...but like all the best Christmas songs it only got to number 2 in the yuletide countdown.
It is a cover version of a song performed by the less famous half of the Isley brothers, post 1984 schism. Watch the video here (Sony BMG won't allow embedding for reasons that can only be described as stupid).
The Housemartins version is interesting for a number of reasons, not least that it was done entirely acapella. Although it was number 2 at Christmas, it had reached number one the week before, and off the top of my head I can't think of any acapella songs to hit the top since then.
