Christmas Carols: Oh Little Town of Bethlehem; See Amid the Winters Snow and Joy to the World

I'm going to see the pogues live in Belfast on the 22nd of Dec..  ;D

Their best ever performance was at the heineken festival at Southsea castle about 18 years ago.  I was performing with another band playing the bodhran, they liked my style and asked me to join them on stage for a few numbers. Afterwards in the green room they suggested that I ought to join them on tour, but I was contracted with another band so I missed out. I was a bit of a beer pig then so god knows how I would have ended up with their constant drinking.

I love Christmas Rapping by The Waitresses and I Wish it Could Be Christmas Every Day because you can hear the kids' Brummy accents!

Carols wise I love 3 Kings From Persian Lands - only heard once since I left school so I sing it to myself each Christmas, Silent Night, plus all the carols we're doing at my choir's Christmas concert on Monday, even the Ukrainian 1, currently being used in an advert on the telly!

Thanks for the welcome Manicscousers  ;D ;D

(I'd never heard of Wierd Al before but my eldest introduced me to his songs a couple of years ago.)

[manicscousers]

I love his version of thriller and the e bay song  ;D ;D

[banshee]

Yes and his take of the Avril Lavine song Complicated, Al's version = Constipated, Yoda and a whole host of others. Beats some of the rubbish out nowadays.

As for other Christmas Songs I quite like the traditional Christmas Carols myself. :)

Whatever happened to the christmas songs that all came out during the 60's and 70's?  The christmas CD's seem to have just abandoned them in favour of the more recent ones!

I like most christmas songs, particularly Boney M's 'Mary's Boy Child', all of the traditional carols and Joshua Whats-his-name's 'Home for Christmas'.  They just remind me of when christmas was really special!!
