Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus!

Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus!

(warning dialup users link is 1.8 meg sound file)

Hate to ruin your fun, but for those who are on dial up, let me spoil it for you: It’s Elvis’ version (or maybe a really good impersonator <shrug>) as an mp3 file. That’s all.

Peace.

Q: What’s worse than a non-desciptive thread title? A: A non-descriptive link.

The OP has:

  1. The fact that it’s a sound file
  2. The soze of the sound file
  3. The name of the song in the sound file

How is that not descriptive?

Considering it’s a song that we’ll all be subjected to over and over again this Christmas season whenever we wander into almost any public establishment, one has to wonder why would anyone start a thread basically saying, “Hey, here’s a link to that song you’re hearing over and over again.”

One then wonders: is this a parody song? Is this something that the OP performed themself? Why is this here?

Then, curiosity getting the better part of me, I check it out.

Oh. It’s Elvis’ version.

Would have been nice to know that in advance. “Here’s Elvis’ version of HCSC!”

Then I could have properly ignored it.

Just doing a favor for others who’ve heard it already or own a copy. They really don’t need to click a link to find out why this version is so threadworthy.

Usually, for a song that gets covered by many artists, knowing the artist is important, and thus fulfills the rules of this forum about descriptive thread titles.

Peace.

How many towns in this world actually have a Santa Claus Lane, anyway? Are street names that hard to come by?
