The old version sounds better and less annoying to the ear, but I kind of understand why they changed it. Harder for kids to learn how to sing. Still, it'd be great if the old version came back in widespread popularity.

For those wondering why James Lord Pierpont wrote "we got upsot" in Jingle Bells you have to understand that this song was written in 1857 when poetry was how songs were written, they were written poetically, read the entire verse again. A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon, Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side, The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot He got into a drifted bank (IE the sleigh started drifting) And then we got upsot. (The horse crashed the sleigh and the sleigh overturned) Upsot is not a fancy way to say Upset. Upsot means to tip over or overturn.

What a gorgeous original arrangement. I think it was a popular song among the kids for as long as I can remember it; maybe it was simplified melodically for young musicians. Who knows? But this is the version I much prefer.

To Tom Roush: Let me explain what is happening. There is a popular music chanel made it by a great spanish guy called Jaime Altozano. Well, he talked in his latest video baout xmas song and the original Jingle Bells song was played. It seems that your channel is the only one who has with original musica and lyrics so here we are amigo!! :D. Hope you do not mind a couple of crazy spanish speakin guys in your chanel :).

[@aggomez594]

This is really the original version. Both of them are great.

[@gdbrabenec]

Not really a Christmas song, this is an ancestor of the whole American popular music genre of songs about cars, car racing, and cruising for girls. The lyrics describe the vehicle, racing, crashing, and picking up girls, just like Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and everybody else. There's good description of the social scene around sleigh riding in Laura Ingles Wilder's "These Happy Golden Years" from the Little House in the Big Woods series. I think your video and rendition are first rate, especially showing the sheet music. Thanks!

[@JohnGisMe]

Chuck berry's "Rock and Roll Music" song was released almost exactly 1 century after this.

[@johnv6089]

I had no clue this was the original. I heard this in an untitled compilation and it took me FOREVER to find out who sings this. I like this so much more than how it’s sung today. Such beautiful harmonies. It’s disappointing no one has carried on this style.

[@andergriff]

Splendid. And to think that just one person played all the instruments and performed all the vocals!

[@TheAnimatedWonders]

I think the reason people are liking this more again is because its different to what we're familiar with and sounds refreshing to the ear. It is interesting that this is from 1857 though, that's just wild. Nearly 200 years old haha

[@Peter_1986]

It is more than that: this version has a more varied melody, and it also combines major and minor chords, and those qualities tend to make a song more interesting and exciting.

[@MKIVWWI]

Excellent original version. Per Wikipedia: "The original 1857 "Jingle Bells" had a slightly different chorus featuring a more classical-style melody. The "I V vi iii IV I V I" chord progression is a common theme in classical music; except for the final two chord changes, the melody as originally written follows the same chord progression as Pachelbel's Canon; the tune would later become more closely associated with another Christmas song, “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas,” which appeared about twenty years after "Jingle Bells"." When I first heard the original version, I heard an element of "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas". After reading this Wikipedia article, I can also hear an element of Pachelbel's Canon in D, as well! Sort of odd that a song that does not mention Christmas, in either religious or secular terms, should become the song most associated with Christmas. Since growing up in the 1960s, I've heard "Jingle Bells" more than any other Christmas song (also, of course, thanks to it's inclusion in many hundreds of commercials over the decades!). But in any given Xmas season, whether you're even aware of it, you'll hear "Jingle Bells" more than any other, including "White Christmas". Probably because it makes such perfect bouncy 'background music' for commercials!

[@eyeball226]

That's interesting, because what I'm hearing here is I V vi III IV I V I. Note the major III chord as opposed to the minor iii chord.

[@johnrottler4000]

@@eyeball226 Yeah but still you could consider it as a variation of Pachabel’s Canon as it’s still very similar and definitely influenced by it

[@eyeball226]

@@johnrottler4000 Yes, my point was just that it wasn't what the original commenter had claimed (with the minor iii chord).

[@johnrottler4000]

@@eyeball226 Yup but I would still say it’s safe to call it a variation of The Pachabel’s Progression

[@southerncaliforniaearlymus8869]

Hi, Tom. This is absolutely delightful! The original chorus is so refreshing, rather like the original chorus of "My Western Home." Thanks for showing the sheet music. I can sing along on the chorus, which is grand fun! I'm fascinated that the tenor line in the chorus uses a most unusual C clef on the third space. This is a very rare way to note an octave clef. Fascinating that Pierpont uses it in 1857, assuming the sheet music you show is the original or close to it. No doubt a good topic for a musicology paper! 😉

[@MusicOfTomRoush]
