Nineties Revisited: How to Make Gravy


Original video located here. Accessed 14th December 20189/span>

Song title: How to Make Gravy

Artist: Paul Kelly

Year: 1996

Why I like this song:

Still one of the greatest Christmas songs ever written. Having a song told through the perspective of guy in the slammer sounds like a bizarre idea but it works so well here. And I still get the shiver up my spine with the last stanza: "You know one of these days / I'll be making gravy / I'll be making plenty / Gonna pay them all back...."
