King Crimson purists, look away now: Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox have just mangled a Christmas carol

Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp in Christmas-themed attire .

To absolutely no one's surprise at all, it's all gone festive in the Worcestershire kitchen of Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox. It's December, so the pair have abandoned their usual Sunday Lunch programming – covering pop and rock classics – and instead delivered a spirited mangling of George Ratcliffe Woodward's 1924 Christmas banger Ding Dong Merrily On High.

Dressed in suitably festive attire – presumably after an enjoyable session on the ginger wine – Fripp sings with the word "Humbug" scrawled across his forehead, while both musicians appear to have lost a tooth. Despite their injuries, the performance is packed with more festive glitter than you'll find in any tinsel factory.
