Me and my drum...

Countdown to Christmas 23 days

Did you know that there are over 220 different versions of The Little Drummer Boy?

I have 44 of them.

Alvin & the Chipmunks
Andy Williams
Anne Murray
Anthony Rapp & Everett Bradley
Beck (the Little Drum Machine)
Bing Crosby & David Bowie (Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy)
Brenda Lee
Burl Ives
Chicago
The Dandy Warhols
Diana Ross & The Supremes
Dolly Parton
Frank Sinatra
Harry Connick Jr
Harry Simeone Choral - The one you know and love.
Henry Mancini
Jack Latnier (L'Enfant Au Tambour)
The Jackson 5
Jars Of Clay
Jessica Simpson & Ashlee Simpson
Joan Jett + The Blackhearts - If you're going to re-do a classic, this is the way to do it.
John Denver
John Williams & The Boston Pops Orchestra
Johnny Cash - One of my least favorite versions. He cheats you out of many par-um-pa-ba-bums.
Johnny Mathis
Lena Horne
Lennon Sisters
Les Dragobert (L'Enfant Au Tambour)
Linda Eder
Mannheim Steamroller
Marlene Dietrich - One of my favorite versions.
Neil Diamond
Norma Luboff Choir
Peggy Lee
Percy Faith
RuPaul
Take 6
Temptations
Tennessee Ernie Ford
Tori Amos
Vanessa Williams

98 Degrees

Before you judge me, I do not listen to every single version. But I have collected them all into one 3 hour playlist. If you push me, I will force you to listen to it. It's right there next to my "Don't Cry For Me Argentina playlist that has 18 songs and goes for an hour and half.
