Updated January 2023.
Back in 2016 I went a bit mad reviewing all the versions of Slade's 'Merry Christmas Everybody' that I could find on YouTube, then organised them into a playlist. If played on Christmas Day, the listener/viewer could have a feast of 134 versions of the same song!
As of January 2023 there are 178 videos in the playlist, the playlist has had 28,873 views.

One of my personal favourites was "Merry Xmas Everybody - Settle Style".
The homemade video is described as "A Christmas song from the Lord, Hayes and Bryant families". The added fun includes the granny that is up and rock and rolling with the rest.
Two years after it was published on 27 Dec 2013, when I found it on YouTube, it had just 241 views.
I thought it was brilliant and originally put it at number 2 on my playlist to hopefully get it more views. And I set about plugging it on various Slade forums. To date, it's had 9,727 views.
The other interesting and fun version is 'Merry Xmas Everybody (Slade in the style of The Wurzels)'. Published on 21 Dec 2014, it had had just 54 views when I first saw it, and to date has risen modestly to 1,471 views.
Are you hanging up your pitchfork on the wall?
It's the time when I can harvest bugger all...
