Half Man Half Biscuit

This is one of my favorite odd Christmas songs: All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit. The band is Half Man Half Biscuit. Possibly incomprehensible to non-Brits (and not only because of the poor quality of this video), the title and the bulk of the song refer to Subbuteo, which was a table soccer game popular in the 70's and 80's. I assume that Scalextric made it over here though.

Again and again! I empathize with that dude's hair.

Really gets you into the Christmas spirit, doesn't it?

Man, I remember Subbuteo. Phil Collins song, right?

I got Subbuteo for Christmas one year, and very quickly got discouraged. It stayed in the closet for years ... Hey, just like Joe!
