[Abin Sur]

42. Worst. Christmas. Song. Ever.

And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom. Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you.

Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived. If the table was turned would you survive?

Way to spread the holiday cheer, Bono!

[roguevalley]

47. bob geldoff wrote that. bono asked him if hw really

Wanted that in it and Bob said yes, discomfit the comfortable.

[Abin Sur]

53. The problem with that being the it doesn't discomfit me in the slightest.

I don't feel the slightest bit of guilt...I just roll my eyes.

"A Spaceman Came Traveling", by Chris De Burgh.

[NorthCarolina]

31. Wow...never heard that before but I really like it.

Here's my new favorite....

[Aristus]

46. Chris De Burgh recorded that song in about 1974.

It's been around forever. It's a favorite among his long-time fans. Most people really only know him for "The Lady In Red".

38. I love "The Christmas Waltz"

/nt

Most versions are lovely, but I did hear one that was awfully slow -- not quite 3/4 time!!! lol!

[stevedeshazer]

39. Darlene Love last night on Letterman

[DinahMoeHum]

40. "Do You Hear What I Hear?" (a song for peace on earth)

The song was composed in October 1962 in the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis, when it seemed to the writers (Noel Regney and Gloria Shayne Baker) that nuclear war was imminent. I recall hearing Bing Crosby and then Andy Williams singing it when I was a child. Since then, of course, many other artists have performed this song; IMO, one of the better versions these days is by country singer Carrie Underwood.

[HuckleB]

41. The most perfect progressive Christmas song of all time: White Wine In The Sun by Tim Minchin
