November 23, 200619 yr Surprise, surprise! It's that time of year... again. Anyway we've all heard the songs, from "Jingle Bells" to "Frosty the Snowman" but the real question is, what's the original/best version of these songs? I'm trying to obtain an extensive mp3 collection of the Christmas songs. For example, over 75 people have recorded Jingle Bells but I want the version that is most familiar. I think we could all benefit from this project and we all just need to contribute a few details. Here's my knowledge for starters: Jingle Bells - Dean Martin Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms Happy Holidays - Andy Williams Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives Carol of the Bells - John Williams Frosty The Snowman - Jimmy Durante Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - Gene Autry Santa Clause Is Coming To Town - Bing Crosby Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney ~Added songs~ Let it Snow - Dean Martin White Christmas - Bing Crosby God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Nat King Cole The Christmas Song (Chestnuts...) - Nat King Cole All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey Sleigh Ride - Ella Fitzgerald Last Christmas (I Gave You My Heart) - Wham So This Is Christmas - John Lennon Fairytale of New York - The Pogues Silent Night - Bros Thank God Its Christmas - Queen I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard Merry Christmas Everybody - Slade Mistletoe and Wine - Cliff Richards My Christmas List - Simple Plan Can anyone add to this?
November 23, 200619 yr Bros - Silent Night + videoclip. Ouch. :') Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
November 23, 200619 yr Wham! - Last Christmas Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday :)
November 23, 200619 yr Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday :) I so love this song ;] I'd add: Cliff Richards - Mistletoe and Wine ? - Here comes Santa Clause (I've no idea who sings this, I mean, in the version that I really liked. I had it on a tape somewhere and I remember it's very lively and happy rhythm and I googled for it and saw that Elvis Presely and Bing Crosby are singing it, but they aren't usually famous for singing in a cheerful sort of way. :/). If anyone knows other versions of the song, please say them. Merry Xmas (War is over) - John Lennon "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."
November 24, 200619 yr Oh come on. How could we forget Slade? This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

November 24, 200619 yr God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Nat King Cole (I think). Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
November 26, 200619 yr *looks at avatars and locations* Are you related? :? Fairytale of New York - The Pogues Absolutely. Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
November 26, 200619 yr Author God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Nat King Cole (I think). Lol, I forgot about that song, but it's sweet! Cole's version is cool because he really emphasizes the syllable breaks. Sounds like he's singing while riding a really bumpy train or something :)
