My favorite Christmas song is Greg Lake’s ‘I believe in Father Christmas’ and I am sucker for Wizard and Shaky…
My question is: For my American friends – what Christmas ‘pop’ tunes are played over and over on your radios / TV in the lead up to Christmas?
There are 2 stations that play Christmas music in the area I live in from November to Christmas – and they play everything.
I guess when I think of 'pop' tunes I think:
Santa Baby
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
The Chipmunk Song (Sorry Everyone they just play it all the time!)
Jingle Bell Rock
Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas
White Christmas
Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer
Feliz Navidad
Blue Christmas
Let It Snow (x3)
Merry Christmas Baby
Need More (^.^)
Oh yes.. All you gotta do is go to the American Amazon and look up Christmas Collection CDs and that'll give you a good list. From Pop, to country.. to anything.
Other gorgeous ones are the groups – Manheim Steamroller & Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Others are:
Happy Christmas (War is Over) – John Lennon
The CHristmas Song – Nat King Cole
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (any version)
Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Bruce SPringsteen version)
All I want for Christmas is You – Mariah Carey
12 Days of Christmas – Straight No Chaser
I have to agree with Nicole and Freddy they all play the same song. Every now and then you can get a station that slips in a little Bob Rivers Twisted Christmas CD or a little beach boys holiday song. But here in the states it is the same thing every year.
