The mp3 is available as a FREE and LEGAL download from the Bloodshot Records website: http://DarkChristmas.notlong.com – MrJM http://twitter.com/misterjayem - Lake Voter - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 1:54 pm: Not a Christmas song but it is the same season. Adam Sandler Chanukah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrd9p47MPHg - Matt G. - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 1:56 pm: David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing Little Drummer Boy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKTHvW2JcAA - 47th Ward - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 1:59 pm: I put my request in yesterday, and it stands. I like all of the traditional Christmas/holiday tunes, it’s the soundtrack of the season. One major exception though, and Rich, I beg you to resist the urge: Bob Dylan’s Little Drummer Boy. It sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks on qualludes. As Jose would say, “no es bueno.” - Barton Lorimor - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 2:07 pm: Call me old fashioned, but I am still a fan of the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. If I had to pick one track, I’d say “Christmas Time is Here.” Btw, my name is Barton. I am in the process of moving to Springfield for the next six months to intern at Capitol Fax. I look forward to meeting everyone after the holidays. - MrJM - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 2:13 pm: For Barton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGnYw-OuCnI - Indianbadger - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 2:14 pm: Grandma got run over by a Reindeer TIED with Police lock me up! - Pot calling kettle - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 2:26 pm: Suzy Snowflake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdYDdm3fZiM - Pot calling kettle - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 2:28 pm: This one is better quality!

Why in the world would anyone try to do it any better? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_W7p35SzuI - Pale Rider - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 2:55 pm: Silent Night by Stevie Nicks - Middle of the Road - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:03 pm: The great jazz version of The Christmas Song by Dexter Gordon–pure bliss. - dupage dan - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:13 pm: White Christmas by Irving Berlin. The 1st song I learned on my trumpet in 4th grade. One of my all time favorite holiday movies as well. - You Go Boy - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:16 pm: “All I want for Christmas is You” sung by Lisa Layne….superb. - hawksfan - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:18 pm: the eagles-please come home for christmas. - soccermom - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:18 pm: Love the Charlie Brown soundtrack. And the “Razzleberry Dressing” song from the Magoo Christmas Carol. And Burl Ives singing “Silver and Gold” from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Ya know, maybe Mother was right when she said I watched too much tv…. - Jaded - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 3:59 pm: Trying not to choose some of my favorites that have already been taken I will vote for “White Christmas” by the Drifters, and “Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms from the first Lethal Weapon. - CircularFiringSquad - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 4:56 pm: It might be too scary for the anti-Thomson fraidy cats but Jimi Hendrix silent night smokes. - paddyrollingstone - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 5:10 pm: Fairytale of New York - “It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank . . .” - kimsch - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 5:44 pm: O Holy Night, followed by Angels We Have Heard on High and Mary, Did You Know. - T.J. - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 7:43 pm: Best ever is either “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole or his version of “O Holy Night.” Worst ever is “Last Xmas” by anybody. - Rambler - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 8:03 pm: I like most all the traditional songs depending on the occasion, but Adeste Fideles is very moving. On the flip side, Feliz Navidad may be the worst (sorry). - Shane Macgowan's AA sponsor - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 9:25 pm: ““It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank . . .” ” ‘an old man said to me, won’t see another one… and then ‘e sang a song, THE RARE OLD MOUNTAIN DEW! I turned my face away. And dreamed about…you.’ (Look ma, no Google!) - Shane Macgowan's AA sponsor - Tuesday, Dec 15, 09 @ 9:27 pm: This is my favorite from the Kinks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjaPXihbORk Followed by a close 2nd one from the Ramones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mfS4ZqMKR8 - wordslinger - Wednesday, Dec 16, 09 @ 8:33 am: Another vote for Nat King Cole. Every time I hear the Christmas song, I have a Proustian rush of memories of Decembers past, and all the loved ones who have gone home. - Dead Head - Wednesday, Dec 16, 09 @ 8:57 am: Another Christmas Song by Stephen Colbert - smarty pants - Wednesday, Dec 16, 09 @ 9:23 am: The best ever is Frank Sinatra’s “Jingle Bells”. Shake a martini and swing with Frank. Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
