Share a song that sounds like your favorite childhood memory.

Since it's almost Christmas, I'm sharing a song that was an annual fixture during my childhood in the 1980s. It was so ubiquitous at the time that it supplanted traditional Christmas songs. For me, it brings back memories of bitter cold winters, snorkel parkas and flares, sledging in the park, and Only Fools and Horses.
