(Sleigh ride, sleigh ride)

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring-ting-tingling, too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling, "Yoo-hoo!"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Together with you

Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, it's grand
Just holding your hand

We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy-cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Together with you

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing
Without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Oh pop pop

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember
All through our lives!

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring-ting-tingling, too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Together with you, ooh
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling, "Yoo-hoo!"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Together with you
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy-cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Together with you
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, go
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, now
Sleigh ride, sleigh ride
Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, let's take a
Sleigh ride, sleigh ride
All right girls sing
Let's take a sleigh ride now
Come on

    I love the song, but never knew DG say this. I once saw/heard her sing in a mall (immediately before or after she was discovered). I even got to say 'hello' to her (as I wondered who the heck she was:)She was so bubbly and happy....and it was obvious she would move on up the ladder. This is such a romantic track because it allows the listener to visual the ride through the snow with a loved one. Never got the chance to go on a sleigh ride and somehow holding onto the back of a guy on a snowmobile just didn't cut it:)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
