Baby, it's cold outside
Dec. 6th, 2012 11:57 pmSo, I added all my Christmas music back into the iTunes mix. It's a lot of pop/rock stars covering relatively well-known tunes. I have a few childhood favorites (like my John Denver & the Muppets) floating around in there too.
I think one of the most awkward/uncomfortable "winter" songs has to be 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'. The ability to listen to that song and not be creeped out is very dependant on how the singers (especially the male singer) handles it. Too smarmy and it gets creepy...if the male singer is a lot older, it can get weird.
Right now, I think my two favorite versions are Lady Antebellum (maybe because the idea of the song really isn't that different from the Looking for a Good Time) and now the version from Holidays Rule, which is sung by Rufus Wainwright and Sharon Van Etten. (FYI the new version of the YouTube site no longer has the "old embed code" so I guess that's it for embedding to LJ). I like how Rufus and Sharon sound like they are already pretty wasted, I have this image of the two of them leaning on each other, barely able to walk. Plus, we all know that Rufus is in no way trying to get in her pants because he is Rufus. Instead, you figure neither of them can really go anywhere and they need to just pass out on the floor and sleep it off LOL.
Why the heck is Joni Mitchell's song 'River' included on EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS CD? It's not a Christmas song at all, she just *happens* to say the word "Christmas". /pet peeve
I <3 Bird and the Bee's cover of Carol of the Bells
OH I got my Christmas tree today yay!!!!! WOW it is so much easier to do when you have a friend with a truck! (THANK YOU![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caroljen!!!!!!). And maybedeadcat got to be all manly and use a hammer and a screwdriver to try to chip off the knots that the dude at the store totally missed. Took a bit of work but he finally made it fit in the tree stand, yay! <3
Alright, bedtime! TGIF!!!!!!!!
