OT- Best Christmas Song

[Drew]

whats the best Christmas song? I'm going with an underrated one- Baby It's Cold Outside. Honorable mention to Silent Night

 

[superjohn]

As far as I'm concerned it's far and away "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues.

 

[TheRogers]

In terms of Christmas message, my vote goes to The Little Drummer Boy

 

[Milo65]

White Christmas, Baby it's Cold Outside +1

 

[CTMike]

Springsteen's version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town takes the top slot for me, followed closely by Mariah singing All I Want for Christmas is You and Harry Connick Jr. - Must Have Been Ol Santa Claus.

Italian 12 Days of Christmas. I mean really...5 Mike Piazzas and a ride in an Iroc Z? Who can beat that?
I just dropped the mic and walked away.

 

[Husky25]

It's Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Straight, No Chaser's version of 12 Days of Christmas
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses

All I Want for Christmas is You is so overplayed, it's fallen way out of favor.

 

[BlueMAB]

The Christmas Song, Nat King Cole or any other Christmas song from Nat King Cole.

Baby it's cold outside is acceptable for honorable mention.

 

[Dove]

Orlovsky the Snowman is pretty catchy.

 

[Nostical]

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Here Comes Christmas" are the best.

[Skiblets]

Christmas in Hollis. Run DMC

 

[HartfordHank]

Oh Holy Night followed by Hark the Herald Angels.

Handel's hallelujah chorus is wonderful but I am not sure that is officially a Christmas Song.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Feliz Navidad.

No one turns it off the radio and too many Americans think they know Spanish because they can sing along with it.

 

[SAMCRO]

The Bing Crosby & David Bowie's version of Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy

Oh Holy Night followed by Hark the Herald Angels.

Handel's hallelujah chorus is wonderful but I am not sure that is officially a Christmas Song.

Not sure if they still do it but I was in the choir back in my UConn days and fall semester we learned the Hallelujah Chorus... I'm sure we sang it at Jorgensen, I think the Bushnell too? I forget at this point.

"Baby It's Cold Outside" should be titled "The Date Rate Song", look at the lyrics...

I can't believe I'm promoting Jimmy Buffet, but his 'Christmas Island' album is actually really good and easily my favorite Christmas music. Mele Kelikimaka, Run Rudolph Run, Ho ho ho & a Bottle of Rum, A Visit From St. Nicholas, and Up On A Housetop are all good tracks.

But my favorite Christmas movie just might have to be Diehard, so what do I know?

 

[Husky25]

"Baby It's Cold Outside" should be titled "The Date Rate Song", look at the lyrics...

What? It's a song about persistence (With the help of a roofie or two..."Say, What's in this drink?")!!!

The woman says no twice and the song goes on for another 6 stanzas.

But my favorite Christmas movie just might have to be Diehard, so what do I know?

Die Hard is close 2nd to the first Lethal Weapon.

[RedSoloCup]

I will toss in bare naked ladies/Sarah McLaughlin for "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

Love the harmonies there.

 

[BugsyCT]

The Bing Crosby & David Bowie's version of Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy

This. Never tire of hearing it.

Also like Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives.

 

[uconnric]

Darlene Love singing "Baby Please Come Home", especially when she sang it on the Letterman show.

 

[Palatine]

At the risk of being called a racist. Bing Crosby's version of White Christmas.

 

[Husky25]

At the risk of being called a racist. Bing Crosby's version of White Christmas.

Bing's White Christmas is a classic. Out of curiosity, why would that make you a racist?

In terms of Christmas message, my vote goes to The Little Drummer Boy

Best version of Little Drummer Boy is Segar's. But the answer to the question is the Boss's version of Santa Clause is Coming to Town.

(Of course, if Jews don't get a vote never mind)
