Yes, that's the one. I would really appreciate it if you could. Oh, I messed up with my description. Book of Love was on "Yulesville" with the song "We Three Kings". Torch Song (just found out) released "Hark" a cover of "Hark The Herald Angels Sing". I read that it came out only on a flexie disc. Would love this song too if anyone has it. I'm a huge William Orbit fan!!!

Send me an email and I will get you the Book of Love song.
I would love to hear "Hark" myself.

How come no one mentioned Do They Know Its Christmas? By BAND AID. That band composed of New Wave All Stars. Duran Duran, U2, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Ultravox, Bob Geldo, Boomtown Rats, Bananarama to name a few.

This track was mentioned in the first post in this thread, which is why no one probably felt the need to bring it up again.

Sorry ... I'm checking the message boards less frequently than I used to. I have "hark" on this CD:


Various Artists 'Just in Time For Christmas'
US CD (IRS X2 13052)
Torch Song "Hark" [2.24] (Traditional)

Credits: Produced by William Orbit
Year: 1990

(listing taken from http://www.torchsongonline.com/compilations.html)

Looks like it's way out of print (http://www.amazon.com/Just-Time-Christm ... F8&s=music), so, Merry Christmas to all. Here you go:

That's definitely the greatest new wave Christmas song, also the only Christmas tune I know with profanity. :/
Ramones - Merry Christmas is a good one too.

Hey, hey, a year later, and this Thread is still going strong.

I submit to you "A Kind Of Christmas Card" by Morten Harket. Not really about Christmas, but more about a Californian hooker. Also, by this point, Morten Harket (and a-ha in general) weren't that New Wavey anymore.

So why submit it? 'Cause its fan-effin'-tastic!

It's THRILLING! It's GLORIFICENT! It's the best thing to happen to the Internet since the New Wave Outpost! Click away and taste unbridled euphoria!
