Song of the Day: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Today’s song is Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by Darlene Love.

I know it’s July.
That’s what makes it fun.
You weren’t expecting it.

The snow’s comin’ down. I’m watchin’ it fall.

It has a goofy saxophone solo and some lovely harmonies.

This song is from the early ’60’s.
It has been covered by so many that it’s hilarious.
Pick your favorite (You’d be shocked by some of these names):
Mariah Carey. Michael Bublé. Death Cab For Cutie. Rosie O’Donnell. Smash Mouth. U2. Dropkick Murphys. Hanson. The Lumineers.The Offspring. Joey Ramone, among many others.

I swear, it’s freaking hilarious how many styles and variations of this song there are.
It’s also pretty sweet.
Regardless of your taste, sappy holiday music exists for you.
