SongWritten and produced by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, "Lonely This Christmas" was Mud's second number one single in the UK, spending four weeks at the top in December 1974 and January 1975.[1][2] It was the third number one single that year for the ChinniChap writing and production team, and was performed in the style of Elvis Presley's slower songs from his later career. PerformancesThe song is noted for a performance on Top of the Pops in which guitarist Rob Davis was covered in tinsel and wore Christmas baubles as earrings, while vocalist Les Gray sang to a ventriloquist's dummy. VersionsThe song has been covered by Lucky Soul, Miss Vincent, Blue, Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (as part of a fan club limited edition Xmas 7 inch), Little Man Tate, KT Tunstall, Los Campesinos!, and The Growlers. The song has been used as background music in North American Buick Lacrosse commercials. Despite several incorrectly-labelled videos on YouTube, Elvis Presley never recorded the song. Those videos tend to be the Mud or James Memphis King versions. Chart performance
