Is there a video for Ghosts Of Christmas?
Playing this excellent Christmas song that band released for free about 7/8 years ago as my girlfriend and I are celebrating our Christmas Day today (long story) but was wondering if the band ever did a video for it? I wish this song was released on a wider scale, it should be heard by more people at this time of year!!!

A shameful moment many of us would rather forget.

Graciously, no.

As opposed to the majority of Send Away The Tigers the same year?

It's not a bad song to be honest. I wish they'd do one every year like the Killers but y'know, good.

I think it's just good fun.

As for a video, no, #we just used our imagination, of course

It's a ridiculous song, at least they sneak in a bit of anti-royalist sentiment half way through.

wow, The Ghost of Christmas was a fair last song of 2007 year full of other tragic attempts like Autumnsong, Imperial Bodybags, Winterlovers (!) and so on.

if you are missing a video, I would suggest using the alternative video for Autumnsong - the one with the two endlessly anti-attractive girls moving their asses the whole time without any concept. It was probably also meant to be funny and also failed horribly.

I dunno, I did find that video funny, of the two girls in Autumn Song.

Also, Ghosts of Christmas is not such a bad song. Not my Manics' favourite, but kinda better than the cover of Last Christmas, just because that is a song heard a bit too often.

And yeah, I got nothing against Tigers either. It feels actually very nice, depending on my mood. I like all of their albums.

Been a feature of my Christmases ever since it was released. I like it a lot.

It gives good Christmas and was meant as a stereotypical, nostalgic Christmas song - a quick bit of seasonal fun as Porco pointed out. It's not meant to be a deep and meaningful masterpiece.

Me and my girlfriend are having our 'fake Christmas' as we call it, as we'll be part at actual Christmas as I'm up north and she down south with her family. So we're cooking our big Christmas dinner right now, while listening to this song right now. Love it. Can't believe it's 9 years since it came out. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.

Nice reminder for me to put it on (yet again).
