The comments complaining about the smiley women... oh, lighten up, please! It's just a song, and it's lovely seeing people smiling in an otherwise dull world! Cheer up, complainers!
Xmas tunes. Not a fan of them but this tune resonates throughout the decades. One on the festive playlist...time to dust it off for the festive season once more...they don't make 'em like this anymore.
Song gets me emotional thinking of all the soldiers freezing & suffering in the trenches of ww1 for 4 years missing Christmas & other events taking place back home away from friends and family.
Great Track Love That Song And Senary Well Done ✅ Love It Keep Up The Great Work Sounds Fantastic Even Today 💕 Thank you So much For This Track Sounds Fantastic
Good, lively video of this song. The song was one of my favourites back then. They were saying in German for instance that it's an anti-war song, and the reference to Christmas makes it more of a Christmas song.
If I remember correctly, this song he recorded in September of 1980 and he had little hopes for it. It was never written as a Christmas song, so this came as a surprise to him. What he did not expect was for it to peak at number 3 in the charts of Christmas week in that year. Jona went on to say, some years later, that the song would help support in in his pension years thinking ahead to whatever amount the royalties would earn him from the song.
Yes, many times; he is a brilliant performer; he even does it by accompanying himself on accordion; he is a great keyboard player; I have got all his CDs, they are very "quirky" but good; ua-cam.com/video/68ECC-hp3-8/v-deo.html
What a odd stage production. I mean I know the performance was mimed, but what was with those dancers and the male dancers were just wearing casual hoodies, like you would in the street?
I thought the dancers were pretty cool...it's all about fun at Christmas...it's better than going to war with each other....I'm a englishmen...love you Germany Xxxxx
Steve20127 what does piss me off is when people stick on any old camouflage and say their soldiers. there is reason behind certain camouflage. to distort your shape and make yourself harder to see.
Oh no mate dont march...lol....I like this old song...and the old vid...this is embarrassing. When pple get past 50 they lose totally all coolness...groan.;D

I think she was the star of this video. Without the smiley woman it would just have been another studio performance.
She looks like she’s on coke.
Great song in nightmarish performance... dancers, playback...

Ich finde dieses Lied einfach nur Hammer.
Great job of miming 😂

Anti nuclear war song.
Fantastic!!!
Love it, amazing.😀😀❤❤💋👄thank you.❤
Greetings from Uzbekistan 💕😍🇺🇿
1981 god i feal old
I love this song, pity it's obviously mimed, I'd love to see a live version of this.
He doesn't sing live, he rarely does and if you ever saw him live you would understand why 😂
@@steveholmes3471 Whenever you see any of the live performances, they seem to be mimed
@@steveholmes3471 here's a live version .. now you can see why he mimes 😄
ua-cam.com/video/Rd1qhnN4rjA/v-deo.html
@@steveholmes3471 Bit harsh, he's pretty good and amazingly talented guy!
Brilliant Song....love the lady dancers,they a bit of alright....time to take out the Christmas Log
Hasn't anybody noticed how well he's aged?
Michael David

Spoke too soon
British and the Germans together again but not fighting this time...this I so cool...happy Christmas Germany Xxxxxxx

Thank you for taking the time to bore yourself, which should tell you something about yourself ... LOL ;-)
+Franklyn F I take it you've never had a woman?
+kimmy 36d Ignorance is presumably bliss to you. I expect you find getting drunk exciting. I found Franklyn's comment informative and interesting.
+Krystyna Boswell why don't you hook up with him then, you'd both make an interesting couple.
kimmy 36d Yawn
Classic!
Merry Christmas..!
That song. Makes me. Ray so much
Fabulous!
Nicely MIMED Jona ..
the first time i heard for me ;it wasPATS!!-RIP./Jona./
Magnifique quand meme
Loved this song. Always
At least he managed to find a pair of trousers this time. ( ref. BBC Top Of The Pops)
Great Christmas Song! 🎅
would have been better if he wasn't miming
I agree. Why bothering turning up at all if only to mime?
@@DoctorBrodski Maybe you haven't watch music shows for the last few decades. It's called exposure....
@kevin Carter Or maybe I only watch ones where people can be bothered singing for real
@@DoctorBrodski Lol. ok...
It probably wouldn't have. That's probably why he mimed.
1:37 when marching if halt is called you would stamp your right foot and stop not keep on marching...
you can tell he is pissed off lol
Has anyone found a video of him where he isn't miming? I'm struggling to find one 🤣
There is one somewhere with him playing the concertina singing See Side Shuffle.
@@jahno7154 I managed to find one in the end where he keeps forgetting his lyrics, is that the one?
@@NIOAdmirer UUUUURRMMMM I'll have to have look
Never. I am starting to suspect Milli Vanilli sang the original that went to master. 😂

From the good ole days of lip-syncing... 🙂
HAHAHAHA WHY ARE THEY PRETENDING TO BE HORSES?!?! THIS IS A DANCE?!?! What the hell hahahaha amazing
Look who loves herself 0:20 who is this beauty ? Classic song
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you a lot!!!
well that was different. Sleep tight Jona.
merry christmas🎅
It was released in 1980.
¡QUÉ BONITOOO!! 🙌🙌🙌
Jona Lewie receives £120,000 per year royalties for this record.
Good
christ, im in the wrong job!
A not-so-serious version of I'll Be Home For Christmas
That's what I think now that I know what that song's really about.
Ace of base !
He looks great considering this was about 30 years after the original and he looks the same in 2009
jona's still alive if anyone was under the impression he is dead now
Germany apologises for this awful show... I love this song so much
He is learning....
I keep looking for this live, I’m always finding fakes.
Yessss....call to Xmas arms
Has he actually ever sang this live!?
Yes, many times; he is a brilliant performer; he even does it by accompanying himself on accordion; he is a great keyboard player; I have got all his CDs, they are very "quirky" but good; ua-cam.com/video/68ECC-hp3-8/v-deo.html
I was just wondering the same thing 😂
🔥🔥🔥
possibly the best christmas song. most of the others are cheese....
song and music is good
With those bird's all around Him,It's little wonder..!
We don’t use “ birds for female moniker any more...
Those girls look like hotties in those uniforms. I also thought that they looked cute when trying to salute in a comical way.
something ironic in this smiley happy -gloss over the lyrics performance on German TV....
that is what my kids say about me
However i can assure you i am still cool
These German TV specials have too be seen, to be belived.
Toppie
I'm locked , my wife said go to bed, I'm not 😎
What a odd stage production. I mean I know the performance was mimed, but what was with those dancers and the male dancers were just wearing casual hoodies, like you would in the street?
I thought the dancers were pretty cool...it's all about fun at Christmas...it's better than going to war with each other....I'm a englishmen...love you Germany Xxxxx
an englishmen name Ann try again.fake account.love from Germany
Wow
Bloody good argument to bring back national service , LOL
It is terrible, but its very Euro and I think they like it that way. And yes, great song.
jack newman Euro?!? It is very German you mean
german = euro
d00mer 34 German is euro but Europe is not one country and one culture
Gaddaffi
What is the point of those crappy "dancers"?
Oh shut up you tart.
They are for the snipers to take out !
Steve20127 what does piss me off is when people stick on any old camouflage and say their soldiers. there is reason behind certain camouflage. to distort your shape and make yourself harder to see.
+William Hall I agree man half the time it's obvious it's fake
Always find him in the kitchen at parties 😉
👌👌👌
It's supposed to be a war song, but one of the stupid dancers is smiling and laughing throughout.
ha ha I love killing Nazis he ( laughs ass of ) I fucking love it
Who cares? She is fit!
fuck off
@@jakeburns7331 madlad😂😂
Did he ever sing live
👍🥴✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Read the words out loud, without singing them, and you will understand this is an anti-war song.
Ran across this song just now, can't not think about Ukraine hearing it.
Can't salute can't march
Oh no mate dont march...lol....I like this old song...and the old vid...this is embarrassing.
When pple get past 50 they lose totally all coolness...groan.;D
has he ever sung it live? its like he cant actually sing it
he looks fooked
The girls had all those clothes on that spoilt it.
😘😘😘
For another war song / Christmas song see my new single ua-cam.com/video/Uk_wXKUshRI/v-deo.html
Lipsync.
New topical Christmas song x ua-cam.com/video/jrPhQRel6FA/v-deo.html
Love the song but I think he has sucked the last blood out of this stone. My god I hate bad dubbed music dressed up as a live performance.
the dancers ruin it
this is an insult to all the brave men who died in both world wars.
Lovely lip sync...dumbing down a good song
Is there actually a true LIVE version anywhere? Not this lipsync nonsense
Dreadful, great song but watching his lips its obvious he’s miming
so much cringe here I can't even
