Favourite Christmas Music

I like Christmas music.

Me too. Holiday Christmas music rocks.

Oops...sorry GOM...I didn't mean to pull these posts...I thought it would just split off cause I wanted to start a new topic.

I'd like to ask everyone what their favourite Christmas/Holiday songs are?

I'm trying to compile a list of some of the favourites.

If you can list Title & Artist it would be appreciated.

The Pogues - Fairytale of New York......

BTW - GOM, you have now officially admitted that you are sentimental.

Pogues — Fairytale Of New York lyrics
It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me: won't see another one
And then they sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away and dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I´ve got a feeling
This year´s for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
Where all our dreams come true.
They got cars big as bars
They got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It´s no place for the old
When you first took my hand on a cold christmas eve
You promised me broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome you were pretty
Queen of new york city when the band finished playing they yelled out for more
Sinatra was swinging all the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night.
And the boys from the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out for christmas day.
You´re a bum you´re a punk
You´re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy christmas your arse I pray god it´s our last.
And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day.
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can´t make it out alone
I´ve built my dreams around you
And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
And the bells are ringing out
For christmas day.

My faves:

The Little Drummer Boy by the Vienna Boys Choir
Carol of the Bells (or alternate version "Ding! Fries are Done")
Deck the Halls
We Three Kings
Fairytale of New York, by The Pogues
F*ck Christmas, by Fear
I Don't Want to Fight Tonight (Merry Christmas) by The Ramones

Eartha Kitt (or Madonna)

I know of 2 that are famous:
1 - Marilyn Monroe
2 - Madonna

Not the Madonna version......one definitely done in the fifties. And in the early sixties there was a whole slew of them done by the reigning girl groups of the day featuring Phil Spector's Wall of Sound engineering.

Originally performed by Eartha Kitt, covered by pretty much everybody

oh yeah...the Eartha Kitt one is probably most famous...I had forgotten her name though.

She played CatWoman on the campy TV Batman series.....well, one of the Catwomen anyway....

The Bing Crosby - David Bowie version of Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy.

Yeah, that one is pretty good.

For me it's the christmas song from Charlie Brown

After that, any jazz christmas songs.

That one that Kyle sings on South Park.....

Ahhhhh, another classic.....

Merry Christmas Baby....male vocalist

Bob & Doug McKenzie's version of the 12 Days of Christmas LOL............
Where Are You Christmas by Faith Hill (from the Grinch Who Stole Christmas) is one that makes me teary eyed.

dominick the donkey

But only because of Geddy Lee!!

Six White Boomers (an Aussie Christmas song)
Just heard a great cover of I'll Be Home for Christmas by Rascall Flats ( I am a country music fan) great harmonies by these guys.

I know that QX 104 is doing the 1 big day for Christmas at the Safeway at Madison Square today from 6am - 6pm (as is 103) and they are playing Christmas songs for the whole day so if you are into listening to Christams songs this is a perfect chance to.

Just slightly off topic:

I was walking across Graham Av near the Library yesterday, and this crazy religious lady was handing out pamphlets, and yelling that christmas should be boycotted, since 'it had nothing to do with Jesus'. I wished her a "Merry Christmas!" She wasn't too happy with me, to say the least;)

Christmas had nothing to do with Jesus?

That's almost funny ).

I'm always amazed at how many people take things so seriously.

Maybe I'll get my suit on tomorrow and see if she's still out there...then go stand next to her and ring my bell .

Christmas really doesn't have anything to do with Jesus or religion. It has everything to do with shopping, eating a ton and debt. How many people really celebrate the true meaning of Christmas?
