Does anyone know where one can find the absolute worst cover of Santa Baby? That should really get the holiday cheer going!

and there it is

 

(e): although sadly it isn't the worst ever

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

I'm not sure its the "worst" version mentioned earlier (IIRC Kitt's version is the original), but I couldn't resist.  Its Chekov's gun in internet form - you mention it on the first page it has to happen on the second.

 

I actually don't like Santa Baby as a Christmas song, to be honest.  Its not a bad song, but not a good Christmas song.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

And I know the electric violin lady's version was posted, but for that song I tend to prefer the vocal ones:

(yeah I like Penatonix...they have a lot of great modern harmonizing song versions)

Didn't know Carol of the Bells is a Ukrainian folk song, huh

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Can't go wrong with a punk rock version of The Little Drummer Boy.

 

 

;)

 

edit:

 

That really highlights how rhythmically strong the drum line of TLDB is.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

I heard the recent 2014 version of this song ... I still much prefer the original.

Edit: I've always found Sting's eye expression when he has to duet briefly with Simon LeBon hilarious (even tho it was probably just coincidental timing)
