Favourite Christmas Songs!

[sallythescorpian]

I thought it'd be in the Christmas spirit to have a thread for Christmas Songs, so join in post your favourites!

And the first time I've said it this year

Merry Christmas!

My favourite Christmas song, of all time is

Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty McColl.

Be warned, Shane McGowen, lead singer with the Pogues has a face made for radio!!!

It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me: won't see another one
And then they sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away and dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I´ve got a feeling
This year´s for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
Where all our dreams come true.

They got cars big as bars
They got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It´s no place for the old
When you first took my hand on a cold christmas eve
You promised me broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome you were pretty
Queen of new york city when the band finished playing they yelled out for more
Sinatra was swinging all the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night.

And the boys from the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out for christmas day.

You´re a bum you´re a punk
You´re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy christmas your arse I pray god it´s our last.

And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day.

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can´t make it out alone
I´ve built my dreams around you

And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
And the bells are ringing out
For christmas day.

All I Want For Christmas Is You

Yes, it's by Mariah. Bow down.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby

I don't want a lot for Christmas

Santa Baby

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
And 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 fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

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

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on a phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight

Haha, that one came on the radio twice yesterday while I was looking for parking. I almost went crazy.

[Ahren]

Honestly I'd die happy if I never heard another Christmas song.

 

[zydrate]

Honestly I'd die happy if I never heard another Christmas song.

We can always count on your negativity Ahren.

 

[FuckFantasy]

Honestly I'd die happy if I never heard another Christmas song.

If either of us lived where there was snow on the ground, I'd find a way to throw a snowball at you.

 

[Kat73]

Carol of the Bells is one of my favorites. We sang it in choir when I was in 6th grade.

But I do have to go to hymns when I think of my favorites to hear and sing at Cristmas...

Joy to the World
Silent Night
Angels We Have Heard on High
O Come all ye Faithful
God Rest ye Mary Gentlemen

They bring back the warm and fuzzies from family Christmases past...

And then there's Bob Rivers...

My brother loves this one. You two seem to have very similar music tastes. He also mocks me for liking Mariah. I just can't stand scream-o though.

Anyway, I should reward you for playing nice for once. ;D

 

[Ahren]

scream-o?

 

[FuckFantasy]

scream-o?

My comment was poorly written, sorry. He loves screamo (scream-o?) and death metal and all that stuff, and I hate it. I know the link you posted doesn't fall in that category, I was just inarticulately tacking on my disdain for his genres of choice.

And in case you're actually asking what it is, it's 'hardcore punk rock'. This is one of my brother's FAVORITE songs. He plays it constantly:

It makes me want to drive my car into the ocean.

 

[Ahren]

That's fucking awful. Yeah, I'm not into punk at all.

Also any death metal I listen to is usually filed under melodic or symphonic death metal.

That link is just noise. Granted it's a live show probably recorded on a cell phone so that doesn't help it any.

 

[FuckFantasy]

That's fucking awful.

Thank you! Ugh.

The only reason I associate your music taste with his is that I remember you posting a few songs over the summer that my brother loves.

And it IS just noise. Trust me, the shitty quality is a blessing; you don't want to hear every ridiculous growl and scream in HQ.

Sally, forgive the detour!

Frank Sinatra - The Christmas Song

This is the only version of the song I can possibly stand.

Love this one too!
