Anybody have some good tracks they're playing at Christmas/Holiday events this year?
Would this one be inappropriate?
I think it's funny.

Christmas/Holiday Music
- Thread starter DJ Bobcat
- Start date
I was asked to provide a list of songs a group could use for Christmas games. Being that I didn't know which way they wanted to go, I provided various titles from all genres - one of them being Christmas In Dixie. I was informed that this song should be dropped because the term 'Dixie' refers to Louisiana in the 50's and 60's (which as relates to the story line of the song, it in no way does so). IMO, it's being dropped simply because of the word 'Dixie'.
Odd enough, the same person is accepting of the song 'Baby, It's Cold Outside', which if you look at lyrically, could be linked to this sexual harassment environment that's in the public eye right now.

TWO???[emoji1] You only like TWO Christmas songs???... Outta thousands of songs???[emoji1]
I have a whole lot of them, but there's WAY too many covers of the same old Christmas songs. The past couple of years though, there have been several, pretty good, new Christmas songs.[emoji4]

... Can't use it at my gig this week, because it's a secular kind of Holiday Party. It's still VERY pretty![emoji4]

SOoooooo.... Are you going to tell us what the two Christmas songs you like ARE?[emoji4]
One of the reasons I like idjpool .. over the past years they have posted 2300+ Holiday songs (though there isn't many Hanukkah ones in there) .. 23 added this year so far ..
I usually go to a number of my Christmas music CDs to play at holiday parties. Traditionally, I would play holiday music for cocktail hour, and some during dinner. Maybe 20 to 25 at most, and I only have 2 holiday parties scheduled this year. Makes no sense to purchase more moving forward since it's almost always artists re doing older songs.
Ohh
Holiday Road -think Lampoon's X-Mas vaca movie
All I want For Christmas, Mariah Carey
The original is by Vince Vance and the Valiants. All I want for Christmas is you. My Dad booked that band back when he was booking bands!
Take a listen...you might like it better than the Mariah Carey version!
I have that version as well, but it's really hard to believe it's the same song.[emoji1]

I don't think so ... Mariah Carey WROTE the song ... All I Want for Christmas Is You - Wikipedia
Maybe just the same titles
The words are similar as well, but not the same. It's only a NEAR rip-off, rather than a TOTAL rip-off.[emoji1]

Two different songs.
'The song re-entered the country charts again every January afterward, each time peaking higher than the last (confusion with the unrelated Mariah Carey hit song of the same name, released in 1994, may have accounted for increased exposure)'
All I Want for Christmas Is You (Vince Vance & The Valiants song)
This has been my favourite the last few years. Minglewood is a local guy kind of a country/blues/rock performer and has been a friend of mine a long time. he gave this away on his website a few Christmas back
Music starts at :27 or so
