You Can Do It With A Sailor from Peru to Venezuela

What's not to like about Alma Cogan's 1954 hit - 'You Must Never Do a Tango With An Eskimo'? It's festive, but not overplayed; there's cheesy horn section blowing whilst party girl Alma trips around witty lyrics, sounding as merry as gran tippling a Snowball, and what's more you can swing about to it under the mistletoe.
As for taking a turn with the Eskimo, who could resist?

How tremendously jolly! Now we could start a groundswell of Christmas music nobody is sick of...a slab of Glinka anyone? It's got to be better than the Pet Shop Boys' new Christmas song, which achieves the impossible of being even worse than Bob Dylan's...
