Tony Bennett's. <BR/>And yes, it does swing! Whether or not it's a Christmas song I'll leave to you Americans to debate. :)<BR/><BR/>Says wikipedia: "The wintertime imagery of some of the lyrics has made "My Favorite Things" a popular song during the Christmas season, and it often appears on holiday-themed albums and compilations, although in the show and movie it is sung during a summer thunderstorm." <BR/><BR/>;)Martin Klaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674967689346214956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9650669.post-18459318830369664322008-12-16T22:57:00.000-05:002008-12-16T22:57:00.000-05:00Uh-oh... the debate over "My Favorite Things" rage...Uh-oh... the debate over "My Favorite Things" rages on...<BR/><BR/>Who's Francis?<BR/><BR/><BR/>CaptCaptainOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12030675074503708747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9650669.post-34994061976559435762008-12-16T12:15:00.000-05:002008-12-16T12:15:00.000-05:00"Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with nood..."Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles" + a competent artist (e.g., Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, The Supremes) = Xmas song.

It is not a Christmas song and it always makes me wince hearing it on Christmas albums. I first encountered "My Favorite Things" presented as a Christmas song on the True Value Happy Holidays Vol. III album over 40 years ago (sung by Florence Henderson) and I thought someone had made a mistake. I still think so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
