Hey, what do you know? Someone else around here I know!
Just don't call it a Merry-Thon, or Comedy Central is gonna go after
you.

Find Father Christmas by The Kinks on a Rhino collection:
Billboard Rock 'N' Roll Christmas. Or invite me to stop and join
you.
When I heard Stevie Wonder's "Someday at Christmas" I was
in awe of a great song by a Motown artist that was not a cover tune.
But then again, The Tempations version of "Rudolf" is one of my
favorites.

Sixpence None The Richer does a nice version of the Grinch song, nothing beats
the origional with Boris though... Rebecca St. James has out a really good
Christmas CD too, with a version of Lennon's Happy Christmas.. Don't forget
the Waitresses song 'Christmas Wrapping'

Tom Waits, "Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis".

Re #32: Doesn't Boris just read the story and the guy who does/did the
voice of Tony the Tiger sing?

I've heard the same thing. A friend of mine has the cd, and the liner notes
for that song list a non-Boris name, but I wouldn't recognize the name of the
guy who does Tony the Tiger if it jumped up and bit me.

Re #35 Tony Marvin, who at one time was Arthur Godfrey's announcer, was the
original voice of Tony the Tiger.
And that's our little-known fact for today.

re. #31 - thanks for the info!
re. #33 - damn, I forgot all about the Tom Waits song. Thanks!
We're going to try and get the Grinch soundtrack, and a co-worker said
he's going to burn "A Lonely Jew on Christmas" onto a CD for us. We
also have some indie-pop Christmas and Hanukah compilations at the
station that we're going to play.

I still got about 2 and half feet of Christmas CDs to be listened
to this year. Two John Denvers just went into the CD shuffler (one with
the Muppets).

I've always liked "Jingle Bell Rock" but I never hear it... And for church
type songs I've always liked "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "Oh Come
All Ye Faithful."
I really like the Southpark Christmas Album... Specially the "Merry
F'kn Christmas" by that teacher guy, and "I saw Three Ships" by Shelly...

If you ever play "Jingle Bell Rock" around me, I will throw cookie dough
at you.
I still love "O Come Emmanuel". I can't wait to sing it this weekend.

Sarah- well, first I would have to get an album of Christmas music...
which I don't currently have... And none of my dad's multitudinous cds
has Jingle Bell Rock on it... <sighs dramatically>

Aw, Jingle Bell Rock is a great song. C'mon, everybody sing!:
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' and bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun...

"O Come Emmanuel"... Feh. A good song, I suppose, but my family sang it
at least once a day, every day for a month, every year while I was
growing up. I'm a little tired of it, at least of singing it. I
suppose a good small-choral arrangement of it would strike my fancy,
but...

Jewel can go away and never come back as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, come now. Don't be so harsh. I heard she spills her cans in that
Civil War movie.

I long ago decided that I'd never want to be her boyfriend. I couldn't
endure all the poetry.
But the cans might be the deal-maker for me in deciding whether to see
the movie.

I got my Christmas card from Jonathan Edwards today. This year it's a CD!
Two songs: Jingle Bell Rock and The Night Before Christmas. I'll listen to
it tonight.
(For the younger set: Jonathan Edwards sang the hit "Sunshine" ("Sunshine,
go away today...I don't feel much like dancin'...") which is now pretty much
only heard on Oldies stations.)
