OK, seriously; The Gold Standard (with backstory): [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9lpSlo7zHY"]YouTube- Mel Torme's Christmas Song[/ame] With Judy Garland, and a first stanza I had not heard before: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOQ4JxPDXIU"]YouTube- The Christmas Song - Mel Torme and Judy Garland[/ame]
...and what might just be the best cover: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_W7p35SzuI&feature=related"]YouTube- The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole (HQ Audio)[/ame] Nat King Cole had a habit of making every song he covered distinctly "his."
You obviously dont get the same Christmas song in America as we do in Britain I like these songs Do They Know Its Christmas Time by Band Aid Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade and I was Born on Christmas Day - St Etienne
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=830d_-z82tI"]YouTube- Sesame Street: True Blue Miracle[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd5PEVKuAro"]YouTube- Sesame Street: Keep Christmas With You[/ame] I like to throw in some of my childhood favorites.
