if carlsberg fed the world...

It was 1984 and Christmas was approaching. My memories of that time will always be played out to the soundtrack of this great tune. One of the greatest Christmas songs of all time.

Oh yes…

It can only be…

Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s The Power of Love of course. (Oh and that Band Aid single was also out at the time.)
