Faltan 2 días para la Nochebuena y 3 días para la Navidad. Y continúo con este breve segmento musical navideño. Ayer estuve con 3 temas de los Beatles y hoy le toca el turno a tres destacados cantantes británicos, dos de ellos con el título de Sir.

Más adelante, fue incluida como bonus track en el relanzamiento remasterizado del album "CARIBOU" en 1995, aunque ya había sido lanzada en la época del album "GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD". También apareció en los albums de Elton, "Christmas Party", "Rare Masters", "To Be Continued" y "The Best Christmas Album In The World...Ever!".
Welcome to my Christmas song
I'd like to thank you for the year
So I'm sending you this Christmas card
To say it's nice to have you here
I'd like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the turntable
Oh step into Christmas with me
Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free
Take care in all you do next year
And keep smiling through the days
If we can help to entertain you
Oh we will find the ways
So merry Christmas one and all
There's no place I'd rather be
Than asking you if you'd oblige
Stepping into Christmas with me
So I'm sending you this Christmas card
To say it's nice to have you here
I'd like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the turntable
Oh step into Christmas with me
Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free
Take care in all you do next year
And keep smiling through the days
If we can help to entertain you
Oh we will find the ways
So merry Christmas one and all
There's no place I'd rather be
Than asking you if you'd oblige
Stepping into Christmas with me

The child is a king
the caroller sing
The old is past
there's a new beginning.
Dreams of Santa
dreams of snow
Fingers numb
faces aglow
it's -
Christmas time
mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme.
With logs on thefire
and gifts onthe tree
A time torejoice
in the good that wesee.
A time for living
a time for believing
A time for trusting
no deceiving.
Love and laughter and
joy ever after
Hours for the taking
just follow the master.
Christmas time
mistletoe and wine
...
Silent night
holy night -
It's a time for giving
a time for getting
A time forforgiving
and for forgetting.
Christmas is love
Christmas is peace
A time for hating
and fighting tocease.

Wham! dominó en los UK Singles Chart en 1984 y las noticias que ellos planeaban un single navideño significó que la batalla por el Nº 1 en Navidad en UK sería entre Wham! y Frankie Goes to Hollywood, otro dúo que destacó en 1984 en los charts británicos. Sin embargo, el proyecto Band Aid, iniciado por Bob Geldof, fue el single Nº 1 en Navidad y Wham! llegó al Nº 2 durante ese lapso y las regalías de las ventas de este single también fueron destinados a la misma causa benéfica, a combatir la hambruna en Etiopía. Pero el single llegó al Nº 1 en otros países y vendió por encima del millón de copias y se convirtió en el single más vendido en la historia de los charts en UK en no llegar al Nº 1. Un año después, se relanzó y llegó al Nº 6.
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
"Merry Christmas"
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away

ooooo
oh oh baby
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
oh oh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Esta ha sido la segunda entrega musical navideña de este blog. Espero que estos tres temas hayan sido de su más completo agrado y los invito, como siempre a leer este post, a disfrutar las canciones y dejar sus comentarios compartiendo sus vivencias alrededor de estas 3 hermosas canciones. Mañana continúo con Slade y Gary Glitter.

Hola Compadrito, me gusta mucho Last Christmas del dúo "Wham" y ya hay muchas versiones de esa canción, ademas me gusta Merry Xmas del grupo australiano "INXS" (infaltable en mi vida)y tambien la de "Queen" ... Thank God It's Christmas. Felices Fiestas Navideñas a todos los lectores ..... y el proximo año espero un blog de INXS; se lo merece por sus mas de 25 años de musica. Un abrazo y nos vemos en el prox Karaoke !!!!!!!

Hola Nino! Muchas gracias por tu comentario, siempre bienvenido en el blog.
ResponderEliminar"Last Christmas" fue la demostración de que George Michael era más que Wham! Muy hermoso tema.
El 24 va el tema de QUEEN, de todas maneras.
Y para el 2010 irá en algún un merecido post sobre INXS.
Un fuerte abrazo y mis mejores deseos para tí y para Luisa en estas fiestas navideñas.
