Brit Reacts to 8 Christmas Songs I Only Heard After Moving to America

[@lilacpower2693]

"Grandma got run over by a reindeer" is a crazy Christmas song😂. "You might say there's no such thing as Santa, but as for me and grandma, we believe" 😂.

[@misslora3896]

He's definitely needs to listen to the lyrics. I seem to recall it came out when I was a teenager which was the 80's. Became an immediate and enduring Christmas favorite all over.

[@brandonaston301]

The Chipmunk Song is huge in the U.S. and has been for decades.

[@susanfarley1332]

I even heard it in Mexico

[@karladoesstuff]

I've never thought of "Christmas Time is Here" as a sad song. It just sounds mellow and peaceful like falling snow. And it does have words, you can hear it in the clip.

[@milemarker301]

It's a soft song like snowfall... lovely, not sad. Contentment.

[@chris...9497]

I would say 'wistful'.

[@sassysuzy4u]

I was just going to say, Christmas Time is Here 100% has lyrics haha

[@pollywollydoodle831]

"Christmas time is here/ Happiness & cheer/ Fun for all that children call/ Their favorite time of year./ Snowflakes in the air/Carols everywhere/ Olden times and ancient rhymes / Of love & dreams to share." I'm old enough to remember the debut of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on network TV. Also, Vince Guaraldi was a jazz composer, so you can kind of expect a bit of minor-key composition in his Christmas music.

[@conniehenry9402]

One of my favorite Christmas song.

[@Peter95111]

The entire Charlie Brown Christmas album is a staple. It’s not Christmas without playing that throughout the holiday season.

[@kayyyyooo6946]

i could listen to o tannenbaum all day

[@chris...9497]

The composer for "The Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack" was jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi, who performed the instrumentation with the Vince Guaraldi Trio. Great music. Most famous and most popular is probably the "Charlie Brown Christmas Dance", an instrumental. Other great instrumentals from this album: "Christmas is Coming" and "Skating".

[@therealthornblossom3740]

Linus and Lucy is fun, too

[@777slynn]

You should do a reaction listening to these Christmas songs. It would be fun to watch. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas is one of my favorites. It was actually a campaign to raise money for a zoo to purchase a Hippo. The song worked and there were donations from families due to the pleas from kids to help her get one for Christmas. The zoo got their hippo and we all got a catchy Christmas tune. Also, I am in agreement with the rest of the comments that you should listen to Grandma Got Runover By a Reindeer. It was proof that Santa really existed. It's a lot of fun. You should break it out at your family's Christmas gathering to have a good laugh.

[@cookielady7662]

Yep, it's a fun song. Make sure you have plenty of eggnog first though.

The Christmas songs begin the day after Halloween. So, yes; too many times.

[@LA_HA]

@@chris...9497 It's weird. Everyone agrees. We all hate it. And yet, Nothing changes... Or rather, changes back.

The Hippo song was sung by a child star who moved to Oklahoma City and with the local Zoo got this song which made the funds and a baby hippo available to the Zoo. The hippo Matilda lived for about 50 years and when she passed they were able to use the proceeds to acquire a pygmy hippo in 2017

[@chris...9497]

"I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" is a song from the 1950s (1952), the decade I was born. The same decade brought us the Christmas classics of "All I Want for Christmas is My Two-Front Teeth" (technically 1948) and "Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer" (again, technically 1949). There are a number of iterations of it, it being covered by a lot of famous singers. It starts out: "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause Underneath the mistletoe last night They didn't see me creep Down the stairs to have a peep She thought that I was tucked up In my bedroom, fast asleep" Most of these songs Laurence mentions are what are called 'novelty songs'; they aren't meant as serious seasonal offerings, just songs meant to entertain, including the two I mentioned previously. (The Charlie Brown song is actually serious and quite pleasant.) That said, I specifically hate the "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" song. When you go to KZbin to hear the other songs mentioned in this list, add these two novelty songs written and performed by Weird Al Yankovic: "Christmas at Ground Zero" and "The Night Santa Went Crazy". Merry Christmas!🎄 OH! One more 1950s song (1953): "Santa Baby" sung by the incredibly sexy (and originator of the role of Cat Woman) Eartha Kitt. More recently it was covered by Ariana Grande (2013) and Miley Cyrus (2018).

[@lynnw7155]

We had the album of Gene Autry singing Rudolph when we were young. We drove my parents crazy playing it over and over.

[@songbird989]

You'll be happy to know that we in the US are fully aware of "Do They know It's Christmas" and yes, it's really emotional. BTW, if you haven't guessed a lot of what you guys produce we receive here in the US.

[@misslora3896]

Like a British version of the American collaboration "We Are The World". Both recorded to raise money for charity. I think "Do they know it's Christmas" was 1984.

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

A lot of what they produce never makes it over here. We aren't aware of what doesn't make it so we assume it comes over but with KZbin and the internet I've been hearing of songs over the decades that reached number one in the UK but were never released in the US.

[@revgurley]

My favorite is "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" sung by a little kid missing their front teeth. There are a couple of videos on KZbin of kids singing it (in black and white - it's pretty old).

[@sabrinamassie5606]

One of my very favorites ... I remember being quite little and my Dad singing this song to me ...

[@misslora3896]

My grandma had it. I grew up in California, but my parents were from NE Indiana. We'd go spend Christmas with the relatives every couple of years throughout the 70's when I was a kid. Being at my Grandmas house, listening to the Chipmunks album at Christmastime is a stand out core memory.

[Edited song title] Saddest Christmas song ever for me is "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." It's a song from the movie called Meet Me In St. Louis starring Judy Garland (who played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz). It's weird because the lyrics are joyful and optimistic , but the melody, like the scene in the film, is very sad. My favorites tend to be kind of low key anyway: *O Holy Night *Glory, Glory (Beethoven) + Ode To Joy, the orchestral section played in "Die Hard" *Silver Bells *Do You Hear What I Hear? *It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas (Nat King Cole) *There's Always Tomorrow from the Rudolph TRnR tv show *God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen The most fun is the "Snow & Heat Miser" song(s) from a Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer animated TV short. It beats The Grinch Song, though that's awesome, too. haha

[@susanmurray7654]

And words were changed later to make it less so.sigh

[@LA_HA]

@@susanmurray7654 What? Really? Ugh. Glad I haven't heard it yet and hope I never do. It's like what happened to "Let It Snow." I tell ya, the 2020s are more ridiculous every year. Can't wait until we get back to normalcy and outta this Idiocracy

[@pollywollydoodle831]

Judy Garland herself insisted the lyrics be changed. She sang in to Margaret Sullivan, playing Garland's character's baby sister. Garland said that no one would ever sing such a grim song to a 5-year-old.

[@LA_HA]

@@pollywollydoodle831 Really? I wonder what the original lyrics were? I mean, these lyrics are Great. Even the music. It's just that it's sung in such a sad way because of what's going on in the film We know they're both trying hard not to be bummed out, but their true feelings are right there for anyone to see and it's sad. Thank you for the information, though. I didn't know it and I appreciate you letting me and everyone who reads this know

When I was a little kid in the early '60s, we had the record of one that used to be popular: All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth.

[@KittiesofEvil]

You definitely need to listen to these. Most of these are kids songs. Christmas don't be late(The Chipmunks Song) is Dave wanting them to sing a nice Christmas song and Alvin interrupting with his wish list. Happy Holidays!

Band Aid!! The 80's were my high school years (yeah I'm old) and al this 80's bands were huge, especially the ones coming from the UK.

i've watched charlie brown christmas every year since i was born, it's such a classic and the soundtrack is genuinely incredible. highly recommend watching it!

[@sopdox]

Do They Know It’s Christmas is very popular here. Do you know what it’s about? It was a charity song to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. It’s the song that lead up to the USA’s charity song, We Are The World, and then Live Aid, the mega charity concert performed in London and Philadelphia on the same day. Do They Know It’s Christmas included American band, Kool & The Gang in the lineup. When that song was released, my local record shop played it non-stop on a loop for days.

[@plaid11]

Can’t say I’ve ever actually heard “Dominic the Donkey”. It has a very familiar melody but the song itself is new to me. I think it’s one of those songs that was popular way back when and faded out. It’s also possible I heard it as a kid and that’s why the melody sounds familiar but never actually listened to the words. But I recognize all the other American songs. Can’t say I’ve ever heard of the songs from the UK

[@elainarose77]

Yeah I had a listen, and I’ve never heard of it either.

[@bryanCJC2105]

"Feliz Navidad" is my favorite Christmas song because everyone in my family and in my neighborhood could join in and sing together when I was a little kid.

[@yugioht42]

The grandma got run over by a reindeer song was referenced recently with the new mortal kombat fatality with a version of Krampus driving Santa’s sleigh with undead reindeer running it and the opponent losing their head to the sleigh blades. Although it starts with a candy cane lawn ornament being bashed against the opponent’s head. Ed boon knows his Christmas legends and he did it in a great way.

[@alexanderboukal5332]

"Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" is also the name of a kids' cartoon that came on during the holiday season after "Recess" on ABC during the early 2000s.

Charley Brown is a comic strip in newspapers & then holiday movies like 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' or 'It the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown'. ~ Look up 'I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus' on KZbin. Very cute song. ~ I am 70 & have never heard the donkey song. ~ Definitely check out the fun & silly Christmas song, Grandma got run over by a reindeer. Very fun. The Chipmunk song is also adorable & kids especially love it. Listen to these songs. You will be smiling. I promise. Also, many country artists have original Christmas songs, as do other genres too. There are thousands of Christmas songs, besides those traditional ones we all know. Merry Christmas from Michigan, USA, Honey. Enjoy every moment.

[@kindredspiritbaseballmom7913]

I love hearing all of these songs! I think of them as classic Christmas songs. The Peanuts song, Christmas Time is Here, does have lyrics. I don't really consider Kenny Loggins' Celebrate Me Home as a Christmas song but it is a great song either way.

[@suem6004]

Celebrate me home is a nostalgic waltz. Very lovely. Do you all hear Marshmallow world? A popular song sung by all the big stars back in the day. The entire Charlie Brown Christmas album came from a Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon. Played every year. Same with Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer... a cartoon with an album with loads of other songs. Same with 'you're a mean one Mr grinch'. The lyrics if you listen to all of them are hilarious.

I had to look up Dominick the Donkey--in all my (many) years, I had never heard it before!...but I was practically raised on the Chimpunk Song...and my parents routinely sang "I'm Getting Nuthin' for Christmas" to us kids just to tease us! I wonder if you have ever heard a song I've been told was really popular at Christmas in the UK but may have been before your time. It's called "A Spaceman Came Traveling" by Chris DeBurgh. I've been a huge CdB fan for decades but literally NO ONE knows who he is in the US (except for 'Lady in Red"). The song you mentioned "Do They Know its Christmas" (aka Feed the World) was a collaboration song by a bunch of pop music stars for a charity called Band Aid to fight famine in Ethiopia..I remember when it first came out in the 80's.

That is actually something it has in common with the Chipmunk song. People forget David Seville was Ross Bagdasarian's stage name and he first used it for the original version of The Witchdoctor.

The "Chipmumk Song" is a christmas song, and it introduced the chipmunks to the world back in 1958, by Ross Bagdasarian. I've listened to at least 2 different chipmunk christmas albums (I think they were released in 1965. I've seen that there are more.) in which they sing many of the various christmas songs. I'll admit I only heard of "I what a Hippopotamus ..." and "Dominick the Donkey" about 15 years ago. They're both cute though.

[@susanfarley1332]

[@cp368productions2]

Did Lawrence seriously say that the song from Charlie Brown's Christmas has no lyrics? He has to be deaf, that's the only excuse for saying that rubbish. He must have gotten Linus & Lucy which is a very complicated classical piece that does have no lyrics. But the song he played a couple seconds of is "Christmas Time is Here" and is sung over most of the feature. It's fully of lyrics "Christmas time is here, happiness and cheer, etc" I can't remember all the lyrics to it, but it has A LOT of them. His least favorites I have NEVER heard of except of course "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" that song is one of the best, along with the sequel "Grandpa's Gonna Sue the Pants off of Santa"

[@sabrinamassie5606]

Yeah .. I was surprised by that too .. I think he has that song mixed up with the "piano" symphony by Linus ...

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

Charlie Brown was very popular as a comic from 1959 and as a tv cartoon from 1965. The movie A Charlie Brown Christmas from 1965 was so popular it still comes on tv today. But honestly it's popularity has gone way down. The height of it's popularity lasted into the 1990's but has since fizzled out for those younger generations that came after. Ok hitting on some really fun songs here... Gramma got run over by a reindeer and the chipmunk song... those are classic Christmas songs now....lol, although I can understand someone not from here being confused. Yes, those are played frequently all Christmas, in fact most of the older generation will go out of our way to make sure we don't miss them each year. There are very few Christmas songs that I won't listen to, as long as I don't have to listen before Thanksgiving, that's when they annoy me... you know the day after Halloween is a lot early for me. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season, love and light.

I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, which is a favorite, along with Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.

I saw mommy kissing Santa clause, I want a hippopotamus for Christmas, the chipmunk Christmas song, and the whole Charlie Brown Christmas Album are all on the same level as frosty the snowman and Rudolph the red nose reindeer. Felix Navidad and grandma got ran over by a reindeer come close to that but feel a little less classic and beloved then the others

I'm 67 and have lived in the US all my life. I have never heard either the Hippopotamus or Donkey song. I would highly recommend A Charlie Brown Christmas if you've never seen it. It's quite a lovely story. The "sad" music will make sense in context. It was something we looked forward to every year when I was a kid.

I have lived my 53 years American born and raised and have never heard Dominick the Donkey. And now I wish I hadn't.

You need to hear "Grandma got run over by a Raindeer", makes me laugh everytime, its just a silly fun song.

Feliz Navidad means Happy Christmas. YES, we do listen to the Chipmunk song at Christmas~

Brand new subscriber here binge watching through a lot of your videos and loving that you are reacting to so many Christmas theme videos!! Feliz Navidad is just so.....unique I guess as a Christmas song because it dares you to somehow not want to dance to the dang thing. Says a lot that the lyrics basically say nothing much and are just repeated but it's still so amazing. One of my absolute faves to get in the mood. Would say I don't think there is any surprise about the ones Lawrence doesn't like because they are all basically Christmas songs for kids right? And most of them sung from a kids perspective. And yeah a few of them have rather grating voices singing them but I guess that was the point? I don't choose to listen to them much, but the idea of having these songs that have crazy lyrics only a child could think up, sung in an awful voice because children usually can't sing particularly well, adds such a unique charm to them. The fact they and others exist for Christmas here is almost really touching to me....its what the holidays are all about!

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Music and lyrics written by British songwriter Tommie Connor and first recorded by Jimmy Boyd in 1952. The Chipmunk Song is played every Christmas 🎄.

"I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" Is as big of an American dream as you can get.. lol The song was my now oldest daughters favorite song for many years.. lol

[@therealthornblossom3740]

I love all these songs, but for me “Merry Christmas From the Family” is the quintessential Christmas song. It starts with “Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party” It was written by Robert Earl Keen but like Jill Sobule’s cover better It reminds me of my family Christmases

Christmas shoes is a very very sad song...always makes me cry...so sad so sweet

Check out Charlie Brown Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas shows. Kids in the US have grown up watching them. They are from the 1970's.

[@CindySylvester]

d/l Charlie Brown's Christmas. It's a 1 hr. Cartoon program. Every child in America has watched this for at least 30 years

[@chris...9497]

Actually, nearly 60 years. It was first televised in 1965.
