Favorite Christmas songs

[Orange Apron]

Whats your favorite Christmas song, serious, sappy or just plain goofy go ahead...

I have a few goofy ones.

Muppets 12 days of Christmas
Alvin and The Chipmunks Christmas song (have probably an original 45 of this)
I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas (by far the goofiest)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Springsteens version)

[ToUtahNow]

Grandma got run over by the Reindeers

[Drain Medic]

Christmas Wrapping (The Waitresses)
Santa and his old lady (Cheech and Chong)
Holly Jolly Christmas (Burl Ives)
Oh Holy Night ( Micheal Crawford )(Phantom of the Opera singer)
Blue Christmas (Elvis)
Porky Pig singing christmas songs lol
Little Drummer Boy (anyone who sings it)

Those are my favs.

[Frankiarmz]

All good songs but Bing Crosby singing "Little Drummer Boy" justs hits a cord for Christmas in me.:)

Bing Crosby and David Bowie singing it is my fav. one

[oldslowchevy]

red sovine's "you ain't getting sh*t for chiristmas" or the 12 drunken days of christmas, though i am not sure who sings that one i think it is bob rivers though

[Orange Apron]

Oh man there are so many good versions of 12 Days. I also forgot about Gramma and the reindeer

[Woussko]

Mine is a little known one from many years ago. This was on a 10" 78 RPM disc record and from some small recording studio company.

Cows Won't Give Us Christmas Off - Mad Farmer and The Milkhouse Gang

It's true (about cows on a farm) but the way it's done will have you falling out of your chair.

I don't have a copy but long ago (25-30 years back) I heard it on WRVA AM - Richmond, VA and they said a few listeners claimed that WSM of Nashville, TN used to play it. Maybe I need to call them and beg for more info. Only an old timer program director would begin to know about it.

Walking in a winter wonderland and the goofy version; Walking 'round in womens underwear.

Does that fact that I know what a 78RPM record is make me old?

[Wild Weasel]

I love Eric Cartman's rendition of O Holy Night, and Mr. Garrison's Merry F**king Christmas had me in stitches the first time I saw it. :D

[Woussko]

In a word - NO

Thinking more about it, my bet it was more like 35 years ago when I heard it.

[franklie]

Bing Crosby's "White Christmas"

"Cows Won't Give Us Christmas Off - Mad Farmer and The Milkhouse Gang"

There is not such song and never was unless you personally wrote it and howl it with your other hound friends. I did some good research on this one.

[plumberscrack]

Christmas Wrapping by the waitresses is one of my favs too.

Little Drummer Boy (I was the drummer in 3rd grade Christmas pageant)

I Can't Wait for Christmas by the sweet and saxy Mindi Abair:love2:

Winter Wonderland, but I'm totally confused by the lyrics:

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
and pretend that he is Parson Brown.
He'll say "are you married?" we'll say "no, man,
but you can do the job when you're in town!"

Assuming the snowman we just made can talk, why is he asking us if we are married?

A Parson is an Anglican priest, just what 'job' is he doing while he's in town?

[oldslowchevy]

that is C.I.A. talk for the sniper snow man to know and for you to figer out

[garager]

Little Drummer Boy, I find myself humming then singing the song as my first song every year, when we're getting closer to X-Mas. Done by Bing C of course.

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus".......done by Jimmy Boyd
I sing that too, of course only when I'm alone.....

[Wild Weasel]

I think you just answered your own question! Since you've told him you're not married... and he's a priest... then he can do the job of marrying you, right? Assuming of course that you have someone to marry... :D

[plumberscrack]

Now I just feel dumb :smack-head:

It's really none of the snowmans business what my marital staus is anyways.

Just my dirty mind running away with me again :grin-devilish: I thought it was some sexual reference

[Wild Weasel]

You feel dumb? I had no idea a parson was a priest! I just thought that was his first name! :D

[Woussko]

To be serious I would have to say Joy To The World and Silent Night done in the traditional way.

A good fun one is Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer - Elmo and Patsy

[JimDon]

Most favorite one of all is the John Lennon's "And So This is Christmas."
But like others here, favs are White Christmas, Little Drummer, etc. All bring back great memories of childhood Christmas. BTW, I still have some of the Christmas songs on 78, although I don't have a 78 record changer to play them on. Oh, and any of Nat King Cole's Christmas recordings. Man, that guy had one he!! of a smokey smooth voice. (bet a lot of you don't even know who Nat King Cole was!!!
Jim Don

[Woussko]

Jim

I sure do remember the great voice of Nat King Cole. I like to hear his daughter singing as well. There are a few special recordings I want to look into where they took the old masters of his work and added her voice to them. I heard some on the radio the other day. Very nice

[Wild Weasel]

One that always reminds me of being a kid again is "Little Toy Trains".

[oldslowchevy]

red sovine's "teddy bear"

[swoosh81]

Trans Siberian Orchestra- An Angel Returned

[gear junkie]

It's not a "Christmas" song but does deal with the holidays. Adam Sandler's "Chanukkah Song".
