Christmas and other Holiday Songs

[NOVAHEEL13]

Eazy-E's xmas alblum

 

[gtyellowjacket]

My two favorites are Mariah carey, "All I want for Christmas" and Wham's "Last Christmas". I also like some version that's probably 50 years old at this point of "Baby it's Cold Outside." Don't know who sings it.

Hanukkah begins in two days. Here is my favorite Hanukkah song...

Sandler is the OG genius behind that song, but for sheer musical listening pleasure, it's hard to beat the Neil Diamond cover.

There's no reason that this song should SCREAM MERRY CHRISTMAS the way that it does...

But it does.

Agree 100%. One of my favorites! And I appreciate you posting the original version and not the sanitized for radio play version. Maybe not PC, but let's call it a "cultural artifact".

And man, those teeth. I think a poster on the old board once said that the dentist who went in to fix them referred to it as "the Mount Everest of dentistry".

Did not even imagine that The Carol of The Bells was originally a Ukrainian tune sung as a New Year's song.

OMG !

I was unaware of this and I agree this is such a wonderful listening pleasure.

I confess Neil Diamond is a secret pleasure artist of mine. His " Hot August Night" live concert cd is my only Neil Diamond cd but it is good

Now here is the UNC adopted song by him ( just add an A to Caroline )

 

[Ddseddse]

A Holy Cole cover you might enjoy...

@heelinhell

Did you see this?

 

[Ddseddse]

Annie Lennox's Christmas album 'A Christmas Cornucopia' really scratches my previously mentioned itch for traditional carols.

The whole album top to bottom is outstanding.

@heelinhell

Did you see this?

Is this a new release( not that I care ) but is it on streaming ?
I would love to watch this

I will definitely go see it once it comes out. And Speaking of Neil Diamond movies who's seen Saving Siverman? A classic!

Opens in theaters sometime this month.

I haven't watched a movie in a theater since covid but hopefully I will be able to see if it gets to Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon prime...

And lest I be accused of hijacking the thread off-topic, here's Mahalia Jackson signing Oh Holy Night.

 

[heelinhell]

A Holy Cole cover you might enjoy...

Nice cover !

Joni's " Blue " is on my Mount Rushmore and it brings me to tears every time I play it.
As an aside in a song she makes reference to guy she had a brief relationship who was from Hillsborough,NC

 

[DiehardHeelFan]

For celebrating Christmas with family and friends in the current political climate

 

[Ddseddse]

If you're worried that this Bing Crosby / David Bowie duet won't deliver, don't be. It delivers, in spades.

And did we really get to page 5 without posting this yet?
