Name that Christmas Tune two-fer (again)

[lumineaux]

(1)  You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing "Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly"


(2)  O morning stars, together
    Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
    And peace to men on earth.

And the answers are:(1) Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree; and (2) O Little Town of Bethlehem

Once again, we note that my sense of Christmas music has mostly stopped by the time we close the circa-1940 hymnal.

But I do love "O Little Town of Bethlehem"!

But who could forget Brenda Lee's high-pitched quaver, almost Dolly-Parton-ish?

"Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree"....

I'd rather hear "O Little Town of Bethlehem", personally. :-)

Apologies to the host - I got overexcited. ;-)

I have a rockabilly version of (1) by the Smithereens in my holiday music playlist on the iPad.

And not the new Miley Cyrus version? :-)

Is the Smithereens version good? I am much intrigued.

Well, I like the Smithereens version.

1. I really don't know, so I'll go with the stupidly obvious- "Deck the Halls"- even though that doesn't really seem to scan.

2. O Little Town of Bethlehem

1. Jingle Bell Rock

2. I should know the second one but I'm drawing a blank.
