Encore: Simply Having a … Happy Xmas (War is Over)

We’re taking a break for the holiday season, so we pulled a fun
and timely discussion from our back catalog. In this episode from
December, 2018, we look at the two most famous—and most
polarizing—holiday songs from the solo Beatles: Paul's "Wonderful
Christmastime" and John's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)." Are these
two songs as far apart from each other as they seem?


Other songs/versions we reference in the episode:


“Wonderful Christmastime” — Shins cover (2012)

“Wonderful Christmastime” — Monkees cover (2018)

Miley Cyrus, Mark Ronson ft. Sean Ono Lennon - "Happy Xmas
(War is Over)" Official Performance (2018)

“Listen, the Snow is Falling” (Plastic Ono Band, 1971)
