Favorite Christmas Carol/Song (1 Viewer)

[Jenn]

Christmas (with a capital C) is coming and I was wondering what everybody's favorite tune was. There is a local station that's playing 24/7 Christmas carols and I've been listening to it alot!

Mine are:

Angels we have heard on high
Oh Holy Night
Little Drummer Boy

Oh, and that one song, I don't remember the name:

Do you see what I see, A star a star, dancing in the night...

I have so many I like. I was in radio 15 years and programmed for the last 5...with the last 6 of those years my station was Christmas 24/7. (MixMas) Plus about 4-5 of the stations I voice tracked for would also go wall-to-wall Christmas. So I got to know songs pretty good.....

I love all the classics/traditional ones. So some of them...and some of the "fun" ones I like are:

The 12 Pains of Chirstmas - Bob Rivers
Blue Chirstmas - Elvis version
Little Saint Nick - Sugar Ray version
White Chirstmas - The Drifters (Used in Home Alone)
Rudolph - Jewel (and her mom)
The Gift - Aselin Debison (The most request....every year!)
Here Comes Santa Claus - Elvis version
Christmas...(baby please come home) - U2
All I want for Christmas is You - Mariah or Vince Vance and the Vailants
Merry CHristmas/Happy Holidays - N'Sync
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Barenaked Ladies w/McLachlan
Jingle Bells - Barry Manlow and Expose
This Chirstmas - Christina Aguilera
Step into Christmas - Elton John
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow - Ricochet (best version ever!!)


You just wouldn't beleive how many versions there are of some songs. When I was programming the music....I really had to pay attention to a thing called "title separation". It was tough sometimes to keep different versions apart.

This is my first year not doing it....and it really seems strange! This is also the first "season" that it doesn't feel as "Christmas-y" to me. Hmmmm...guess I better get to blastin' some of my cd's and mp3's, huh?

Seeing as how it is also deer season around here....does anyone remember the song "Da Turdy Point Buck" - by Bananas At Large?

Oh if I had a dollar for everytime I had a request for that one back in my days on a country station.....I could build us all fuel cars!

Oh Holy Night

anything by the Trans Siberian Orchestra

I saw them in concert about four years ago. I didn't want the show to end. They were AWESOME baby! Love their version of Oh Holy Night. The lead guitarist looked just like Joe Perry of Aerosmith and that guy wailed on the Fender.

Here in the Twin Cities, we have two stations playing Xmas music 24/7. I like the song "Rockin around the Christmas Tree" (Brenda Lee?) and The Ronettes version of "Sleigh Ride". Gene Autry's "Here comes Santa Claus" is good too.
