The chipmunks! Oh...I can hear them now! *smirk*
ReplyDeleteHa! I heard the Chipmunk's song earlier this afternoon. Love the Trans-Siberian one, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteKate Bush does Christmas? This I've got to hear.
ReplyDeleteAlice, it's a rare-ish b-side, which is on her boxed set. I have no idea if it's available anywhere else!
ReplyDeleteWe own The Chipmunks Christmas DVD. I hear that song CONSTANTLY. Great list there Dayle.
ReplyDeleteI know that version of "All I want" is on YouTube.

Found it. Olivia Olsen
I keep hearing about TSO and figure I need to see about catching them next year if they're in our area. I really enjoy Manheim Steamroller but I haven't heard any of the TSO stuff yet.
ReplyDeleteTake off, eh! I love, love, love Bob & Doug McKenzie's 12 Days of Christmas (and a beer...)
Thanks for a fun list, Dayle!
No - I don't hate ya - it's actually on my iPod.
ReplyDeleteWhat I DON'T have are the Styx tunes - I can't find them anywhere - HELP DAYLE HELP!!
TSO is my favourite Xmas music since I discovered them five years ago. Saw them in Toronto this year - they were simply amazing!!
