Jon Bon Jovi - R2-D2, We Wish You A Merry Christmas

[AJMillsmiths]

18 year old for 18 year old (or almost), this sounds better than Bieber mouhaha!

[meekrob]

Far from the worst song he's ever sung.

[Imeldaishot2010]

typical of the whole star wars franchise, absolute shit

[ilkethemlittle]

LOL< john never swept a floor oin his life. It makes a great story tho

[hotwiththom]

@ilkethemlittle his uncle or cousin or somthing owned a studio and employed him

[TekkenIkasher]

This is not good! His vote isn't listen like his vote in his songs!

[misternipples100]

I MUST HAVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rsbob21]

My kids FAVORITE Christmas album growing up ... they are 34 and 35 now! Now with a baby, we HAD to find these songs...every year I hear about them wanting the musi!

[n136h]

Bon Jovi rims C3PO

[ShoMePussy]

i love how no one even mentions the band "meco" who actually wrote this song.

[unwashedmusician0]

@ShoMePussy Its because this album sucks balls!



[hotwiththom]

@ShoMePussy cuz the lyrics are awful.... great concept shitty writers

[onin1974]

The album is notable for featuring the first professional recording of Jon Bon Jovi (credited as "John Bongiovi", his birth name), who sang lead vocals on the song "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas." His cousin Tony Bongiovi co-produced the album and ran the recording studio at which it was recorded, where Jon was working sweeping floors at the time.

[laurenoneil]

jon bongiovi

[plunderpunk2]

Edgy stuff.

[atox88]

Wanted dead or alive is still better :DDD

[nsnale1]

Ahahhahahahahahahahahah :'D

OMG! :''D

[skrag2112]

I recently sold my Star Wars Christmas Album to a Vintage Stock store. When I told the guy behind the counter that this album was Jon Bon Jovi's first professional recording, his jaw hit the floor.

[UliJones]

Is a Judeo-Christian festival compatible with Jedi dogma though?

[natebham]

werid al???...a bit?

[Ilovetriops]

jon's best song ever.

LOLOL.

[bonjovi03021962]

haha woah i'm totally speechless...my mouth like hit the floor when i heard this...(:

[Koukouloforos21]

It was in 1982! Amazing! Greetings from Greece!

[nunuronron333]

LoL

His voise was so funny

...

I don't know what to say

LoL

But he still rocks

Is it rock?

[darkesdraganoid12345]

lol

[OldSchoolRasslin]

This is stupid. The Star Wars films were set a long, long time before the birth of Christ. How on earth can R2D2 be celebrating Christmas?

[boggedmaffus]

@OldSchoolRasslin To TOTALLY overanalyse like a geek... It's never specified HOW long ago it is. It might have been as recently as only several hundred years ago in Earth time, after the birth of Christ. So given that they have faster than light travel, they could have travelled millions of light years to Earth at some point after RoTJ, converted to Christianity, and then travelled back, utilising relativistic time dilation effects to prevent aging the distance :p

[AJMillsmiths]

Un-f**ing-believable!!! Sooooo cuuuuuuteeee!!! xD Who would have guessed what he would become... ;)

[tenacious1884]

Tony Bongiovi is a lucky dude!

[vinipetronetto]

Ele mandava bem desde criança , esse cara é fodão

[JamMessage]

The best Christmas song for all time!

[primac1996]

man....it's hard to believe how bon jovi started xD

[richardmckenzie123]

would respond if damm thing would play goes about 2 seconds then crashes please repost

[SuperDookieness6000]

my faith in jon bon jovi has been restored!

[heli0tr0pe]

I think it's the best thing he's ever done!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, what are you waiting for?

[ledinhajovigirl]

OMG!!! Jon sounds so so young!!!! He was 17 - 18 years after all!!! SO CUTE!

[janok2]

I sure hope Kenny Baker had credit for singing on this album.

[HalbrookTech]

@janok2 He is actually credited as I recall.

[Joseph1Krautheim]

shades of Keith Partridge-or that guy who played him.

Boba Fett couldn't be at this session because he was at the Haj.

[jm5150]

I have this album on vinyl, Jon Bongiovi is credited on the song if you look on the back.. thats his actual name. Best album ever! We bought it at Zayre's when I was 5. held onto it for 30 years

[Husky48Doctor46]

This is awesome:) jon is not taking this seriously which makes it awesome lol Keep on Rockin Jon !!!!

[analume]

what would jon say if he saw this video?

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

I did the math, and jon bon jovi was 18 years old. other information was on WIKIPEDIA

[EcakCake2]

That was the biggest cheese factory I've ever toured.

[Wildchild880]

R2 the quaser convertor isnt finished yet.

[YellowYoshi398]

C-3PO must have some crazy connections if he can get R2 a live performance by Bon Jovi for a Christmas present.

[jonbonjovi1962]

.47 - 1.08 & 1.28 - 1.50 & listen carefully you can here him he sounds so young but still :D

[JoviAero]

This just makes me so happy!!!

[rucodeallidel2009]

su primera canción...R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas

his first song ... R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas



[cornutsful]

That's hilarious haha

[NivekArerreh]

I just heard this on LAST.FM this isn't Jon Bon Jovi it's by a guy named 'Meco' but this is awesome!

[Thimburd]

@NivekArerreh --> Wikipedia: When he was seventeen, Bon Jovi was working sweeping floors at his cousin Tony Bongiovi's recording studio. In 1980, when Meco was there recording Christmas in the Stars: The Star Wars Christmas Album, Bongiovi recommended Bon Jovi for the song "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas." This became his first professional recording (credited as John Bongiovi). He left in 1983 when he got a record deal.

[pureevilfnord]

@NivekArerreh Yeah, Meco, he lives right next door to Jethro Tull and Molly Hatchet.

[bluemilk2nd]

@NivekArerreh Nah love Meco made the disco star wars song!! This is deffo Jon..... You can recognise his voice!! And he admitted to it in interviews..... !!

[zazoo8]

[samborcatko]

[Nizar239]

Wow...if i didn't KNOW this was Jon, i would have never thought it was....his voice sounds so different....it's hilarious, i must say!

[Nizar239]

Wow....if i didn't know this was Jon, i would have no idea that this was him...it sounds NOTHING like him at all! I must say, this is hilarious :P

[tobyfrank]

i didnt believe it also... but then i saw the interview where he supports the fact... im not only speechless, but i feel in a nerd convention.... ew!

[TheOysterPrincess]

I listened to this constantly as a kid and I still get the words to this song stuck in my head. I had no idea it was Bon Jovi! That's hilarious.

[gina8594inga]

[TogrutaJedi]

Yes, it is!!!!

[FerrariS007]

something like a Boney M voice :)

[eqrangergoddess]

[tostrye]

Is R2D2 a jewish name?

[NERFHERDER76]

@tostrye you for real r2d2 is the droid from star wars

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@tostrye acclally it derives from when george was working on "American Grafitti" and he was getting tapes and rolls of film, "Reel 2 Dialogue 2"

that is where it comes from

[ssssssssssssssssss50]

@tostrye nah,it's a droidish name

[DenverBlake]

Star Wars didn't even come out until 1977. This was 1980. John was 17 according to Wikipedia.

[98Eric98]

I love the fact that bon jovi did this song... so random

[TogrutaJedi]

It makes more sense if you know that his dad was the producer of this Star Wars Christmas album.

[98Eric98]

Haha.. that's awesome!

[KirbyGuy194728]

ROFL i wud pay to see the look on jons face if u played this to him now xD

[stephjovi]

That is sadly true.

[JedigirlXD]

Scary... Poor Star Wars and wow I can't believe thats Bon Jovi.

[Unaundlua]

[wagnerpaivafernandes]

fucking amazing, jbj first gig as a singer!!!

[WhiteIguana]

My husband bought this lp back in 1980. He totally forgot all about it until I came upon this ditty. Now he's going to go and find the lp. Thanks for sharing this with us. It's definately interesting. (smiling)

[syrupneko]

fine. I'll order it on vinyl for next xmas...

[bonjolie1971]

This is AWESOME!!!!!

[efyall]

omg, this is jon!?!...lol...

[SweetEmotion987]

"We'll go by the fire and warm your little wires"

OH MY GOD! I can't believe this is the same guy me and thousands of others were singing along with last summer!

How embarassed is JBJ that this is on youtube? lol

[TamishTheBJfan]

embarassed?

why would he give a damn?

[SweetEmotion987]

I'm just saying...its funny. That's all.

Like the other 33 people who have commented did.

[TamishTheBJfan]

I'm not saing it's not funny&cute, but

I just don't think he cares (I know I wouldn't if I was him)

[YourManNugget]

Probably not too embarassed considering ive seen this on countless tv shows over the last 10 years. Everyone sknow about it

[dida1209]

oh god! how did you find it?! Thanks anyway lol

[jillbonjovi88]

LOL...I've never heard this ....sooo cute !!! :) Bet his kids get a kick out of this!!

[hoopskay86]

aww he sounds so cute!

little jon has a sexy voice

[bedofroses86]

I really like this! He sounds so young. I think it's cute

[305young]

omg, lol

[m4rc3lk]

haha, he mentioned it on 60 minutes, 187 dollars het got for it, he sounds a little like John Travolta. hope they play this on the next tour, lmao. jon, u rule!

[bonjovi4life101]

OMG THIS MAKES ME LAUGH

[number1BonJovi]

I really had to laugh when I heard this the first time;)

I know all songs from Bon Jovi, but thats sooooo cute!

[Dabs71]

He he he - Jon will be stoked this is on youtube...not!

I think he sounds cute...

...but he sounds much better now!!!!

[BurntToast1291989]

Oh my God.

Can't believe this is JON BON JOVI... :)

[randomaliengirl]

this is so weird

[robialex305]

Oh.Dear.God.

He sounds gay, but that doesn't make me love him any less!

I want him to sound like that now, it's so cute! :)

[burner12]

He's so young he kinda sounds like Weird Al.

[iheartjovi4eva]

wow--I love Bon Jovi but I can't help but laugh. He sounds so young, but he was just a teenager too, so of course he sounded different. Plus his voice wasn't as damaged by age, smoking, and the New Jersey tour...his vocal chords must have taken quite a beating from all those songs with the high notes (ex: Runaway)....its okay though, I love Jon's voice now anyway...

but this will definately be a song I'll listen to during Christmastime...or if I need a good laugh...

[AxlsGroupie]

Lol so funny! I can hardly believe it's him!

[YellowYoshi398]

We'll go in by the fire, and warm your little wires. :3

[charlesHBKWWE]

so Jon was stiil a kid this time rite or teenager?

[gremlins3]

well its better than the lost highway album

[Brklyn94]

This is actually Jon singing? Oh My, it doesn't sound like him AT ALL.

He was 17 or 18 here, I suppose his voice sounded different...but wow XD

[aviya1]

he soo cute...

[yakk13]

I bet he totally hates that this is still around. How embarrassing.

[laurenhooba]

I didn't know he recorded this song.

[PierceN18]

He was 17...

Anyway looool

[rockandroll50607080]

how old was he????????????

[ADAMJOVI82]

wow i m dont know to say jon still rock

[blackrockingpirate]

I can`t believe it!!!! his first recorded song,ok it`s not his,but still...!!! funny voice
