More of Tan's Christmas Music That Doesn't Suck.

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is a simple song, expressing a simple, heartfelt wish. To me, it sounds best with a simple arrangement. Say a puppet and a folk singer with a wonky piano...

Or, a jazz piano virtuoso, playing and singing with a traditional jazz quartet. My favourite rendition, Diana Krall:

Good Evening @TANSTAAFL58

Hello RJ

 

[Rj_1954]

Hello RJ

I'm watching "A Motown Christmas" on TV
I like motown songs. There my era...

 

[BrendaBear]

I like motown songs. They’re my era...

…I thought that would be songs of the American Revolution

*sneaks out while giggling away*

I think this version is the best. RIP Karen. Such a sad thing, she left us way to soon. Her voice makes me tear up.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by The Carpenters

Slow Christmas song for today (Lady's Choice)

Call Me For Christmas by Gary U.S. Bonds

 

[vastiesmith10]

And, the R&R Christmas song for today features Darlene Love

Winter Wonderland by Darlene Love.
This album changed Christmas music forever in a good way. It took my dad's old slow Christmas songs and made them into R&R songs for future generations!

One more Country meets crazy

Run Run Rudolph Brad Paisley and Steven Tyler

Hey Brenda, how about that garter play!

[BrendaBear]

Okay... I'm back from my business trip and want to relax and dance around my living room.

And while I have posted this song multiple times, I just love it. Great feel, great lyrics, a really great message and as a weird bonus for me, I think the car they drive in the video is almost exactly like what my parents took on their honeymoon a million years ago. A red, '59 Buick convertible... it was a pretty new car then.

Now.. where's @AlwaysDancing ?

The Go Go's - Our Lips Are Sealed.

 

[BrendaBear]

Speaking of @AlwaysDancing ....

The Hooters - And We Danced

 

[BrendaBear]

I'm still in the mood for dancing around my living room... good thing my house has good insulation and a big yard so the neighbors aren't bothered....

@AlwaysDancing

Smash Mouth - Walkin' On The Sun

I actually remember hearing this cranked up at a skating ring back in the day.

Is this dance-able for you @AlwaysDancing ?
