FRANKLY, *ALL* CHRISTMAS MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE THIS TO ME
Didja ever notice that when some pop artist re-makes a classic Christmas song, they feel compelled to inject it with an inhuman degree of passion in order to "make it their own"? With absolutely zero regard for tradition, much less rhythm or melody?
I notice it 8 hours a day, as I've mentioned before.
Well, I say that if you're going to sound like an American Idol "into the pit of death with you" reject, you might as well give it your all.
As in this version of Oh, Holy Night.
The challenge being to make it through the whole thing with a straight face.
Before you ask, that's not me. It was passed along to me by one of my blogless (and non-annoying) co-workers.
It's technically safe for work, but you'll probably lose your Christmassy-spirited friends if you play it at any significant volume.

That version brought tears to my eye.
sniff...sniff.. wipes tear from lmao
oh man.... sorry Lord. Thank God He has a sense of humor.
In the immortal words of Bill Walton:
"That was horrrrrible!"
Thanks. I think.
Still beats the Beach Boys doing The Man With All The Toys :-P
At least the Beach Boys were original.
Except that they still had that horridly-harmonizing Beach Boys sound.
Fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
2:00 plus minutes, I've finally lost it. Must be what I sounded like last week in the pew. Well, I'm at 3:00 and I must say that I'm definitely better than him. LOL
:D
You're going straight to hell for that one harv. ;)
Okay... The high not at 2:13 drove me away. That was un effing listenable.
And yes, it does have some resemblance to all the popstar remakes.
The traditional spelling of high not is "high note".
rofl
i gave up 55 seconds into that warbling.
I only lasted 22 seconds before I could tell that you need a record contract. So I have something to boycott.
WOW, I made it to the end. When will your tryouts for American Idol be? Hopefully, this will not be another William Hung?! This is at least Ruben quality.
/goes off to silence the echoes in my mind.
