Part Two’s cool stuff.
Lena brings us pop back around to silly romantic love with “All My Bells are Ringing.” And her heart is wrapped in a ribbon and a bow.
Christmas Choir w/Murgatroyd & Burrell use the ol’ Britpop to rally the kidlings around for Santa With those “Christmas Bells.” Run.
Lynne & Mike lull us to sleep with the kidsong “Sing-a-Ling Christmas.” Yawn.
I prefer the ear worm of The Cricketones’ “Ding a Ling Dong, the Sleighbell Song.” Giddyup, kidsong.
Reaching for both rock and kids, Freddy Cannon plays it safe and slow with “Santa’s Here to Stay.” It’s all about his bells: Let me hear you now!
The Bandana Splits are here for the yuletide sing-along. “All the Bells” is jump blues jazzy class all the way.
Slower swing from The Tractors swear “The Bells are Ringing” to let you know it’s Christmas time. Like that flashing blue light lets you know there’s a sale in Walmart.
Just as jazzy come A Harris and Hart Holiday with their big band-ish “Christmas Bells.” Hey, is this mockery??
Proper big band from Ruth Lyons sashays “Everywhere the Bells are Ringing.” That crystallophone makes my day.
Julie Christy is snazzy and jazzy when she tells you to “Ring a Merry Bell.” This is how the ’60s spelled cool.
Driftless Sisters bang the folk jazzily with “Hang a Little Bell.” Then the whistling starts. Wow. Can’t tell if they’re decorating or conjuring.
Modern jazz with a retro bent, Natalie Taylor’s “Holiday Bells” timpanically moves us into the season.
Just as spookily Keziah Kate Gwenaelle invokes “The Holiday Bells,” That can break bad curses and spells–mostly in English. Worldly.
Passable doo wop from Sea Na Na (what they do) involves those “Christmas Bells.” The ding dongs are a cappella here.
Groovy doo wop from Ultimate Ovation syncopates “It’s Christmas” with much more ding a linging a cappella.
Modern-retro doo wop from Make Like Monkeys swirls up “Jingle Jangle” into a new dance craze. Weeee.
