stevestojan Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 That one that U2 did with all the 80's band....I think it's called So this is Christmas. 140764[/snapback] you beat me to it... That song, in all its morbid glory, is really an amazing song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 'Blue Christmas' by Elvis Presley. In fact, "Elvis' Christmas Album" is probably my favorite album/CD of all time. The first half has classics like 'White Christmas', 'I'll Be Home For Christmas', 'Blue Christmas', etc. while the last half has religious/spiritual songs that are both Christmas and gospel. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Southern Man (unregistered gun) Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 i just heard this song on the radio, and i think hes trying to sing "Rudy the Red-Beaked reindeer".... but yea it does sound like hes singing it the other way..... or maybe hes singing about Rudolph's encounter with a virgin? either way thats hilarious 141165[/snapback] That's a plausible explanation. I knew one of y'all would figure it out. It's gotta be "Red-beaked". On the other hand, Rudolph did have a thing for Donner's girl, Clarise. Maybe he had been rubbing up against the "Bumble" and got one of them red lipstick dog woodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I retract my vote: My new vote is for Christmas Time by Bryan Adams. Really. Awesome Song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 No, but I have heard (via the Don and Mike show's annual "Elvis Death Day" show) him doing "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and cracking up while on stage. I'll be on the lookout for the Blue Christmas you're referring to. 140998[/snapback] I miss "Don and Mike". The station here that carried them went under. Too bad. They made the afternoon VERY entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopsGuy Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Honorable mention: any really good tenor singing "O Holy Night". Pavarotti is great, but I've always been partial to Placido Domingo myself.... 141013[/snapback] I'd recommend the Yale singers (Whiffenpoofs?) version of "O Holy Night". A Capella... awesome.

Just Jack Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Well, as long as this thread is already in motion, I need to mention something. I had to make a copy of the Rat Pack Christmas Album for my wife, and I slipped the CD into the car stereo to make sure the newly burned CD copy was playable. While listening to Dean Martin's version of "Rudolph" I noticed something odd. If anyone has the version of him singing Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, please check out the final verse that goes, "Then all the reindeer loved him, as they shouted out with glee...." Martin, who sounds like he'd had a few cocktails during the recording sessions, refers a few times to Rudolph as "Rudy" and then in the final verse after the words "shouted out with glee", sings, "Rudy the RED DICK (or red dicked) reindeer...you'll go down in history". If you have this access to this recording, check it out. Are my ears deceiving me? Please confirm that you're hearing the same thing or is there a better explanation for the lyric he's singing? 140844[/snapback] Heard it just a few minutes ago (on Sirius Channel 4). Because I am at work I couldn't turn it up alot, but he is definitely not saying Red Nosed in that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your favorite? 141380[/snapback] I keep waiting for it to come on Sirius, they played it 3 times yesterday that I heard. I do prefer the "older" hits, sung by people like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, etc. For now, here's what CD's I have of Christmas music: Time-Life Treasury of Christmas 25 All Time Christmas Favorites A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Original Sound Track Recording Of The CBS Television Special Christmas 1984 Christmas Party With Eddie G.
