Complete title: "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)".
In 2003, at the height of their novelty/popularity, The Darkness decided to go for the all-elusive UK Christmas Number One. Not only there were bells (lots of them) and warm feelings galore, there was also The Darkness' spaceship and the almighty Metal Mickey! And, of course, Justin Hawkins' world-famous high-end falsetto, here reaching truly castrati heights! Alas, even with all these irresistible ingredients, they had to settle for second, right behind the Donnie Darko-sponsored Gary Jules' and Michael Andrews' take on Tears For Fears' "Mad World".

I can't think of any Christmas songs from the past ten years that are better than this. Even then it's not wonderful and "Mad World" was miles better, but this was definitely the heir to Slade and Wizzard's thrones.
