2009 song

[ken collins]

Just wondering what the hot new song/audio track is for this year. Last year Christmas With a Capital C was voted nr 1 nationally. Got that off the internet somewhere.

That song was not a popular song in my display. People actually left when it started and came back 5 minutes later after the song ended.

I have it in the display again, but I use it every now and then.

While I actually agree with the sentiments in that song, I try not to use songs that can alienate my audience (other than the fact that most of my songs are VERY "Christ's birth" oriented - that's what I feel the whole reason for the display is about...) I want to come away with a celebration of Christ's birth, not come off as someone who nitpicks about what the season is called...

I used that song last year and it's back this year also. I, too, agree with the sentiment of the song and also with everything Tim had to say - right up to not wanting to offend anyone. If that song offends someone I really don't care. Let 'em drive away - it's crowded enough in the street almost all night anyway and if someone wants to leave in a snit it just makes more room for others.

We added Joy to the World by GoFish and it's huge hit. (edited down to just over 2 minutes.) Still number 2 audience favorite is Disco Santa, while Yellow Snow is still the #1 favorite after 3 years.

I've found very few songs with vocals that work, and especially not any song with narration. Up tempo songs always seem to work better.

seems this year Music Box Dancer seems to be the popular song to add to the display...

lots did it last year but even more this year...
