Deirdre · Posted: Sat Dec 12, 2009 8:14 am Post subject: What's your Fave Holiday Song?

I love Elf's Lament from Bare Naked Ladies. Possibly the best,, most complicated and satisfying rhyme scheme in any song EVAR.

And this is one I look forward to every year. I listen to this several times a year because it's just so coolk, but I can flog it shamelessly during the holidays.

Gary Hoey's Frosty The Snowman.

Super fine.

Andy Williams It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year is my all time fav.

However, growing up my Mom & Dad would gather us around and sing all of the Christmas Sing Along With Mitch Miller tunes. The album actually came with several copies of the lyrics so we could all "sing along with Mitch"

Hands down my favorite is Silent Night. My wife Cinda and I sing it as a duet in church sometimes in the original German, Stille Nacht.

The scamp side of me likes I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus.

The performer in me likes doing Allan Sherman's The Twelve Days of Christmas with props and all (I'll have to dig up my video of that someday) and of course my version of I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas, available for your bemusement on the YouTubes: http://www.youtube.com/user/ecurbius#p/u/18/2A_F-HbZveY

The sentimental side of me likes a great church choir (like the one my Dad used to sing with) really doing up a classic like O Come All Ye Faithful, with the chest thumping power of a mighty church organ. Oh, the memories.

Roger,

Thank you for reminding me. The Palestrina is my second favorite of all time.

Roger - I love "Lo How a" as our madrigal director always called it!

Have a few other favorites too:

In the Bleak Midwinter

I dare any of you to find a better rendition of Hark the Herald Angels Sing than this one, by The Blenders, my favorite a capella group.

Gotta give props to Take 6 for a dang good one, too.

"What's your favorite Holiday song?"

SNOOPY'S CHRISTMAS (vs. The Red Baron). I have to say this opinion was formulated when I was about six.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The man who wrote it, Ralph Blane, used to sing it for all of us during our practice before singing at Disney's Christmas Candlelight Procession (my choir was selected to sing in it for several years). He was an elderly and frail man, but every year, would climb up to the podium and treat us to his wonderful voice, which was not at all frail. Made me cry every time, and I was a teenager.

There are so many others I just love though... it's really difficult to say a single song is my favorite.

And, Mary, I fondly remember singing "Lo How a.."

I have many favorite Christmas songs so it's too difficult for me to answer this question otherwise. But Glad: An Acappella Christmas (1991) is by far my favorite all-vocal Christmas album, and I have a rather sizable collection of a cappella music.

...which ties in directly with my reply to Jeffrey.
