Despite my love of all things girl group-related, and a perverse affection for the white bread pop music of the 1940s and '50s, I've not completely embraced the Bandana Splits. Why the reluctance? For one thing, I hate their punning band name.* And the concept isn't quite working for me either. What, exactly, are they offering that hasn't been done better by the Pipettes and/or the Puppini Sisters?
Well, here's something they've done quite nicely: updating Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time." I've never been a big fan of the original, though with the passing of years I've softened a wee bit. The ladies had the good sense to ditch the annoying synthesizer that dates McCartney's version, and abbreviate the song significantly, so its scant charms don't wear thin. If you enjoy the video below, you can download the track here for a short time.
* Besides, Bananarama already nicked their moniker from the Banana Splits, and they're the zenith of modern girl groups, so as far as I'm concerned, the topic has been exhausted.
