Song of the Day #2,707: ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ – The Voice Coaches
Song of the Day #2,706: ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ – Frank Sinatra
I’m taking a little Christmas break this week while I prepare the countdown of my favorite 2015 songs.
To get everybody in the holiday spirit, I’ll post five renditions of my favorite Christmas song, ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,’ starting with Old Blue Eyes.
Song of the Day #2,498: ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ – Judy Garland
Here’s another song I didn’t realize originated in a film.
Some memorable Christmas songs first appeared in movies. Bing Crosby’s ‘White Christmas’ is perhaps the best-known example. The Rudolph TV special, while not technically a movie (and not eligible for Academy consideration, certainly) gave us ‘Silver and Gold,’ ‘The Most Wonderful Day of the Year’ and ‘A Holly Jolly Christmas.’
Song of the Day #490: ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ – Aimee Mann
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! It’s appropriate, I suppose, that Aimee Mann’s discography positions her Christmas album, One More Drifter in the Snow, on this neighboring holiday.
Mann and Christmas might seem like an odd mix, but hearing her versions of the classics on this album it’s clear that both share an underlying mood of lovely melancholy. Songs such as ‘Christmas Song,’ ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ and ‘White Christmas’ are far from merry but they’re certainly evocative of the season. And so too is this album.
