Best Christmas Song of All time - "Golden Age of Radio" Region - subregion 1

[funKYcat75]

Moving on to songs written and composed in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Bing and Deano rule the airways with their smooth-as-silk voices. Remember to vote the matchups (1v16, 8v9, etc) just like in the NCAA tourney. You get four votes per thread.

The next region will be in play on Monday. On Tuesday, go and vote some other way which is almost important as these threads.

8 Seed - Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane) -

5 Seed - Sleigh Ride -
versus
12 Seed - Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) -

I like to think he's the preacher that was always yelling at us on UK's campus in the 90s.

-yeah... this region pisses me off. These aren't Christmas worship songs... but marketing/pop music written quite often by non-Christian folk for profit. I will abstain.

You're gonna hate Monday and Wednesday's threads then.

The Christmas Song is not that great of a song. However, the performance makes it great. Outside of NKC, Bing Crosby or Karen Carpenter singing it, it is average

Karen Carpenter can make anything sound nice. My parents had their Christmas album in heavy rotation on our 8 track player.

So a bad song sounds good with good singers. That sounds a lot like the song is good.
