Author Topic: A Very Non-Sync Christmas! Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-22-2002 03:17 PM                     Okay, what songs and/or artists would you put on a Christmas CD for the Non-Sync system? I'm fond of classics like Nat "King" Cole ("The Christmas Song") and The Andrews Sisters ("Christmas Island")... ...But I also like newer stuff like Mariah Carey ("All I Want For Christmas Is You") and almost any track from the original "A Very Special Christmas" album -- especially the U2 version of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)." A few years back, a Christian group called 4-Him released a song called "A Strange Way To Save The World." I believe Michael Crawford also covered this song. The Chipmunk Song ("Christmas Don't Be Late") would be cute for the kids, too. Are you playing anything special for the holiday season?  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-22-2002 03:45 PM                        How about songs from the NSYNC Christmas album for Non-Sync? (I'm surprised nobody beat me to that one.) I like the classics, done by the people who made the songs famous. I should compile a list of my favorites. The order should be randomized rather than being played in this order, of course. This is what I'd start with (my first cut): (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays -- Perry Como -- 1954, 1959 (2 versions) All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth) -- Spike Jones Blue Christmas -- Elvis Presley (1964) Christmas at Ground Zero -- Weird Al Yankovic Christmas in Dixie -- Alabama (1982) Feliz Navidad -- Jose Feliciano (1970) Frosty the Snowman -- Jimmy Durante (1950) Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer -- Elmo and Patsy (1979) Here Comes Santa Claus (Down Santa Claus Lane) -- Gene Autry I'll Be Home For Christmas -- Johnny Mathis It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas -- Johnny Mathis Jingle Bell Rock -- Bobby Helms (1957) Jingle Bells -- Singing Dogs (1955) Mary's Boy Child -- Harry Belefonte (the stereo full-length version) (1956) Nuttin' for Christmas -- Barry Gordon O Little Town of Bethlehem -- Bobby Rivers Comedy Group (to the tune of House of the Rising Sun!!) Parade of the Wooden Soldiers -- Crystals (from the Phil Spector Christmas album 1963?) Please Come Home for Christmas -- Charles Brown (1961) Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree -- Brenda Lee (1960) Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer -- Gene Autry (1949 -- original 1949 version only please) Santa Baby -- Eartha Kitt (1953 -- 10 times better than Madonna's half-hearted rendition from a few years back) Santa Claus is Watching You -- Ray Stevens (Original 1963 full-length album version only please!!!) Silent Night -- Bing Crosby (1935) Silver Bells -- Ray Connif Singers The Chipmunk Song -- Chipmunks with David Seville (1958) The Christmas Song -- Nat King Cole The Little Drummer Boy -- Harry Simeone Chorale The Little Drummer Boy -- Johnny Cash (1959) Twelve Days of Christmas -- Bob and Doug McKenzie White Christmas -- Bing Crosby (1942) White Christmas -- Drifters (1953)  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-22-2002 09:52 PM                     But NOT Snoopy's Bloody Christmas please.  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 11-23-2002 04:20 AM                        Yep , every Christmas "Snoppy" goes to No1 on the charts  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-23-2002 11:37 AM                     One year, Regal's TRN featured the Country hit: "Santa looks a lot like Daddy (and daddy looks a lot like him)" Dunno if this was "Demographic-based" but our town was near a rural area. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Osborne Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Columbus, IN, USA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 11-24-2002 11:50 AM                     Happy X-Mas War Is Over - John Lennon At least it's sort of christmas-y i don't know about the war part  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-24-2002 09:34 PM                        quote: One year, Regal's TRN featured the Country hit: "Santa looks a lot like Daddy (and daddy looks a lot like him)" Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, 1965 ! If you're going to put that in, you might as well add: Will Santy Come to Shanty Town, Eddy Arnold, December 1949 Just please don't put that "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" song that I hear a million times every Christmas! Ugh! I think it's "Wonderful Christmastime", Paul McCartney, 1979, 1984.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-25-2002 03:36 PM                     Dr. Demento's collection of Christmas tunes,plus the Twisted Tunes version of Christmas songs.  |  IP: Logged
