The Christmas SongOr Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire "The Christmas Song", commonly subtitled "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" or "Merry Christmas to You", is a classic Christmas song written in 1944 by vocalist Mel Torme and Bob Wells. According to Torme, the song was written during a blistering hot summer. In an effort to "stay cool by thinking cool," the most-performed (according to BMI) Christmas song was born. "I saw a spiral pad on his piano with four lines written in pencil," Torme recalled. "They started, 'Chestnuts roasting ... Jack Frost nipping ... Yuletide carols ... Folks dressed up like Eskimos.' Bob (Wells, co-writer) didn't think he was writing a song lyric. He said he thought if he could immerse himself in winter he could cool off. Forty minutes later that song was written. I wrote all the music and some of the lyrics." Source: Wikipedia Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, Help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa's on his way; He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother's child is going to spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so I'm offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways, A very Merry Christmas to you The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)Michael Buble - Official HD |
