[reallygroovN]

all this festivity has me thinking....

what are your favorite holiday tunes? those tunes which make the season brighter when you hear them.

the waitresses - christmas wrapping
cant find an audio file to post (maybe someone else can coughbouliecough ;) but i love the line, "I said, "Me too, but why are you? You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

oh and bruce (of course;) ) - santa claus is coming to town

rock on!

[pj_dad]

the entire "charlie brown christmas" soundtrack

-kj

[jamijams]

the Hanukkah song of course!!!!!

[reallygroovN]

yep and yep to em both :D

hahaha

hey, pjdad, did you catch charlie brown on sunday? then they had a new lame one after it...but the original rocks :cool:

i love when linus recites the true meaning of christmas, charlie brown :) and then when charlie goes to pick out the tree and everyone says, DONT SCREW THIS ONE UP CHARLIE BROWN :confused: :P :O :D

[pj_dad]

yeah...made my two oldest sit down and watch it
("now THIS is a christmas show boys")

[panthergirl]

oooooohhh!!
did you see Bruce on Conan the other night...???? he sang Merry Christmas Baby!! It was GREAT :)

as a nice jewish girl, I must say that I love Christmas music :)
I even like the old corny stuff like the Carpenters ...heehee.
I love the Charlie Brown Xmas soundtrack...etc etc..

[csmooth24]

"...let me sleep its christmas time..."

:D

[prism]

..otay so I only heard it once. but I did really like it so therefore it's my new favorite Christmas tune...sorta :confused: :) :classic: :cheek:

[midnightsyren]

how about the chipmunks christmas album?


"meee i waaant a huuuula hoooooop"

hehhe

[jamijams]

on the chipmunks record - i think my mom still has mine
wow
lol!

[SickForSykora]

Aww come on...... where is Dominick The Donkey on here!!?!? Or is that song just a Jersey thing? :) Hee Haw Hee Haw



I'm a traditional Christmas song gal and I must say that Silent Night and O Holy Night are my favorites.


I have to listen to 8 hours straight of Christmas music 40 hours a week and it drives me nuts. We cant turn the soundtrack off in the store so I hear about 4 different versions of Silver Bells, and I'll Be Home For Christmas each night. Come Christmas Day I might kill the stereo if I hear another song. Sorry to be so pesimistic. lol

For funny Christmas songs, I must say that The Italian 12 Days Of Christmas is my absolute favorite. :) Oh yeah, and Bob and Doug McKenzie's 12 Days of Christmas ain't bad either!

[mensane]

"O Holy Night" would be upthere at the top if it weren't for the fact that for like the last 3 Christmas' my son has gone around singing that in his Cartman voice

"12 days of Christmas" by Bob and Doug. I gotta go download that I haven't heard it in years...take off, you hosers

[rockrighter]

*sings* "FIVE GOLDEN TOQUES!"

[Galiana]

"The Twelve Pains of Christmas" by Bob Rivers Comedy Corporation.

"The first thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me is finding a Christmas tree..."

[rockrighter]

Bob Rivers also does "I AM SANTA CLAUS" to the tune of "Iron Man".

[midnightsyren]

and a beeeeeeeer innn a treee

[prism]

like the last time that my kids spent time with their Dad and he and his roomate decorated the tree with beer cans...how very Canadian of them. :cross:

that was the same year that he(butthead) told his Mom that he wanted a rubbertree for his apartment for Christmas. after hitting every fricken store on Van Island we couldn't find a damn rubbertree plant. so, we finally found this other large-leafed plant and then we headed over to the rubber rainbow and bought a bunch of brightly colored condoms and taped them all over the plant. (the twisted thoughts that spin around my head) it was a huge hit at the big family Christmas gathering :cheek:

[yer ardy]

any christmas song by dean martin.
a guy who can be drunk, smoke and hold a martini, all
while singing is alright by me.

[Om1]

2000 Miles by the Pretenders


Om1

[jamijams]

the pretenders are playing here soon. i think i want to go, though I know it will be alone, which sounds silly but going to a concert alone just sounds so..........LONELY. :(

anyone here seen them before?

[Om1]

No, but you should go alone. I am going to see pearl jam alone this time. You will have a fine time.

[jamijams]

i really like the venue, and i have a feeling it's one i'd really regret missing if i don't go.

the venue: http://www.orsymphony.org/about/theaterinfo/schnitzintro.html

[Om1]

that is a fine venue. It probably has a fantastic ceiling. Sit in your seat and lean back and stare at the ceiling when you get there. Those places always have really incredible ceilings.

Om1

[jamijams]

the ceiling is really great. so are the light fixtures - absolutely beatiful old iron and glass. i love old buildings. it's one of those no bad seat in the house kind of places.

[reallygroovN]

thats really pretty, jami. i miss seeing a concert hall on a regular basis :(


i love these, too:
it was so funny, i pulled out an old christmas tape and there was chris cornell singing ave maria! :O my kids were like, mom, what the HECK is that?

hahaha

no doubt - oi to the world
chris cornell - ave maria
dave matthews band - christmas song
pearl jam - angel
pearl jam - let me sleep
smashing pumpkins - christmastime

and i have to check out:
vandals - christmas time for my penis
a catchy title...kind of like ac/dc's lovely i wanna a mistress for christmas ;)

where was he??? :P

[rockrighter]

At "Rock" 101.1 CFMI in Vancouver. He did a lot of political parodies 'back in the day'.

[csmooth24]

yeah, his stuff gets played all over the place...he was on our 'competitor' 99.9 KISW for a long time, but they didn't want to pay his co-hosts, so he came here...

now WE have him! :D i think he is syndicated in vegas and alaska right now...not sure where he was syndicated when he was with KISW...

but he is GREAT! i can't believe how many CD's he has out...

twisted radio (http://www.twistedradio.com)

[rockrighter]

How could we forget "Deck the Halls with Santa's Balls"? A timeless classic.

[mensane]

speaking of christmas songs.....3 years ago, we were doing the christmas thing with opening presents ect (we being me, my sister, her boyfriend, and my neice- who was 9 months old). anyway, my sister's boyfriend had gotten the south park christmas cd as a joke gift and decided to play it....after awhile, we didnt even notice it was still playing....so, when it came time for kyndal to open her presents, we got out the video camera (it was, after all, her first christmas)......needless to say, kyndal's first christmas will forever have that cd as the background music...:confused:

[reallygroovN]

k

go to www.wmmr.com

click on downloads on the right

right click on the first icon, alan mann's christmas on the block.

download and enjoy

now, THAT is a great christmas song. its about this family from northeast philly, i think, anywho, the family members were blind. but they wanted to make their neighbors happy, so they went hog wild decorating their house with lots of pretty lights and decorations. that is what inspired this song.

:)

and, saney, that is so funny! just wait till she shows that tape to her children ;) :O
