I believe, I believe!!

 

Ok so what is everyone's favorite Christmas song?

Mine: David Bowie and Bing Crosby, Little drummer boy.

next??

 

as much as i hate it, the only one that ever pops in my head is the 12 days of christmas with the muppets ....makes me cringe

 

I only like ONE Christmas song but I don't know what it's called. Maybe someone can help... it goes like this-

BONG bong bong bong- BONG bong bong bong- BONG bong bong bong- BONG bong bong bong- BONG bong bong bong over and over and then it continues with crazy stuff and BONG--BONG--BONG--BONG in the background...

Anyone?

Spitfire- you got a video for it? They play it at Disney/ Epcot when they light up the big tunnel to the tree.

(I should clarify- I can only DEAL with one Christmas song.)

 

sighs.. why oh why..
i just read through 22 pages.. my head hurts.. anyone have any tylenol?

 

TORTURE! You should have started with the last page. Pain reliever won't help any of us.

 

i spoke to both Skillet and Apple and things are still a go......they are handling it off-thread and i'm sure once Skillet gets the "Come on Down" he will update us....also as soon as pics are available i'm sure we will all be shown

Oh, now this is good news!

What do you think the guys in the space station are doing right now?

 

Awww, yes, this is my fave also!! Close runner up is the Christmas song that Robert Downey Jr. sang on Allie McBeal.... can't recall the name,,,

I say we all just keep on drinking the beer off of the wall!! my theory is that Apple just wants us to drink that beer.. goal oriented, yah know??

I really do not want to re read all of the posts on here so can someone clear up something for me? Who is in the funeral business? Is that you skillet??
did we ever decide on the name for this mini, could we comprimise and offer up Martha, The Great Pumpkin.

 

Are you just messing with us to keep this going?

No one has figured out my song yet?

Skillet is in the funeral business AND hitman business... nice and neat little package, 'eh? Just a warning... don't anyone try to get his FREE car!

 

cabwy- You said you do massage therapy... do you do myofascial release?

 

not messen with ya....."I speak the Truth"

 

OK.

So that means no stake out in Silver Springs? We have to behave?

 

I have extensive certs in MFR techniques. I haven"t the full, exclusive cert from John Barnes who holds the trademark rights to the term Myofascial Release.

I do quite a bit of it and it is powerful stuff. I am working on getting my Lymphatic Drainage cert at this point. In fact my next course is in.........
Sarasota in March!!

 

I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE!!!!

 

I had seen the above posted before Skillet's claim was on the board
and then complemented Apple for it in another thread on a different board:
I can also attest to the fact that the offer was never 'edited' from the begining and have enjoyed the 500+ posts since. .The above said it best and I feel for Skillet's 'wait' but hope Martha can enjoy a nice Holiday with Apple in Sunny Florida before moving to Canada.

After all, it is comfort for the waiting that is such a big drive for NAM.

And the happiest of Holidays to all!!!

 

CAROL OF THE BELLS!!! I love that song.

 

I honestly think this is one of the best threads EVER!! I feel like there is such a brotherhood/sisterhood here and wow,,, it really does feel like Christmas!!

Why do I love Christmas so much?? Because everyone wants to go......


wait for it,,,,,,,,,


"Caroling"


Get it???

 

I like the Bowie Crosby duet, one of my favorites, but I the only one I'm aware of that they did was White Christmas.

 

Hey Veggie! What's up!

This thread is looking less and less promising...c'mon Apple!

 

Interesting, i'm going to look that one up, if I like this one I will probably like that one too. The CD in front of me is titled, "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer boy".

I was not aware they did more then one! thanks for the info.

 

I think you are right "Carol of the Bells" Trans Siberian Orchestra does it the BEST!!!

 

I'm trying to find reference to it as well, and can't. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, maybe not. I found this info though:

"One of the more surreal moments in pop music history took place Sept. 11, 1977, when the leading American pop star of the first half of the Twentieth Century met and performed with one of the more innovative rock 'n' rollers of the last half of the Century. Bing was in London on a concert tour and to tape his yearly TV Christmas special. It was Bing's idea that he should have as a guest on his TV show a young star. Someone suggested David Bowie. Bing had never heard of Bowie, but his kids had, and so an invitation was sent to the rock star. Bowie, as it turned out, was a secret fan of Der Bingle and jumped at the chance to perform with him.
Bing's idea was that he and Bowie would perform "The Little Drummer Boy" as a duet. Bowie felt the song did not showcase his voice very well, so the writers added "Peace on Earth," which suited Bowie's voice quite well. The two musical spokesmen of different generations met for the first time on the morning of the taping, rehearsed for an hour and finished their duet in only three takes. Bing was impressed with Bowie, and gave him his phone number at the end of the taping. Bing told an interviewer four days later that he considered Bowie "a clean cut kid and a real fine asset to the show. He sings well, has a great voice and reads lines well. He could be a good actor if he wanted."

Bing died a month later, and the public did not see their performance until after his death. The duet generated much interest, and was excerpted to become a perennial TV music video, a best-selling 45-rpm single and, eventually, a computer CD-ROM. Some viewed the joint performance of Bing and Bowie as a symbol of the end of the intergenerational wars of the 1960s and '70s. In 1999 TV Guide chose the duet as one of the 25 best musical television moments of the century (June 5 issue)."

 

very interesting reading...
Yes it is a beautiful song, I guess this was the only song they did together!
Shame Bing wasn't around to see his final work. He was a very talented man!

White Christmas was his most famous Christmas song, maybe that is what you were thinking!

thanks for the info.

 

Thanks, glangford for a beautiful story and recap of what transpired with Bing and Bowie.....this makes me love the song even more.
It is hauntingly beautiful.
