There are some good, clever and fun Christmas tunes that programmers should consider looking into.
In 2002, there was, and maybe still is, a group called THE FAB FOUR. They put out 2 CDs in which they combined well-known Beatles tunes with the lyrics from Christmas carols and tunes. "Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer" is sung to the tune of "I Saw Her Standing There".
These are truly inspired and entertaining. I took them to a staff Christmas party at a Social Service agency, and once they started playing the first CD, that's all that was played the rest of the evening. People were interested in acquiring the CDs. They are on the Laserlight Digital brand from the Delta Entertainment Corporation. There is an address on the CD box, indicating a Los Angeles address.
Almost everybody plays John Lennon's "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" and Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas time, but earlier this decade Ringo Starr, the Beatles drummer, put out a good Christmas CD called "I Want To Be Santa Claus" (Mercury Records), featuring his take on some well-known and traditional tunes along with some originals. He does "Rudolph..." too. He also fleshes out the quick little Beatles Christmas tune that appeared on one of their fan club records, "Christmas Time Is Here Again", and turns it into a full song.
