hi,
I remember a Kate Bush song from Christmas 1980/81 which was only around 30 seconds long and was called 'Happy Christmas'. I taped this from radio but I lost that tape and it is not 'December will be magic again'.
Does anybody know about the existence of this little tune ? It probably was only made for radio stations - kind of a christmas jingle. I heard it on a popular German radio station.
Can anybody help me ?
Best regards
Karl

That's a stumper for me, DC.  Perhaps someone else knows if it was maybe a onetime shot; but, I've not seen it listed as a performance in any of my experience. Welcome to the domain BTW.  |

thanks for your research... I had found this site too.. but I understood that this 'Happy Christmas' is an inscription on the vinyl. So it's not an actual song. Or did I get this wrong ? It's a shame I cannot find my tape anymore to prove that 'happy christmas' was a cute little song. Karl  |

Al', isn't that just an inscription, not a song? At www.norbry.net/kate-bush/mp3 there is a clip of a radio jingle which uses the beginning of 'DWBMA' - but apart from that, I can't help I'm afraid Welcome to the boards anyway!  |

I had assumed that this inscrition was a working or preliminary title. Perhaps an early version got airplay under that title, or even a snippet of it for a holiday promotion? |

Or she could have just written "Happy Christmas" on the cover because she meant it ;D And sorry DC, I posted 2 mins after you and hadn't seen your post  |

Hi Karl, Welcome! You could perhaps try and contact the radio station that broadcast "Happy Christmas" in 1980 - maybe they've got something about it in their archives?! Love, Susanne |

Just listened to the clip here www.dongrays.com/kate-bush/mp3/It's funny, just wish it was longer. I'm sure it'll what discomuc was talking about, short and a very cute little song  BTW, does anyone want to have a bash at the lyrics? I can only make out "opening his presents" ;D |
