Day 9 - Good King Wenceslas - The Fab Four

It's been a few years since we heard from the Fabs and I think it's time they made another appearance. Latecomers to the Calendar might not be aware of their oeuvre but The Fabs are, in fact, a Californian based Beatles tribute band whose 'Hark!' album features twenty Christmas songs that sound exactly like existing Beatles tracks. 'Wenceslas' here is done in the style of 'Tell Me What You See' from Help! and is just masterful in its execution.   

Try singing the original track over this or, better still, play the Help! track and see how soon you're singing the Carol instead. Just wonderful!
