I have in my collection some breathtakingly bad and offencive records.
But some of theme are genuinely offencive as well as bad. Made when political correctness was just an infant, it now seems unbelievable that they thought it possible to release as a record in the hope of having a hit.
I had a choice of posting 2 versions of white Christmas. One of them had British comedian Freddie Starr singing White Christmas with the voice of Adolph Hitler but instead i give you "White" comedian Jim Davidson singing "white" Christmas with the voice of a Jamaican Black man
Embarrassing isn't the word.
Embarrassing isn't the word.
And i apologise for this one already

Hiya,
I was one of the kids singing on that track, I was 8 at the time, we filmed it for the Jim Davidson Christmas Show.
Back then this song was not offensive at all, I dont think it was ever meant to be.
I must admit when I hear it back now, I can see the offensive side but the song was made 31 years ago.
Anyway thanks for putting it on, it brought a smile to my face.
Kate
