Burl Ives' version of Holly Jolly Xmas was drafted earlier.  You can draft another version of the song or another song from the rock-era.

Give me the Michael Buble version then.

Reason for the Season - Stryper

It's there.. I wouldn't have taken it

 

[JZilla]

Must not be in Canada.  Heathens.  There are two on your list we can't get in the US.. Nana Mouskouri and Ray Conniff

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Must not be in Canada.  Heathens.  There are two on your list we can't get in the US.. Nana Mouskouri and Ray Conniff

If Canada is imposing trade barriers on Stryper can we at least slap a tariff on Rush?

 

[Northern Voice]

A google search found me the Stryper. It's greyed out for me but maybe works for you? I put it in the order it was drafted so it's up by Decemberists song. 

I added a different version of Conniff's Silver Bells, maybe it works? I only see the one version of Nana.

 

[JZilla]

Yeah the one that's just Ray Conniff works

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Try searching for "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy" for the Bowie/Crosby duet.

ETA: And thanks for compiling a master playlist of the draft!  Looking forward to playing it.

[Northern Voice]

Try searching for "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy" for the Bowie/Crosby duet.

Added a version in front of the other one up at the top but again it's greyed out for me, is it playable for the rest of you?

Eephus picked at 12:04. @Bruce Dickinson I think has timed out as well, I'll give it a few more minutes then pick to get this thing moving again.

I sent Bruce a shout out, and he replied back a few minutes ago. 

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Boarding a plane.  Skip me.

you're up NV

 

[Northern Voice]

Any Christmas song that includes the lines...

I’m three sheets to the wind
But the wind is a sleet, and this sheet ain’t one of snow to play beneath
And my nose is red, from the whiskey

and 

I’m CCTV video late night on Christmas Eve
Window shopping in full Santa suit
Blind drunk on the high street

...is a winner in my book.

10.12 - "A Doe to a Deer" - Los Campesinos - Wildcard

Simey is doing the Lord's work here.

Would it be easier if we just do an untimed round 11 pick on Tuesday?

 

[Northern Voice]

This is a song in a required category:

11.02 - "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" - Jack Johnson

 

[simey]

Simey is doing the Lord's work here.

Yes, or have people pick their 11th or any owed whenever they want today, and  tomorrow maybe start doing a pick in the day and a pick in the night.

 

[simey]

This is a song in a required category:

11.02 - "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" - Jack Johnson

The link is blocked. Here is another link. I like Jack Johnson.

 

[Northern Voice]

I messed up my categories at some point, thinking O Holy Night was a required one. Luckily I took the South Park version, so I'm moving it to "Novelty Song". I've updated it on the spreadsheet.

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

So am I up?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Ok, I almost went with Seth McFarlane's version of this, which is perfectly respectable, but I'm going to crib from eephus and go with the Brian Setzer Orchestra.

The Brian Setzer Orchestra -- [Everybody's Waitin' For] The Man With the Bag

That should be in the non-mandatory pop standards category.

 

[cosjobs]

Does this break the deadlock on inappropriately sexualized Christmas songs?  I enjoyed looking at the Wikipedia entry on this (I was looking for the composition date). 

I think my Put the X Back in Christmas smashed through that deadlock

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I think my Put the X Back in Christmas smashed through that deadlock

Yes, I later noticed that.

The most famous example of the genre has still not been taken, though.  A bit of a surprise, IMO.

11.x - If We Make it Through December - Merle Haggard (Sad/depressing/wistful/anti Christmas song)

Love, love, love the Merle song but  it wasn't on my xmas radar

 

[simey]

Love, love, love the Merle song but  it wasn't on my xmas radar

It is one of my favorite songs of his.

 

[cosjobs]

So I owe two (R10/11)?

What do you think, Eephus?

[Doug B]

There are two on your list we can't get in the US.. Nana Mouskouri and Ray Conniff

Voice, for the Nana Mouskouri track ... while the German language track I took is titled "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht", it could be in there as "Silent Night" by mistake.

 

[cosjobs]

If you force me to draft traditional categories, I reply with:

Tammy Faye Bakker / Jingle Bells

 

[Doug B]

You all can skip my 11th rounder ... will make it up later on. Will be driving.

 

[cosjobs]

Not a song, but this xmas episode of The Honeymooners is worth a yuletime watch

 

[JZilla]

Goofy Horatio Sanz/SNL bit, Stroked up

Julian Casablancas - Christmas Treat aka "I Wish It Was Christmas Today" .. title appears to be either/both

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wS-k66MKgs

This might fit novelty better than my other novelty pick so I'll mix it up.  I think most Christmas songs are novelty by nature 

 

[Ilov80s]

Round 10 

"I've been such a good little girl waiting all year for you. Now before you go away, how about you stay and show me a step or 2?"

Debbie and The Darnells. Santa Teach Me to Dance. Kids.

 

[Doug B]

Time for my Novelty Pick. After "D in a Box" went, I thought this wouldn't be too far behind. But lucky for me, Ms. Roger Murtaugh's "other" Xmas song is available:

11.09: "Christmastime for the Jews" - Darlene Love

.

 

[cosjobs]

Jingle Bells / LeBron, Nash, KD & Curry

 

[cosjobs]

Round 10 

"I've been such a good little girl waiting all year for you. Now before you go away, how about you stay and show me a step or 2?"

Debbie and The Darnells. Santa Teach Me to Dance. Kids.

nice

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

10.2  Mistress For Christmas  -  AC/DC  Post 1963 Rock era

11.12  A Winter's Tale  -   Queen  also post 1963

I miss Freddie.

(And I think I took Round 11 a wee bit early.  Sorry.)

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Six hours?  Did my deodorant stop working?

 

[Tom Servo]

Six hours?  Did my deodorant stop working?

*sniff* Nope.

 

[Doug B]

Bump - solid progress through 11 rounds ... we can keep this rolling!

 

[Eephus]

Sorry, I'm traveling this week and have lost track of where we are in the draft.  Thanks to Simey for bossing the draft yesterday and whatever elves are updating the Googlesheet.

I guess we should just post round 12 picks today, right? 

 

[JZilla]

Seems like most people have checked out.  Are we just doing a pick a day?
