That happens to be an Advent tune, originating as Gregorian Chant.

Only a guy what went to a Jesuit high school would know that.
So if Jesus' name was Biff like I suggested over in that other thread, you'd'a gone to a Biffuit high school. Then you'd be a Biffminster. Then when you had too much to eat, you'd be Biffminster Fuller. This is a very lame joke, one I've been working on for years. It takes years to think up a joke this lame. I haven't had an opportunity to tell it until now. Thanks, Riv!
But lissen up folks, this is cool: I was at the Black Nativity tonight & this year, at the end of each performance, everyone gets up & joins the choir in singing the National Black Anthem.
What was really cool was, tonight, I noticed most of the audience, the vast majority white, didn't even need the leaflet that contained the words. Most knew the words (at least the 1st stanza) and the tune, even the teenagers sitting next to me.
I hafta admit, I got a little choked up.

Here's my all-time favorite Christmas song:
ROCKIN' ROBIN
Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee, Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee,
Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee, Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee,
Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee, Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee,
Tweet Tweet Tweet Tweet
He rocks in the treetops all day long
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singin' his song.
All the little birds on day bird's street
Love to hear the Robin go Tweet Tweet Tweet
Rockin' Robin' rockin' Robin
Go Rockin' Robin 'cause we're really going to rock tonight
Eevry little swallow, every chickadee
Every little bird iin the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flappin' their wings going,
"Go Bird Go."
Rockin' Robin' rockin' Robin
Go Rockin' Robin 'cause we're really going to rock tonight
Well a wordy little raven at the bird's first dance
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
Started goin' steady and a Bless my soul,
He out bomped the buzzard and the oriole.
He rocks in the treetops all day long
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singin' his song.
All the little birds on day bird's street
Love to hear the Robin go Tweet Tweet Tweet
Rockin' Robin rockin' Robin
Go Rockin' Robin cuz we're really going to rock tonight
Well a pretty little raven at the bird bath stand
Talkin' bout the _____ bompin a______grand
Started goin' steady and a Bless my soul,
He out bomped the buzzard and the oriole.
He rocks in the treetops all day long
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singin' his song.
All the little birds on day bird's street
Love to hear the Robin go Tweet Tweet Tweet
Rockin' Robin' rockin' Robin
Go Rockin' Robin 'cause we're really going to rock tonight
Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee, Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee,
Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee, Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee,
Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee, Tweedle-e deedle-e-dee,

Dude-
Rockin' Robin isn't a Christmas song, it's an all-year song!

Yeah here is a great xmas song from that album 
Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It’s fun to lose
And to pretend
She’s overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word
Hello (x 16)
With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea
I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello (x 16)
With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea
And I forget
Just what it takes
And yet I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard
Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
Hello (x 16)
With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now
Entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now
Entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yea

have to agree Slugman...that's one of the top songs for me. But I also like the short spoofs of Christmas songs. Notably....
Old Saint Nicholas FELL off the chimney...
and then there's
you'd better not laugh, you'd better not cry...
the reason is simple I'm telling you why...
Santa Claus is DEAD........(groan....)
and my favorite short song...
Frosty the Snowman Melted.........

It's that time again and it looks like many of you have hashed through this political hotbed, but here are a couple of my choices:
Jimmy Smith - Christmas 64 - The band's a little sloppy but it swings like crazy and that Hammond B3 is so cool.
Shorty Rogers - The Swingin' Nutcracker - Killer big band of all stars and hilarious arrangements like: The swingin' plum fairy, Blue Reeds, Flowers for the cats.
Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics - (this one has a parental advisory 
I use this one to shock all my friends. Here's a link to the lyrics.
(hey, the spell check wanted to change Hankey to HONKEY  )
