Sure, we've heard this one a million times. But, the quintessential 80's sound that Wham! brings to it fits in a way that makes us think this is how the song was meant to be performed.
This song smells like pine needles and feels like a warm fire. I challenge anyone to feel anything but comfort and joy while listening to this one.
Jingle bells...but make it funky. This is the one to put on when the egg-nog starts hitting.
Of course we love young Michael's vocal performances, but do you hear that bass line The Funk Brothers are laying down!?
This one is for everyone who's holidays might not be picture perfect. And to all those folks: Its okay to be a little sad on Christmas. You're not alone!
The way the whole band effortlessly slides between iconic melodies and smooth solos makes this song the perfect background to Christmas dinner.
He says it best : "Don't you give me all that jive About things you wrote before I's alive 'Cause this ain't 1823, ain't even 1970 Now I'm the guy named Kurtis Blow and Christmas is one thing I know So every year, just about this time I celebrate it with a rhyme."
This song makes me want a Silk Sonic Christmas album.
Until then, I'll just play this on repeat.
Okay, I know I know...This one is severely overplayed. But its Paul McCartney! And this is the remastered version with new weird synth and vocal parts so it gets a pass.
Ugh. The soul jsut oozes off this one. Just do yourself a favor and put it on.
