  • CHRISTMAS!!! MERRY TO ALL!! AND WOW NICE LIGHTS

  • Love this tune, I hear it on the radio every year at Christmas time :D

  • fucking awesome bro

  • I love this song! For some reason it reminds of the night parade at Disneyworld!

  • @Hereismytwocents2011 You are so right. It does to me too! I can see the octopus and the jumping dolphins now!

  • Best version of Deck the Halls, EVER!

  • Mannheim Steamroller, trans-siberian orchestra, and for some reason ihdk but the Hilary Duff Christmas cd always make it feel like christmas

  • LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT

  • Siberia then play music. It must also help in keeping warm, Ha Ha Ha, Joke.

  • Alright, Yeah, Yahoo, my Christmas Jams, by Mannheim Steamroller. It's not Christmas for me until I hear Mannheim Steamroller. I love their name as well. C'mon what cooler sounding name for an orchestra could there be then Mannheim Steamroller??? I'm sure TSO is good to, but what boring functional name. I like to think Mannheim Steamroller is good because they worked hard at it. TSO I like to think good to because they also work at it. Also, There must not be anything better to do in...

  • GLADIUS: "Jingle Bell SHOCK!" new video UP NOW (see my profile for details)

  • one of my most favorite christams songs. the genius of it is inspiring. thanks star102 for playing this near christmas and for manhiem for writting it.

  • Gahhhh I listened to this and now I'm ready for it be Christmas already!!!!

  • If you like Chinese-made plastic musical Christmas trinkets with hearing aid batteries and little piezoelectric speakers, you'll love records like this.

  • @rrg019000 the notes aren't wrong.The key is changed in some parts on purpose because as far as I know it's an interpretation,what means the artist can change the notes.Sometimes interpretations don't sound even a bit like the original scores.The soundtrack for Tim Burtons "Nightmare Before Christma" is a good example,because various artists recorded their own versions of the songs from the movie :)

  • @zhuzhuproductions Christmas spirit...you don't have it. Spelling...you have not learned how to do it. Trolling...you fail at it.

  • sighs... gotta love this... :) Makes it feel like Christmas back home.

  • Just heard this song on the radio the other day on the way to work, was the first song of the day, good way to start it off, glad I found it on here as well.

  • is that your house cuz your neighbors must hate you hahah.

  • Is this in Spencer NC?

  • i love this song. my stepmom was always scared of this band which i found hilarious.

  • love this song but the vid is borring!!!!!!

  • 0:20

  • this reminds me of flash gordon

  • Took me about three years to find out who performs this version of this song. Now to find a version of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"

  • Merry Christmas from South FL 62 degress today love those lights!

  • merry christmas from casper wyoming

  • saw these guys in concert a few days ago.. prettttttttttyyy sweet. Saw them at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville Arkansas. ^_^

  • This song is so like, eccentric. If you were to sing it it would be like "Deck the Hall with bows of holly" over and over again.

  • I love Computerized lights!!!

  • Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau'oli Makahiki Hou from Honolulu Hawaii

  • I think this is my brother's favorite mannheim song.

  • Great vid! Never mind the smart alecs here!

  • I've always wanted to know how someone programs lights to match music...anyone know?

  • they probably had some sort of lighting board and converter, but i dont really no

  • DOH

    a car drives right in front of the vid.

    lawlz

  • I had no idea this band did THIS song. I know it so well and I'm not sure where the hell I've kept hearing it. Was this a popular tune in the 80s???

  • im gonnna get one of the boxed that let you do that

  • really cool dude

  • Chip Davis is an inspiration. Fans of Mannheim Steamroller just MAY enjoy "The Christmas Project" as well.

    ( tinyurl DOTCOM/TCP2009 )

  • I Loved it! The music, the synchronization with the lights, every thing!!! Thank you so much!!! Merry Christmas JRock!!!!!!

  • alot of time on your hand????? no matter it was great. time well spent.

  • wheres the regular version?

    so lamee

  • so effing cool!

  • thank u so much i have been lookin for this song

  • Anyone else think this sounds like the theme to a local newscast?

  • @glenbard07

    yeah they probably play it over christmas time

  • It is not, the guy was trying to help with the light show. I think the car added a nice effect myself. LOL. He probably had to get somewhere anyway. He didnt block the video, he got through there as quick as possible though so he didnt screw it to much.

  • I agree

  • i figured some of this out on a synthesizer. It sounds cool.

  • a lot of it is most of a syths. if this is the first time you're hearing Mann .s it's pretty cool and you are right...........MOST of it is all synth.............so....??? great ear.

  • There's only one real instrument in this song and its a horn, I'm pretty sure.

  • The first song in this video : "You make me wanna shout" Isley Bros but this recording is from Little Richard.

  • I honestly can't beleive this song is still so popular? I had it in my collection like? years ago............. but I'm glad it is......:)

  • it's just great!

  • word em up padude64

  • what song is it in the beginning

  • can't wait to go see neighborhood lights, get full on hot chocolat, and listen to this. Christmas 09 please hurry.

  • I agree!! I LOVE Christmas time!!!

  • I love this song! It's one of my favorite Christmas songs! We're playing it in orchestra and it's gonna suck, cause there's no way it could be as good as this...plus it's all strings...

  • Manheim is better than Transiberian!

  • Heck yes they are! I like Transiberian but Mannheim is THE BEST!

  • @padude64 lies

  • You best be trollin...

  • I so need 2 see MS in person!

    Preferably with a head full of perception enhancing organics...

    Timothy

    :o)

  • all my Christmases as a kid i spent listening to this. truly a classic. it never really felt like christmas until i listened to this, drank too much eggnog, ate too much fudge, and was burnt out on the sudden influx of presents.

  • @alphatotheomega7 Oh, you sound just like my children! When I turned this song on for the first time after Thanksgiving...usually when we were putting up our tree, the boys would run around the couch and living room, excited and yelling!! This song meant it was Christmas, to them! :-)

  • @alphatotheomega7 dude this is a damn awesome piece of christmas music

  • Nothing can compare with manheim steamroller. EVER

  • i can't wait for christmas 09!! always the best time of year :)

  • Transiberian so much better.

  • so  cool =]

  • Comment removed

  • this song is so 80s, so corny, so catchy. the bassline always makes me laugh doodoo doodoo

  • they need to do more Christmas songs in rock format, specifically, all of them.

  • you are retarded. Go to transsiberian orchestra for that. Mannheim is more chill.

  • so this isn't rock? What is it, Traditional Congolese?

  • New Age.

  • Alright....Its July........I want it to be the holidays. BEST time of the year.....Makes you forget the whole world and just revolves around love and joy.

  • Is it bad it's only June and I'm already ready for it to be Christmas? lol...

  • Who has the time to do this? I have always wanted to see one of these people put on this performance in person b/c I dont believe half the stuff I see.

  • sounds like something from rocky..

  • did u say boring?

  • nice

  • I wrote this,when I was drunk1

  • WHOOOOOOOO! I love this song half to death, and you've got good lighting!

  • i couldn't live if it wasn't for manheim

  • I've been to one of their concerts before but I fell asleep on accident because it was so late.:(

  • or were you subconciously bored? lol

  • No I had just rode in a car from like 5 in the morning and rode from florida to Missoury all day. And then the concert started at 10 30so I was almost dead.

  • I've got to download this song onto my computer. Does anyone know how?

  • thanks but I meant for free

  • buy it from one of the many places that sell it?

  • french horns are pretty much the best instrument. ever

  • no they aren't

  • then what is?

  • trombones are!

  • im playin dis in band in december

  • i know me to

  • do i know u?

    i think i might

  • my mom has this song on her album we both love she has all their albums, she wants to go see them but we can't afford that

  • im gonna see ms next month, its gonna be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

  • i know it is early yet, but wat a cool song! MS is the bommb

  • i played this in band last year

  • ever!!!

  • this song brings back memories... listening to it on christmas day opening presents...

    and decorating the tree... my whole family loved it- my dad has ALL of their CD's- even when they changed their name...

  • you toally astounded your neighbors

  • W2here is it this beautiful lightplay?

  • Why is that. Does only singing or playing the trumpet merit a good Christmas song? I have no problem with this song at all even being a youngster, not that age matters much. I still enjoy a Bing Crosby song to go along with these guys. By the way as just a question what does IMHO stand for, I haven't seen that one before.

  • Thanks for at least not being a hater, those kinds of people are just annoying. If you don't like it, then I guess you don't like it and there's pretty much nothing I can do to change it. If you didn't know they do have new age albums that aren't christmas albums if that's what you prefer.

  • They are French Horns.

  • Thanks for the info. Now that I think of it they do sound like french horns, although I couldn't recognize it at first. I mentioned the trumpet in one of my comments cus I play the trumpet, so I decided to go with that instead of just singing.

  • Totally awsome. Not only is the song great but the sync is perfect. You made a lonely mans holiday. Thank you. You have a great future ahead of you in any endeavor you seek.

  • No. It was on a different website. All I was saying was that it was a minor mistake that anyone could make. Hell, the person who posted the video spelt it wrong. It isn't a big deal.

  • ohh

    i see

    ok then lol thanks

  • Oh and just for the record Michiganhater45, Manheim Steamroller has sold more christmas albums then Elvis and Bing Crosby. So I think that proves the point. Infact I like this music enough to listen to it once or twice during the year even when listening to it is out of season. Manheim Steamroller rocks.

  • Manheim Steamroller didn't kill Christmas or Santa. If anything they made christmas better by revolutionizing christmas music. I was raised on this music. I thought that it was cool, because it didn't have that rather boring traditional Christmas music sound. I like the techo and synthisized(sorry for the spelling) rythems and beats of Manheim Steamroller.

  • Nice song and presentation!

    Thank you and Merry Christmas..............

  • Fantastic job, love the bells along the eves. I actually have a question about your display, since I am doing one too. Where did you get the scrolling sign? Had to make mine static and was looking for one like yours. I appreciate your help.

    Thanks!

  • i love this song! its so totally cool!

  • And you eat babies, stop screwing this up for others by posting pointless stuff. Yeah give me a thumbs down for being a hypocrite. but I like this song. and Manheim is freaking amazing.

  • michiganhater45: On the contrary, I think Manheim Steamroller renewed an interest in Christmas music back when they released it...and gave it a nice new twist to boot. You seem to be the only person I have found that doesn't like it. What a scrooge.

  • actually diptard...he made christmas better and who said santa well...was real...well...never mind in other words...you're insulting a very good artist jackass

  • well this is totally awesome!!!

    love the song and the lights are soo cool!

    great job :D

  • Do you have the music blasting outside of your house when this is going on? cause people might think youre on drugs if your house's lights are just randomly freaking out.

  • haha yea i thought about that to when saw this video i think that there is a sign outfront that says liek turn to this station to here and it will play that song along with the lights but as far as ppl walking by goes they probably dont get it

  • this is coolio

  • Omg they have a new CD out!!

  • ^.^ That is really cool!!

  • Happy Holiday's Everyone!!!!! And thanks for Posting this one, They make Christmas as far as Music goes! Love it!!
