Let's build a Straight Dope Christmas Spotify list

It was already on the list so you have another one.

Yep, noticed it myself, see my edit.

That video reminds me of a couple of parties I went to in college.
OK got your 3rd one on.

How about “It’s Christmas Time Pretty Baby” by either Elvis or the Honeydrippers?

I see only one version and it is by Jesper Bjarnesen

Yeah, I just checked. Strange. Elvis’ version was pretty popular back in the day. I saw The Honeydrippers play it on SNL, but I guess they never recorded it.

I’ve got two more by Jonathan Coulton:

Podsafe Christmas Song

Christmas is Interesting

ETA: since we’re allowed three at a time I’ll nominate

Blue Xmas Miles Davis and Bob Dorough

Up to 5 hours now. We rock!

We do. I sent a link to a friend and she asked how Rio is a Christmas song. I had no answer for her, but if you do, I’d be grateful.

Payoff is at 2:20. Careful! A few NSFW words.

Okay, that makes perfect sense, now.

(Is that Robert Goulet on the piano?)

Charlotte Church - Mary’s Boy Child
Johnny Mathis - What Child is This?
Sammy Davis Jr. - Sweet Gingerbread Man

I actually have some Christmas music this year! :slight_smile:

I have an orchestral version of “Carol of the Bells”, and “I Saw Three Ships” releasing on Nov 30th. And, a new version of “Auld Land Syne” (I rewrote some of the lyrics to emphasize friendship) on Dec 28th!

They will be under “Jason Bernard”.

Favorites from our home:
“Christmas is the Time to Say, ‘I Love You.’” - Billy Squier
“Merry Christmas Everyone” - Shakin’ Stevens
“We Need a Little Christmas” - Johnny Mathis

Honorable Mention:
“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings” - Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan. McLachlan’s voice when she sings, “Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Worship him, God most high!” makes me wish I believed.

There is a version with her and Jester Hairston. Is that it?

No carols. Sorry.

I’d have to add something from Lorenna McKennnitt’s Midwinter’s Night Dream album.

Awww. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Snow in particular or another one?

A couple more sure!

Greensleeves
The Lady of Shallot
