"Fairytale of New York" is a good one

I don't usually like the Christmas songs that are usually played on the radio in Iceland, mainly because they're always the same 10 songs over and over plus a few Italian songs with Christmas-y lyrics in Icelandic..

But I'd like to present to y'all a brand new Christmas song - a bit different from the other songs posted here..

The song is in Icelandic, it's called "Jólaknús" (means "Christmas hug") and it's about a single girl who finds love a few days before Christmas. The music is written and performed by my good friend Mamiko, but I composed the lyrics.

I loved when Nick and Jessica did this song.

I also love Madonna's Santa Baby

John: I've thought that too!

Total: Sacrilege!

Have you ever heard Johnny Cash's or Jimi Hendrix's "Little Drummer Boy" ?

My favorite is the Harry Simeon Chorale's version.

Wha????? NO. I am sad to say I haven't heard their versions. Didn't even know they existed.

Oh yes Simeon Chorale's version is a must hear as well.

I love these guys!

this one has me rolling

"Straight No Chaser" is great!

The first time I heard them was in the mall... I came home and searched all over the place until I found them online!

Lets name our fave Christmas song, or two!!

And whats up with the really little fonts?

My fave is

http://www.youtube.com/wa...r_embedded

That's one of the few I don't mind, at this point. Also

"Merry Christmas, Baby" - Springsteen (even I'm sick of his "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" )

"Run Rudolph Run" - Keith Richards version

"Blue Christmas" - Mary Margaret O'Hara version

"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" - Mary Margaret O'Hara

"Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" - Tom Waits

2000 Miles - Pretenders

The Hanukkah Song - Adam Sandler

"Last Christmas" - Wham version

"Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)"

The Hall & Oates version of that Band one ("Son of a carpenter...")

Off the top of my head. Truth be told, I'm not a fan of Xmas music and try to avoid it.

As for the really little fonts, the answer is:

Actually, that Red Peters 'Blow-job for Christmas' duet with Margaret Cho's pretty good.

It's okay: Whoopi says it's not like it's date-rapey rapey.

Does she really???

It's definitely semi-there.

Did you read the comments under the video?

Someone wrote that Dean's trying to seduce a whole chorus!

I like the Rod Stewart/Dolly Parton version...

i guess one way to look at the thing is, at least he sugarcoats it.

I used to love to sing Gloria in Excelsis Deo in the school choir.

When I was really little we lived in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Talk about snow! When we moved to Nebraska, I was upset because it wouldn't snow until about a week before Christmas. Now since I've lived in the South for 14 years, you can keep snow! My poor family doesn't get to see me during any of the winter months. My other half grew up in the South and he won't deal with it at all. Guess I'm stuck in the South. It really has thinned my blood. And spread my ass! Southern cookin'!

I'm a 70's soul baby, so no Christmas is complete for me without

"...shake a hand, shake a hand... "

I love this one too!!!!

I'm at work now, so it'll gimme a chance to listen to all of these.

Christmas in Hollis is another fave though.

And of course

Some of my music from my channel . . .

For the most part I like traditional Christmas music but I pretty much like ALL Christmas music.
