Fave Holiday Tunes?
Posted: December 17th, 2008, 3:11 pm
Mine is a short list, based on each song’s ability to be played (or overplayed as the case usually is) between November and December without me completely losing it and jabbing pens in my ears to make it stop. In fact, I usually play these songs several times in row and probably contribute to others' desperate cries of “Make it stop! Just make it stop!” Cool! I'll pass out pens for that!
Anyway, here's my faves. Not much to explain...
Christmas All Over Again [Tom Petty] – co-written by Jeff Lynne (formerly of ELO) and this song is sooooo Lynne with the percussion, particularly the snare drum.
Happy Christmas (War is Over) [John Lennon] – wish I could edit out Yoko’s wailing as a backup singer
Santa Baby – as sung by Eartha Kitt and ONLY Eartha Kitt
Little Saint Nick [The Beach Boys] - ’nuff said!... However, I especially like the Muppet version with Animal chiming in “Run, run reindeer!”
Now, to narrow down the list of holiday songs that could go away and the world would be a better place...
