Christmas songs

[Target]

I can’t believe that really depressing song is the Christmas number one. Christmas is meant to be about joy and happiness not slitting your wrists shame The Darkness didn’t get the top spot. Oh well never mind.
So to cheer up, what are your 3 fave Christmas songs. Here’s mine.
1. Pogues with Kirsty McCall. With a Fairy Tale of New York
2. Wizzard. With I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
3. The Darkness with Don’t let the bells end.

I'm into parody, so...

... I want a hippopotamus for Christmas (my wife's favorite)
... The restroom door said gentlemen (to the tune of "god rest ye merry...")
... I am Santa Claus (to the tune of Black Sabbath's Ironman)

The first one is on a Doctor Demento Christmas compilation, and the last two are on two different Bob Rivers & Twisted Radio CDs (Twisted Christmas and I am Santa Claus).

I guess I listen to Rudolph because it's one of my kids' favorites, but I don't let that worry me too much [img]smile.gif[/img]

Johnny Mathis, Amy Grant, Judy Collins, various choirs....I'm not big on the 'modern' stuff for Christmas Carols, but I do love Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas music!

My favorite CD is: Christmas Eve and Other Stories by The Trans-Siberian Orchestra


My favorite song on it is "Old City Bar" and here are the lyrics:

OLD CITY BAR
In an old city bar
That is never too far
From the places that gather
The dreams that have been

In the safety of night
With its old neon light
It beckons to strangers
And they always come in

And the snow it was falling
The neon was calling
The music was low
And the night
Christmas Eve

And here was the danger
That even with strangers
Inside of this night
It's easier to believe

Then the door opened wide
And a child came inside
That no one in the bar
Had seen there before

And he asked did we know
That outside in the snow
That someone was lost
Standing outside our door

Then the bartender gazed
Through the smoke and the haze

Through the window and ice
To a corner streetlight

Where standing alone
By a broken pay phone
Was a girl the child said
Could no longer get home

And the snow it was falling
The neon was calling
The bartender turned
And said , not that I care
But how would you know this?
The child said I've noticed
If one could be home
They'd be all ready there

Then the bartender came out from behind the bar
And in all of his life he was never that far
And he did something else that he thought no one saw
When he took all the cash from the register draw

Then he followed the child to the girl cross the street
And we watched from the bar as they started to speak
Then he called for a cab and he said J.F.K.
Put the girl in the cab and the cab drove away
And we saw in his hand
That the cash was all gone
From the light that she had
wished upon

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last

By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger

And to know who needs help
You need only just ask

Then he looked for the child
But the child wasn't there
Just the wind and the snow
Waltzing dreams through the air

So he walked back inside
Somehow different I think
For the rest of the night
No one paid for a drink

And the cynics will say
That some neighborhood kid
Wandered in on some bums
In the world where they hid

But they weren't there
So they couldn't see
By an old neon star
On that, night, Christmas Eve

When the snow it was falling
The neon was calling
And in case you should wonder
In case you should care

Why we're on our own
Never went home
On that night of all nights
We were already there

Then all at once inside that night
He saw it all so clear
The answer that he sought so long
Had always been so near

It's every gift that someone gives
Expecting nothing back
It's every kindness that we do
Each simple little act

But "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)" (Carol Of The Bells actually) is also very good!

Happy Holidays to All!

Hey, have you ever heard:

I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus
by Kip Addotta

I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
He didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep.
He thought that I was upstairs in my bedroom fast asleep.

Then I saw Daddy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white.
There must be some mistake;
Was I really awake?
I rubbed my eyes and moved in close, a better look to take.

Then I saw Daddy hugging Santa Claus.
He took his hand and pulled him to the couch.
It must have been just fine;
Santa didn't mean to mind.
Then Daddy moved across the room to pour them both some wine.

Then I saw Daddy fondle Santa Claus,
And on his ear he nibbled now and then.
I crawled across the floor,
I hid behind the door,
I left it open just a crack so I could see some more.

Then I saw Daddy undress Santa Claus.
They quickly threw their clothes on our big chair.
Well, much to my surprise,
I couldn't believe my eyes!
It wasn't Santa after all but Mommy in disguise,

When I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath to mistletoe last night.
Oh what I laugh it would have been,
If I had REALLY seen,
Daddy kissing Santa Claus last night

Of course it is the same tune as "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" played on toy piano (among other instruments). It's pretty darn funny.
