Kickin' It Old Skool Blog-A-Thon #16

Today Jamie and Shannon say:
Share with us some of your favourite songs!
OMG IMPOSSIBLE! My musical tastes are so broad & varied I could stop breathing easier than I could pick a FAVORITE - or even a *few* favorites! However, since we're in the midst of the holiday season, I think I could come up with a few favorite holiday songs. In no particular order...

♥ Carol of the Bells. This is my favorite holiday song of all time. I love it so much that I have a CD that I burned with nothing but different versions of this song on it. (OMG I can't find itttt!!!! D,:) Trans-Siberian Orchestra does my favorite version, but The Piano Guys, Pentatonix, and even Wil Vinton do some great versions.


♥ Santa Baby. Madonna does my favorite version, but I love Eartha Kitt's, even her follow up song, This Year's Santa Baby.


♥ Feliz Navidad. This one always must follow Santa Baby; that was the way it was on the Christmas tape and that's just how I expect them to be! Lots of good memories of singing this one while dashing through the snow...


♥ Soul Cake. This is one of my more recent favorites, released by Sting in 2009 on his If on a Winter's Night... album.


♥ Last Christmas. Yes, as a child of the 80s I can't help but love this song. I am not so sure about the new versions that are coming out now, but I do like Hilary Duff's version.


♥ Good King Wenceslas. This is one you hear on the radio or anything, but growing up it was one of the songs I taught myself to play on the piano. I love the staccato words with the melodic breaks. (I love the scene where Sheldon sang it on Big Bang Theory!)


♥ Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. I didn't even know this song until I met Jacqueline and the kids. It was their favorite, and they would sing it every year. ♥♥♥


♥ Christmas is Coming. John Denver & the Muppets, A Christmas Together was one of my favorite Christmas specials and holiday records as I was growing up. This one always makes me smile & giggle.


♥ Jingle Bells. Oh yes, the traditional song that bored everyone to tears! But I love this version by Barbara Streisand...


♥ You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. Another holiday favorite. This clip is right from the TV show...
