...
So here it is, Merry Christmas, Everybody's having fun, Look to the future now It's only just begun.
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall? Are you hoping that the snow will to start to fall? Do you ride on down the hillside In a bobby you have made? When you land upon your head then you've been Slade.
So here it is, Merry Christmas, Everybody's having fun, Look to the future now It's only just begun. (x 4)
