Merry Christmas, kittens & dawgs! I’m in a par-tay mood. What song makes you want to party to when the season is all festive like it is now? The first tune that comes to mind is Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree written by Johnny Marks and recorded by Brenda Lee. What came as a bit of shock to me is Miss Lee was only 13 years old when she made this song. She sounds so grown up delivering this fun sock hop tune. Here’s the original for your enjoyment and isn’t included in this BoTB installment.
Now for the rivals doing their best to win you over with Brenda Lee’s 1958 popular Christmas single. Kindly lend your ear to contender #1 Home Free!
Now, let’s jingle in contender #2…. Kim Wilde (feat.Nik Kershaw)!
Are you in a boogie mood? I am! Which version of Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree cover did you like best, Home Free or Kim Wilde? If you have time and want to share why your pick is the “best” of the two, then I’d love to hear about it.
The party isn’t over and there’s a whole lot more rockin’ around the Christmas tree to be done. I invite you to visit and cast your votes in these amazing Battle of the Battles that are in full swing (technically most BoTB will post tomorrow)!
