Mistletoe and Wine - Cliff Richard - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Mistletoe and Wine" has journeyed through television musicals (performed by Twiggy in 1986's The Little Match Girl) and drunk driving public information films (featured in the UK's Drinking And Driving Wrecks Lives campaign) but found its permanent home in the repertoire of Cliff Richard. The original song was penned by Jeremy Paul, Leslie Stewart, and Keith Strachan for the Scraps musical, an adaptation of the aforementioned The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. After being won over by "Mistletoe and Wine" in 1986, UK national treasure Cliff Richard decided to tweak the lyrics to create a song more grounded in religious sentiment ("Christmas time, mistletoe and wine / Children singing Christian rhyme"), one that would be perfect for the Christmas season. His plan paid off: "Mistletoe and Wine" was crowned UK number one during Christmas 1988 and became the best-selling UK single that year.
