After asking about Christmas movies, I am also curious how the Cake community feels about Christmas music. What are your favorite Christmas songs? How do you feel about Christmas music as a whole?
I like the more reverent, spiritual ones as well as all the songs I sang in choir in high school as a Madrigal. But some of the super cheesy commercial songs like Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer or Frosty the Snowman I could do without.
Thoughts?
I like this one
That was amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Pentatonix is fabulous!
Such a beautiful arrangement. Amazing harmonies!
I came across this last night. Piano Christmas from Martan Mann. He used to be my jazz piano teacher 16 years ago. Dude is an amazing pianist. I'm still on his e-mail list, so that's how I found it.
I'm not a fan of the particularly spiritual or the particularly cheesy but there is a huge area in the middle that are neither.
I also really dislike it when they start getting played everywhere on endless repeat at the start of November.
In spite of all that though, last year I wrote a couple of 'Christmas Mixtape' articles on our blog which include a few of my favourites.
White wine in the sun by the unlikely Tim Minchin is possibly the most lyrically moving Christmas song ever in my opinion.
An Aussie take on a few Christmas songs.
Aussie Jingle Bells - Bucko & Champs - THE ORIGINAL
Frosty the yobbo - Bucko and Champs
Deck the Shed with Bits of Wattle
Love it! Those are so much better versions of the songs that they are parodies of! Thanks so much for sharing!
The combination of Aussie English and lyrics behind those melodies is priceless fun!
White Wine in the Sun is beautiful! I hadn't ever heard it before! Thanks so much for sharing!
The lyrics were a tad funny at the beginning and then morphed into something really deep and profound. Very nice!!
Not Pentatonix level, but these LDS missionaries in the Independence Missouri Mission did a nice job covering "Mary, Did You Know?"
From the extreme from Pentatonix, Broken Peach, both are on high rotation Pentatonix and Broken Peach in dispersed with Post Modern Jukebox. Thou Broken Peach wins out for Halloween.
Broken Peach - Jingle Bell Rock.
Joy To The World - Nat King Cole (Motown Christmas Cover) ft. Von Smith & Tambourine Guy
Last Christmas - Vintage Andrews Sisters - Style Wham! Cover - Postmodern Jukebox
Hope everyone had a great day there. Stay safe there and have a fun day.
