Terry Wogan Launches Bid For Christmas Number One With David Bowie Cover

Broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan is to release a new version of Bing Crosby and David Bowie's song Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth as a Christmas single.

Sir Terry's version, which features Aled Jones, will raise money for Children In Need.

"Aled Jones sings like the canary that he is,"  Sir Terry said. "But listeners may also detect my croaking in the background and wonder if it's a rumbling of the stomach."

The pair recorded the track, which Crosby and Bowie originally recorded in October 1977, at the Abbey Road studios in London.

Sir Terry, who fronts the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, had a hit in 1978 with Floral Dance, while Jones enjoyed Christmas success in 1985 with 'Walking In The Air'.
