Althalus Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I haven't seen a topic about this yet and well it is the time of the season so which Christmas Carol (or some kind of remake by a popular artist) is your favorite? For a Traditional Christmas Carol I like almost any version of Drummer Boy I don't know why, it just sounds good. As for the more "pop" cultured christmas song it would have to a song Queen did about Christmas can't remember the title of it but it was pretty good nonetheless.

Bubsa Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I quite like Tidings of comfort and joy, Glo-ooooooo-oooooooo-ooooooooo-ooooooo-oooooria and In the bleak midwinter. I don't know how many are actually carols though. I'm not Christian either. These were just forced upon me as a child and they caught on. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Scruffy5389 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Glo-ooooooo-oooooooo-ooooooooo-ooooooo-oooooria I love that one. It's a tune made perfectly for old church ladies :lol: I'm not particularly religous, but Ive sang a lot of Christmas carols, and I always kind of liked "Here We Come A-Wassailing." I don't even know what that means, but it's my defining tune of good cheer :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman089 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Not necessarily carols, but Carol of the Bells and Revenge of the Sugar Plum Fairy by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra are just absolutely amazing. Excellent mix of rock guitar and orchestra. Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_the_Viscous Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen (the first one Bubsa mentioned). I like that one. There's a hilarious bit on a Bottom episode when Richie opens the door to his friends and sings: "God rest ye, merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, Remember..." (The joke being that the song goes: "God rest ye, merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our saviour was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray, O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy". ...and he forgot what comes after "remember"). Mainly I like that one because on the game called Rise of the Triad it was included in the musical score, under the joke name "deadly gentlemen". deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
