I grew up watching this, along with many other Christmas specials, recorded onto a janky old VHS tape. The tape is long gone, but God bless KZbin and other streaming services that allow it to remain a part of my holiday traditions!

Every time I hear or sing or think of this song, I automatically think of the camels! They have a way of coloring the sound of this song with their jazzy version of the chorus!

Fun Fact: There was one more lyric to this song that the deep voiced king was supposed to sing about Myrrh, but Claymation most likely deemed it too dark for children... they're definitely not wrong. xD

I watched this every year for most of my childhood, and I distinctly remember the verse about myrrh being in it, so I think they for whatever reason cut it out of this video. Also, there are three kings, and they all sing the first verse, so it makes logical sense that each would have a second verse.
@sonniepronounceds-au-ni92878 ай бұрын
It's not too dark for children; It's literally the gospel. It's the most important part. Why glaze over what Good Friday and Easter are supposed to be? It is just all leading to the cross and the resurrection.

Tradition has the Wise Men [The Bible never gave an amount. Jericho was a wicked, wicked city. Three men carrying valuables would never make it through. This is a prime example of 'Safety in Numbers'.] visiting Jesus in the manger. This is another tradition that is wrong. Matthew 2:11 says that Jesus was in a house. We are not told whose house, or how Mary, Joseph & Jesus got the house.
@suziequzie19612 ай бұрын
Yes, all the Nativity scenes have the Wise men in it, but that's inaccurate. Jesus could have been as much as a year or two old by the time they arrived.

Love this version - but - why didn't they do a cute Claymation depiction of the verse where Jesus is slowly tortured to death and his body is sealed in a stone-cold tomb? That would have been BOSS!

They should have mentioned the myrrh part of the song predicting the crucifixion and included Herod slaughtering the two year olds to try to kill Christ out of fear of being usurped by the Messiah after the wise men mentioned to him their quest of following the star. And, Mary and Joseph fleeing to Egypt with toddler Jesus to avoid Herod's men and using the wealth of the wise men's gifts to survive in exile. Then, we could have really gotten into the scary parts.
@sonniepronounceds-au-ni92878 ай бұрын
Hell, they could have included the angels talking to the shepherds or warning Mary and Joseph of Herod in their biblically accurate forms, and we could keep reminding ourselves to "be not afraid".
