[ButThreeLeftsDo]

And you posted this in “NEWS”.

[Revolting cat!]

Rancid - Christmas Eve (She Got Up And Left Me)

[FlJoePa]

Just a dreadful list. Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime? Srsly? Every single song on 1) Nat King Cole 2) Dean Martin 3) Frank Sinatra and 4) Glen Campbell's most popular Christmas albums are 10 times better than that crap.

Glen Campbell - Little Toy Trains

[reed13k]

Silent night by Bing Crosby didn’t make the list he and his producer stated it sold more than white Christmas and there was some glitch in the sales numbers that made it appear white Christmas was higher. Just heard the story repeated yesterday on the radio.

Sometime soon, my son will call and start singing this song when I answer. I will have to hold back laughing as long as I can, he actually has quite a good voice, and we will then talk about the incident that Merry Christmas From the Family, by Robert Earl Keen, reminds us of. We can relate! Literally.
My husband hates the song and is not particularly amused. He does not like being reminded of a visit that was crazy from get go and cost him a game he had to forgo. Different strokes etc. LOL.

[Clay Moore]

Robert says in one of his music videos that he merely put music to what he witnessed at one of his family gatherings.

[SomeCallMeTim]

My three favorites seem to be missing:

1) John Denver- Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas!

2) Various - I’ll be Home for Christmas

3) Springsteen - Santa Clause is Comin to Town

[Fiji Hill]

Songs that should have made the list:

• Rock and Roly Poly Santa Claus--Lillian Briggs (1955)

• Elvis for Xmas--Mad Milo (1957)

• I Want to Spend Christmas With Elvis--Marlene Paul (1956)

• Santa Meets the Purple People Eater--Sheb Wooley (1958)

• Yulesville--Edd Byrnes (1959)

[Fiji Hill]

This yuletide rocker also belongs on the list:

Christmas Time Blues--Roy Milton & His Solid Senders (1950)

[Figment]

” Christmas Wrapping “ by the Waitresses didn’t make the list? Best original Christmas song of the last 40 years

[Figment]

gotta look that one up

[Figment]

Not to mention “Please Daddy Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas” by John Denver

[Figment]

Gonna be pissed if I can’t find that one on the net

[Figment]

Christmas Wrapping is a great song

[Mr. Wright]
