This is a remix from the song on the original '63 album, but I've been unable to locate it. It's not a pronounced change, but some instrumentation & backing vocals were added. Where can you find this version?
@lilacpenguins Nope! Super backcombing and a product that looks like a wire wide mesh basket -so it's easy for the pins to nestle in- , look them up on google or even on ebay if you want to see authentic ones
It is interesting that at Christmas we open "presents", becuase the present moment is the greatest gift that life gives us. It is the only thing we have at all times, the only real thing that never ends. We eventually end up throwing out most christmas presents, because they cannot last forever. But the present moment does.

Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!
Buy the CD "A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector"! This is not only the GREATEST Christmas album ever, it is one of the greatest of all albums, period. I listen to these songs year-round.
PEOPLES WAR - YES absolutely. The Spirit and the Hustle and Bustle that tends to be in the air magically. I am not sure how many of you have noticed it when out in your city or town. People are more gentler, more understanding, more united and more smiling than any other holiday. This song definitely captures the Christmas Spirit. Merry Christmas and enjoy your day today.
I love this version for the Ringa linga linga ding dong ding part. It makes this my favorite Christmas song and coincidentally the only one I can still tolerate.
This song, for me, signals Christmas TIME! I love all the religious songs and for me that is the #1 reason for the season. BUT, the Ronette's and this song together, makes Christmas for me!
@jackviolet21 thats in the original one. this is the best version! :) its the more upbeat one. :) they just added music instead of singing about a home of farmer gray or whatever. lol i like this one much much better.
Ok, Jimpsterz. Thanks. I just was just curios. I happen to be interested in accents anyway. No doubt some clever person could even pin-point from which part of New York City! Anyway, I appreciate your response to my question. I just love the sound of The Ronettes! For me, NOTHING beats the sounds of the sixties! As you Americans say; GROOVY! ;-) Or is that word a little 'square' these days?! ;-)
Ok, Jimpsterz. Thanks. I just wanted to be sure Ronnie (and the girls) had a New York City accent and it wasn't aquired from somewhere else or whatever.

As you Americans say; GROOVY! ;-) Or is that word a little 'square' these days?! ;-)
One of the best songs ever, only the Ronettes could sing this. Ronnie Spector is awesome. I'm 60 years old and remember when the Ronettes were popular.
@Sublimation99 Hay thanks for the reply, This music will live on for decades. We will never see a decade like the 50's & 60's ever again. I glad you enjoy the music.
I still remember one of the first times I heard this song...I was sitting in my living room and my dad had the radio on and it was snowing outside. And this song came on....and I have loved it ever since. And it always takes me back to that day.
I also had a Ronnettes Sleigh Ride video but it got taken down because of WMG copyright claim. But, I kept it in My Videos and filled out the form just a few days ago and now it's back
I always get a kick out of the backup vocals. Whose idea was the "ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ding-dong-ding"? Was it the Ronettes or Phil Spector who first thought of integrating that into the arrangement? Or someone else?
The first ever Ronnie Spector Darlene Love A Christmas Gift For You live concerts Dec 11 Robert Parilla Pac Montgomery College Rockville MD & Dec 17 Count Basie Theatre (Benefit for the Boys & Girls Club of Monmouth County) Red Bank NJ.

Phil Spector...he was the man in the late 50' and 60's....I bought his x=mas album on;ine..songs by Darlene Love, The Ronnettes and BobBSox and the Blue Jeans.
