Mario Lanza, “O Come All Ye Faithful” because sometimes you just have to go full out even down to the Amen at the end of the song.
I had never heard of this singer until I read a fanfic by Coneycat where Tony Stark blasts Lanza's version of “Joy to the World” first thing on Christmas morning. Surprisingly I just learned that a friend of mine does that with the song I recommended yesterday (“O Holy Night” by Jussi Björling). I have to say that I am completely unfamiliar with this tradition of blasting music on Christmas day.
13 December:
Lee Murdock, “The Christmas Ship”. This is a very sweet one. Since I couldn't find a video with just this song, you can jump to 0:42 for the song to start. 5:44 is end
14 December:
Straight No Chaser, “The Twelve Days of Christmas” … sort of.
15 December:
I'm not sure how I miseed my favorite Christmas song, Loreena McKennit's “Dickens Christmas / The Palace”.
16 December:
"Christmas in Jail” by The Youngsters. Based on YouTube this song is much more well-known than I would have expected.
17 December:
Holy Night, Batman! One year I decorated my door at work as an homage to Eartha Kitt's Catwoman using her song “Santa Baby” as the holiday tie-in.
18 December:
Lady Gaga & Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing – and dancing – “Baby It's Cold Outside”. I liked that they switched it up and made her the seducer.
