Three Word Songs. From 1-2-3 to Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight. That's all folks.
In the third, and final, episode of a festive season that could in years to come be recalled with the same fondness as the BBC's yuletide ghost story adaptations of yester-year it's three word songs taking centre stage for the first night of 2014. Hear Bogshed cuddle up close to the Buffalo Springfield while Frank Zappa & The Ikettes share Peaches (En Regalia and 'n' Cream respectively). Other featured artists inclue Funkadelic, Bo Diddley, The Damned, James Brown & The Smiths. Three hours of three word songs.
