athersgeoWell, in a fit of boredom (I'm supposed to be writing an email system)...
These have a wintery/holidays theme.
ETA: NB Many of these songs have different versions by different artists, so I'm not so much looking for the artist as the song :)
1) He asked ol' Santa what peace on earth was
2) I remember when you were here/And all the fun we had last year
3) What do you tell your daddy/When you see mamma kissing Santa Claus?
4) Once bitten and twice shy/I keep my distance/But you still catch my eye
5) I don't want a lot for Christmas
6) Welcome to my Christmas song
7) Twas light years ago since his mission did start
8) Till I believed in the Israelite
9) So this is Christmas
10) Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
11) The choir of children sing their song
12) Don't lock your doors because that sweet Santa Claus is on his way
13) "You girls and boys won't get any toys if you don't pull me out"
14) Well I ain’t like old Saint Nick, he don’t come but once a year
15) Snow is falling/All around
16) With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
17) Bells will be ringing/The glad, glad news
18) Top to toe in tailbacks
19) In the lane snow is glistening
20) At Christmas time/We let in light and we banish shade
21) With a corncob pipe and a button nose
22) Yeah I kind of missed 'em, I just don't wanna kiss 'em, no
23) Without you/I've got no place, no place to go
24) Without each other's help there ain't no hope for us
25) Venite, venite in Bethlehem

Date: 2004-12-21 03:16 pm (UTC)4) Last Christmas - Wham (my favortite)
20) Do They Know It's Christmas - no idea who sung that
(no subject)
Date: 2004-12-21 03:21 pm (UTC)4) Yep
20) That particular line was sung by Paul Young (irrc). The whole thing was sung by (*deep breath*) Boy George, Paul Young, George Michael, Simon Le Bon, Bono, Sting, Bananarama, Status Quo, Bob Geldorf, Phil Collins...it's a who's who of early 80s British pop and rock music. They were collectively known as Bandaid.

Date: 2004-12-22 10:06 am (UTC)2.) Christmas/Baby Please Come Home - U2, since they're the ones I almost always hear on the radio singing it
4.) Last Christmas - Wham! I've got the album and the video still
5.) All I Want For Christmas Is You - can't think of who sings it - Vanessa Williams? I know that the girl sings it in the last part of Love Actually
6.) {growls} I can hear the guy singing that line, and "Merry Merry Christmas", but I can't think of the title or the artist to save my life! But now I'll have that tune chasing me to bed!
9.)So This Is Christmas/War Is Over - John Lennon, and I can't remember if Yoko was on this one or not. Just this past weekend I heard somebody's remake of it, they sounded like Adam Sandler trying to sound like an actual singer. {shivers}
19.) Winter Wonderland - no particular singer comes to mind for this one, I've heard a couple of different folks sing it
17.) Please Come Home For Christmas - Jon Bon Jovi!!
20.) Do They Know It's Christmas? - Band Aid. I've not heard the new version, but I've got the original single, and the video on tape somewhere around here... I can remember playing "Spot the Duran Duran members!" on the video, and wondering just who the heck this Bono person was, but knowing his voice sounded familiar for some reason.
21.) Frosty The Snowman - I always hear the version from the cartoon when I think about this one, I simply just can't hear any other version in my head.
How'd I do? :)
(no subject)
Date: 2004-12-22 10:14 am (UTC)5) Yep - I think there's been umpteen versions of it. The version I know is by Mariah Carey.
6) *snickering* No points, but an amusing mental image ;)
17) Yep
There's one other on there that I'm a little surprised you didn't get...*insert evil laughter here*
(no subject)
Date: 2004-12-22 10:48 am (UTC)And as for the one I "didn't" get, how's this? :)
14.) Back Door Santa - I've heard the original of this, but the one I always think of is Bon Jovi's version, which I like a LOT better. :)
Triva on BJ's version of Back Door Santa... you know you've got the original version of the first A Very Special Christmas cd if it's got BJ's version of Back Door Santa on it. When they put the cd out again, BDS was replaced by BJ's I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas. Keep in mind I'm talking about the US version only. :)
6.) Step Into Christmas - Elton John
:)
