Love, Actually and Christmas Is All Around (That “Festering Turd of a Record”)
Read Time:2 Minute, 5 Second
Bill Nighy rocks. And in Love, Actually, he rocks even harder as a washed up, has-been rock star, an aging bad boy we can’t help but love.
Also, he’s one of those actors I’m certain can do no wrong. Hear that, Nighy? We’re all in agreement here: RunPee loves you. 🙂
Love, Actually is one of my absolute top Christmas movies; it gets a annual rewatch during the holidays, and yes, I still tear up at the denouement in the airport when everyone comes together. So many good feels!

In the teaser, Nighy’s character attempts to sing Christmas Is All Around…getting it wrong twice, then letting loose with a string of awesome British curses. I want to memorize that line and use it freely.
The scene and the song, for your Christmas viewing pleasure:
Here’s the lyrics for you as well, if you want to take this one out for a holiday caroling stroll.
Christmas Is All Around
As sang by Billy Mack (Bill Nighy)
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Christmas is all around me
And so the feeling grows
I feel it in my toes
Christmas is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It’s written in the wind
It’s everywhere I go
So if you really love Christmas
C’mon and let it snow
It’s everywhere I go
So if you really love Christmas
C’mon and let it snow
You know I love Christmas
I always will
My mind’s made up
The way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end
‘Cause on Christmas
You can depend
I always will
My mind’s made up
The way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end
‘Cause on Christmas
You can depend
You gave your presents to me
And I gave mine to you
I need Santa beside me
In everything I do
And I gave mine to you
I need Santa beside me
In everything I do
You know I love Christmas
I always will
My mind’s made up
The way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end
‘Cause on Christmas
You can depend
I always will
My mind’s made up
The way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end
‘Cause on Christmas
You can depend
‘Cause on Christmas
You can depend
You can depend
It’s written on the wind
It’s everywhere I go
So if you really love me
C’mon and let it show
It’s everywhere I go
So if you really love me
C’mon and let it show
C’mon and let it show
So if you really love
C’mon and let it
If you really love me
C’mon and let it
Now if you really love me
C’mon and let it show…
So if you really love
C’mon and let it
If you really love me
C’mon and let it
Now if you really love me
C’mon and let it show…

Just to make you like Bill Nighy even more…
He fits into roles that Alan Rickman couldn’t take; The Limehouse Golem was originally meant for Alan Rickman. He’s a better fit than Sean Bean who took the role he didn’t want in Goldeneye…
If you like Bill Nighy as a rock star, check out Still Crazy. It has the added bonus of Timothy Spall on drums!

Seriously, the amount of raw talent packed into Love Actually is astounding.
