That arrangement's a bit interesting in places isn't it? I like it very much.

You can put in a bit too much swing, it would seem.

The Phil Spector Christmas Album
Ronettes, Crystals, Darlene Love

While I certainly appreciate the production, there's just something not very Christmassy about the whole murder thing.

Im with winjimette, stuff buying an album and get singing - just google the song title + chords + lyrics

1. Twelve Days of Christmas
2. Falalalalalala (you know the one)
3. God rest ye merry gentlemen
4. Away in a manger

If you’re still going after that lot, you’ll find others in the search results

...FIVE GOLD RINGS!...four something else, three something something etc.

Hopefully by this time next year we'll.have moved.the piano up from my mother's - and I'll have remembered how to play it.

There's a variation over the BSO tunes, I have a couple of CDs

Very much pre-murder, all from the 60's
