  • brings a tear to my eyes seriously i feel the touch of god with this song

  • this is awesome

  • 16 idiots dislike this

  • l luv it

  • what year was this out

  • bing crosby's voice is smooth like velvet

  • Beautiful.....

  • Such a great song and yet there is so much hostility. Regardless of one's beliefs, Christmas is the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth and although this song was written as a plea for peace, the lyric's imply the story of Jesus' birth.

  • I love the memories of boyhood and this song. I see Midnight Mass and smell Christmas tree.

  • Lol, kind of funny that people are actually debating and trolling on a Bing Crosby classic CHRISTmas song.

  • Merry Christmas - AD 2011

  • @ShinoAburome37 that girl should not butt into your business you are right. You should believe what you want. But you still shouldn't insult another religion no matter what you believe

  • I think this is a marvellous version of this song !

  • its Christmas time once again :)

  • Atheistic Unitarian Universalist here.

    Despite the Christian imagery in this song, it was originally written as a plea for peace in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis. That said, who cares if it's about God or not? Christmas songs, secular or not, make me happy.

    Stop letting your religion interfere with your Christmas spirit.

  • @RVProductions

    I think that the good things about the Christian faith make the Christmas spirit such a joyful and happy experience, but that's just my opinion :) Nevertheless, it's wonderful how Christmas always knows to provide us a time to look forward to, for atheists and Christians.

    What's your favorite christmas song?

  • @oleander1705 Different things make everyone happy. Personally, I'm happy to just have that "Christmas feeling" of solidarity and spending time with people I love. But yes, I do agree with you, it's a wonderful time of year.

    This is probably my favorite Christmas song, but I'm pretty partial to Baby, It's Cold Outside as well. How about you?

  • @MrGeusey 13 People dont know what I know

  • @MrGeusey Lol

  • ITT mad people that don't care what the song is about.

  • the holiday that is most important is Easter for it is the resurrection of Jesus, oh and sir proof that god is real is ALL AROUND YOU.

  • The back up singers are his family

  • Love it just love it i am in the Christmas mood when it november!!!!!!!!!

  • Amazing song! Does anyone know who the backup singers were?

  • So Epic! Omg.

  • This song is amazing <3

  • Eyyyoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­u ♪♫

  • BING is the man!!! <3 him so much!!!!

  • The girls are singing this for the Christmas Pagent at my school.I love singing this.

  • No one sings this better........

  • 122 days till christmas!!!

  • R.I.P Bing Crosby. May his music immortalize him in all our hearts.

  • It isn't even Christmas yet, and I am still listening to this song!!! Still sounds great.

  • 12 people loved the song so much they accidentally hit thumbs down

  • I love Christmas music, this is my fav song ! It's so sad Xmas is over :/ I love the sprit and festivity (:

  • A timeless classic.

  • Beautiful song.

  • 12 people didnt see the star where jesus was born

  • I feel at peace listening to this

  • you should respect this video this is about Jesus gave up HIS LIFE for us we should appreciative life and little more PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  • @flag65 This song isn't about him giving up his life it's about him being more.

  • Even as an atheist, I have to admit, Christian Religious songs are amazing and beautiful, when it's not Miley Cirus or Carey Underwood singing them.

  • @shatzyu are you insulting carrie underwood?

  • @SaltwaterAir1 The comment he made was 4 months ago, and I think nearly everyone can agree that hymnals should be stuck to more classical composure. To me, hearing country-pop stars trying to value some of these great songs in ways that just aren't typical. Does this mean they are wrong? Absolutely not. This just simply means that majority of people do not have the taste for it, why do you thing many singers rarely come out with more than one festive soundtrack?

  • @shatzyu You're right there. I am also an atheist, and to me, Christian Religious Christmas songs are amazing by the right singer. I think Christmas has NOTHING to do with Christ. It has to do with families being together and being happy, That's Christmas to me, not the idiotic dogma that is Christianity.

  • @ShinoAburame37 Soooo...you took a holiday (main purpose is to celebrate Jesus' birth), then...switched it all around accustomed to what you want it to be.... It doesn't work that way. And if it's about celebrating with family, do it everyday of the year. Don't choose one day. And out of all days, a RELIGIOUS holiday.

  • @humannaturedj OK let me end this discussion, since you're obviously christian. 1. As an atheist, I have no belief in the notion that Jesus was the son of a fairy king in the sky. Fantastical theories need fantastical proof, and There is NO physical proof of god. 2. Who are YOU to tell ME what Christmas is supposed to mean to ME and MY family? Bit egotistical of you I think.

  • @ShinoAburame37 Yes, I am a Christian. I am not trying to have a religious debate or try to convert you because that would be impossible. That is not my mission. But it honestly makes no logical sense to use a RELIGIOUS holiday to celebrate family. That's like me celebrating "family" on Ramadan. I love my family as well and it's nice to see that you appreciate yours so much. But what you said makes not an ounce of sense.

  • @humannaturedj I also think you missed half of my fucking argument, I'M AN ATHEIST!! I don't "Believe" in god. There's absolutely NO fucking proof, and what's with the attitude that you need to believe in this bullshit to be a good person? FUCK THAT! I know that science WORKS, So I will continue to use THAT as a "Belief" if you will, even though I don't NEED to believe in it at ALL, as its assertions can be PROVEN to me.

  • @ShinoAburame37 And I think you're clearly illiterate because I previously stated that I am not here to convert you into a Christian or any type of religious person. (what is common sense is my initial argument, go back to refresh your tired memory). I don't care what you believe in. And I'm not gonna force my beliefs on you because neither one of us truly know. I never said you weren't a good person either, so stop trying to twist words to make yourself look correct. Try again.

  • @humannaturedj ahem, I state AGAIN. I'm an ATHEIST! therefore, The religious notions BEHIND christmas, are something I don't believe in. Sorry that I didn't make that clear earlier, that was obviously my own fucking fault, But I read what you said, I obviously didn't make it clear enough to you, which, again, was my own fault. Also, When I said "What's with the attitude that you need to believe in this bullshit to be a good person?" Did I mean to say that you thought me

  • @ShinoAburame37 to be a bad person. I meant that as an evaluation of MANY a christian that I've talked to that made that assertion, Which I also shouldn't have done in this argument, as that asserts that you are like every christian, which you aren't. In conclusion, Don't tell me how to celebrate, I don't believe in god or any of the dogma associated with him, including christmas, AND I obviously need to work on my debate skills a little, as I come off disjointed and confused.

  • @humannaturedj Also, How DARE you try to tell me how to celebrate my love for my family. I sir, do NOT appreciate that, as it's MY FAMILY to celebrate with, not yours. If you wish to celebrate Christmas the way you THINK it was intended, go ahead and do so. But NEVER try to tell someone else how to do so, its high and mighty, egotistical, ignorant, and just plain WRONG!

  • @ShinoAburame37 Oh, and I'm not a sir. I'm a female.

  • @humannaturedj That doesn't make your assertions any less ridiculous, MADAME

  • @ShinoAburame37 It's no assertion. It's called common sense. 

  • @humannaturedj Oh my god, seriously? It's Christmas. Leave the guy alone. Let him have this time of year to enjoy himself with his family.

    Pardon my coarse language, but you sound like a fucking scrooge.

  • @RVProductions I'm far from a scrooge, thanks.

  • A child shivers in the cold? so sad :( reminds me when i was in the cold snow by my self when i was 4 yrs old no sliver or gold thankful i was found now 23yrs old HAIL KING JESUS! MERRY CHRISTMAS! ALL AROUND THE WORLD! AND OTHER WORLDS!

  • How does he hear , see, believe these things. Was god's son and his beautiful voice that's how

  • His voice is hear earsmic

  • Merry Christmas!

  • Merry Christmas everyone!

  • @TenderTrap86 Thank you and Merry Christmas to you!

  • Bing Crosby's the Christmas carol king.

  • Merry Christmas. If you like the song "O Holy Night" check out my humble rendition at the channel RichardJamesSound

    Peace to all. 

  • Best version EVER!!!!!!!!

  • I'm going to miss listening to this when the Christmas season is over, which is in two days :(

  • @halishinda It's not over until the 31st.

  • @halishinda

    My beloved father, rest his soul, once stated that Christmas music is good any time of the year!!! :o)

  • He will bring us goodness and light.. <3

  • amazinqq.

  • I know it won't sound so intimate being over the internet, but I really want to wish everyone out there, everyone, an especially Merry Christmas. May all your New Year dreams come true. Remember that there really are such things as second chances and don't be afraid to hope for the future. God love you. :)

  • @TenderTrap86 it's one year later, but thanks for the good wishes. Best wishes for THIS Christmas and New Year...you chose a beautiful way to express your hopes. I wish EVERYBODY the best for the festive season this year, and good luck for 2012! (kiss kiss, if you are a girl, lol!)

  • @champagnestevie Actually, "hug, hug" I'm a 6 foot 2, 185 pound, 25 year old man who moves furniture and works in demolition and disaster clean-up... and I'm strait.. lmao

    Pray for me this Christmas season? I'm guilty of so many transgressions. And, I'm terrified of taking the next steps in my life. I believe I've accomplished a lot this past year, but I know I'm capable of so much more.

    Thank you for returning kindness.

    A very Merry Christmas to you and all those you love.

  • @TenderTrap86 Buddha love you, too.

  • thumbs up if u like chirstmas

  • Mr Crosby was very sensitive to the possibility he might be perceived as commercializing or profiting off Christmas music, especailly the more religious music. If you look at his original vinyl Christmas records you will find the more secular christmas songs (like frosty the snowman or rudolph) are on one side of the record and the more sacred songs llike O Come all ye faithful and Silent Night are on teh other side...

  • @TheHachmom Interesting! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

  • Awesome song :)

  • love this song... Marry Christmas from Massachusetts...

    Thank god for such a beautiful song...

    any one that dislikes this song isn't true to christmas and the meaning of christmas

    Peace to man kind...

    Thank god for the birth of Jesus Christ

  • It sounds like Hank hill is singing this... XD

  • i can feel the Spirit of Christmas! i wish everyday is Christmas day! .. Happy Holidays everyone ! :)

  • MERRY CHRISTMAS from GETTYSBURG PA.

  • Great song! And oh so appropriate visuals. Whoever put this together is a genius!

  • Bing is untouchable on this song

  • wow just wow

  • This version is indeed the best. Some songs just shouldn't b remade...

  • My absolute favorite Christmas song, and my absolute favorite version. Everything is perfect in this - Bing's vocals, the instrumentation, the back-up vocals, and the lovely dynamic build-up to the final verse.

  • why would someone dislike this song????

  • BEST christmas song by the BEST christmas song singer!!!

  • Sheperd Boy: holy cow, a talking lamb!

  • nobody....NOBODY will ever do it like Bing.....sensational.

  • This is far and away the best version of this song.....

  • ^_^

  • Merry Christmas from Pennsylvania! And god bless you Jesus!

  • I love this song, I remembered when I was a kid dressed as a Shepard and my classmates had to sing this song.

  • When it comes to the part about the baby Jesus shivering & they're like let us bring him silver & gold I'm always thinking 'yeah coz that'll totally help with his shivering.'

  • I've heard this song every Christmas season since before I can remember. And only now have I gotten the idea to look it up on Youtube. Great song, one of my favorites. 

  • @ProphetoftheMachines haha me too

  • how can people dislike this..? :(

  • @waWeeWaWoo53 well the song does have some negative points. A sheep talking to the shepherd boy about some voice some the trees and the boy understands it, the boy must have been on drugs or something. Also the boy, tells the king that baby Jesus is born and is cold and tell him not to bring him a blanket, but sliver and gold. But anyways, even though the song uses useless personification, it still is a perfect Christmas song. I love it and many people do :-) Merry Christmas and God bless.

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

  • i love this song

  • Great quality - thanks!!

  • I love this song too! It's so smooth and soothing.

  • oh my God!

  • Yes...bring him silver and gold!!! Not Federal Reserve notes!

  • I Just Love This Song. (;

  • Thank you for this vid. God Bless You and Merry Christmas.

  • love how well the pictures go with the song

  • Merry Christmas from Missouri!

  • @rskopec7 A very Merry Christmas to you and everybody close to you, from CT! :)

  • I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH BECAUSE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT JESUS I CAN TELL BECAUSE JESUS BROUGHT US GOODNESS AND LIFE HE BROUGHT US THAT FOR TO FORGIVE OUR SINS

  • I wish they would play this around the holidays more often(or ever) during the holidays. Anyone else listen to KOST 103.5?

  • This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. So, who's ready of Christmas?

  • Merry Christmas with love from "AMERICA" Peace be with you all

  • its sad that no one ever sings the last verse, do they know why the song was even written? did the cuban missile crisis never happen if we don't pray for peace?

  • I wish they played this version more on the radio, rather than the shortened versions. Great video man!

  • "said the little lamb to the shepard boy" HOW DOES HE TALK?! am i missing something?

  • @sexychicoo0 who cares

  • @sexychicoo0 I never thought about that before. How DOES a lamb talk? Hmm....

  • @sexychicoo0 apparently

  • My parents had this on a vinyl lp when I was a child and it just warmed my heart. Thanks for posting it.

  • TIM HAWKINS

  • Love this song. Love this version of this song. Want it to be Christmastime!

  • Bing

  • I really love this song!!!!!!!!1

  • "said the little lamb to he shepard boy"... I think the shepard boy was in the field a little too long. and " a child a child shivers in the cold, let us bring him some silver and gold"........ How 'bout a blanket? Got this off a Tim Hawkins video if you laughed you should check him out.

  • @jimmy12201 I've been pondering that same point about the blanket thing for a long time. LOL. if it had been a female bringing gifts, she'd have brought him a blanket!

  • thanks for uploading this song brings back memories for me, of being in 8th grade chorus and singing this at one of our Christmas shows. again thanks so much for uploading

  • love it

  • Mi dad used ta always sing dis song ta me nd mi sisters

  • Beautiful song by Bing Crosby who has the best version; Robert Goulet also did a good job with this one on one of his Xmas albums.. Strange footnote: BC recorded the song on the same day that JFK was assassinated in Dallas, TX.

    The song was written around the time of the Cubasn Missile Crisis in 1962 as a plea for peace.

  • pray for peace people everywhere

  • Thank God. I'm sick of these little poppy singers' versions of this song and others. Mr. Crosby is a Godsend.

  • @EmmerzIero

    you said it!

    it good to hear the song without crappy pop singers adding unnecessary pizazz like "OOAaaOOhhOOOaaaHH!"

  • @partisan49 i don't like crappy music but i love the whoas and yeahs and ohs...except...i refuse to say his name on this video

  • @EmmerzIero original's always better :)

  • @EmmerzIero I can't decide between his and Carrie Underwood's. I love both of them

  • GREMLINS =]

  • Recorded on 11/22/1963.

  • @gakski really? that's interesting, it was recorded the same day that JFK was assassinated....pray for peace people everywhere....love this song and RIP JFK

  • choir song !

  • This is by far the best version thank you Mr Crosby!

  • a beautiful christmas song.. it gives us hope..

  • Comment removed

  • Wonderful Song..who's compose this?..^^, Merry Christmas 2 aLL...And Advance happy New Year!

  • Wonderful!

  • @GeniusFusion...LOL...No one is forcing you to listen to this song, your on this page under your own merit.

  • Well, just go ahead and commit suicide. 'Cause you're STUPID. Listening to a song you don't like and writing long comments about it.

  • Comment removed

  • Warmest greetings.

  • happy

  • this reminds me of the movie Gremlins as well

  • the ultimate version...god bless us EVERYONE

  • I love this song, but every time that I hear it I think of when the shepherd boy goes to the king all excitedly and asks him, "Do you know what I know?" The king asks him, intrigued, "Where have you heard this?" The shepherd boy responds..."My lamb told me!" Woe to that king who acts on information from a talking lamb!

  • Oh stop being such a scrooge, it is an awesome song

  • @GeniusFusion

    You feel like dying?! For God's sakes, what's wrong with you?

  • @GeniusFusion How can it make you feel like dying? It's one of the best Christmas songs I've ever heard...Is it the song itself that you don't like or is it just this version?

  • This brings back memories. GOD bless everyone.

  • this reminds me of the movie Gremlins XD lol

  • If a lamb turned to me and said "Do you hear what I hear" I would think I was on PCP.

  • Amen

  • Heavenly social networking!  :-)

  • Forgive me if this has been asked already (browser screws up when I go to view prev comments), but what is the name of the album this is on?
