Loretta Lynn’s “Country Christmas” is made musical with her dad on the organ. Corny pop country, what else?
C.W. McCall narrates the memory of another country time when Mama played the organ and we all were to “Sing Silent Night.” Sadly sad.
A couple sentimentalists have prefaced their “Silent Night” rendition with the 19th C. tale of the broken organ and the minister who penned a carol oh the fly without the need for one. Like J. Denver and the Muppets here. Sorry.
Comedy break from Hot Buttered Elves tells the story of “The Old Church Organ.” Dunt dun duhhhhh.
That old chestnut, “The Holly and the Ivy” invokes the playing of the merry organ for Christmas singing, so let us allow Silent Knight Riot’s punk posings.
As olden, “Christmas Bells (A Poem Read by Edward Ian Chappe)” brought to life by Carlos Fandango Music documents many symptoms of the season such as the merrymaking music of the organ grinder. Recitative pop.
Hokey easy listening from Ken Bascue, “Ave Maria On Christmas Day” sets the scene of the organ playing for his mother singing in church. Teardrops follow this memory.
MCS Singers try a more upbeat easy listening recounting that long time ago gift under (?) the tree: the organ! After which she tried to sing of a “Beautiful Christmas to All of Them” responsible for such generosity. Cheers!
More of a party easy listening, “California Christmas Remaster” by Bye Bye Mars features an announced organ solo as a gift to you. Check out the final refrain, though. Meta.
In personification, an electric organ celebrates “N8153A’s First Christmas.” This party pop by Party The Hut and Friends is basement friendly. BYOB.
