If you can’t wrap Christmas presents well, at least make it look like they put up a good fight.
Today's theme - our first guest programmer, the birthday girl.
She has an interesting mix this year:
Christmas Time Is Here - Vince Guaraldi Trio
Originally, this was an instrumental piece that Vince Guaraldi wrote to open A Charlie Brown Christmas. About a month before it aired, Lee Mendelson, who produced the special, decided it might work better with some words, so he wrote the lyric in about 10 minutes sitting at his kitchen table.
All I want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey
In terms of airplay (at least in America), this is by far the most successful Christmas song written after 1963, when Bing Crosby recorded Do You Hear What I Hear? The most popular holiday songs on American radio were all written between 1934-1963, with Sleigh Ride (1948), usually the most-played.
All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth - Alvin & The Chipmunks
This novelty Christmas song was written by Don Gardner, who is not to be confused with the vocalist and drummer Don Gardner. After graduating from Westchester University, Pennsylvania, Donald Yetter Gardner and his wife Doris moved to Smithtown, New York where they taught music at the local elementary school.
Merry Christmas - New York Jazz Lounge
The birthday girl want to wish everyone a 'Buon Natale'!
Demand Euphoria!
