Mele Kalikimaka – IOTW Report

I was sitting in the grocery store parking lot listening to a local station that’s been playing Christmas music for the last month. Despite the icy walkways, high obstructing snow banks on every corner and the overly aggressive Minneapolis drivers in town for some last minute Christmas shopping, this song by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sister made them all melt away.

  1. I’ve been listening to the “Holly” channel on sirius XM all month, great stuff from Nat King Cole, Johhny Mathis, Frank and Dean. But what has been a real treat is that I get to listen to contemporary stuff from artists I never heard of singing Christmas songs, folks like Kacey Musgraves, John Legend and Idina Menzel. Idina will send chills down your spine, what a talent.

    Made this song famous when she was
    part of the Arthur Godfrey show

    Godfrey very minorly ” co-starred ”
    in ALL her performances and recordings
    and therefor

    Collected just as much royalties as she did
    although he did almost nothing to earn it.

    Haleloke was one of the first to quit
    Godfrey after his notorious on air
    firing of Julius LaRosa

    And that incident self destructed
    Godfrey’s career.
