Hall and Oates Jingle Bell Rock

[MrBobTomato]

I will upload the John Oates version of it in December 2012. (The Daryl Hall version is in my channel right now)

[MrBobTomato]

I'm pretending to hear this in January and have Christmas again! :D

[MrBobTomato]

Is that John Oates singing at this time?

[St00pidN1gga]

for some reason, christmas this year went by so fast :( I guess the older you get, the faster the holidays pass by

[jeremymango]

This video was directed by Steven Spoogeburg himself!!!!!

[zalewskimm]

Hall and Oates 4ever!

[Huskerking]

I love it when Oates sings lead!

[boredboytn]

Sadly, I remember when this was new. :(

[enrikin]

Happy Chrismas

[sexypadri]

Oates acting made my day xD

[catchmeifyucan1]

the first :25 seconds I thought it was a gay couple celebrating Christmas together. Then the guests arrive---ALL DUDES. So I guess it was a Tinkerbell party

[catolog96]

It is not Christmas until I see this video!

[BitchKitty2000]

For such a good re-make of this classic Christmas tune, I always thought they could've done a much better video. It's just too corny and silly!!! However, I always LOVED John Oates' Porn-Star Moustache and they show some great shots of him in this video.

[MrBobTomato]

3 days until Christmas! Yay!

[therealraybaby]

Happy Holidays 2 all! 

[pyrogyra72]

From Beavis and Butt-head. "Don't let Primus in. They'll trash the place. ( 0:45 )

[iknowwhyyouare]

@pyrogyra72 I am so happy they are back on the air.

[catolog96]

Best. Christmas. Video. EVER.

[stestar09]

Sucka my Sucka my Sucka my ....

[Hot80s]

Thanks guys

[wellhowyoudoin]

@Hot80s, that's because this is the John Oates version.

[Hot80s]

THATS NOT DARRYL HALL'S VOICE...WTF???

[MrCarl220]

@Hot80s John Oates 

[memonk11]

What did they do to the audio track?

[sqlcomp]

doesn't anyone have a sense of humor?

[blackvelvetnhissmile]

I feel strangely aroused after watching this. There's just something about a dude with a porn 'stache, a christmas tree and ole saint nick that gets me going!

[donn409]

Instead of Bobby Helms the original should've been done by ELVIS.

[Kuroneko388]

Did anyone c the literal version to this? It's pretty effing funny.

[RegenTanzer1]

love it! (one of my favorite versions of this tune!)

[pickzkickz]

Why are there two different versions of this? Anybody else ever notice that? This is not Hall singing, the other video of this he is.

[darrinbaker00]

@pickzkickz This one has John Oates singing lead, the other has Daryl Hall singing lead.

[kitty1978100]

MUY LINDA ME ENCANTA!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kelsey7717]

THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO THAT HAS EVER BEEN CREATED. I'm going to be laughing for days

[rebeline42]

GE Smith in granny drag is hilarious!

[PrinceOfEternos83]

This video is hilarious.

[HKincade5]

This is not Hall & Oates.

[inconvenientruth1]

@HKincade5 Yes it is retard.

[HKincade5]

@inconvenientruth1 It's the right video but that's not them singing.

[inconvenientruth1]

@HKincade5 It sounds like a re-recorded version

[HKincade5]

@inconvenientruth1 Could be. 

[PhillyCloud123]

I cant tell the difference between Daryl and John's voices

[mratfauver]

@PhillyCloud123 There are actually 2 different versions of this song: one with Darryl singing lead and this version with John singing lead.

[Bozionjr]

I'm am Dave ! Yognuaght

[MrKrokniK]

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMON!

[Annessenn]

[dontnowhattobecalled]

Simon sent me!

[MEXICA84]

Wasn't this song in a movie in the 80's??? anyone?

[j0oe]

@MEXICA84 I was sure this version appeared somewhere in the home alone movie but its not listed on the songs list so i was probably wrong :( .. tell me if u find out ..

[ArchSupporter]

Reminds me of the Enzyte commercials. Laughing so hard I'm crying!

[XiahgoSQUEE]

The literal version has more views. WIN.

[Vebinz]

Why is it bad?

They're having fun and behaving in a stereotypically "Christmas-card"-ish manner.

Not everything has to be so damned serious and "dark and gritty" like today.

[henrycatgoesmeow]

i have no idea how i got to google this, but it was HILARIOUS

[MrBubonicChronic]

0:46 "uh oh, better not let primus in" "yeah, they'll trash the place. and break stuff."

[Cristinact]

There was still plenty of room for all those locked out!! lol

[majesticteam12]

you guys need to check out livefromdarylshousedotcom

[kdeviljay]

This is one of the best music videos ever. It is intentionally bad and that is why it is so good. You just want to watch it again and again.

[knightman718]

I sorely miss T-Bone Wolk. This is the first Christmas where I'm watching this video & he's not around. I met him & Charlie DeChant (their sax player) once after a concert on the streets in NY after Hall & Oates left in their limos & they hung around with the fans, speaking with us & taking photos with us. Thankfully my brother had his camera with him that day. T-Bone was one of the nicest guys around & a great bass player too. I remember he said he was leaving to go to his place in Vermont.

[majesticteam12]

@knightman718 Is that T-Bone with the turkey and John at .55?

[wtcvidman]

@majesticteam12

Yes that's him. And you could see him playing the bass later next to Daryl.

[majesticteam12]

@majesticteam12 - yeah I thought so - thanks - too bad he's gone. He really did not look well over the last few years. What a talented guy.

[catolog96]

Gotta love their sense of humor! Happy Holidays!

[Mato1970]

Is that G.E. Smith in drag? LOL!

[gunsnhalen]

Merry Christmas Everyone =]

[ACORNSUCKS]

Nice

[xxx3ddi3xxx]

Merry christmas!! EVERRY ONE!!!! FROM HUDSON COUNTY NEW JERSEY.

[mcyovag24]

merry christmas

[mcyovag24]

merry christmas from manila. the best christmas in the world

[tsartodd]

the only way this video could be gayer would be if Elton John and George Michael were singing and prancing around in assless chaps.

[tomcat13claws]

I love this video.

[bboyemme]

@tomcat13claws Yeah I love it too. It's a great song to play in the background while I'm drilling your mothers loose vagina. Little bitch.

[tomcat13claws]

@bboyemme "little bitch" I didn't know wiggers liked thus kind of music?

[bboyemme]

@tomcat13claws Haha I took one look at your page and you got the most fked up videos favourites. Charles Manson? Black Sabbath and aerosmith? LOL what are you like 50? Haha you stupid old man shut the fuck up and go to sleep.

[RichieScorpio64]

@bboyemme Show some respect at Christmas--you sick trolling freak!

[angel12965]

I really like holiday song that rock!!!!!!!!!!

[O2H1984]

Also, notice that the billilng here is "John Oates & Daryl Hall" because Oates is singing lead.

[O2H1984]

I think the hall version is the better of the two

[Techa018]

This is so stupid acting, i ment to say this video sucks :D But this song is the best out there :D

[Marssin35]

did anyone notice that the grandma is G.E. Smith before saterday night live?

[knightman718]

@Marssin35

Smith was their lead guitarist for a while in the 80's. He was at the Liberty Concert in '85. I'm pretty sure he left when Daryl went solo. Then when Hall & Oates got back together for their Ooh Yeah album, they had a completely new band.

[fortehlulz9999]

@knightman718 Smith was their lead guitarist from 1979 to 1985. He also played on Hall's second solo album in 1986.

[wtcvidman]

@fortehlulz9999

Yeah. I think his last biggest performance was at the Liberty Concert on 7/4/85. He was probably on tour with them until their last performance date that year.

[hoosierpunx70]

Is doesn't get any gayer than that.

[LilMizTyler]

I just love this version.

[petertao]

Not sure if anyone notice, it is not Hall and Oates singing this song. Just watch the other version on this and you'll find out.

[TakeshiandTobi]

@petertao really???

[davesantiagallery]

@petertao It is. They did 2 versions. Oates sings this version, the other version is Hall singing. The videos are different. This one shows Oates singing, the other shows Hall singing. And, I'm not sure, but I believe there is a third version of the song and the video where they are both singing.

[ROYROYROYROY123]

badass moustach

[beatryxa]

love it!, wish that time can come back

[BtoZproductions]

wow granny can rock!

[gearsofwargamer1976]

this video is so bad it hurts, I guess we were easier to entertain almost 30 years ago.

[deejrandom]

I think the video is sententially cheesy,. It is a fun parody of Christmas videos/tvshows/etc.

[curvy71]

i love Hall and Oates but this video is Cheesy

[adscomics]

The song is great but the video wasn't as good

[lordbemylight]

Why didn't they sing this together???

[oprahIV]

At 9 seconds Daryl starts laughing.

[Chopdudes031]

awesome video and happy almost holidays

[xTranceFamilyx]

I Cant wait For Christmassssssssssssssssssssss­sssss!!!! :D

[wolfman23ed]

wow why classic music is always the best simply they ROCKKKK!!!!!!! thanks for uploading it wasnt a very high quality but i play it over n over luv it ..

[UBIQUEROL]

0:15 Borat having a ver niiiiiiiice Christmas.

[ThaReenter]

My mom went to school with these guys

[bigtimcny]

Sad to see T-Bone passed away last weekend from a heart attack (bass player) Him and GE Smith (Granny hear) were also band members with Paul Schafer for SNL for many years. Thanks for posting this--brings back memories.

[Whaddavideo]

Hey, it's John's version! Haven't seen it in years, nice!

[kluggin]

super hardcore... fo'shizzle. That's christmas new rock song fo'me!

[MrBigdaddyjustin]

l0l

[jonnybzzzzc]

very nice......

[nyshortline]

Only the last 37 seconds of this video are different than the Hall version. I like this version better because I rarely ever hear John sing lead. I know Daryl is the primary songwriter but I just wish John would sing more.

[Whaddavideo]

@nyshortline I noticed one other thing different in that John gets a turkey as a present; he doesn't in Daryl's version...

[nyshortline]

Yes, very observant. Replacing that scene was a guy with a propeller on his head that starts spinning when he gets his present. Thanks for pointing that out.

[O2H1984]

@nyshortline when they first started out in the early 1970s, John did sing lead quite a bit if that makes you feel any better.

[fortehlulz9999]

@nyshortline Their manager, Tommy Mottola, thought that putting Daryl in the forefront would sell more records. It did. Hall & Oates became less of a duo and more of the Daryl Hall Show. Not that I have anything against Hall but pushing Oates back was a mistake artistically and possibly commercially. There were a number of Oates led songs from the 80's that should have been hit singles like "Italian Girls", "Friday Let Me Down", "Cold, Dark & Yesterday", etc.

[nyshortline]

@fortehlulz9999 Thanks for that info. Happy Holidays to you.

[odinmp5]

@fortehlulz9999 interesting info...

i always thought mottola was an ass...

[fortehlulz9999]

@odinmp5 Yeah, he was a mixed bag - great manager but a real asshole. They kind of go together in my experience. You don't want a pussy nor a megalomaniac. H&O stuff from the 70's definitely show their prowess as a duo. If only that had carried over into the 80's +. The reason they broke up was Mottola wanted DH to have a solo career which he thought = more money than H&O. Ironically, RCA pulled the plug on his 1986 album after one Top 5 Hit. H&O were a known $ maker. Hall solo? Not so much.

[fortehlulz9999]

@fortehlulz9999 Meaning RCA didn;t want Hall going too far off the reservation because his career might fizzle and H&O might suffer as a result and that was a bonafide money machine.

[TorresFreddy]

This Video Brings Me Up! LOL, Idon't know why but it's cool.

[g4n0nd0rf7]

es que el bailecito que hacen parece eso

[g4n0nd0rf7]

alguien que traduzca mi untimo comentario por favor, como se dice que estan aguantando las ganas de mearse en ingles?

[g4n0nd0rf7]

parece que estuvieran aguantando las ganas de mearse

[jaethehilleran]

I heart G.E. Smith. :)

[frogamigo]

rawk!

[katemichaels1]

I'm sure they were laughing their asses off when they watched this afterwards!

[heartabc]

I bet they were doing that in between takes too!

[TakeshiandTobi]

@katemichaels1 maybe i agree with u...but i think this is awesome PV. thats heartwarming! :D

[snidelywhiplash]

Heh. I knew there were two different takes of this song, with each guy singing. But I had no freakin' idea there were two different VIDEOS! Awesome!

[mantan20]

The difference is how passively smooth DH looks at 1:40 playing the guitar instead of dancing at the same stage when he had lead vocals....

[PRMA04]

nice im ROUMAIN good muzic..

[happylaughplace]

Mustaches own.

[rossangeles]

Oates owns.

[shaznroses]

Oates can sing!! possesion obssesion,how does it feel to be back,Las Vegas Turnaround etc...are some of the best H&O tunes!

[mantan20]

ahh the slightly (or more) inferior John Oates version.....another example of why he never should have had lead vocals

[motherlovesaman]

omg, you are soooo right, the guys can't make this tune stand at all! lofl

[johnny10301968]

i disagree.

[johnny10301968]

i disagree.

[RDG484]

I disagree. While Daryl unquestionably has a better quality to his voice, I think John can hold his own pretty well.

[leoo1313]

I remembe when this video came out. I love it.

I love H & O!!!

[Cruisebombbrainfan]

It reminds me of Rambo

[lasigmaman]

G.E. in drag! Awesome!

[Lu70sChild80sFan]

Someone posted in here that Daryl Hall turned 61!!!! He's still HOT!!! I knew he was born in the late 40's but cripes...That snuck up!! A 26 year difference...Not too shabby!! LOL!!!

[Lupin3rd]

This is the Oates version. There is also a Hall version. Pretty much the same video, just different singers.

[15scottie]

this does not sound like hall and oates singing.

[timtam888]

merry xmas

[rihannarules999]

merry christmas and happy hannukah for all jews!!! (happy holidays and a happy new year!!)

its that time of year again!!

[dlpine]

Happy New Year!!

[dumbomama]

They are very funny! Merry Christmas to all of you.

[packyoursuitcases]

are these guys gay ?

the one with the dark hair is HOT

[MeoCaroline]

I hadn't heard this version before, I was looking for 'Out of Touch'. But, I'm loving it, it's fantastic!

[Shahamu]

Whoa it's Geraldo!

[wolphintv]

I'm not sure it's possible to make a non-cheesy video for a song like "Jingle Bell Rock" (I like how _The Book of Ratings_ says "it barely qualifies as 'Jingle Bell Easy Listening'" LOL). This is pretty cute.

[evilwillhunting]

Rumor is, the original singer (Bobby Helms) said he straight out refused to sing the song, because he thought it was so insipid. He only recorded it because he was threatened with firing if he didn't.

[Bluejay321]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!  Merry Xmas!!!!

[viewingut]

It's so bad, it's great.

[jinxkies]

Gotta Love the 80s'!!!!!!!

I loved it when Mtv played Christmas songs all Christmas day!! I waited for this to come on!!

[Harry44Callahan2]

Too cool! Love this song, love Hall & Oates rendition of it!!!

[pimpdaddyg]

Beavis and Butthead watched this video on their Christmas special. It was too funny.

[iknowwhyyouare]

Love G.E. as the Grandma.

[jbc33333]

very good and no they are not gay ....

[Bluejay321]

Song rules. Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Chanukah, and Merry Xmas to all!!!!

[BabaBooey8371]

gayyyyyyy

[musicvideoswhd]

ok guys, BabaBooey8371 is officially, out of the closet

<--- backs slowly away

[gdaddy73]

DO YOU THINK HALL PITCHED OR RECEIVED?

[BabaBooey8371]

He was real angry on Howard Stern last week and living like a hermit in the wilderness. I'm guessing he was the catcher. Great interview though.

Oh my! musicvideoswhd finally outed me 'rolls eyes'

[H4LL04T35]

Who was angry?

[daryl176]

I ღ U SOOO MUCH DARYL!

[petfre123]

I did not see this video before but love it. I like the merryand happy feeling they protraid. John sounds great. It's good looking back at how they looked then. They still look great today.

[asiansual]

First of all, John...you sound great! I just wonder why you didn't sing as often. Also, it's now Oct. 11, 2007, HAPPY 61st BIRTHDAY DARYL!!!

[jsj1977]

The really hokey acting, G.E. Smith as Granny with the guitar, and a decent rendition, too...I've been looking for this video forever!!! Thanks so much!

[coralprincess25]

A favorite Christmas music video of mine. The H&O arrangement of this song is great. You can't help but smile while watching this. Thank you for posting!

[chuckles1975]

Wow, I could have sworn that Daryl Hall sang the whole thing, I don't remember John Oates taking over in the end. Good video anyway. Hell, it's September, and this has me in the X-mas mood already!

[musicvideoswhd]

there were 2 versions-one, hall sings lead, the other, oates sings lead

<:+)

[zmshaw81]

That is the 80's VH1 logo in the lower right hand corner. This video is original!!
