Well here we are in December and it's time we selected the best song of the season. Our elves just put a new needle on the turntable and we are ready for your original picks. Rock, country,jazz or blues, it all works for us here at Monahanssong Headquarters. The winner will get props on this blog AND receive a CD of hand selected gems from our staff archives. The winning tune should be in video format so recon YouTube before nominating so we can share with everyone. Simply comment on this post to make a suggestion or send it HERE!
As always, let us look beyond the obvious songs like this one. You have all been good this year so enjoy this Bobby Helms classic from 1957, "Jingle Bell Rock". Over 70 artists have released a version of this song, but this version is the best.
From the movie "Meet Me in St. Louis" Judy Garlands version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". With all the jolly hoopla of the season, the melancholy of her version makes me think of Christmases past & those missing from around the tree and it is true to the songs' WWII wartime sentiment...

OK, this is how I feel after the crowds, shopping, traffic, jerks, muzak, etc. Plus love Eric Idle! (Hope this is not to graphic for the blog)
