Way back in 1999 a band called Viva Voce did a brilliant re-invention of this much loved carol for a Tooth & Nail compilation. Now, 15 years on, our favourite crunk rockers have taken the yuletide song (which incidentally, was quoted by Charles Dickens in his immortal A Christmas Carol story) and given it a fresh rock dancefloor groove. The vocal hook "oh, oh, good tidings" makes this single the most infuriatingly catchy seasonal song you'll hear this year.
