Where to start
It is Christmas time and I seem to be loving it like I did when I was a kid!
I had Alexa playing Christmas songs yesterday and this first one came on and I was hell yeah why haven't I played Barenaked Ladies on a ttt!
First of all let's hear .....
Barenaked Ladies - "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings" Feat. Sarah McLachlan
Barenaked Ladies (also known as BNL are a Canadian rock band who formed in 1988 in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, Ontario. I have no idea if the Canadian Scarborough is on the coast like our Scarborough in the UK.
I digress BNL are known for their quirky, catchy tunes and witty lyrics.
This carol is one of their best known tunes taken from the 2000 album called BARENAKED for the HOLIDAYS.
Barenaked Ladies - If I Had $1,000,000
What would you do with a million dollars?
So this is a whimsical song of theirs and from their 1992 album Gordon. This catchy tune humorously lists all the things Ed Robertson would buy for their loved one if they were rich, from a house and a car to "a monkey."
It's a playful take on love and materialism, showcasing their signature wit and quirky charm which is no surprise that they did infact write and perform the bonus tune for a very famous TV show...
So perhaps with a million dollars you could buy loads of Christmas decorations like ....
Barenaked Ladies - "Jingle Bells"
... Jingle Bells yeah could buy a fair few of them with a million dollars!
Jingle Bells as you haven't heard it before and taken from their album Barenaked for the Holidays.
A fun song and appropriate carol for todays ttt!
Of course to close this ttt out, we have to go to a tune that you may well not know but was specifically written for the show by Barenaked Ladies ....
BONUS TUNE ~ Barenaked Ladies Perform 'The Big Bang Theory Theme'
Which was your favourite fun Christmas tune?
Note: The 4 YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
I wish that you all have a brilliant rest of your week, and until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶
Thanks for visiting!
Merry Christmas Everybody🎄🎅
