I don't get the hate of the Little Drummer Boy. It's not my favorite Christmas tune, but I'd definitely not change it if it came on and was sung by a "classic" artist.Originally posted by Surfah View PostThis duet is rad. I have it on my iPod. By far the best version of an otherwise horrible song.
This version has always just been very cool and I've always liked it a lot.

My aunt had German measles when she was pregnant with my cousin, as a result, she was born with a hearing impairment. Her dad (my uncle), known for his twisted sense of humor, always claims that my cousin's favorite Christmas song is "Do you hear what I hear?"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

Saw this guy in concert once and his playing is awesome. It's too bad this is the only Christmas song I could find on youtube:

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

I've started listening already (sorry donut, one of the local FM stations is playing Christmas music 24-7 now, and that got me going).'
Here are the lyrics to James Taylor's "Who Comes This Night?" which I had never heard until his "At Christmas" album that came out a few years ago:
Who comes this night, this wintry night,
As to the lowly manger?
The Shepherds and the Kings did come
To welcome in the stranger.
Who sends this song upon the air,
To ease the soul that's aching?
To still the cry of deep despair
And heal the heart that's breaking.
Brother Joseph bring the light
Fast, the night is fading.
And who will come this wintry night
To where the stranger's waiting?
Who comes this night, with humble heart,
To give the fullest measure
A gift of purest love to bring
What good and worthy treasure.
Brother Joseph bring the lamb
For they are asking for him
The children come this starry night
To lay their hearts before him.
For those who would the stranger greet
Must lay their heart before him
And raise their song in voices sweet
To worship and adore him
Brother Joseph bring the light
Fast, the night is fading
And who will come this wintry night
To where the stranger's waiting
Brother Joseph bring the lamb
For they are asking for him.
The children come this starry night
To lay their hearts before him.
Pure of heart this starry night
To lay their hearts before him.
Excerpt of the performance here. It looks like Taylor himself wrote the song, which is kind of interesting.Last edited by LA Ute; 11-22-2010, 09:39 AM.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

This is a lot of fun to watch:
