'80s Holiday Cheer

Here's some '80s holiday music memories.


Band Aid, "Do They Know Its Christmas":A multi-musician effort to raise funds for African famine relief made up of some of the most well-known '80s musical acts.
(Note: I initially mistakenly placed above a video for a subsequent version of "Do They Know Its Christmas" which was not the original '80s version.  I have corrected this, and now the original 1984 version of this song is posted above.)

The Pointer Sisters, "Santa Claus is Coming To Town"


Wham, "Last Christmas":One of the most "stylistically 80's" Christmas songs



Eurythmics' "Winter Wonderland"



Billy Squire, "Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You"


John Cougar Mellencamp, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"
