"I Won't Be Home for Christmas" Blink 182
(Hy-larious. Please listen.)
"Wizards in Winter" Trans-Siberian Orchestra
(Please listen to this also- it just rocks so hard. The band played this after I had graduated, and a student played lead guitar.)
"Merry Christmas, Baby" Bruce Springsteen
(The great BRUCE on the Conan O'Brian Show)
"Do They Know It's Christmastime" Band Aid
(Musicians saving the world!)
"Eight Days of Christmas" Destiny's Child
"The Chanukah Song" Adam Sandler
"All I Want for Christmas is You" Mariah Carey
"Carol of the Bells" TSO again
(We played this once in band. Imagine our conductor, who has a Santa beard, playing a green electric guitar. It was wicked.)
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" The Temptations
"Sleigh Ride" Instrumental- I really wish I knew who did this arrangement
(I don't know who these people are)
"Mistletoe Jam" Luther Vandross
(Listen to the first 40 seconds. Very funny)
Now just add every classic Christmas song (except for "Still, Still, Still) and that's the complete list of my favorites. Happy Christmas!

I Want a Hippopatomus for Christmas is the most superior of all holiday songs. Your list lacks only hippopatomuses to be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love ALL THESE SONGS.
ReplyDeleteWhile I too am outraged by the lack of Hippo representation here, I must give you mad props for leading this off with the Blink song that encapsulates my feelings toward the holidays.
