Question
Please could you tell me if peace on Earth/ little drummer boy is on a singers backing track
or music with no words. My nephews who are 9 and 11 want to sing it at Christmas. The 9 years old is a David Bowie fan and often sings his tracks.

Answer
This song has only been released on rare compliations and so on, so I doubt that there is in fact a backing song.  The only thing I can think of is that you get some music software and try to edit out the voices or get the chords/sheet music and try to play it yourselves.  Chords are at OLGA and www.lovebolts.com, the best sites for Bowie music.  This is all the help I can give you I'm afraid, if this doesn't help you could ask at www.teenagewildlife.com on the messageboards or bowie wonderworld.
