advent calendar day 2
I overslept this morning. Yet somehow I still managed to drag the trash to the curb and get to work more or less on time. I even managed to upload today's Advent calendar songs before I left the house. I feel terrible and I wish I was still in bed, but we can't have everything in life.
Today's song is that holiday classic we all know and love, "Sleigh Ride". Here are five versions for you to choose from. (I hope I have them labeled correctly. I was in a hurry this morning, as previously stated.)
Kristin Chenoweth f/John Pizzarelli -- Sleigh Ride/Marshmallow World
K.T. Tunstall -- Sleigh Ride
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones -- Sleigh Ride
Debbie Gibson -- Sleigh Ride
Hilary Duff -- Sleigh Ride
The cutest version is Kristin's. The most nontraditional is Bela Fleck, of course, since it is a) bluegrass, b) instrumental, and c) heavily features the banjo. It's from The Flecktones' new Christmas cd, which is great, if you like bluegrass, which I happen to. K.T. Tunstall's version comes from a new holiday compilation by various pop artists called Holiday Cafe. There will be more tracks from that album later on in the calendar. And the Debbie Gibson and Hilary Duff versions I just stuck here because they make me laugh.
I was going to tell you all a long story about work last night and a conversation about mucus, but I'll spare you. You can thank me however you see fit, though I could use a better Christmas icon, if you're taking hints.
