Tales From The Crypt has a good collection of Christmas classics like Deck the Halls with Parts of Charlie. My all-time favorite though is still Ding Fries Are Done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvvHXjKloNs
Non-Standard Christmas/Holiday Music I like, ..and yours?
Yes, there is no denying Nat Cole, Bing Crosby and many other well know and well loved Christmas/Holiday songs/albums. And with that said, are there any Christmas/Holiday albums/CD/SACD/etc. that you feel are part of the season for you and yours?
Mine would be from Tuck Andress, Anne Murray (yes..Anne Murray), Nancy Wilson, Jo Stafford, Johnny Mercer, Margaret Whiting, Les Paul, Vince Guarldi and several more.
Nancy Wilson's "What are You Doing for New Year's"...yes a "holiday" song can sound sensual, The Canadian Brass, The Four Seasons, and for something further out...Gloria Estefan doing "Christmas Through Your Eyes".....which is all about what the holiday is all about, Children.
Please share yours.

I have never been a fan of much pop/contemp Christmas music. Pretty much like the old standards. However, JD McPherson's Christmas album "Socks" is a lot of fun. And this from MAD Magazine....decades ago: We three clods from Omaha are Spending Christmas Eve in a car Driving, drinking, Glasses clinking, Who needs a lousy bar? |
Mehdi Christmas Treasures.......you can get jiggy with it ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enRc-XaMGEE&list=OLAK5uy_ktqsY2Nk1LIo7jgIAjCXqdk7UQ8gxmgoc |
