I'm listening to the sample this year. "Back Door Santa" by Clarence Carter.

Mel & Kim`s "rockin` around the christmas tree" always manage to get me in a good mood.


My favorite song is still "silent night"
There are so many great versions of it, but these singers sang them like nobody else

Of course...

I`m serious, just listen to it

some of my faves:

The Pretenders: Have Yourslef a Merry Little Christmas
Kenny and Dolly- Christmas to Remember, Hard Candy Christmas
Tim Burgess and St Etienne- I was Born On Christmas Day
The Pretenders- 2000 Miles
Bing Crosby- Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
Prince- Another Lonely Christmas
Cyndi Lauper- Silent Night, Feels Like Christmas


in general, Xmas albums by Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis and Bing Crosby rule...

Anyone buy every single album in those A Very Special Christmas series?



I love that Keith Haring cover art.

I only have the first one. Eurythmics did a very good job with "winter wonderland" Sinead O`Connor has a song on the second cd, i would like to hear that one.

2 songs I LOVE at Christmas r Cyndi Lauper's "Christmas Conga" and Debbie Gibson's version of "Sleigh Ride". So bouncy, so cheesy. Gotta love it!

Another Lonley Chrismas- Prince

Mary Chrismas Baby-

Once i get started on christmas music, i can`t stop
Anyone know "it must`ve been ol` santa claus" by Harry Connick Jr?
I love everything about that song, it cheers me up

(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus

I think I saw ol' Santa through my window Christmas eve
My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe
It must've been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat
And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that
And then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door
The same ol' Christmas trick my dad had played since I was four
He stands outside my bedroom yelling ";Ho! Ho! Ho!"; because
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus
I think my daddy sees me
Peeking from my door
But he pretends he's Santa anyway
Every year he tries to fool me
But I'm a big boy now I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh...
No way!
So I went back to bed and I curled up nice and tight
I stared out my window and looked into the night
And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see
Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me

Chorus:
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Happy ";Ho! Ho! Ho!"; to you

Then I heard ol' Rudolph tellin' me to come outside
He told me that ol' Santa wanted me to take a ride
I climbed out of my window and I jumped onto his sleigh
Then ol' Santa took me up up and away
We flew high above the rooftops of my sleepy town below
I saw my big red school house and the town square picture show
It was really past my bedtime and so ol' Santa said
";Little boys like you should be in bed";
So I hollered ";Ho! Ho! Ho!";
And I put on Santa's hat
Then he let me hold the reins awhile
We pulled up to my window
And I jumped back in my room
And I waved goodbye to Santa with a smile
When I woke up Christmas morning it was clear and bright
My parents said my window had blown open in the night
I smiled as I told them that it must've been the cat
And they asked me where I got my big red hat

Chorus

BTW, wrong Mel & Kim. That version of Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree was a comedy charity single done by comedian Mel Smith and Kim Wilde.

Ellie said:

oops I have it on a christmas compilation, and it just says Mel & Kim, that`s confusing Thanks for the correction. Still, it`s a funny song

Yeah, it was for Comic Relief. I remember the video being hilarious, but I was a kid at the time.

Nat King Cole`s "the christmas song" is a classic, but the "duet" of the song with Natalie is even better
Her voice sounds like it`s made for christmas songs

CHIC0 said:

Wham!/Last Christmas

I have lots of memories about this song from my childhood - that's why...

Cheek said:

That's a GREAT one!

Memories can be key with these songs. CYndi Lauper's version of Silent Night is prolly by no means the BEST version, but it is tied to some incredibally powerful memories for me and will be a song I hold close to my heart for the rest of my life.

Cheek said:

I like this one too.
