This is the song that got it all started. About 10 years ago I was trying to write a song
and I came up with this one and I thought to myself that it sounded like a Christmas song. I could never finish it cause something just wasn't right. Well I dusted it off again this year and when I put tool sounds on as percussion it all fell together. It now sounds like Santa's elves all working away at the North Pole.
Traditional
I've always loved this song. This is the Bruce Cockburn arrangement. He's a wonderful songwriter and has a very cool Christmas CD.

The original song was by a great L.A. band of the early 80's called Jack Mack & the Heart Attack. Their song was Cardiac Party.
by Billy Hayes & Jay Johnson
This song has been recorder many times. One of my favorite is this arrangement by Booker T and the MG's
by Record & Sanders
This a wonderful soul song for the early 70's by Young Hot Unlimited. I always like to combine two songs together. I think this one joined great.
by Joseph Mohr & Franz Gruber
Well this song is such a classic what more can be said.
by Perren, Mizell, Gordy, Richards

I love this song by The Jackson 5. Lots of cool parts, vocals, and guitars that makes me want to get my Brothers and do some synchronized dance steps.
