My favorite Xmas song

mousepod · 12-05-2006, 07:22 PM

Spurred by the posts in the Xmas thread, I decided to share my favorite Xmas song with you. I didn't want to post it to YouTube (I'm not sure who owns the copyright, but I know it's not me), so I just stuck it up on my .mac page for a more private viewing.

Feel free to download it, just don't tell a friend...

Happy Holidays!

Here's the link...

Very nice.

My favorite is "Christmas-time is Here Again" by Vince Guaraldi.

Is there a more beautiful Christmas song?

I submit that there is not.

Amen to both the above selections. I can't improve on them.

Where did that Kate Bush clip come from? There are so few live performances comitted to tape. (I'm anxious for the eventual Complete Saturday Night Live season box set that will include her American debut. As I recall, Eric Idle was the host that night.)

I used to have "December Will Be Magic Again" as a 45, in a box set of Kate Bush singles, but does anyone know if it exists on CD or legit download? The studio version of this song is pretty damn enchanting.

"Christmas Time Is Here" chokes me up every year.

Love that Kate song. I've never heard it before.

But, yeah how boring of me, my absolute fave will likely always be "Christmas Time is Here."

flippy,

The Kate video comes from her 1979 Christmas special. The studio version of the song was released on the first of the two bonus CDs in her "This Woman's Work" box.

As far as her SNL appearance goes, that's floating around, too.

I think there'll be a care package on its way to FL sometime early next week...

"All I Want for Christmas is You" ~ Mariah Carey
"Linus & Lucy" ~ Vince Guaraldi Trio
and
"Good King Wenceslas" ~ by whoever...

Tom Jones and Cercy Matthews doing "Baby its cold outside" and the strange Cocteau Twins version of Frosty the Snowman.

I also like Mojo Nixon's "Grinch".

There's been a lot of really odd but good covers of holiday songs lately. Of course, there's been some really bad ones as well.

My favorite is a tie between the Bing Crosby/David Bowie "Little Drummer Boy"
and
"Christmas In Hollis" by Run DMC

Man, that costume...

Whenever I see outfits like that, all I can think of is "what if she has to pee?" and I can't pay attention to what they're actually doing.
