TOP FIVE: Holiday Songs
Katy Miller
May 10, 2007
When
the weather gets chilly nothing is better than curling up on the couch
next to fire, and listening to one’s favorite holiday songs. These
songs will put anyone in the holiday spirit.
Christmas Time Is Here
This
song is a cute and sweet. To anyone who has seen A Charlie Brown
Christmas, it will instantly remind them of the Peanuts kids holding
hands and singing around the christmas tree. Artist - Vince Guaraldi Trio
Album - A Charlie Brown Christmas Sound track
Best lyric- "
Snowflakes in the air, Carols everywhere, Olden times and ancient rhyme."
The Chanukah Song
If any holiday song can make one laugh, this is it. It has hilarious rhymes, and parodies celebrities in the process.
Artist - Adam Sandler
Album - What the ‘Heck’ Happened to Me
Best lyric- "
Hanukkah is the festival of lights, Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights."
You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch
This song comes from the movie,
How the Grinch Stole Christmas, about
a mean spirited reject Who, who tries to ruin Christmas. This song may
only appeal to those who have seen the film, but either way it makes
the list for the top five holiday songs. Artist - Boris Karloff
Album - How the Grinch Stole Christmas Sound track
Best Lyric -
"You’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch! I wouldn’t touch you With a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!"
Santa Baby
This
song is sultry; with lyrics that infer the seduction of Santa Claus,
and the buying of many expensive gifts. And surely imagining Marilyn
Monroe as Mrs. Claus will make any gentleman have a happy holiday
season. Artist - Marilyn Monroe
Album
- The Very Best of Marilyn Monroe
Best lyric -
"Come
and trim my Christmas tree, With some decorations bought at Tiffany’s"
I really do believe in you, Let’s see if you believe in me."
Blue Christmas (cover)
This
song has sad themes, but is a great holiday love song. It boasts of
lost love and refers to Christmas as ‘blue’ because a beloved person
will not be there. Artist - Bright Eyes
Album
- A Christmas Album
Best Lyric -
"yeah, you’ll be doin’ alright, with your Christmas so white, but I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas."
