Top Five Holiday Songs: X-MAs Two-fer

Aight, hope y'all had a Merry X-Mas...now on with the countdown.

"Christmas and Hollis" -Run DMC
Question: when y'all get together and sing this at your peeps house. Does everyone just jump in on DMC's "It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens..." part?




Do They Know It's Christmas"-Band Aid

Sorry, but this kicks "We Are the World"'s Huey Lewis and Dan Akroyd singing-ass.

Not only do you have Paul Young singing lead over the likes of Sting and Bono, but you have none of the old school British Rockers like the Stones, Beatles or the Who. This was strictly 2nd gen British invasion and it kicks ass. I can still hear the whining-slash-sqealing of my sister and her friends over the D2 appearances in the video and the oversinging of Simon LeBon's "It's hard but when you're having fun..." Still the best part of this video? KOOL and the M'FN GANG!!! I didn't know they were British! That's right with KATG ...iiiiiit's FRESH! FRESH! this video's fresh, Band Aid's fresh, Christmas is fresh, famines not fresh...
