Been hearing a lot of holiday tunes in the last couple of weeks, and many songs put me in the spirit of the season (and some take me back to childhood). Here are a few that have transported me back in time:
1) "Holly Jolly Christmas" Burl Ives
2) "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" John Lennon/Yoko Ono
3) "Wonderful Christmas Time" Paul McCartney
4) "Little Drummer Boy" Harry Simeone Chorale
5) "The Christmas Song" Nat King Cole
6) "Jingle Bell Rock" Bobby Helms
7) "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" Brenda Lee
8) "Jingle Bells" The Barking Dog version
9) "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)"
10) "Sleigh Ride" Arthur Fiedler & The Boston Pops Orchestra
11) "Feliz Navidad" José Feliciano
12) "Christmas Time Is Here" Vince Guaraldi (From 'A Charlie Brown Christmas')
13) "Blue Christmas" Elvis Presley
14) "Little Saint Nick" Beach Boys
15) "Someday At Christmas" Stevie Wonder
16) "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" The Jacksons (also Bruce Springsteen's version)
17) "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" Elmo & Patsy
18) "Do They Know It's Christmas" Band Aid
19) "Last Christmas" George Michael
20) "Carol Of The Bells" La Petite Bande de Montreal
Hm...I think that'll do it. Wow, that's like my ultimate Christmas CD!
Anyone else?
