Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, it was released as a double A-side single with “We Can Work It Out”.Both songs were recorded during the sessions for the Rubber Soul album. The single topped the UK Singles Chart and the song peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100.Under the pressure of needing a new single for the Christmas market,Lennon wrote most of the lyrics and the famous guitar hook, while McCartney worked on the verses. “Day Tripper” was a typical play on words by Lennon: “Day trippers are people who go on a day trip, right? Usually on a ferryboat or something. But [the song] was kind of . . . you’re just a weekend hippie. Get it?” In the same interview Lennon said, “That’s mine. Including the lick, the guitar break and the whole bit.” In his 1970 interview with Rolling Stone, however, he used “Day Tripper” as one example of their collaboration, where one partner had the main idea but the other took up the cause and completed it.For his part, McCartney claimed it was very much a collaboration based on Lennon’s original idea.In Many Years From Now, McCartney said that “Day Tripper” was about drugs, and “a tongue-in-cheek song about someone who was … committed only in part to the idea.”The line recorded as “she’s a big teaser” was originally written as “she’s a prick teaser

Snow & Heat Miser song “Brothers” from A Miser Brothers’ Christmas 2008

I’m posting this clip from “A Miser Brothers’ Christmas” because I like the meaning behind the song “Brothers” which is sung here and it gives you a glimpse of when they were young and what happened to make them fight with each other all these years. Plus the song the Brothers sing at the end of this video is reversed in the way they are singing each others lyrics. What are your thoughts on it? A Miser Brothers’ Christmas is a stop motion spin-off special based on the characters from 1974 Rankin-Bass special The Year Without a Santa Claus. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the rights holders of the post-1973 Rankin Bass library and Toronto-based Cuppa Coffee Studios, the one-hour special premiered on ABC Family December 13, 2008 during the network’s The 25 Days of Christmas Christmas programming. Mickey Rooney and George S. Irving reprised their respective roles as Santa Claus and Heat Miser. Snow Miser, originally portrayed by Dick Shawn who died in 1987, was voiced by Juan Chioran, while Mrs. Claus, who was voiced by Shirley Booth, who died in 1992, was done in this special by Catherine Disher.

Merry Christmas everyone and good wishes for a Happy New year. Music is Oh Holy Night

Christmas greetings from Greet Lyrics Oh Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! Oh night divine, the night when Christ was born; Oh night divine! Oh night, Oh night divine! Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, Oh, Oh, Oh night Oh night divine divine! Oh night divine! Oh Night, Oh Holy night

Silent Night: The Story of the Christmas Carol (1953) Song History, Music and Lyrics

01.01.11

FREE MP3S! ► amzn.to ► XmasFLIX.com ► DVD ► http ► MUSIC ► amzn.to “Silent Night” (German: Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht) is a popular Christmas carol. The original lyrics of the song Stille Nacht were written in Austria by the priest Father Joseph Mohr and the melody was composed by the Austrian headmaster Franz Xaver Gruber. In 1859, John Freeman Young (second Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Florida) published the English translation that is most frequently sung today. The version of the melody that is generally sung today differs slightly (particularly in the final strain) from Gruber’s original, which was a sprightly, dance-like tune in 6/8, as opposed to the slow, meditative lullaby version generally sung today. Today, the lyrics and melody are in the public domain. The carol was first performed in the Nikolaus-Kirche (Church of St. Nicholas) in Oberndorf, Austria on December 24, 1818. Mohr had composed the words two years earlier, in 1816, but on Christmas Eve brought them to Gruber and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for the church service. Silent Night historian, Renate Ebeling-Winkler Berenguer says that the first mention of a broken organ was in a book published in the US Some believe that Mohr simply wanted a new Christmas carol that he could play on his guitar. The Silent Night Society says that there are “many romantic stories and legends” that add their own anecdotal details to the known facts. The original manuscript has been lost
