The other song is a mashup featured in the blockbuster movie “Pitch Perfect 2.” The talent and the sheer awesomeness of both of their voices always puts this song atop of my queue. Grande wrote this almost 10 years ago and it still graces the charts this time of year, every year. “Santa Tell Me” is one of the most iconic holiday songs ever and it is one of a kind. This one was so hard to choose, so I did not choose. Seriously, when is Adam Sandler getting his debut in Starbucks?įavorite Holiday Song: “Santa Tell Me” by Ariana Grande or “Winter Wonderland/Here Comes Santa Claus” by Snoop Dogg and Anna Kendrick Least Favorite Holiday Song: Store Christmas musicĭo not get me wrong, I get down to some Christmas music, but after a few weeks of hearing it everywhere I go, it starts to get old. To my Jew crew, we do not have Christmas trees or reindeer, but we do have eight days of ‘funnikah!’ I love to play this song and eat some challah bread during the Hanukkah season. The reason this song is my least favorite is because no one wants to listen to a song about an emotionally abusive alcoholic father on Christmas.įavorite Holiday Song: “The Hanukkah Song” by Adam Sandler Least Favorite Holiday Song: “Please Daddy (Don’t Get Drunk on Christmas)” by John Denver I think it is my favorite because it is so different from every other Christmas song and is a true original by Sia who is immensely talented. What may be surprising is that this song is not a classic. I do not know what kind of holiday cheer you get from someone begging their dad not to get intoxicated on Christmas. I doubt this would be the number one choice for a holiday party. Least Favorite Holiday Song: “Please, Daddy (Don’t Get Drunk on Christmas)” by John Denver Its nostalgic tune is just what you need to make happy memories at the end of a very “unique” 2020. No matter your age, this “Winter Wonderland” will make you feel like a kid on Christmas all over again. Happy, peaceful, joyful this song has all the Christmas feels. Despite the song having references to holiday elements like sleigh bells and the winter season, I am not convinced that is what it takes to be a Christmas song.įavorite Holiday Song: “Winter Wonderland” by Tony BennettĬome on… who does not like “Winter Wonderland?” The beginning of the song just embodies the spirit of Christmas. I will admit that choosing my least favorite holiday song is a difficult task, however I am whole-heartedly confused if “My Favorite Things” from “The Sound of Music” is actually a Christmas song. Least Favorite Holiday Song: “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music While the sentiment of Presley’s version of the song is rather.blue for the holiday season, it is still a song I cannot help but harmonize along with every time I hear it. “Blue Christmas” is a classic Christmas song, and it is almost impossible to go an entire holiday season without hearing it play on the radio or in a store. However, the real question is, and one in which the FSView and Florida Flambeau’s Arts and Culture Staff looks to answer, do these songs “Jingle Bell Rock” or flop?įavorite Holiday Song: “Blue Christmas” by Elvis Presley The United Kingdom, it peaked at number 63.Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You,” Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” Adam Sandler’s “Hanukkah Song” and even Alvin and the Chipmunks’s “The Chipmunk Song” all landed on holiday charts at some point and time. In the United States, Helms’ version reached number 6.
How did “Jingle Bell Rock” perform on the charts? Helms’ record label (Decca Records) didn’t make music video for this song. Was a music video made for “Jingle Bell Rock”?
In effect, he claimed Boothe and Beal weren’t the song’s original writers. According to him, he co-wrote it with Helms but never received credit for it.
