The lyrics to "baby it's cold outside" were discussed in one my lectures last year: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/shehim/babyitscoldoutside.html

 

"Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there

Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there

I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now

To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no - Mind if I move in closer?"

 

I still like the song even though two lines suggest getting a girl drunk to get her in the mood. Strange eh for such a seemingly nice song! lol

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire). Especially Nat King Cole's version.

 

 

Gene Autry's version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

This is my favourite Christmas song. Nothing gets me in the Christmas mood then hearing this song. Not sure why since there are some depressing parts.

 

 

Here is my second favourite. There are so many versions but this was one I remembered when I was a kid.

My first contribution to this thread is from probably my favorite Christmas CD, by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.

 

Once Upon a Christmas.

For some reason I just love king Julien from Madagascar. I don't remember where I heard this from but I think it's a cute song. Santa Clause is coming to Madagascar.

For an incredible laugh ...Go to Google and type in "Blue Christmas Seemore Swine" This is of

course an absolutely hysterical version of Blue Christmas sung in the voice of Porky Pig. Breathing may prove difficult if you're shit faced when you hear it

Well I must say I love all the traditional carols that sound great with a full choir, but my warped side, and eclectic tastes also have a couple of favourites

 

The Pogues with the late Kristy McColl singing The Fairytale of New York

 

And a new one that I think is great by the Dropkick Murphys- The Season's Upon Us

I really love the Huron Carol, and Tom Jackson does a great version

 

 

I also really like this version of I Saw Three Ships by Bruce Cockburn

 

 

And of course, who doesn't want a hippopotamus for Christmas? (I actually find this song quite irritating, but my kids loved it)

I always love hearing The Gift, by Garth Brooks. You can listen to it here:

For a chuckle, I always go fall back on Daddy's Beer, by Dave Gunning. It's a story of Christmas morning from the child's perspective: Daddy stays in bed all Christmas day because he's sad that Santa drank all his beer instead of the mild and cookies! Somehow, it hits close to home for me!
