Christmas Songs of 1999

[Heroine of the Dragon]

So, some album (I closed the page because it was 'waaaaiiiiiiting to load' but I tricked it to get the playlist...) has all these tracks.

How many of the songs are you familiar with?




I recognise maybe 20 songs from this list, and as much as I love Christmas songs, I'm not inclined to listen to the rest. I have my favourites already!!

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

I vaguely recognize a few, mostly through movies and stuff. I've probably heard all of the old stuff. I think I've heard that Mariah Carry song in a store before.

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
Silent Night
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Those are the only ones I'm sure I know based on their names (idk the singers).

[SCARY WIZARD]

I recognize a lot of them by name, more if I'd listen. I was ten that year, and living in the State of Florida. The part in which I lived, while snowless, had this way of making the holiday season, feel "holidaysy", and Christmas, especially "Christmassy". That year, I want to say, really, really defined the feeling of "Christmas" to me...

[Shane]

The Mariah Carey song has become a classic. You're going to hear it whether you want to or not. I don't even listen to the radio and have already heard it a few times this year.

[Booyakasha]

Out of those, the only one I know for sure that I know is 'Last Christmas', which is lame even for Christmas music. I've probably heard most of them at some or other point (peril of working retail in December), but like who knows.

[CaptHayfever]

From that album, I know:
"All I Want for Christmas Is You"
"Last Christmas"
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
"Auld Lang Syne"
"It Came Upon a Midnight Clear"
"Silent Night"
"Santa Claus is Comin' to Town"
"Sleigh Ride"
"Let It Snow"
"The Christmas Song"
"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas"
"Winter Wonderland"
"Jingle Bells"
"Amazing Grace"
"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"
"White Christmas"
"Silver Bells"
"O Come All Ye Faithful"
"Ave Maria"

A lot of those tracks aren't the versions I would go with of those songs, though.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[Booyakasha]

So I looked it up, and I just realised that's that iteration of 'All I Want for Christmas is You'. Ugh. The song is bad to start with, and Mariah Carey's version in particular is like an air raid.
