Everytime I hear that song, I think of this: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pokFsD1VHew?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pokFsD1VHew?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

I know, but the thing is.... I heard the commercial long before I heard the original song. As a result, every time I hear the song, I think, "that song ripped off the Jamaica commercial" and, yet I know that it's the other way around - the commercial ripped off John Lennon.

The John Beltran remix of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer as sung by Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald. You'll dump that egg nog for a martini in two seconds. http://www.amazon.com/Rudolph-Red-Nosed-Reindeer-Beltran-Remix/dp/B000QPCHMI (The only place I could find a clip of it) Otherwise I don't care much for holiday songs either. Another jazz-tinged song I play around this time: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I7UGJr6td5k?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I7UGJr6td5k?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
There are lots of really good ones out there.. I think right now probably my favorite ones to both listen to and watch are the ones from Straight No Chaser.. they just seem to have the spirit of the season down pat, they are a hoot and do an amazingly good job with the music. I am sure everyone has seen these, but here they are anyway.. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HVgCOgtklew?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HVgCOgtklew?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2Fe11OlMiz8?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2Fe11OlMiz8?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

THIS JUST IN....

The "preview" photo of this YouTurd viggio looks like it has THREE girls: a curly-haired italian-nosed brunette on the left, a Princess Diana-styled haired blond in the middle, and a regular ol' blond on the right. upon further inspection, it's a girl's curly hair over a blonde DUDE on the left, then George Michael, then the blond who looks the same. CREEPY and WEIRD stuff . I really think that in this scene, GEORGE was looking at the GUY at the other end of the table and wondering why THIS CHRISTMAS he gave his heart to someone else, not the brunette with whom the guy is.
