7 Days of Christmas Song of the Day - All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

The most recent of all truly Christmas classics is this 1994 pop-sugary jam by Mariah Carey.  Though even I'm slightly tired of it for all it's been played out, it's hard to deny that it is one happy, sunshiny tune.  Here's Mariah...

Song of the Day - Fantasy - Mariah Carey

Another day, another belated birthday, and another oldie but goodie!  I tell you, I really should keep a better track on birthdays of music artists I like instead of waiting to see something on social media a day later.  Ah well!  Yesterday was the 49th birthday of one Ms. Mariah Carey and we celebrate with one of my favorite tunes, and videos, of hers.  Featuring classic music from Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love and my very first roller coaster, the Dragon Coaster at Rye Playland, I could watch this one over and over again.  Here's Fantasy...

Stole Your Car - Charlotte Lawrence

A Christmas Song of the Day - All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

Song of the Day - So Cold - Mariah Carey

Okay now, so this s getting ridiculous!  Today is day #4 of my own personal cold hell.  Turns out I've got such a uniquely industrial furnace that the part I need is hard to find.  Lucky me!  It's 46 degrees in here as I type this, but at least I've got a nice space heater to keep me toasty.  Oh, and by the time my furnace is fixed, the temps outside will be well into the 50's.  Anyway, here's a great song that I haven't heard in like forever... 

A Christmas Song of the Day - O Holy Night - Mariah Carey

Well, it is here!  From me and mine, I wish you and yours the happiest of days today.  Before you go though, enjoy this absolutely moving rendition of the most beautiful of songs...what a voice!

Song of the Day - All I Want for Christmas - Chase Holfelder & Kurt Hugo Schneider

Okay, so Christmas is less than two weeks away and I haven't posted on Christmas song yet...until now.  My pal Manny stopped by for a visit last night and he shared with me one of the most unique Christmas covers ever.  The singer is one Chase Holfelder, and he's made waves before covering tunes by Cyndi Lauper, Taylor Swift, Adele and many others, turning their famous songs into whole new ones by singing them in a minor, or sadder, key.  It's really incredible to listen to!  Here he turns Marih Carey's all time happy Christmas favorite into a sort of grungy, dark song, and it works! Check out the most unique rendition of All I Want for Christmas...ever!
