bouche Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I think it's time to start compiling the yearly "Tunez for the holidays" compilation. I made one a couple of years ago when napster was just gettin' real big. Napster rocked for that. I've got a good list, but I'm hoping to get some new ideas from y'all. To the Question: What is your favorite christmas tune? Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I am going to say this one, before someone else does......... God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman, Garcia-Grisman Well, more like a favorite cover I guess. (Thanks Bouche, I figure you must have left that one for me!)

Ms.Huxtable Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I have to give my Mom and Dad credit for playing this album over and over and over at Christmas time when I was a kid. Every year it would be the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton Christmas album. It just ain't Christmas without it! My favorite songs on it were: -I Believe in Santa Clause -Christmas Without You -Once upon a Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phred Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 My favourite Xmas album is the Harry connick Jr. When My Heart Finds Christmas. My favourite tune on that album is: (It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus It's an original. Very cool Big Band sort a' thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phunky Cauldron Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I'm still a sucka for the real old stuff like Bing Crosby, Bobby Helms, Brenda Lee and Perry Como. But my alltime favourite is John Lennon's "So this is Christmas". Great tune for a great season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 The "Boney M" xmas album is always on at my parent's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backbacon Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 i forget what it's called but i've been singing it for a month now. it goes like this: duhn nuh nuh nuh. duhn nuh nuh nuh. duhn nuh nuh nuh.... (that keeps going, raising in intensity) and then this part: nuh nenenenene nuh nuh nuh nenenenene nuh nuh I don't know the words either, but I think nero is going to be playing it on their holiday tour!

Guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 I'd have to go with Bob & Doug McKenzie's rendition of "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backbacon Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Yeah, carol of the bells. Doesn't sound familiar but I bet that's it. nothing would sound familiar because i don't think i ever knew the name of it. i have to agree too. bowie/ bing crosby's "littel drummer boy' is creepy awesome! I've yet to hear it, but I bet beck's little drum machine boy is quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Phantasy Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 I agree with Scottie on the second artist, Hawksley Workman's "Almost a Full Moon" and Tino Rossi when e sey e don't speak too many english but e try da best e r on "Petit Papa Noel" Of course there's always the classics from Mr. Bing crosby and Perry Como..

smokeythinker Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 yeah, it certainly wouldn't be christmas if boney m didn't get a spin... had to suffer thru that one quite a bit as a child... but seriously, louis armstrong's got this tune "zat you santa claus" and it's cool and duke ellington's take the holiday train album is quite good... i'm really not a fan of regular christmas songs...maybe it's the unbearable cornyness?? c'mon now, i can't be the only one that wants to throw something when i hear "frosty the snowman" or take my own life when "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" comes on, can i??! but i love christmas. really.

Mr. Musicface Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 My two favorite "modern" Christmas songs have similar names but very different sentiments: "I Believe In Father Christmas" - Greg Lake/ELP "Father Christmas" - The Kinks The latter is the one with the following refrain: Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys. We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Now that's festive! Peace, Mr. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 nero's carol of bells from last year that was enjoyable. hey bouche, i would like a copy of your compilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 I like all of those ide'ers... I just wish I could remember the tune that Paul McCartney did in the eighties. I think that was a good one, but for the life of me, I cannot recall what it's called. Here are a few that I'll try and find too... do they know it's christmas - bananarama and various artists merry xmas (war is over) - lennon santa claus is back in town - elvis The Twelve Days of Christmas - Bob and Doug Mackenzie H, I'll make you one.
