I'm not much of a Bruce Springsteen fan, but I like his rendition of "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town"

Great. Now it's stuck in my head.

 

"SANta Claus is coming to town...SANta Claus is coming to town..."

Isn't it more... Sannna Claus in his case? laugh.gif

Exactly - Sanna Claus, and I don't like that version. no.gif

 

Another "don't like" is "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". Usually because it's some adult pretending to sing it like a whiny kid.

 

"I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" (mentioned already) is fun. And I have never, ever, OD'd on Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad".

Well, yeah...I guess it is. But you got my point.

Even though I do not usually care for Mariah Carey, I love her version of "All I Want For Christmas".

 

Another favorite is "I'll Be Home For Christmas". Part of the reason I love it is the story behind it - it was written by a soldier on deployed on the Euro front in WWI.

 

Hate The Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick". Also hate "My Grown Up Christmas List."

I love the Mariah Carey song. Total guilty pleasure and I can't stand her otherwise.

 

 

Embarassing story: I still remember singing that song or turning it WAY up on my walkman radio when it came on my junior year in high school. I had my first boyfriend ever and was so happy and this song fit the bill for the entire month. Ah young love... wub.gif laugh.gif

I like The Arrogant Worms song entitled ... "Santa's Gonna Kick Your Ass"

I haven't heard that one! laugh.gif Must find it - sounds like something good for a laugh or twenty.

My absolute favorite:

 

"And he shall purify" from Handel's "Messiah"

 

"And the glory of the Lord" from Handel's "Messiah"

 

"This little babe" from "Ceremony of Carols" by Britten

 

"Balulalow" from "Ceremony of Carols" by Britten

 

 

"Deo gracias" from "Ceremony of Carols" by Britten

 

Random blurb: I have performed all of the above. My favorites were the Ceremony of Carols (I sang second soprano, which was AWESOME. We were on the off beat, so lots of counting. It was just... wow. Makes me miss singing with a choir). And we hired a harpist and had a full choir for the non-women pieces. Oh man. If you have a good choir (which we were not stellar by any means), shuffle out the bucks to see Ceremony of Carols because it is amazing in its entirety.

 

And... finally.... the best...

 

 

Oh yeah, and I like Zooey Deschanel's cover of "Baby, it's cold outside." Otherwise I listen to very nontraditional Christmas music.

 

And I despise anything by Mariah Carey. Her vocal nodules pain me.
