MICHAEL Buble and Miley Cyrus will headline a funky new playlist of songs set to blast out over the waterfront this Christmas.

While global superstars won’t be there in person, their pop-tactic versions of classic carols will be heard every eight minutes, with the songs programmed to co-ordinate with flashing lights on the floating Christmas tree.

Carols sung by Kylie Minogue, Chris Isaak, Mariah Carey and the Jackson 5 will also feature.

Miley? How apt! Cr Lyons has come in like a wrecking ball! Nothing funky about that playlist.

The Christmas tree playlist is a rather secular lot of songs - what about traditional carols that are about the Christian Christmas story?
