Whats the single track that you associate most with your Xmas ?
Mine's Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney (!?!?!)
Me and my sister HATED this song when we were younger... HATED IT! It filled us with Christmas rage and resentment.
But now when I hear it, it gets me all happy and nostalgic...
:oof:

Or Vince Guaraldi "Christmas Time Is Here" - cliche but the best fucking jawn ever. He's a good man.
Another jawn that is XMAS is Johnny Hartman & John Coltrane album. Always got run at my house during the XMAS time. Lush Life isn't a very cheerful song and all but still, fuck it.
And of course James Brown.
Sorry, I know that's not ONE song. Oh well, I'm Jewish anyway.
Mainly because it was the bed music for Newbury Comics Christmas ads every single year. Not mad though. Not mad at all.
I'd listen to that song on the 4th of july.
that and Fairytale of New York.
This, backed with Otis singing White Christmas...
Almost 17 yrs ago one on our radio stations was changing formats during Christmas so from 2 days before Christmas til the day after Christmas the station ran 5 songs on a loop: Shaq "I got skillz", Garth Brooks "Friends in low places", Barry Manilow "Copacabana" and 2 others (I can't remember what). So, with everyone drinking and having a good time we put that station on for laughs. The one that stuck with me was "Copacabana". This was also one of the last Christmas' that my whole family was all together (that following year my older brother moved away and several relatives pasted). So, every time I manage to hear that song it reminds me of one of the best Christmas' I've ever had.
OK, now rip me apart with the jokes.
Haha. Love it!
Its funny how things can stick with you. Things you weren't even expecting to at the time.
My brother and I and my aunt's two girls were close growing up, like siblings. I remember watching a Rudolph cartoon for my younger cousin's first birthday after we had gotten together for a birthday/holiday party. I was 4.5 at the time and as the oldest, I think I'm the only one that remembers. It was one of my earliest and best childhood memories.
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee
That shit reminds me of Lethal Weapon more than it does XMAS.
funny, it wasnt until i had a conversation with Buck65 about his work with Jerry Granelli that a gained a much higher appreciation for the Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack, i didnt even know that he was the drummer in the band until Rich mentioned it, i only met Jerry a few times but i was never able to get my Charlie Brown album signed...dude is a sick drummer!
its the one album that reminds me Christmas is on its way...
Yeah, I'm a sucker for the Pumpkins.
breez, that story made my day haha. i lol'd.
Ray Charles - I'm Busted ( because I certainly will be after the holidays are over ).
So dead-on. I could never could understand why certain family members; speaking generally and hearing the same from others all the time - always have to make the holidays so tense and competitive. Please to observe the time when people chill the fuck out and leave the catty drama for another time. Thank you!
