This is supposed to be a Top 10 Comparision by each of us... but DJ Vic points out: "I only have 6 because I don't like holiday music very much". SO 10 from Smurftastic (who is inappropriately obsessed with Christmas music), and 6 from DJ Vic. Here goes.
Smurftastic #10:
I'll be Home for Christmas - Kenny Chesney
Reasoning: adds a nice little island beat to an all-over good christmas song
DJ Vic Response - Country and Christmas are always a good mix
Smurftastic #9:
Messiah excerpt/Because it's Christmas - Barry Manilow
Reasoning: Oh yeah, it's a song combo... pretty cheesy, but heartwarming. And who doesn't at least have some familiarity with Handel's Messiah? Plus Manilow's Christmas album is decently great. And Manilow is Jewish. And a gay sex icon. Non discrimination is important this time of year.
Smurftastic #8:
Dick in a Box - Justin Timberlake and Andy Sandberg
Reasoning: supports all holidays. Including the CMAs, which I am a HUGE fan of, obviously
DJ Vic Response - I'd take Justin Timberlak's dick in a box for Christmas any year. Though I doubt my parents....I mean "Santa"....could afford that gift
Smurftastic #7:
O Holy Night - NSYNC
Reasoning: plays to my love of 5 part harmonies, NSYNC, A capella, and this song in general
DJ Vic Response - Wow. O Holy Night is my favorite X-mas song
Distraction discussion about boy bands: Animal could be mistaken for an NSYNC member given certain hat and clothing choices, particularly the pink argyle sweater w/ newsboy cap
but bald boys aren't allowed in boy bands - cause you can't spike/frost the tips of bald
DJVictorious # 6 (FINALLY!)
Merry Christmas Baby - Bruce Springsteen
Reasoning: Rockin' - and shows my new-found Jersey pride - insert fist pump
Smurftastic #6
The Chanukah Song - Adam Sandler
Reasoning: Because racism is bad, and we at somepeopleknit do not support bad things (except bad life choices we really like those because they provide mocking/judging material) - Unfortunately, I don't know many kwanzaa songs... or festivus songs... or other winter holiday related songs. Don't be mad.
DJ Victorious #5:
anything Mannheim Steamroller
Reasoning: They're VERY big in Pittsburgh- No seriously - they make me feel like it's the holidays - I think my brother owns every Mannheim Steamroller album ever recorded - AND he's seem them live
Smurftastic Response: i'm relegating this to the worst, it's like the enya of holiday music
Smurftastic #5:
Baby It's Cold Outside - Leon Redbone/Zooey Deschanel - Elf Soundtrack
Reasoning: Kind of a romantic song which promotes substance abuse. Bring it on. Also am pretty sure this song is about date rape. Oh well.
DJ Victorious response: My grandpa really likes Leon Redbone.
DJ Victorious #4:
Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy - Bing Crosby & David Bowie
Reasoning: Bowie is god
Smurftastic Response: that is a decent version, however, that song and all versions is #2 on my worst xmas songs of all time, but this is actually the only version i can stand because bowie sings OVER the stupid par rum ing
Smurftastic #4:
All I want for Christmas is You - Olivia Olson - Love Actually Soundtrack
Reasoning: Cause Mariah is bat shit CRAZY, but it's a great song
DJ Vic Response: Mimi isn't crazy....she's misguided
Smurftastic rebuttal: Wow. You just called her Mimi. Judging you.
DJVictorious #3:
Twelve Days of Christmas: John Denver & the Muppets
Reasoning: I listen to this album EVERY YEAR, IT'S AMAZING, The best part is when Miss Piggy warbles "5 Goooollldeen Riiiiiinggssss", Fantastic
Smurftastic response: wow BOLD, i've actually never heard that song but i do love john
Smurftastic #3:
Christmas Time is Here - Alvin and the Chipmunks
Reasoning: Because if you don't love this song, you are a terrible person. Plus I sing a great falsetto... also i am probably going to see the new Chipmunks movie - i judge myself, but i can't deny who I am
DJVictorious Response: John (he's the Chipmunk's "dad" right?) is such a pedophile
DJVictorious #2:
All I Want For Christmas is You: Mariah Carey
Reasoning: Might be the best song ever recorded, and the hipster kids LOVE it - and not just ironically
Smurftastic response: See my #4
Smurftastic #2:
Merry Christmas Happy Holidays - NSYNC
Reasoning: OK there are 2 NSYNC songs on here. I admit it. But you know what? Their Christmas album is AWESOME. Just fantastic. I don't even feel bad about my obsession. I have been known to listen to it in July. And nothing brings up a crappy finals mood like this song and its bouncy piano accompaniment
DJVictorious response: 2 NSYNC - quite a move... i'll take your word for it.
DJVictorious #1:
Christmas in Hollis - Run DMC
"You really need to see the video to fully appreciate."
Smurftastic response: Nice. Keep up the ethnic/music genre diversity
Smurftastic #1:
I Wanna Rock You Hard This Christmas - The Dan Band
Reasoning: Difficult to truly explain the awesomeness of this song. You have to hear it for yourself. Here are some selected lines to whet your appetite: "Fill your stocking with my candy cane of joy", "Deck the halls with your Christmas balls"
DJVictorious response: speechless - this is what the holidays are truly about, not this peace on earth bullshit
blnd44illini (3:09:13 PM): oh this song also features the line 'peace on earth'
blnd44illini (3:09:18 PM): but in an inappropriate context
blnd44illini (3:09:23 PM): which is the best time for it
blnd44illini (3:09:32 PM): also - santa hooks up w/ grandma
DJvictoriousT (3:09:51 PM): I bet santa gets alot of tang
DJvictoriousT (3:09:59 PM): he's a pretty powerful guy
blnd44illini (3:10:11 PM): cushion for the pushin?
DJvictoriousT (3:10:19 PM): exactly
Happy Holidays everyone! Get excited for more holiday related countdowns as we get bored during finals weeks.
