Post subject: | Christmas without the cheese |
Right lovely friends. Need to do a Christmas playlist for a get together on Saturday. I need suggestions for non-cheesy Christmas songs and I've got this so far: Have yourself a merry little Christmas – Sam Smith (well, there will be teenagers there and at least they've heard of him) Shake Hands with Santa Claus – Louis Prima Winter Wonderland – Ella Fitzgerald Santa Claus is coming to town – the Crystals Merry Christmas baby – Otis Redding I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus – The Ronnettes Gee Whiz, It's Christmas – Carla Thomas Baby, It's Cold Outside – Dean Martin What Christmas Means to me – Stevie Wonder Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me – Elvis Blue Christmas – Elvis Jingle Bell Rock – Bobby Helms White Winter Hymnal – Fleet Foxes It's the most wonderful time of the year – Andy Williams The Christmas Song – Nat King Cole Run Rodolph Run – Chuck Berry Frosty the Snowman – the Ronnettes Little Saint Nick – the Beach Boys Santa Baby – Eartha Kitt Rocking around the Christmas Tree – Brenda Lee Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight – the Ramones Christmas – Darlene Love Winter wonderland – Darlene Love Sleigh Ride – the Ronnettes Christmas Wrapping – the Waitresses Fairytale of New York – Pogues and Kirsty. I would've done you H, on the Silent Night thing, but you haven't recorded it so I can't. And don't suggest Mud or Shakin' Stevens. Or Wham. Any more suggestions? Nothing maudlin that will make me cry or get me on the gin because that won't be pretty. Nothing rude cos I have to think of the children. And nothing that is too religious (although I don't mind taking it to the church in an Aretha type way). Besides, we haven't had a good game on here for a while. Not since the cock beaker thing. x |

There's an official Silent Night recording which was given away to those attending the City Hall gig in December 2006. It was also included on Mojo Festive Fifteen album in 2011 (lots of copies available on e-bay) http://www.mojocovercds.com/cd/331 |

Jeez Eoin, that's awful!! But I did discover a Motown Christmas on the search engine – don't ask me what they've got to do with it but it's a tip that paid off, in a roundabout stylee. The Sonics is an add, taa H. And Pops, I'm always in two minds about the Wham thing – the song is proper pants but I quite like George Michael, secretly. Pot smoking camp bloke with big hair. What's not to like? Am collecting for my local foodbank Saturday so I thought I'd get a bit of a wiggle on among the tins of beans. xxxx |
