Well, its that time year so i thought i'd post an item about christmas...or
more specifically christmas songs. What is YOUR favorite christmas song?
Also, I'm trying to figure out the name of a certain song and the kid's movie
that its from. It sorta goes: "I'm mister warm christmas....everything i
touch, starts to melt in my clutch...ect.

"O Come Emmanuel" has always been my favorite, then "The 12 Days of Christmas"
by those two yooper-sounding guys, and finally "The 12 Days of Christmas" done
as a parody...there's a thing about putting up the lights, Christmas cards,
kids whining, etc. I wish I knew who did it.

"Angels We Have Heard on High" is a fave. I just dig the lyrics. And..
oh, shoot. I can't remember the title, but it has the "O Night Divine"
chorus in it.
But the best of all time: "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto" by
James Brown. Hell yeah!!!

Sounds like I need to do some shopping. :)
Aside from the Messiah (which is at best only arguably Christmas music)
and Captain Kangaroo's Nutcracker Suite (which I would be vastly
surprised if anyone else here has heard), hmm. Carol of the Bells,
though I haven't heard a good version in a long, long time. The Boars
Head, ditto. Lots of old, obscure carols that I only know because my
father somehow manages to find recordings of obscure Christmas music
around this time of year. This is the one time of year when he has any
talent whatsoever for procuring decent music.

I haven't heard Tom Lehrer's Christmas Carol in years, but I remember it as
being extremely funny. It was a hodgepodge of parodies of various different
carols. http://gunther.simplenet.com/v/data/achristm.htm
In terms of real Christmas carols, I tend to like a lot of the classical ones,
but cringe at the muzakized versions of them that are getting played all over
the place this time of year. I also seem to be developing a real distaste
for such dumbed down carols as Frosty the Snowman, and Santa Clause is Coming.

You may want to add a "...To Town" to that, Steve. It sounds a
bit...well...Lehrer-ish. =)
There was a song at Meijer tonight annoying the beejeezus out of me.
Something about a stupid snowflake tapping at her window. I almost shot the
damn speakers.
Greg F. - I have a copy of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir doing "Carol of the
Bells" in mp3 format. Want it?
