Carol of the Bells- the instrumental one- Trans Siberian something or other?
Same Auld Lang Syne- Dan Fogelberg

[WildInTheWind]

O Holy Night by yes, I'm going to say it, Celine Dion. It KILLS me- never fails to choke me up.

Your post just reminded me of that SNL skit with Nora Dunn, Phil Hartman and Jan what's-her-name. When the ladies were the cheesy lounge singers and they did that medley, "I'm hearing bells, there go the bells, SO many bells, God stop the bells..." :lol:

I love Santa Baby too!

[Johnny Stew]

I like quite a few Christmas songs, of all varieties... traditional, novelty, contemporary... but my all-time favorite Christmas song, is "Little Drummer Boy."

[Karlie]

Merry Christmas, Darling -- The Carpenters


:nod: That's one of my favourites! I love The Carpenters.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

:nod: That's one of my favourites! I love The Carpenters.

I agree...that song is beautiful! Soooo many wonderful christmas memories with that song! :cool: :thumbsup:


Poor Karen. :distress:

[mikeschmike]

It doesn't get any better then LAST CHRISTMAS. "All I want for Christmas" by Mariah is a distant second, because WHAM! outshines them all.

[xdreamsunwindx]

Father Christmas by The Kinks. It doesn't get any better than that.

These are pretty cool, too.
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses
2000 Miles by The Pretenders
It's Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) by U2
Oi to the World by No Doubt (Gwen Stefani before she sold out)
Fairytale of New York by The Pogues
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by The Pretenders
Christmas All Over Again by Tom Petty & company
Merry Christmas (I Don't Wanna Fight) by The Ramones
Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John Lennon
Do They Know it's Christmas? by Band Aid (I was obsessed with this when I was a kid)
Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC
Merry Christmas Darling by The Carpenters

I hate Christmas, but I like some of the songs. Especially when they're a bit messed up. Ergo, Father Christmas, Oi to the World, Fairytale, etc.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Good idea with the Christmas albums....

ITA. It's that NOTE, the amazing high note at the end that gets me. Kelly Clarkson's version is good too. :nod: My all time fave Christmas tune by far.

Happy Christmas (War Is Over)- John Lennon or Melissa Etheridge

Bob Seger - Little Drummer Boy

Eagles or Bon Jovi - Please Come Home For Christmas (or whatever it's called.)

[Han Solo]

I'm suprised no one has mentioned "Merry Christmas everybody" from Slade.
Not many people here from the UK I guess.
But one of my favorites for a long time.

[Livia]

How could I have forgotten? Stevie and Chris Isaak's "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!" I love that!

[Serrart]

Definitely Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, especially sung by Bing Crosby, Judi Garland or Etta James version.

Romy

[sara1998]

I like quite a few Christmas songs, of all varieties... traditional, novelty, contemporary... but my all-time favorite Christmas song, is "Little Drummer Boy."

[Travis]

Wham!
Last Christmas ... excellent for a new original xmas song, makes for a great love song too

Band Aide
Do They Know It's Christmas ... very powerful and emotional

Natalie Cole
Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire ... classic standard

and of course

Stevie Nicks
Silent Night

[Miss Vicky]

Stevie Nicks
Silent Night

Ooh I can't stand this one! I'm not a fan of Christmas music in general (I own two Christmas cds - one by the Malibooz, which is of course Walter Egan's surf band, the other is a collection of obscene songs by an Australian named Kevin "Bloody" Wilson) but that particular one seems to be nothing but a showcase for the tremor in Stevie's voice that prompts certain comparisons like that on South Park. If you know what I mean.

Two songs I do like though:

"Christmas All Over Again" by a man about whom there's been an ongoing debate on the Warren Zevon board. The question - Is he God? My answer: Yes.

"Pretty Paper" Roy Orbison

[irishgrl]

two "spoof" songs I really enjoy:

12 days of Christmas by Bob and Doug MacKenzie
Walking round in women's underwear by ?? very funny song :nod:
here's the lyrics:
Walkin' Round in Women's Underwear

(to be sung to "Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland")

Lacy things -- the wife is missin',
Didn't ask -- her permission,
I'm wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the store -- there's a teddy,
Little straps -- like spaghetti,
It holds me so tight,
Like handcuffs at night,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.

In the office there's a guy named Melvin,
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown.
He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say,"Whoa, Man!"
"Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"

Later on, if you wanna,
We can dress -- like Madonna,
Put on some eyeshade,
And join the parade,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

Lacy things... missin',
Didn't ask... permission,
Wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!

[SuzeQuze]

I like quite a few Christmas songs, of all varieties... traditional, novelty, contemporary... but my all-time favorite Christmas song, is "Little Drummer Boy."

Me too. :blob1: :blob2: I had it on a record when I was little and played it over and over and cried. :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

"Ho Ho F***ing Ho" Kevin Bloody Wilson :D

Omigod, that is so funny!

Ho ho effing ho what a crock of sh**
We all work for Santa Claus we're sick of it we quit
Cuz we all do the effing work while he stars in the show
So stick your Christmas up your a - ho ho effing ho

:lol: A guy I used to work with emailed that to me with an animated Santa and it was so frikkin funny we played it over and over and over...

[SuzeQuze]

Ooh I can't stand this one! ...seems to be nothing but a showcase for the tremor in Stevie's voice that prompts certain comparisons like that on South Park. If you know what I mean.

...

There's a live verison of Stevie's Silent Night that sounds better than the record. [Yeah, I said record, and I'll probably never stop! It is still always "record" in my head then I say "CD".] I hated the VSC version too for a long time but it has grown on me. :shocked: I'm much more tolerant of Stevie's annoying vocal period now.

[chiliD]
