[MrDoobie28]

Let us not forget Phil Spector was behind this, as producer - as he has been behind songs and groups too numerous to mention-well, I'll name a few -Ronettes, Righteous Brothers, albums by John Lennon,George Harrison and the Beatles,Ike and Tina Turner etc

In 2009 Spector was given a 19 year sentence for shooting an 'actress' at his California mansion.He is in the state prison in Corcoran.

Happy Xmas Phil-your music has been an integral part of my life.

to a Xmas bunny across the water xx

[susanneblokland]

Forget theme song for 2011. This is the ultimate Christmas song. I suppose we can thank Phil Spector.

[asset68]

This is my xmas theme song for 2011. lol. Anytime my mother and I are together, and we hear this song, we start doing the quick-step dance.... something my mom remembers doing in the 60's and quite good at it. I agree with elkingtr... it sticks in your head!

[Gamesrock096]

This is my favorite christmas song!!

[h0lystrike]

What movie is this in? probably quite a few i bet

[flpackman1]

@h0lystrike Goodfellas I think,early 1990s,Joe Pesci,Ray Liotta,Robert De Niro,Jay.

[TheSunGlassesThing]

Today it snowed for the first time. I was walking down the street, all the window shops were sparkly and, man, I love this time of the year! :)

[TheFoxBreakdown]

(: I love it. We've got our pig out session here this Thursday and then we start the Jolly season of the year! If there's one thing I can drink to, it's presenting a warm smiling atmosphere everyday until the New Year.

[TheXeximaBandos]

This song sounds something from 1958 not 1963 LOL

[Bonneville462]

Ahh yes, it's that time again.. I posted here last year..

I'm trying to talk the misses into a full blown party here this Christmas eve (Valia), I want to invite all forty of them to our small house with the big basement.. Life's too short to be worried about small details....

[AtlantaGymFan]

Sheer perfection from the most original female rock voice of all time - thanks!

[TezzersLovesJBieber]

[nyimtman]

Wow, now those are some outstanding back up studio musicians.

[Theshofumiah1]

[finylvinyl66]

@nyimtman Spector had the very best on his classic recordings.

[larrynealwaxmuseum]

My all time favorite Christmas Song. Thought I would play it since we have had a lot of days here in OKC of over 100 degrees. Good Post.

Larry N. Boyington, aka Larry Neal, former curator of the Wax Museum on the big 1520 KOMA

[gilllianlewis730]

EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS WISH THAT I COULD EXPERIENCE THE THRILL OF A SLEIGH RIDE, ALL WRAPPED UP WARM AND EXPERIENCING THE BEAUTY OF SEEING THE SNOW ON THE ROOF TOPS ETC. WHAT WOULD ROUND OFF THE PERFECT DAY WOULD BE GOING TO MIDNIGHT MASS AT THE LOCAL CHURCH SINGING CHRISTMAS CAROLS

[nauort23]

This song came out when I was but a wee embryo. Thanks, Ronettes for 47 years ot the best Christmas song ever!

[Bonneville462]

This is my favorite Christmas song!

Sounded fantastic with the Reverb system in my old 64 Pontiac Grand Prix ......

[sixtiesforever1966]

@Bonneville462 Love your 64 Pontiac Grand Prix. I had a 63 Bonneville Converytible all 21 feet of it.

Liked the 64 Gran Prix better.

My uncle had a 64 G.P 421 tri power, 4 speed, with the 8 lug wheel package. Those cars are worth a bunch today. Liked the clear plastic tail lights with the red underneath

[burnley5960]

@sixtiesforever1966 Great cars I had a red 3.8 Mk 2 Jag what a car

[sixtiesforever1966]

@burnley5960 Great Car! Always loved the JAG especially the 74 XKE V12 Roadster

[lamduanable]

Merry Christmas from Thailand.

[BiggiePanasonickTube]

[trishrubin]

I heard Ronnie sing this last week at BB Kings and she sounded GREAT!!!!! Ring a ling ling ding dong ding, everyone!!!

[dz0pzw]

Don't know if Phil Spector produced this, big that "BIG SOUND" ( wall of sound ) sure seems familiar.

[saguaroboy]

This is a pretty different mix than I'm used to!

[ZKoftherebellion]

Come on and bring your shovel, we're out for trouble and fright.

We'll take all we can carry from the old cemetery tonight.

In potter's field we'll disinter one dead person or two.

We need the freshest we can get; nothing sloppy will do.

[NozBoyHux]

@ZKoftherebellion I love this as much or more than any version of any Xmas song ever, but your version is hilariously awesome! Cheers!

[schuller51]

Great song any time of year !!!!!

[nancyfloressantos]

One of the happiest Christmas melody!

[sheenabrant]

love this song

[islandreamer0208]

the BEST rendition of this song

[zomgAvrilRocks]

These poor girls got scammed out of their royalties...

[TheKittycat911]

The people who disliked this probably fell on the mouse when they were singing and dancing along!

[guitargold77]

somebody was eating rice crispys while they record- oh a record

[lovewalk101]

@guitargold77 I would rather hear the sound of an old record with good music than to hear a new cd/mp3 (not to mention the crappier sound quality) with junk music.

[guitargold77]

@lovewalk101 I agree, you cant hear my tone when typing as I was just kidding, spose' I could have LOL but Im not a LOL'er. Actually I write in to complain to the download sights that their are no liner notes/jackets offered and even a so called Hi Def is still a mp3 and not a WAV, & to further the degrade free p3's are often mislabled and compressed, someone can have a version of Hound Dog labeled wrong as by Jerry Lee and with poor fidelity. I convert my lps to WAVS and scanned the covers

[Puppybear20]

3 people hate snow how can u hate snow????????

[seattlebari]

It must have been interesting recording this record at Gold Star in Hollywood during

the hot summer of 1962 when this project started. No digital recording, no Pro Tools,

and no editing, except razor blades and tape.

The genius of engineer Larry Levine, who gets little credit, along with members of

"The Wrecking Crew."

Some of us don't forget them.

[CuyahogaMustang]

@seattlebari I agree , I would have liked to have been a fly on

the wall for these sessions .

[Freyja1133]

Even I respect mr.Spector's creativity& talent....I don't  approve of what he did to Ronnie ...

ONly ROnnie& the girls can sing this this classic !

[TheKittycat911]

@Freyja1133 toootally!!!!! :) lol

[Freyja1133]

Even I respect mr.Spector's creativity& talent....I don't approve of what he did to Ronnie

[sheenabrant]

love this song its so christmassy

[emma8883]

It finally snowed today in Manhattan! YES!

[Freyja1133]

@emma8883 it snowed in the northwest suburbs of chicagofor the;last couple of days,emma

[flpackman1]

Verycool sound,thank you for posting this song.I am now in the Christmas mood officially,I live in south florida where the weather is lovely but not for a sleigh ride together,maybe a motorcycle ride,although it has been in the 40s the last couple of nights,at least the humidity is gone.I remember my dad playing this at xmas on our new stereo.Thanks again,Jay.BTW, Go Green Bay today,were playing the Niners today at Lambeau,now thats Christmas weather!!

[oakpark1000]

[DaveWollenberg]

Why'd Phil have the girls do a highly-truncated version of this 1? Somebody tell me why. God bless! He forgot the 'giddyp, giddyup' and all the rest of that.

[viniwis]
