If you like your Christmas tidings with a dollop of good humor, then this batch of holiday tunes is right up your alley. The lineup ranges from cute and innocuous (the Chipmunks, the Singing Dogs, and Spike Jones) to satirical (Stan Freberg and Allan Sherman) and just plain weird (Elmo and Patsy's "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and Tom Lehrer's "A Christmas Carol"). A fun seasonal alternative to Bing Crosby. ~ Cub Koda

Best Xmas Album Ever This is the best album of Christmas songs ever. My favorite is Christmas at Ground Zero, which is the one I bought the CD for. But the whole thing is great. I'd recommend it to everyone. Submitted by nason-laura (Niles MI USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.

FUN MUSIC THIS CD CONTAINS NON TRADITIONAL X-MAS MUSIC. MY CHILDREN AND I HAVE HAD ALOT OF FUN WITH THIS CD. IT SHOWS ANOTHER SIDE OF HOLIDAY MUSIC. Submitted by ebmmlucas2 (LANGHORNE, PA USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
A few GREAT songs! This one contains the original "I want a hippo. for XMas" & "Grandma got run over by a raindeer". There are a few other great songs, but some of the other songs are a bit bad & really obnoxious. Because of these great songs I give it a 4. It was priced right.

But for Julius Sanchez, family heritage and the desire to make his band Fade 2 Black a success go hand in hand, with neither sacrificed for the other.Sanchez is very proud of his family's Pilipino (Pacific Islander) heritage and wants to prove that the group can be "just as successful as other groups out there" in the pop/rock arena.

'Fade Away' blends influences from such diverse groups such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, blink 182 and The Carpenters and from solo artists such as Debbie Boone and Mariah Carey into a musical concoction Sanchez labels as "bittersweet, like dark chocolate...a dark overtone with an underlying bit of hope." 'Fade Away' captures the pangs of adolescence in several songs blending smooth musicianship and clever songwriting. "Something Special", "I Will Always" and "Rainy Days" illustrate memorable hooks that stick in your mind. "Simply Miss Your ...

$11.49 Everyone knows the lengthy history of The Punch Line; their various ups, downs and incarnations. And now everyone knows that the band that promised to deliver a solid, instantly classic POP album has done just that. April, 2006 finally saw the band's oft-talked about, oft-rumored (and near-legendary) "...to get ...
