  • dat low voice

  • thtas the famous leon redbone fools

  • ♥I wish i new how to break this spell♥♥♥ Iove this song + movie

  • I prefer the version of She and Him (Zooey and M Ward)

  • would be perfect if it was zooey and michael buble!

  • Some big black dude is raping zooey?

  • zoey and Michael buble would make the best combo for this song

  • 31 people are stuck in blizzard.

  • i liked will farrel better.

  • look up Dave Ryan in the Morning- Baby its Cold outside and then yes you will understand

  • It's a great song especially with Zooey Deschanel but I don't really like Leon Redbone's voice in this song with her. He sings it too deep. I liked Will Ferrell singing it with her more. Just saying.

  • My professor gave a ten minute lecture on why this is the "date-rape" song.... The scary thing? It made sense...

  • @XxBloodiestRosexX i read this comment and really paid attention to the song and lyrics.....kinda creepy O.O lol

  • such a rapey song

    

  • Aww, why can't there be a LOVE button? Well, atleast there is a like button. Not the same though....

  • I wish I could "Love" this

  • I love Leon's voice. It contrasts Zooey's, and sounds so deep and melodic, something that really captures someone's mind when first listening to this song

  • "I thought we could make gingerbread houses, go iceskating and hold hands."

    "....No"

    I effing love this movie to pieces...I enjoy Leon's voice over Wills. His is so much smoother and much more jazz like.

  • for some odd reason, the beginning of this song reminds me of toystory.

  • @TheMacHatter Lol, I never thought of that, but it really does

  • Give me the Lyrics!!!!!

  • I love this version of the song! Leon Redbone has been a favorite of mine for at least 35 years and pairing him with the lovely Zooey Deschanel here works like a charm! Actually my SECOND favorite verison with #1 going to Louis Armstrong & Velma Middleton...but both are superb!!

  • She sound AWESOME, but the guy leaves something to be desired. Will Farrel should have done this song with her for the soundtrack.

  • I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought the pair sounded strange together. This song started playing on an online playlist I was streaming, and I thought this was an amateur mixing of one singer over another. It's not very good.

  • it's spelt like watching* ...thanks.

  • If my hound dog talked... this is what he would sound like...

  • Leon would be good if he was with someone else. His voice just doesn't mix with Zooey's.

  • The guy sounds like a creepy fat guy

  • @onlyashadow1121 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that made me laugh so hard,

    maybe its santa ? lulz

  • lol

  • ... it sounds like she is singing with Santa Claus :)

  • It's like a clarinet singing with a trombone :)

  • His voice reminds me of fried chicken and honey.

  • How the heck did it make sense to have her sing it WITHOUT Will Ferrell?!

  • Leon Redborn goes HAM!

  • This is the creepy version of "Let it snow"

  • 240p we meet again......

  • love love love this! (:

  • this song is beautiful. whoever hates on leon redbone is cray cray

  • Their voices don't go well together. Zooey's is sweet and his is deep and overpowering.

  • @hayjo09 THAT is why they go so well together! Plus while is voice certainly is deep it is in no way overpowering.

  • Will Farrel does the male part BETTER... Zooey has a beautiful voice but Leon's makes it kinda SUCK!

  • elf already

  • She has an amazing voice.....this is my fave version of this classic!

  • her voice is amazing :)

  • Comment removed

  • is she singing with Mr. Narwhal?

  • I like the man's voice, I think it is fitting

  • Actually it's arguable. Whoever produced the song didn't exactly do the best job blending the voices. Leon Redbone's voice is way too dominant even though his tone and texture could have potentially mixed nicely against deschanel's. Unfortunate.

  • the guy sucks.

  • I preferred it when Will Farrel sang with her...

  • @Etthomas13sexhexy13 i knoooooooooooooow

  • 23 people and the two top commentors haven't hit puberty, yet.

  • 23 people and the two top commentors haven't hit puberty, yet.

  • Anthony Green and Mindy White cover this so much better.

  • this is my absolute favorite version of the song :) Zooeys voice is amaazing, and so is Leons even if it is a bit deep, they still go together good in my opinion <3

  • HEY people telling LEON to SHUT UP, it's PART OF THE SONG, dipshits.

  • Glee did it better. Just sayin'. Gay guys make everything better.

  • Both Zooey and Leon have great voices, they just don't go together that well.

  • ZOEY IS SOOOOOOOO SEXY WITH A SEXY VOICE

  • i like this version, with leon. =)

  • leon roedbone is amazing

  • Zoey sounds a bit like Peggy Lee.

  • Dude, why not just have Will Ferrell in it? D:

    I'm quite disappointed. :/

  • "Thanks for whatching"?

    You're whelcome.

  • this is the version i have been looking for.. love Redbone's voice.

  • @SingerGurL1321 I understand if people think they don't sound good together, even though they do, but people are acting like Leon can't sing at all; which is disrespectful to a great artist. The whole cat and mouse game, soft and deep, works for me.

  • Man, I can't understand all the hating on Leon. The mans is singing in a great deep soulful voice; that's how i imagine it being sung not with some messed up high pitched voice. She is supposed to sound innocent and he is supposed to sound convincing and devious. This is hands down the best version, because they compliment each other soft & innocent and deep & mysterious. 

  • @23TDJ Leon Redbone is a brilliant singer... Only thing is his voice and Zooey's sound mismatched, that's why you got haters... It may be how it should sound (I don't know.. I didn't know until you mentioned it..) but I guess what people are trying to say is that they dont mesh together... the voices I mean.. Whatever they say though, I find Leon's tone amazing... He's a beautiful singer :D

  • Leon makes this song classic. I love his voice. people who do not like his voice don't appreciate a classic jazz/Blues voice. This is the best version I have ever heard. They take it slow and time it very well. Love the electricity

  • @meleeECI Why is it that I can't give your comment more "thumbs up"s???

    Leon Redbone's voice give it that old-timey feel that Christmas songs should all have. I think the problem is that people's tastes change. You don't hear this kind of soulful voice anymore nowadays.

  • @meleeECI just because we dont like his voice with hers doesnt mean we dont appreciate his voice. it just doesnt mesh well with hers.

  • @meleeECI Yes - Will Farrel singing it with her is cute. But with Leon - it's classic. I love his version of the song....sounds like... Christmas! :)

  • @meleeECI It's not his voice that people dislike; it's the pairing of a classic voice like his and a contemporary voice like Zooey's. A version of this song with her would be better paired with a gentler, more contemporary voice, while Leon's version should include a female voice from his era.

  • i totally agree with u. her voice is absolutely gorgeous, his voice wrecks the song. she sounded better with will ferrell, lol

  • I liked the one with Will Ferrell better... wish it was longer...

  • I love it!

  • i loove it!

  • leon slipped zoey a mickey!

  • leon slipped zoey a mickey

  • i wanted to hear zooey sing but the guy just ruined it :(

  • EUGH THAT MAN'S VOICE.

    WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY EARS

  • this version is horrible

  • I lover her voice but that dude just isnt working

  • i have no idea why they decided not to have will ferrell sing the other part :S i like ferrell's voice better than this guy, it's just ridiculously deep doesn't blend well with zoey

  • Why does the guy sound like his voice has been muffled? Zooey did a great job, who the heck decided that the muffle guy had to sing too?

  • one of my absolute favs! Come visit my page and listen.

  • This is how it should sound. Slow, sultry and with a hint of teasing.

  • cette version fait peur quand on est habitué à celle de glee :D

  • Elf was the last of a long sad line of disturbing "funny" movies.

  • Dude's voice murders one of my favorite songs.

  • I think Leon Redbone is suffering a seizure CALL 911!

  • ONE WORD: GLEE

  • @rukaxmiku 2 words, is gay

  • @XX847 3 words, we need kurt

  • @rukaxmiku is this movie the song is about a man and woman who love each other and a classic boy meets girl story. In glee, its 2 highschool boys chasing each other around a study in their school uniforms.

  • @XX847 haha i still thing glee is cooler... the classic storys are getter boring... =3= haha the 2 highschool boys story is a nice twist! <3

  • @rukaxmiku If i ever have kids, i plan to tell them about how the prince rescues the PRINCESS and they sing together in the snow.

    Not how the princes rescues another prince. Thats just me though.

  • This is the best version of this song :)

  • I wish Will Ferrell would've sang this with her.

    Would be much better.

  • Sounds like girl + pedophile who won't let her outta the white van.

  • the dude kills the song.. WTF

  • yo, zooey deschanel and will ferrell would've been great :(

  • I wish i could get Leon Redbone's huge voice out of this song!

  • I have nothing against Leon Redbone, I'm sure his voice is very unique and all that but I really don't like it with Zooey's in this song. It's completely wrong for it. 

  • For those who don't know, Leon Redbone played the snowman in Elf (which was inspired by the Burl Ives snowman in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer classic).

  • are you kidding me? Leon Redbone completely ruined this song! .Zoe's voice is sooooo mellow, smooth and just angelical, and then comes this guy from the gates of hell to crap all over the song, Dude stop eating sandpaper!!!!

  • christmas rape song.

  • DUDE Leon Redbone sounds like he has a hooker stuck down his throat. YUCK

  • Merry Christmas everyone! Remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Have a wonderful and safe holiday season!

  • his voice is awesome

  • why so many people here hate leon redbone's singing? I'm simply asking I really don't know about this man and don't think his part is that bad.

  • Comment removed

  • @yanin021182 voice, yes amazing. but the fact that he HAS to re-synchopate every fucking syllable in the whole song is what makes this recording suck. he soulda just sang the damn song. I have the same complaint with christina aguilera.

  • @DexRok sorry dude, Leon Redbone's style of singing cannot be compared to anyone, he is one in a million.. Christina Aguilara? Really? You just name dropped a bitch who might have a good voice but she sounds like SO many other bitches out there. Leon is not even on the map, he's just out of this world and his way of singing this song was beautiful...but alas everyone is entitled to their own opinion and in this case I'm glad Jon Favreau loved him as much as I do and stuck him in his movie:)

  • I love this song.. and when I heard Zooey sing it in elf, I was like yay!! but this.. is horrible. she is a beautiful singer. people always make fun of it as a 'rape' song, lol I always found it old fashioned and romantic, the way things should be.. this though makes it kinda sound.. uh, rape-ish. lol Zooey needs to duet with either Buble, Groban, or the not so gay one who sung this in Glee. lol

  • Like the way these people sing. The best version!!!

  • I rape that replay button.

  • Remove the old guy.

  • the Dean Martin with Doris Day version is a million times better

  • @katg518 I agree, that one to me is thee one

  • I like this version the best of all!!!!

  • This is my favorite Christmas song :)

  • this doesnt sound right

  • here vioce is amazing but his vioce doesnt fit in here

  • Anybody who thinks Leon Redbone doesn't have one of the greatest baratones on earth, really do not know vocal music.

  • wow her voice is amazing <3 but the dude sounds like mr bean's grandad! :s

  • Hey deep voice dude...SHUT UP

  • Her voice.. <3

  • The voices don't match too well. I think it'd be a better match for Etta James and Leon Redding...

  • I was so excited to hear zoey deschanel sing this song... then i realized leon redbone decided to shit all over it.

  • @RockinARS Show some respect, Mr. Redbone has blessed us with his musical talent since the 70's. Nvmnd your right, Bob Dylan was wrong, Leon just shits on songs. Do you actually listen to artists and explore music or just hear whats on the radio when your in a car??

  • zooey deschanel is amazing in this...but the song is kinda ruined by leon redbone's deep voice

  • It's hard to take this song seriously when looking at a picture of Will Ferrell getting attacked by a raccoon.

  • GEEZUS

  • Love this version

    "Say what's in this drink?"

    Date Rape song xD

  • love her voice

  • ZOOOEEEEYYYY IS SOOOO GOOD.

    jjeeeez.

  • lol at 1 below

  • 14 people like the cold(:

  • Idiots who don't like Leon's voice: it's an interpretation, and Michael Buble is disgraceful. You're ruining Christmas, shut up.

  • I really did not expect the male voice, oh dear.

  • @Uyidcle lol me neither xD

  • i can sing like this really i can like the girl

  • Check out the AJ and the Flip Flops' version remade by A father and son called Daddy, It's Cold Outside. It is getting major radio play across North America.

  • @auraskateboarding no it isnt..

  • absouletly love love love this song!!

  • Dear Zooey,

    Please do everyone a huge favor.

    Ditch this guy and duet with Michael Buble.

    You will be loved tremendously and create the best christmas song EVER.

    (:

  • @pinkhairrox1 I know right?! This guy ruins this song, at least put Dean Martin in this mug!

  • @pinkhairrox1 copycat :)

  • Zooey is excellet, the male part is ifffy

  • @atomicjulia I love Leon Redbone. Lol His voice is so soothing haha.

  • "Hello, Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" XD Love this movie and Zooey Deschanels voice is beautiful :] <3

  • @charlietcullen my friends cousin got fired on his first day of work for answering the phone like that haha

  • :( where the FUCK is ferrell.

  • @beatboy3 riiiiiiiiiight!!!

  • ZOOEY DESCHANEL SHOULD DO A CHRISTMAS ALBUM!!!

  • Best female part I've ever heard for this song!

  • FilipinoAndyFU52 you are probably right. it just sounds really weird with the older man and the younger woman. haha

  • o wow! i luv Elf and the soundtrack!

  • This song has been covered to death and most of them are crap. This is on of the good ones. And Leons voice suits the song. His voice takes it back to the 1940's when this song was first recorded.

  • I think Leon Redbone's voice is great.

    I love rough and gruff voices. They are so sexy.

    And Zooey Deschanel's voice is brilliant in this rendition.

  • wtf is this hag doin in this song. (not to be mean, im sure hes not really creepy)

    when i first heard his voice i was kinda scared.

    he sounds kinda rapey....dont ya think. hahaha

  • @mistaluvaluva1 i think it wouldn't be as scary if zooey's voice didn't contrast so much with leon's. imagine just listening to a song with leon - you'd probably feel like you've been taken back to the 40's. but zooey's voice just contrasts sooo much with his.

  • @mistaluvaluva1 I love his voice. It's gruff and manly and wonderfully soothing.

  • @nyarfdude it is, i just wasnt expecting it with this song and with her young voice
