Greatest Christmas Song Ever!

[Trauma-san]

Everybody vote for their favorite christmas song ever, and tell why.  Don't just name something, back it up why you think it's the best.

My vote for greatest Christmas Song ever goes to Chuck Berry's "Run Run Rudolph".  I think it's the best ever because Christmas is all about children, and the song must have been amazing when it came out.  Imagine you're 5 or 6 and you tune in to Ed Sullivan or whatever the hell and they say Chuck Berry's going to be on with his new Christmas song for you to hear... then out comes this tall black guy with a flame red guitar playing the hell out of it and running around the stage... Rock & Roll's just been invented the past few years, and Chuck Berry's one of the first guys to do this stuff... and he starts singing this awesome song for the kids there

"Out of all the reindeers you know you’re the mastermind
Run, run Rudolph, Randalph ain’t too far behind
Run, run Rudolph, Santa’s got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph ‘cause I’m reelin’ like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child “What have you been longing for?”
“All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar”
And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star
Run, run Rudolph, Santa’s got to make it to town, come on
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a girl child “What would please you most to get?”
“A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet”
And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet
Run, run Rudolph, Santa’s got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph ‘cause I’m reelin’ like a merry-go-round"

AWESOME Christmas song, Chuck Berry killed it.

BTW that "SANTA MAKE HIM HURRY TELL HIM HE CAN TAKE THE FREEWAY DOWN" is one of the coolest flowed rock lines ever.

Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

jesus, this song is too sick, everything from that dope ass guitar, to her voice  (fits the song so nice, i love the way she changes her tone a lil), just the whole feel of the song, its amazing, i put it on a cd a couple weeks ago, and been playing it like crazy, and still love it.

^Reminds me of Home Alone. A classic.
