Love, Actually and Christmas Is All Around (That "Festering Turd of a Record")
Father Christmas and his elves want you to buy his festering turd of a record.
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
It's written in the wind 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
You gave your presents to me 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
'Cause on Christmas 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 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... ....
