Colour Me Christmas

 

Monday Music Moves Me  has a fun Christmas topic which is all about colour. Cathy at Curious as A Cathy has a fun one and here are my 3...

1. DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY BY TSCHAIKOVSKY

I chose, out of a million versions, this one conducted by the Master, Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. He is great and I love this version. It fits the theme because plum is a colour.

2. SILVER BELLS SUNG BY BOB HOPE & MARILYN MAXWELL-1950

This famous song, originated in the film, " The Lemon Drop Kid" and became a standard for Bob Hope on his many Christmas specials. He sings this with Marilyn Maxwell often referred to as Mrs  Bob Hope because they had a lengthy love affair. 

3. RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER SUNG BY BURL IVES-1964

 

I had to choose this version because it's from 1964 and this famous TV special with the puppets. I love it and what an effing shame they get rid of songs because they are called misfits. WTF!? Hey, I wad a misfit and I was bullied...bullying happens even today. It is what it is..get over it. Ok, My rant for today. I will do my Oscar one next week even though I doubt anyone will read it:)

 Merry Christmas!
