From the sublime to the ridiculous. Here's a jolly tune from master satirist of the 1950s Stan Freberg* accompanied by a computerised Xmas light show. Mmmm, tasteful. I'm sure Stan would appreciate the sentiment (not).
*Freberg's "Green Chri$tma$" is one of the all-time great records. Check that out too. |

Most of you probably know the Jackson 5 Christmas LP from 1970 (with its definitive versions of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, "Up On the House Top" and so on).
Personally, however, I believe Michael Jackson's singing voice was never better than in the period 1972-73. This is when he mastered the art of expressing a broken heart. And fortunately for us, at the end of '73 he gave us a Christmas song on a heartbreak theme. Beautiful writing - quite complex for a pop song actually, probably aimed at the AOR audience that was lapping up Elton and Stevie Wonder at the time. Great vocal harmony support too from (I assume) the rest of the J5.
The video is a fan-made one from this year: plays up the more schmaltzy aspects of the song a bit too much but, still, it's not bad. |
