God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

[vitoisi]

i do not know what is wrong with some people writing that horrible language just because you can get away with it. you should be ashamed of yourself. young kids are on this, you idiot.

[dynamothomar]

i love it

[joeldpeterson]

specifically in response to BHC's comment a way's back calling the BNL a bunch of talentless heeb's.

I called him pretentious and said he had no right to musically criticize people infinitely more talented than him.

[joeldpeterson]

if youtube would actually show which comment i was replying to. you'd have seen that it was in response to a negative comment about this version. I love this song.

[walterandchad]

By far, my favorite x-mas song... pure joy, perfect melody, awesome voice......second, the Boss, Santa Claus is coming to town, third, Manheim Steamroller....

[llamagoose]

Thank you for this! Awesome.

.... I don't hear any cracking in Sarah's voice... that's just how she sings.

[aldaan33]

Her voice is amazing i cant get over it, really good song

[withnail555]

Really shouldn't work but just does.

[emrrbv]

with apologies to the late nat king cole,this may be the best xmas song i've ever heard in my life. it took me a while to figure out who this group was. it has such a nice lively beat and they sing it with such joy & enthusiasm and an almost peter, paul & mary-ish quality that on a scale of 1-100, i'd give this 102.

[angstagangsta]

sarahs voice keeps cracking. she shouldnt b in it >_>

but this song frickin pwns!

[xtranet1]

I kinda dig the crackin

[soxpeg]

i absolutely love this version. now iknow who sings it i never would have guessed

[koyote1104]

very glad to find a vid with the actual song. Good video and good quality 2.

Thanks!

[Paintpro91952]

Awesome ... possibly the best version I've ever heard!

[singer4life2day]

I'm singing this song for a xmas thing at my church I'm singing Sarah's part =D

[savedhaf4u]

good version

[FriendlySpiderFriend]

I love this song, but I'm confused about the the lyrics because the verses are of the song

"We Three Kings of Orient Are" but the refrain is of the song "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".

so I'm a little confused can any of you guys help me out?

I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

[bouf]

its called a medley, people tend to do that, combining songs that seem to have a nice flow together.

[flutey28]

Who cares BNL is so original!

I love them!

[Theatforone]

Seriously! One of the best versions of this song ever! Thanks for posting- great art too.

[ShadowsGuitarist]

i like the guitar parts, best Christmas song tho by far

[justmelisa2006]

I love this song! I like how the barenaked ladies made it poppy and sarah's voice is just beautiful as always :D

[Technopath1]

barenaked ladies?

bare naked ladies??? ^~^

[sccrsuper95]

this is my FAVORRITEE christmas song. and I absolutely love this version. Merry Christmas!

[SylviaRebecca]

Thank you for this!! I had recorded this a while back but forgot who performed it. This is my absolute favorite version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".

[parvanaturalia]

Good version. I prefer the Ella Fitzgerald version, but this one's really good too.

[PimpmoreSlim]

this is defenitly the best version of this song in my opinion

[havinfuninwb]

Love this song!!!

Have a Merry Christmas!!

[wildwoodsrule]

So glad SOMEONE put up a decent video for this, LOL. I find the freshness of this rendition remarkable.

[scorpion4190]

nice song

[Blair0927]

This would be crap if it were not for Sarah Mclachlan and her melodies.

[fallbird11]

this is one of the best christmas songs

[donaldengine9]

This is my favorite version of this classic carol!

[MyThrillKillKult]

Very nice song .. Merry Christmas !!!!

[Prometheusfunke]

Love it!

[bunjumen]

[peepit03]

[agollaglee]

[Luvai]

Wasn't the version I was looking for, which doesn't seem to be up on Youtube anymore :(

Like this version anyway.

Anyone got the chords for this?

[ApostolicGrinch]

[mollyflanders]

I'm doing my happy dance! This song rocks!!!

[josia371]

2:02 and on is the part that really gets me, idk it's just the harmony of their voices together is really just amazing and strikes a "soothing nerve" i guess u might say, in my brain... lol idk it's just ....Amazing

[whiiitn3yy]

for some odd reason.

i like this song.

:/

[jkklotz]

I am over the moon to find this song!!!...

[johnlorican]

I had never heard this version until our youth pastor at our church, and some of the kids in their early twenties, performed it a few years ago. I loved it (I'm 47); they did a great job!

When they listed the credits as to who originally sang it, the credit in our church program was 'BNL'...no need to start a controversy, ya' unnastan' (!)

It's a great version of a great Christmas song.

[josia371]

giggidy giggidy giggidy giggidy giggidy giggidy goo u r a poo

[josia371]

that last comment was just a bunch of crap my sister wrote, don't mind it sorry

[BCH19821091]

Carly Simons version is conservatively 50-100 times better than this in every musical aspect but this is a decent version for a clad band of talentless heeb's.

[Toloveandtoforget]

I wouldn't insult Sarah Mclaughlin. An amazing celtic voice has more over Carly Simon.

[Briskout]

Who?

Exactly. Carly Simons = Trash. Good day.

[joeldpeterson]

What a pretentious little fucking comment.

As if you're the one who performs better than this.

[uberbusy]

i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve this song

[Dragonfire76]

My dad has always adored this song, and now I do, too...Sarah McLaghlan has a beautiful voice~

[SaintVire]

it's got a bit of "we three kings" thown in the middle there.

love the imagination in it :)

[blueway9]

love love love this version by them. Especially the guitar strumming. thank you for making my day ;-D

[watermelonshine]

ME TOO =D

[c3bss256]

Just the best version of this song EVER.

[Transformersfan05]

I think this song is so cool. This version is the best!

[Rols4321]

I have always loved this version. I agree the chorus is great

[DartM109]

hey, goood luck =)

I actually like this song now lol

and I have to learn how to play this on my guitar, and sing for our school's men's choir for our christmas assembly soon lol

[uglydollzRcool]

i have to know this song for a play im auditioning for

[supercc813]

Nice song ^.^

[Theatforone]

This could be quite possibly one of the most beautiful versions of this song I have ever heard! Especially the chorus-- how original. And I for one love Sarah's voice... anyone else? Happy Holidays.

[LadyReginaSmiles]

I don't like Sarah McLachlan's voice, she always sounds so depressing, like she could sing "Happy Birthday" and it will make you want to kill yourself.

[crackerjack810]

haha true

[koolgalkogal]

I love this acoustic version

[inf3cteddreams]

Shit... I'm going to perform this song, and I'm a freaking drummer...

I'm going to sing... Holy crap...

In front of the whole freaking school!

[SmartGuyMan]

Methody?

[SwordOfTruth3]

Just a ride man, just a ride : )

[LDellaPeruta]

You'll be fine, man. Have faith in yourself.

[inf3cteddreams]

Thank you :)

I think I'll be okay :)

Thanks again!

[weakestlink41]

i luv it, the vocals are so rich and warm you cant help but think of Christmas.

[weakestlink41]

very nice

[TheNewOrangeCrush]

my favorite xmas song ever! :p

[jubejubexox]

love this version of the song. its fantastic!

[OHLeeRedux]

This is a good song. If I'm not mistaken, the original was written by Ron Dante, also the author of the great rock n' roll classic "Sugar, Sugar." All great music has been written by Americans, without a doubt.

[whollybologna]

what's the name of the album anyone know? I'd love to get a copy of it here.

[watermelonshine]

idk if that other commen posted so i'll say it again

it's called barenaked for the holidays, it's really good!

(srry if i said it twice)

[NevadaHawkeye]

It's an amazing version of the song. I wish I could find a clear video of them as they sing. Thanks for posting.

[emrrbv]

this song is an absolute masterpiece. the mona lisa of xmas songs. might even like it better than nat king cole's chestnuts roasting,which is really saying something.

on scale of 1-100, give it 101.

[skaterj33]

i shouldnt have commented

[skaterj33]

i know im goin to get lots of dissageees wit the thumb but i dont like this song

[weakestlink41]

hey, yer right!!

[Poejoy]

Actually the whole album is worth buying--and it has come out the last couple of Christmases.

[championjeep]

Thanks for the upload! Very nice version of this song.

[jellybean756]

loooooooooooove it!!!

[willowtreephoto]

[greggers2006]
