This song will never be at the top of my list of favorite Christmas songs, but I do love it very much and to me, there would most definitely be an unfilled in blank if I didn’t hear it at least once during Christmas time. Go here for the video that was made for “Leroy The Redneck Reindeer” from country singer Joe Diffie.
Oh man…when I hear ol Bruce Springsteen’s gravelly old voice come on the radio and sing Santa Clause is Coming to Town…oh man…thats where its at. And I normally don’t get into the Christmas spirit, but holy crap does that song just hit home for me.
Exact same thing happens with Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War is Over)
I was at a bar/restaurant last Friday, and the background sound system was playing a somewhat familiar tune. I had to strain to pick out the words, over the noise in the building. It was “Christmas Wrapping,” but it was a cover.
How can anybody cover perfection? Heresy, that’s what it was. I have no idea who was singing it, or what vile pit of iniquity the recording came from. I was too shocked to discover anyone other than The Waitresses had ever recorded that song.
So, yeah. That’s a good one. Also “Carol of the Bells” says it’s Christmastime, to me.
