Your Most/Least Favorite Holiday Songs?
At this point in the season, I've heard every holiday tune at least 3 times, thanks to the sound system in my office building.
They're all starting run together at this point...
Still, there are a few tunes that give me that good feeling. Unfortunately, there are others that I can't get out of my head...
My Favorites:
Sarah MacLachlan & Barenaked Ladies: "God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen"--I mean, have you heard this? Great stuff. She could even make country music sound good...
Sarah MacLachlan: "Song For A Winter's Night"--I'm not exactly sure this is a "holiday" tune, but it's on this "Sounds of the Season" CD my wife has. $100 goes to the person who can tell me who originally did this song...
David Bowie & Bing Crosby: "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy"--Classic duet. Who the hell came up with this pairing in the first place?
Any song from the Charlie Brown Christmas Special--That show still gets me every time. I'm 27, for God's sake! WTF!!!
Least Favorite:
Any jazz rendition of old standards-- I can't escape these horrible tunes where the singer is trying to be jazzy with the lyrics and the articulation:
"Oh, THE weather OUTside is frightful, and the fire is so, so, SO, so delightful. Be bop, bop bop..."
Shoot me now...
