Hi Tom 🙂 I absolutely love how you did your own version here. Thank You for sharing and making us smile and now I'm sharing this with family and friends.
Just discovered this today when I was putting together a Christmas playlist for me best friend Charlie and I to sing and perform in our school Christmas concert this year. She loved the 12 days of quarantine song so I let her listen to this and she laughed harder than at the other song. Thank you so much for cheering me and Charlie up we've had such a rough year 💖
Big shout out to the NHS bus drivers clearers shop worker that worked though and van driver. Carers love you all. I did nursing for 13 years before I had my children respect to you guys all of you amazing angels xx love the little runner Kate from Cheltenham
So you think rewording a great song with shoe horned lyrics that promote fear and telling people not to hug their mums will gain you views, disgusting.You'll be pleased to know I cant wrap my arms around my mum as she was put on end of life care in a carehome without even being tested and dnr signed all without consent and so she died alone.This is what is being done behind the propaganda to protect our elderly.You should be ashamed of yourself mate.Sit back and listen to the lyrics you've put out again when you've grown up :'(
Hi Colette. Really sorry to hear about your mum, and not being able to hug her. I have similar circumstances on my family but won't go into personal details on a TH-cam comment feed. Unfortunately, there are quite a few assumptions and inaccuracies in your comment. Firstly, the song was never intended to attract viewers at the expense of anyone else. Quite to the contrary, this light parody was written as a fundraiser for a local foodbank charity which we released through Facebook, I then put it here more for storage than anything else (you'll notice this channel isn't large enough to make anything from ad spend or anything). Secondly, there is nowhere in the song where I'm unduly promoting fear. If anything, I'm begging the general public to be safe over Christmas. I wrote this on December 2nd and we'd only recently heard the government proposals for Christmas - it seemed ludicrous to jump from a lockdown into 5 days of mixing. All scientists and politicians have now turned round and said exactly what I say in Verse 1 of this video. Keep mixing to a minimum, with minimal physical contact. I've spent the last 10 months, amongst other things for my local community, putting entertainment packages together for care homes on a weekly basis - literally hundreds of compilation videos of local young people singing classics. Trying to improve the life of care home residents during this dreadful time when care home visits were at first impossible, and later scarce. I even did personalised videos for those who turned 100 during this time but were unable to celebrate with family due to Covid. So you've understood the reason for including the lyric about mums. It's clearly a poignant one for both of us, and you'll notice that when I carefully "shoehorn" those lyrics, I've structured them in such a way that the song begins with the facts, with sentiment, and poignancy about those we've lost and for those who've lost jobs or been furloughed, followed by tributes to our NHS and Rashford, only allowing the song to descend into the true meaning of a parody in the final section. I've listened and watched through again and there's nothing disgusting or to be ashamed of here. Just references that we can all relate to, after what has been a monumental year for us all. To some degree I can understand how, to someone grieving, it might be more difficult to hear; but then again to others grieving it has provided welcome light relief and a smile. So I guess that's subjective. I always take criticism on board, but as a "grown up" I don't think it's fair to be rude to one another when offering feedback. I always try to see from the other side, but this time I think you've got this one wrong. Though I appreciate your feelings are valid. Wishing you all the best, I hope you can find some joy and humour in what is currently a very dark world, and again, sorry to hear of your loss.
@@TomPowellMusic Well eloquently said. I enjoyed the song, no way did I find any aspects of your lyrics offensive or insensitive. The person didn’t listened or read the words.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Bah humbug mate, bah humbug. I lost my grandad but that hasn't put me off it.
