Can you even *imagine* him singing that? Errr.... considering the rollercoaster that is Numans career.... yes. If Bowie can do Little Drummer Boy with Bing, or stuff an orange down his tights wear a Tina Turner wig and sing with Henson puppets, or put his name against anything that he's released since 1983.... yes. In fact.. considering the accusations on AFENET.com over the last week..... we can expect him to be on the Litle & Large Christmas Special MIMING Little Donkey with Janet Krankie.

I've often thought that Gary and Bing could have made a great Christmas album together. Possible songs could include: 1. I'm dreaming of a white noise christmas 2. Joy circut to the world 3. Elves like me I'm sure there are more. I don't know............I'd buy it!!!

It's interesting that all three tracks mentioned where played back-to-back on the Dream Corrosion tour, mentioned previously. The one that I was waiting for though was 'Bombers' I had been shouting for that one at concerts since 1983, but he never played it until '93 :-( Does anyone else have a favourite track that got played more recently. And are there any tracks that he hasn't that you are still waiting for. I am sure that this one has been discussed many times before but it is always interesting to see the distribution of eras requested.
