I believe I'm up then.

2.2 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - Pop standard

I've chosen the Gene Autry version.  It takes me back to a simpler time.  (Whatever that means.)

 

[Northern Voice]

What is AFK? Away from Khristmas?

2.1 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - Pop standard

I've chosen the Gene Autry version.  It takes me back to a simpler time.  (Whatever that means.)

Growing up, the Gene Autry Christmas album played basically non stop in my house. I still really like it.

Pretty slick there! Had not heard that one before.

...

I usually like live orchestral versions of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". From recorded music, my options are somewhat limited (well, at least among the versions with which I am familiar). Given that, I'm gonna go with ...

2.04: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" - Mannheim Steamroller

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

 @JZilla is up to select a bunch of ferrets singing Santa Baby.

Im sure this has been covered but these two single picks at the bottom have to be from the 538 list, right?

I thought not, actually. Eephus?

 

[John Bender]

Here.  Gimme a minute

[John Bender]

Hoping this counts as Novelty, if not, move it to a more appropriate category?

1.13

The Chipmunks - The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late): Novelty

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

If singing chipmunks don't qualify as a novelty, I'm not sure what will. 

 

[John Bender]

2.01

Adam Sandler - The Chanukah Song: Wild Card

 

[John Bender]

If singing chipmunks don't qualify as a novelty, I'm not sure what will. 

Figured as much, but I'm a ####### and was struggling with the rules.  Think I got it now though.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Yeah.  How often are chipmunks performing in your town?

 

[John Bender]

Yeah.  How often are chipmunks performing in your town?

More often than Burl Ives

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

More often than Burl Ives

Good point.

Well now I have to find something else

 

[Eephus]

Any song from the respective era.  The 538 list was only used to choose the mandatory 7 songs.

 

[JZilla]

This will always remind me of my younger daughter who'd break into sort of a Walk Like An Egyptian thing whenever it would come on, and for a while I'd try to explain that's not how the hula goes, but I had to admit it was still pretty cool

pop standard yadda yadda

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I suppose this goes in the pop standard category, but you can also file it under Best Thing I Ever Bought at Pottery Barn (Christmas album, circa 1997).

Louis Armstrong & The Commanders -- Cool Yule

[Mrs. Rannous]

The category for "Rudolph" is wrong.  It is one of the mandatory choices.
