Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice.
Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice.
Bought me a diamond ring for Christmas,
Now I'm living in paradise.

1. Have you heard White Christmas by the Statues?
Only one word fits: bizarre!
I don't know if they were white or black, or what year it came out, but man did they ever use their imaginations!

2. Yes, I have.

They recorded it in 1960. Personally, I like the record!

4. No; this version is doo-wop.

An unconventional interpretation of doo-wop, to be sure, but doo-wop nonetheless!

Speaking of bizarre: anyone ever heard that reggae version of "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel?" I heard it once on college radio about 15 or 16 years ago, and never forgot it!

5. Melvin and the Blue Notes?
Anyone ever hear a song titled "The Little Boy Santa Forgot?"
