Holiday Music: The Chipmunks

December 21, 2011

I grew up listening to this song on a record that my dad owned. Every Christmas I would go digging through all the records looking for the Alvin and the Chipmunks when I was young. Lyrics (Dave): Alright you Chipmunks Ready to sing your song? (Alvin): I’d say we are (Theodore): Yeah Let’s sing it now (Dave): Okay, Simon? (Simon): Ok (Dave): Okay, Theodore? (Theodore): Ok (Dave): Okay, Alvin Alvin? Alvin! (Alvin): Okay (Chipmunks): Christmas Christmas time is near Time for toys And time for cheer We’ve been good But we can’t last Hurry Christmas Hurry fast Want a...

Holiday Music: Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

December 20, 2011

Here is another humorous song. Some people think it`s cruel to talk about their grandma being killed, but it`s funny if you are only kidding. Lyrics Grandma got run over by a reindeer walkin’ home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there’s no such thing as Santa. But as for me and Grandpa, we believe. She’d been drinkin’ too much egg nog. And we’d begged her not to go. But she’d forgot her medication, and she staggered out the door into the snow. When we found her Christmas mornin,’ at the scene of the attack. She had...

Holiday Music: Santa Baby

December 19, 2011

This is a funny holiday song. It’s nice to be selfish now and then isn’t it? . Lyrics Santa Baby, Just slip a sable under the tree For me Been an awful good girl Santa Baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight Santa baby, A 54 convertible too Light blue I’ll wait up for you, dear Santa baby, So hurry down the chimney tonight Think of all the fun I’ve missed Think of all the Fella’s that I haven’t kissed Next year I could be just as good If you’ll check out my Christmas list Santa Baby, I want...

Holiday Music: Christmas Shoes

December 18, 2011

This is another sad song but it’s so sweet. I can’t sing it without tearing up. Lyrics It was almost Christmas time There I stood in another line Trying to buy that last gift or two Not really in the Christmas mood Standing right in front of me Was a little boy waiting anxiously Pacing around like little boys do And in his hands he held A pair of shoes And his clothes were worn and old He was dirty from head to toe And when it came his time to pay I couldn’t believe what I heard him...

Holiday Music: Hanson

December 17, 2011

This song always reminds me of a junior high crush. I listened to this so so much during one of those Christmas’s. Just the idea of finding that special someone around Christmas is so romantic. Lyrics Everything’s different But nothing has changed Are we going in circles It’s Christmas again Can’t you hear the sleigh bells ring All our voices unite And look up to the heavens See the stars shining bright Everybody needs a little lovin’ Around Christmas time Somehow you got to know you’re going to be all right Do you really remember how it used to...

Holiday Music: Hard Candy Christmas

December 16, 2011

This is a sad holiday song, but it’s still beautiful. I like the way that Dolly Parton sings this one. Lyrics Hey, maybe I’ll dye my hair Maybe I’ll move somewhere Maybe I’ll get a car Maybe I’ll drive so far They’ll all lose track Me, I’ll bounce right back Maybe I’ll sleep real late Maybe I’ll lose some weight Maybe I’ll clear my junk Maybe I’ll just get drunk on apple wine Me, I’ll be just Fine and Dandy Lord it’s like a hard candy christmas I’m barely getting through tomorrow But still I won’t let Sorrow bring...

Holiday Music: Baby It’s Cold Outside

December 15, 2011

This is another great old Christmas song. It’s such an interesting style of song the way they are having a conversation with each other at the same time. Lyrics Baby It’s Cold Outside I really can’t stay – Baby it’s cold outside I’ve got to go away – Baby it’s cold outside This evening has been – Been hoping that you’d drop in So very nice – I’ll hold your hands, they’re just like ice My mother will start to worry – Beautiful, what’s your hurry My father will be pacing the floor – Listen to the fireplace roar...
