Hello,

nun beginnt ja wieder die Zeit, in der wir im Radio von Songs wie Last Christmas und ähnlichem zugedröhnt werden.
Mit der weitgereisten Gesellschaft hier kam mir die Idee, dass wir vielleicht etwas weniger bekannte -und damit nervtötende- Weihnachtslieder aus aller Welt sammeln könnten:D

Ich mach' dann auch gleich mal den Anfang:

Grandma got run over by a Rendeer
War mir unbekannt, bis ich im neuseeländischen Radio täglich damit bombardiert wurde...

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa.
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog.
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd forgot her medication,
and she staggered out the door into the snow.

When we found her Christmas mornin, '
at the scene of the attack.
She had hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa.
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.

It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?
(Send them back)

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table.
And the pudding made of fig.
And a blue and silver candle,
that would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbors.
"Better watch out for yourselves."
They should never give a license,
to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
(Sing it Grandpa)

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Merry Christmas

Mal was besinnlicheres:
Sissel Kyrkjebø & Tommy Körberg: Julen er här ("Weihnachten ist da")
Norwegisch-Schwedische Kooperation. Zugegeben, seeeehr schnulzig. Aber da man vom Text eh kein Wort versteht, kann man es verschmerzen:D

http://www.you_tube.com/watch?v=4V-pX9YA34k
Und noch eines im gleichen Stile, mit dem Titel "Gå Inte Förbi" ("geh nicht vorbei")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEgp4hZRCrI http://www.you_tube.com/watch?v=FEgp4hZRCrI

Bei Interesse, hier gibt's noch ein ganzes Weihnachtsalbum von Sissel zum anhören. Okay, ich geb's ja zu - für Winterspaziergänge kann ich mir keine schönere Musik vorstellen (z.B. Tracks 3 & 9) :o .
Bin aber halt auch ein Fan der norwegischen Sprache *ggg*

Zum Abschluss wieder was witziges:

Joe Diffie - Leroy the Redneck Reindeer
Eigentlich kann ich Country Weihnachtssongs nicht ausstehen. Aber die Idee und Lyrics bei diesem gefallen mir doch ;)

Well you've all heard the story
About Rudolph and his nose
Well I'll tell you a Christmas tell
That never has been told
Well you may think you've heard it all
But you ain't heard nothin' yet
About that crazy Christmas
That the North Pole can't forget

Rudolph was under the weather
And had to call in sick
So he got on the horn
To his cousin Leroy
Who lived out in the sticks
He said Santa's really counting on me
And I hate to pass the buck
Leroy said Hey I'm on my way
And he jumped in his pick-up truck
When Leroy got to the North Pole
All the reindeer stiggered and laughed
They never seen a deer in overalls
And a John Deer tracktor hat
Well Santa stepped in
And said just calm down
Cuz we all got a job to do
Like it or not Leroy's in charge
And he's gonna be leading you
And it was

Leroy The Redneck Reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ol' boys
And girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal
Two Steppin all across the sky
He makes jingle bells with the rebel yell
And made history that night

Before that night was over
Leroy had changed there tune
He had them scootin a holf
On every single roof
By the light of a neon moon
Santa wrapped his bad with the dixie flag
He as having the time of his life
You could here him call
Merry Chistmas Yall
And all of yall a goodnight
And it was

Leroy The Redneck Reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ol' boys
And girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal
Two Steppin all across the sky
He makes jingle bells with the rebel yell
And made history that night

He makes Jingle Bells with the rebel yell
And made history that night

Wer weiss, vielleicht kann der eine oder andere ja noch was beitragen!

Grüessli,
