  • Can't wait to put in that pool. EDDY: " I can't swim Clark ! "  CLARK: " I know Eddy ". LOL CHRISTmas Vacation RULES !!!!

    Thank you SSassyCat <3

  • My name is justin bieber

  • I had to sing this at my school

  • I sang this song in 5th grade for a holiday show! ahh good times(:

  • but cheezy

  • ALE FAJOSKIE!!!

  • SHITTER'S FULL!!!

  • @ngw96 Nice! I think I'll just get myself a Meister Brau from the fridge!

  • @ngw96 rofl

  • Clark Grizwald nuff said

  • Who thinks of national lampoons christmas story when this is heard? Love it!

  • @Jessi251 haven't seen that movie. i can only think of US servicemen or any other person in a war theater who don't make it back home for Xmas, and probably never make it back at all. i also think about their family in mourning

  • @grezzbop you seem like a very optimistic person...

  • A Christmas staple!

  • Mele Kalikimaka -- zeby ludzie sie kochali a nie , napierdalali !!!!

  • I wanna watch a hot lady in red bathing suit by a pool :D love Christmas Vacation

  • @STONECOLD1987 This is why I love having unrated versions of the DVD. Long story short, there is plenty shown in the uncut version. :D

  • @KosaiAvonej Wow really? I never knew they made an Uncut Version of Christmas Vacation? That brunette was smokin :D

  • why do i have to sing this shit?

  • @pooper198 Because its a classic, THAT'S THE FUCK WHY. Bing Crosby, and many other singers such as the Ink Spots, and Frank Sinatra, etc..., are awsome, but little shits like you don't understand, so why even fucking comment, if you don't like it?

  • @ngw96 Wow.... angry much?

  • omg i have to sing this at my school

  • this song is awesome we used it for NMS commercial for a christmas in Hawaii dance!!!!!!!

  • What year did Bing Crosby produce this song in by the way? I'm curious.

  • ok....randomneess. I just tried to like a comment and I got signed into the account that I forgot the password of......rofltrain

  • Long live Russ Columbo. Bing's Idol

  • è notevolmente migliore della versione di mina

  • I miss the forties and I wasn't born until the 90s......this is messed up!

  • Bing Crosby is the BEST!

  • This is the only christmas song I find tolerable, and I've made it my point to play it every christmas, starting last year.

  • apparently, my grandfather was constantly mistaken for Bing Crosby back in the day. I noticed the similarity only 15 years after my grandfather passed and I heard Bing do this song for the first time. great song, even to a Jewish kid who grew up celebrating both Christmas and Hannukah

  • Bellissima!!!

  • the kid beater himself....

  • @ivegotalongdong Be a thinker, and not a STINKER, Bing was just a man, not perfect,, and what person that ever lived never did wrong things in there life? And you,, just pray that you don't do "HUMAN" mistakes, or,, don't let anyone know what you've already done!!! Think about it! Don't STINK about it!

  • Though we have a number of new great artists, they cannot top singers like Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. The two are among those symbolizing the golden ages of jazz. I really miss them despite the fact that the youngest sister of the Andrews Sisters is still alive. I love this song as it is quite beautiful and the last words of each line rhyme with one another.

  • this was actually writtten by R. Alex Anderson, performed by Bing Crosby

  • National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation brought me here.

  • Brings back great memories of Christmas in the '70s.

  • I love this song..... It makes me think about being on an island in the caribbean..

  • The people that hit dislike like to listen to miley cyrus and justin bieber's pathetic excuses for music!

  • @GirlsAgainstTwilight youre correct! these young people today, if they even had a clue about the entertainers like Bing, well they dont. im 38 and i have a black lab whom is named Bing after Bing Crosby. i dont watch much of the newer tv shows but the new Hawaii 5-0 was just coming on and they were playing this song so i thought i would find it and listen. i just love the classic entertainers like Jack Benny and Phil Harris is a funny son of a gun too.

  • i listen to this song year- round, because its JUST that kick-butt. (im 16 btw if anyone cares)

  • @112ALONE a16 year old with very good and mature taste i might add ad. thats coming from a 38 yr old fart.

  • @samking73

    gotta love Bing :)

  • this song is wondreful

  • TALIANJRZYGUYNNJ im a hawaiian boi and this song is good im 24 but when i was living in hawaii this song was the best song if you listen with your ears and stop bobbing your heads to something thats garbage you would understand it better

  • The Worlds Most Amazing Voice!

  • I can see this song in a Fallout game. Maybe some sort of Christmas expansion :P

  • @Collzer23 aaahhhh omg omg omg that would be so sickkkkk

    HEY LETS TELL BETHESDA TO MAKE ONE FOR FALLOUT NEW VEGAS :D

  • first time I heard this song was in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation :)

  • 9 dude are shitters!

  • I love Bing Crosby's voice

  • Mele Kalikimaka from Oceanside, California

  • Bing Crosby Rocks

    

  • Mele Kalikimaka

  • Merry Christmas from Santa Cruz !!

  • Eight people have never been to Hawaii on Christmas. Aloha and mele kalikimaka.

  • love you, bing.

  • Sang this as a kid when I lived in Hawaii in the late '50s. Always a pleasant song. Brings back a lot of memories of Hawaii before the '60s tourist onslaught and construction frenzy changed the islands forever.

  • HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOURS EVERYBODY! LETS KEEP THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT GOING! CHEERS FROM CANADA!

  • Mele Kalikimaka from Hawaii!! :)

  • I love the pair of The Andrew Sisters with Bing.

  • i performed this song in my school winter program. we had hula dancers! it was fun.

  • i used to sing/listen to this every day when i was little!! :D

  • For some reason I want to dream about having a pool in my backyard.. lol

  • Song is good, just having one picture makes it suck.

  • Bing got it down pat. He was the right voice for the job. Also kudos to the Andrew Sisters. All I got to say to fellow Hawaiians is Mela Kalikimaka. I have to credit a friend of mine who did a karaoke version of that song that got me hooked.

  • Wonderful to hear Bing with the Andrews sisters singing Mele Kalikimaka… evokes another more hospitable time in this world! Thanks for this blessing!

  • I LOVE THIS.. REMINDS OF THE 5O'S

  • This was played on "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" during the scene when Clark "sees" the swimming pool out the kitchen window, especially with the sexy woman, and then Cousin Eddie.

    That's the Andrews Sisters singing backup vocals.

  • 6 people are commie bastards

  • My grandfather looked almost identical to Bing Crosby and was often mistaken for him - even though my grandfather was from Denmark!

  • i'm 12 years old, and i'm the only person at my middle school that likes christmas songs. its just beautiful music!

  • lol i had to sing this song in a chorus for school

  • Since people have posted a variety of Mele Kalkimakas from locations all over the world for this song - it's about time for ME to say:

    Mele Kalikimaka from Hawaii.

    And thank you R. Alex Anderson for writing this wonderful tune for Bing and the Andrews Sisters to perform for us.

  • oh hell yes

  • "Uncle Clark, are you Santa Clause?"

  • Hi all American friends, .... For this Christmas iN iTALY there is a new version of this song. The Italian singer Mina has reprised this song with a new rhytm.....Mina is great. Listen her here on you tube.: Mele Kalikimaka Mina....ciao!

  • A very nani video! Mahalo for uploading!

  • Why does nobody ever give credit to the Andrews Sisters?

  • @the1musiclad

    Are they who are singing along with Bing Crosby? If so, I agree that the uploader should add their name in the video title and/or description.

  • between :28 and :39 is probably the worst phrasing i've ever heard in my life. One could even say it is incorrect. I think Bing may have been in Hawaii when he sang that just guessing where the rest of his band is. I mean some singers throw their phrasing up in the air but that was just plain bad. I do like Bing though

  • @drakeplayer1234 Isn't this the famous art of "laid back" singing that crooners perfected? (Far) behind the beat, free in phrasing ...?

  • @Dust851 idk but i've heard phrasing thats behind the beat and its just fine. this is just incorrect. Several dozn fantastic singers over the past 100 years have no sense of time, and during that line Bing joined them. I'm just gonna shut up and let Bing do his thing, I dont even care i cant stand this song. but that line is absolutely terrible

  • Comment removed

  • @drakeplayer1234 i am totally with you!

  • @drakeplayer1234 he did mean to do it but i admit it was a bit over the top

  • I love this song.. His voice is amazing and the chorus girls it sounds so vintage :D I love it.. Mele Kalikimaka :]

  • great song

  • TO THE PEOPLE WHO HIT DISLIKE?.WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME?..HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS SONG IT WAS IN CHRISTMAS VACATION!! THE ONES WHO HIT DISLIKE MUST BE TEENIE BOPPERS WHO LIKE ALL THE GARBAGE OF TODAY!!

  • @ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ - this kind of music (what we call real music) is too tame for most these days. i'm thankful my parents raised me with Dean Martin, Jerry Vale, Bing and many others.

  • @ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ

    Calm down, bro.

  • @ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ Chill on the caps, bro.

  • @randoman1990 IM CHILLED...DUDE....I LIKE MY CAPS LIKE I LIKE WOMEN BIGGG....LMAO HAPPY HOLIDAYSSSS

  • @ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ True true I clicked like I absolutely love this song. Best chistmas song ever.

  • @ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ They though it was "DIS- I - LIKE!" lmao

  • we have sing this song in choir and it gets stuck in my head and i hum it in all my classes:)

  • omg! his voice gives me goose bumps!! ♥ bing!

  • My dad taught me much about music, if it wasn't for him I would never have listened to Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, Ronnie Milsap, and Kenny Rogers. Different genres of music but all good, and now thats my outlook on music. This will be the first Christmas without him and he will be missed.

  • @BMcD16 So sorry about your Dad. He taught you well, though, and you've got some good memories.

  • @BMcD16 - sorry to hear about your Dad. I hope you can deal well. May God bless you. I lost my Mom and Dad is soon behind. Mine too taught me in music as yours. I grew up listening to the old classics and love them. Hope you can find some happiness this Christmas.

  • This is such a fun Christmas song, and this is from a grinch who hates any non-traditional carol. I love this one to pieces.

    A Very, Merry Christmas to all of you and everybody close to you. Peace on Earth. God love you, all.

  • 5 people are MAJOR grinches.

  • @utube4thepeople THE 5 MUST BE IN LOVE WITH JUSTIN BEIBER THE TROLL LOL

  • @ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ Lol for sure!! People don't know what good music is these days. I swear I wanna throw my radio out the window every time his songs come on. It's a bit early, but Merry Christmas to you! Cheers!

  • One of the most nostalgic songs of the world. Really wants to make you go back in time. Great quality and thank you for uploading.

  • This song is awesome!

    <3 Christmas Vacation is a wicked movie, this song remnds me of that movie!

  • i sang this in 3rd grade for the xmas show case

  • My great grandfather wrote this song!

    This is a fantastic version of the song. Probably the best I've heard. Bravo to Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters!

  • einfach super,ich liebe diesen song.

    DANKE 5*****

  • Prima!

  • This brings back so many memories!! There's no one like Bing and the Andrews sisters. Mele Kalikimaka y'all!!

  • @1crazyjeni Well said Jeni.. No time like the present to put aside all the worlds differences.. Mele Kalikimaka to you too

  • Keep your arguements elsewhere. This song is Bing Crosby singing about Christmas in Hawaii. It has nothing to do with rap. So why are you arguing about that genre at this video. Bing had all sorts of artists on his show. Ever seen the video with him and David Bowie signing the Littlle Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth? So peace on earth and Mele Kalikimaka.

  • Don't worry about it, Auntangie - it's youtube, people always argue about dumb shit. If it's not about communism and capitalism it's theism VS atheism and this genre vs that genre all over the place.

  • @auntangie55 because that person isn't too smart I guess. No worries, loved this song even when I was a kid never dreaming one day that we would spend 4 Christmas' in Hawaii and 4 fabulous years there and that we'd leave with a little Makana to always remind us of beautiful Hawaii. When we retire for good we'll be back there in Ewa Beach.

  • You all made some excellent points and stuck to your side of the arguement pretty consistently, this has by far been one of my favorite post, i love the input and opinions of everyone who chose to voice theirs, you all saw somthing you didn't agree with an gave your best point of reason, i couldn't have asked for anything more wheather you agree or dissagree, thank you all..and no offence was intended by anything i posted, your opinions are all equaly important and valued

  • fair enough. no offence intended on my part either.

  • what a great song by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters.. I really dunno when the actual album with this song was released. I believe it was like late 50's or early 60's and I remember the record with this song on it and the  label was MCA and it was the Black label with a Rainbow ..I think the MCA release I own with this was a reissued version of an older release or it was the original.

  • Try 1949.

  • sry 1950

  • Thanks... and the release I own with that  song was from a reissued version of an actual album that was previously released... i assume.

  • I found out the Album with Bing
