Roy Wood was born in Kitts Green, Worcestershire, England, on November 8th, 1946, he was the co-founder of The Move, the Electric Light Orchestra, and Wizzard (see also best song 575 and 239,) as well as having a very successful solo career.

Like other songs recorded by Wizzard, this song is influenced by the sound, and production of Phil Spector, and the music he produced in the 1960’s, known as the ‘Wall Of Sound.’

The song has a very unusual intro, Wood has explained,’We hired a proper old fashioned metal cash register, with all the scroll work on the sides, and I pressed the buttons while Rick (Price, bassist,) dropped the coins in. It was exactly what I wanted.’The children’s choir used in the song were from Stockland Green School in Birmingham, Wood insisted that they had to be from his hometown.

‘When the snowman brings the snow, well he just like might to know, he’s put a great big smile on somebody’s face.’
