The French song Il est né le divin enfant is my favorite Christmas carol, and for some reason this performance by Siouxsie and the Banshees, which I discovered on YouTube a couple of years ago, is my favorite version. The trumpets, the choral round, the triumphal tone --- love it.
I have to thank you for posting this--it was a couple of days before I got around to watching it. I love the rendition of the song, and also it's pretty hilarious to watch the background guys--the wobbly dude failing to play the cymbals is Robert Smith!
