Your Favorite Version of a Christmas Song

[shadyh8er]

Over the years there have been many different artists offering their take on classic Christmas carols. Which is your favorite?

Mine is August Burns Red's version of Carol of the Bells. (Before anyone asks, no, I didn't first hear this song on American Dad. Don't even watch that show anymore).

 

[Anarchemitis]

Self explanatory.

It's the Japanese version of Last Christmas. I love this song and it always makes me feel like the holidays are really here.

Spoiler: There is only ever one acceptable to this question. If anything, you should be asking for excuses why people aren't choosing this song.

I don't know if this qualifies...but there is a video that was made two years ago that talks ABOUT Christmas songs. I always get a kick out of watching this video.

More of a parody of a song than a different version, but it's so funny and so true.

One man sums it all up BING MOTHER FUCKIN CROSBY!

With the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, it's impossible to go wrong.

Gah, ye sneaky ninja! Got me again, Arrrrr!

I'd have to say "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby, then.

Beat me to it. Ah well, it's a good one though huh.

Now OT here but my fav that's an original would be war is over by John Lennon..

 

[bloodrayne626]

Are we including 'songs that we PLAY at Christmas', or actual Christmas songs?

 

[Nouw]

Self explanatory.

Hilarious! Thanks.

There was a version of 12 Days of Christmas with Warhammer 40,000 (Dawn of War) but it was taken down so to all Starcraft fans!


Being a bit more serious, Die Hard showed me this beautiful song which is kinda ironic as it doesn't snow in Auckland. Ever. (Watching Die Hard 1&2 in the Christmas Spirit tonight! :D!)
