C&L's Late Nite Music Club with Dean Martin
I love Christmas music...but especially ones that aren't particularly Christmas-sy. Maybe it's the years of being in the school choir and being forced to sing Handel's Messiah and Joy to the World. Give me something bouncy and fun over solemn and reverent every time.
This song always makes me smile and I love Dean Martin's voice. My kids prefer the Leon Redbone/Zooey Deschanel version from the movie, "Elf"
What is your favorite holiday music?
"Walkin' Round in Women's Underwear" on the Bob Rivers Show. Master list here: http://www.bobrivers.com/audiovault/tunes/xma...
First?
"Courtesy is owed. Respect is earned. Love is given." --Unknown author, found in Guide to Texas Etiquette by Kinky Friedman
you know I was posting that?
Lyrics on all the songs on that site. Here's the song I mentioned. I actually blew a job I wanted because I sang this at the Christmas volunteer party...
Walkin' 'Round in Women's Underwear
(Parody of Walking in a Winter Wonderland)
Lacy things the wife is missin'
Didn't ask for her permission
I'm wearing her clothes
Her silk pantyhose
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
In the store there's a teddy
With little straps like spaghetti
It holds me so tight
Like handcuffs at night
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
In the office there's a guy named Melvin
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown
He'll say "Are you ready?" we'll say "Whoa, man!
Let's wait until the wife is out of town"
Later on if you wanna
We can dress like Madonna
Put on some eye shade
And join the parade
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
Lacy things...missin'
Didn't ask...permission
Wearing her clothes...Silk pantyhose
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear
"Courtesy is owed. Respect is earned. Love is given." --Unknown author, found in Guide to Texas Etiquette by Kinky Friedman

I love that song! And thanks for the lyrics, MaryK. This song is a true classic.
May be this. Dean Martin's voice was like hot molasses. Or somehthing.
I prefer the Louis Armstrong version, although the Brian Setzer one is righteous too.
Mannheim Steamroller - "Joy to the World", followed closely by "Hark the Herald Angels Sing". Enough energy to get me through Christmas, even with my bad back.
".....and may all your Chrimsises be white."
Pretenders 2000 Miles

Fine guitar picking like that and perky dancing girls are always cool.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZRHExTJb5w&fm... (this is just pt 1...i prefer to hear it with a boys choir, and youtube doesnt have one...when i was young, and had a voice, i performed this with the sf boys chorus, the sf symphony choir, sf symphony orchestra under maestro seiji ozawa....truly brilliant)
What an awesome song list. And yes, Seiji Ozawa is outstanding.
Thanks for all those tunes!
All the best to you this season and in 2009.
