Allow me to regale you with a delightful and clever rendition of a beloved Christmas song that is bound to have you in stitches. Jamie Quinn, the brilliant talent from the popular BBC series Two Doors Down, has put his own unique Scottish twist on the iconic Band Aid song, Do They Know It’s Christmas. And let me tell you, it’s an absolute riot!
Jamie, known for his role in the Scots band Penny Mob, shared a video online of his amusing version of the song, and it is truly a stroke of genius. Instead of sticking to the original lyrics, he ingeniously crafted new ones that reflect a Scottish Christmas – or as he fondly refers to it, his take on a Scottish Christmas.
The video kicks off with Jamie crooning, “It’s Scottish Christmas time. And all your family are round at your maws. It’s Scottish Christmas time everybody’s on best behaviour until they start tanning the sauce.” He captures the essence of a classic Scottish family Christmas with such clever wordplay and playful charm – it’s pure comedic gold.
But hold on, because it gets even better. He proceeds to alter the chorus, singing, “Scottish Christmas, when you realise all your fam are bams, oh Scottish Christmas. Deck the halls whilst binging alcohol.” Jamie’s witty wordplay and imaginative approach to the song is simply irresistible, and I can’t help but chuckle at his ingenuity.
Cheekily sharing the song on his Instagram, Jamie playfully declared, “Band Aid eat your heart out, Merry Xmas to you all!! Love J.” And the response from fans was overwhelming! One user hailed it as a “classic and a really good tune to the real deal.” Another fan exclaimed, “This is brilliant Jamie!” and yet another gushed, “Absolutely amazing haha. Merry Christmas Jamie.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve witnessed Jamie’s comedic brilliance. He recently graced our screens for the festive special of Two Doors Down, where he charmed viewers with his quick wit and infectious personality. One cast member even divulged that they endured a gruelling 12-hour shoot for the episode, which actually resulted in one of them falling ill. That’s true dedication to spreading joy and laughter, isn’t it?
Personally, Jamie’s Scottish Christmas take on the classic song has certainly brought merriment and laughter into my day. It’s creativity and a sprinkle of Scottish humour like this that truly encapsulates the spirit of the holiday season. Bravo, Jamie!
So there you have it, folks! A side-splitting and lighthearted take on a Christmas classic, delivered by the unparalleled Jamie Quinn. Wishing you all a very merry and cheerful Scottish Christmas! Let’s continue to spread laughter and joy throughout the holiday season. Cheers!
