I heard my first holiday song, and one of my favorites yesterday... Dominick the Donkey!! I was thinking about posting about it here and realized that some of you probably have never heard this song. It's really cute and even has animal sounds!! :D

I put the words below... What's your favorite Holiday song?? Which ones do you hate? I can't remember the names of the ones I hate... Maybe I'll remember later...

Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Santa's got a little friend,
His name is Dominick.
The cutest little donkey,
You never see him kick.
When Santa visits his paisons,
With Dominick he'll be.
Because the reindeer can not,
Climb the hills of Italy.

Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Jingle bells around his feet,
And presents on the sled.
Hey! Look at the mayor's derby,
On top of Dominick's head.
A pair of shoes for Louie,
And a dress for Josephine.
The labels on the inside says,
They're made in Brooklyn.

Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Children sing, and clap their hands,
And Dominick starts to dance.
They talk Italian to him,
And he even understands.

Cumpare sing,
Cumpare su,
And dance 'sta tarantel.
When (*jusamagora) comes to town,
And brings du ciuccianello.

Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Hey! Dominick! Buon Natale!
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
 
I played Elvis - Heartbreak Hotel on my stereo last night. It has animal sounds. :)
 
Hmm... We were listening to Christmas music on the way to grandma's house today. I love Christmas songs. I don't know if I could pick a favorite. My favorite Christmas album is A Charlie Brown Christmas by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. I have another album titled Traditional Christmas Classics that has a lot of the classic versions of Christmas songs: White Christmas by Bing Crosby, Christmas Time in New Orleans by Louis Armstrong, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer by Burl Ives; The Christmas Song by Mel Torme, etc... Good stuff.
 
I love listening to Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear?
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
 
soz, the word 'holiday' just brings up a whole lot of Cliff Richard and that's not a good thing...
 
FATHER CHRISTMAS
The Kinks

When I was small I believed in Santa Clause
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
"Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

"Don't give my brother a real trashy outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

"Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

"But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

"Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine

"Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed

"Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
 
yea i said that same thing sarcastically too when my friend presented me with the idea. but then i heard them. it brought tears to my eyes.
 
springsteen and the pretenders have good x-mas song covers.

my favorite is the song by the waitresses. cant think of the title right now.
 
Only xmas songs I'll listen to when I'm by myself is White Christmas by Guns and Roses and anything by Gary Hoey. If the wife is present I listen to Bing, Mannheim, and the Currier and Ives Cd's. Grudgingly.

It gets to where I realize why the ER's of this country become so full and suicide hotlines are the most dialed number this time of year.
 
the holidays are a very lonely time for a lot of people.
if i was alone and had to listen to "have a holly jolly christmas" about a jillion times anytime i went anywhere, i'd get despondent too.
