Hey Lemmy!
What's that one song comes on the radio or party and you're filled with joy? Or perhaps it's a carol and it makes you feel alright. What is it?
Then there's the song that makes you flinch and cringe, and you've gotta shut that song down. What is it?
Your favorite and your despised!
There is a particular version of Carol of the Bells I quite like.
Also, the Trans Siberian Orchestra turned out a couple great tracks as well.
There are a few tracks by Frank Sinatra that sometimes get played as Christmas music which I won't tolerate. I've never heard a Sinatra song I don't physically hate.
The physical reaction to Sinatra ๐ Is the Carol of the Bells instrumental or vocal? Are you thinking of John Williams' version from Home Alone?
The Home Alone version is in the ballpark; the version I'm thinking of I'm pretty sure was on a CD of Christmas music my parents had. The Home Alone version sounds like it was sung by a children's choir. Then you get a lot of this version that is women plus instruments. The version I'm thinking of was choir only, ran a little faster, and had men in the choir. The sopranos still did most of the work but having some bass in the counter melody and chorus took the power up a notch.
I'm gonna see if I can find that CD today.
