This is my favorite Christmas novelty song. Such an upbeat happy melody. It's a Christmas song from Venezuela about a boy and his little donkey going to Bethlehem. This link has the lyrics in Spanish and English.
"Probably the most important music video to be made in the last [50] years. Just as relevant today as it was [50] years ago." - PhoneixRising100
And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
Ok, this is not actually a Christmas song. I just felt that its message of the brotherhood of man is so appropriate for the season. A flash mob performance of the song from the greatest musical composition of all time, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Watch for the reaction of the kids caught in the video. Priceless.
Thy magic power re-unites all that custom has divided
All men become brothers
Trans-Siberian Orchestra has taken Pachelbel's Canon in D Major, added lyrics and a children's choir and made an enchanting Christmas song.
All he had to offer was to play on his drum. Beautiful traditional rendition.
"And He smiled at me ..... me and my drum"
A classic sung in French and English by Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti (Vienna, 1999) A marvelous rendition (just don't look to closely at the singer's lips - not a very good job of synching sound with visual).
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Merry Christmas, Buon Natale, Feliz Navidad, Wesołych Świąt, Joyeux Noël, Fröhliche Weihnachten, boldog Karácsonyt, Nolla Shona dhuit
A live performance of the rollicking arrangement of this Christmas favorite by the Boss and the E-Street Band. The audience interaction with Bruce and the band is fun to watch. (If you are in a hurry, the song starts at 1:50.)
A beautiful a capella version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".
Christmas is a time for children. This gentle carol explains the manger scene in a simple story. What a wonderful sentiment:
"Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care"
Hilarious video of an out-of-control Christmas party. Some great comments on the YouTube page. Here's my favorite: "This is the song that sealed his destiny to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature."
..Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, saying
"Don't you cry, I'll be back again someday."
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
If we can pull together
We could change the world forever
Heaven knows that tears are not enough
