Question- CHRISTMAS Song?
 

I heard a Christmas song by Gordon Lightfoot this week. I don't know the name of it, but would love to have it.. Does anyone know of this song?

I heard a Christmas song by Gordon Lightfoot this week. I don't know the name of it, but would love to have it.. Does anyone know of this song?

The only ones I can think of would be "Song for a Winter's Night" or "Circle of Steel".

No, it's neither of those.. Thank you for replying..

well, i stand to join Gord in a VHS tape toast (non-alcoholic, of course) as he sings Auld Land Syne (how do you spell that?) every New Year's...but i don't suppose that's what you're referring to, eh?

could it be something off of this compilation? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

a little time on your hands JJ?

It would have been nice to hear SFAWN on the weekend.....instead of The Wreck.....

JJ-Too cute! It never fails to amaze me what clever, talented, devoted folks we have on this site. Nice job. Thanks for a laugh!

char, i did that one-handed, i'm getting good, eh? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif

btw, next printing will definitely include a Hanukkah song since Gord had universal appeal http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

instead of the Dreidel Song, how about "Spin, Spin"?

pls, any others to add, you creative folks, you? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

JJ you are TOOOOO funny! I have been laughing until tears are coming out of my eyes!! My kids are laughing, too!! And, since we're Jewish, we LOVE the "Spin, Spin" idea for the Dreidel song!! Sorry, brains are not awake enough yet to think of any more at the moment! We've been having a relaxing Saturday morning lolling around and, of course, I'm in here!!

Great album jj but you should have used a bearded Gord to drive the ladies nuts!

he knows us too well!!

Good one! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

How about...

"I'm Not Sayin' What I Got You For Christmas"
and
"Looking At The Snow"

Sorry, jan6906. I can't think of any GL Christmas songs either.

I saved that picture to email to my brother. That's hilarious.

Briliant young Jiminy
A quick album perusal

FOR Gord's Xmas Volume 2
(songs yule love to singalong to)
Bitterly Cold on the Shoulder/Green
Black Day in December
Rudolph The Red Velveted Reindeer

Chimney Bend

is it just me? or does it not seem strange to see Lightfoot in a Santa uniform? i could probably see Peter Paul & Mary dress up but in the back of my mind he's just 1 of the last people who would.

beard or no beard, I'd like to sit on Santa's lap! The beard would be nice though.

Being Jewish myself, and knowing that Chanuka usually gets short shrift in Christmas' wake, I thought I'd post a few titles myself..and while I was on a roll, I added a few extras for some of our other holidays
For Channuka :
Anything For Latkes
All the Lovely Driedels
Songs the Macabbee Sang.
Does Your Mother Know (You got a Christmas tree?)
Affair on 8th Night


For Passover :
The Matzohs and Mary Ann
(Four Cups of )Blackberry Wine
Bitter Herbs
Brisket City


For Sukkot :
The Sukkah is Small

and For Yom Kippur :
Forgive me L-rd

JJ, I recall once making up song titles in the unlikely event that Gord should decide to turn to rap. There were a few of us involved with renaming his songs. It was hilarious! So, why don't you turn him into a rapper, and we'll see what we can come up with.

Sundreme, that was HYSTERICAL!! Thanks for the laughs!!! (loved the 4 cups of Blackberry Wine!!) And, in our case, the Sukkah is HUGE!!

If You Could Read My Megillah.
And of course, everybody's favorite :
Kreplach Highway!

<cough, cough, grabbing inhaler> That was great, Erica! O.K., now I really am a funny person, so I should try to come up with something instead of sitting back and being entertained. Give me some time...

Very Good Sheryl...And I guess Great minds think alike because I also thought Shellfish would make a good one, but couldnt think of how to include it with the holiday theme.
Since we're doing general Jewish themed Gord songs, I'll add a few more in a little while
Erica

I Used to Be a Yiddische Singer

That's funny!

You posted from left, starting at the top: A Jewish man, rabbi perhaps, admiring his menorah screen saver, next is a spinning Star of David. The Honk if you Love Hannuka Sign is pretty self explainatory I think. Though then again, you probably already know what a Star of David is too. Next, A boy dancing while dressed up like a dreidal. Then a rabbi blowing a shofar, which is a ram's horn blown on the High Holidays. Lastly, a dancing Torah Scroll.

loved it, Erica! I, too, thought of the one about Saturday Clothes, but, couldn't figure out how to put it in. Good job!

(If anyone wants/needs any interpretations, just ask!)

Erk,
Bravissimo! My personal favorites were "Does Your Mother Know (You Got a Christmas Tree)" and "Dream street Rosenberg."

cool, but maybe i'll have to email the pic edit for that (i'll try later to-day/nite), i'm just not sure where the line is as far as crossing it goes (or is it already too late? lol)

i was gonna play off the Eminem rapper idea but i understand Gord did some angry rapping during his hospital stay...how about Enima? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

say, i had a hard, hard time refinding this thread, the subject is pretty vague, lol

now, i actually started a Gordon Lightstein holiday CD cover but got interupted and think it's TOO weird to post...he's even got those curly sideburns and wearing the little hat (what's that called? i wore one once at an event but my head was way too big for it to stay on in the wind)

you guys have done GREAT, wow, i love these ones best...i just love the ring to them http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Oy Linda
Brisket City
The Sukkah is Small

and John,
Bitterly Cold on the Shoulder/Green is double the fun! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

btw, that Gord Santa pic is not real, just in case it wasn't obvious....i think the CD background and Santa i used was from a Charlie Daniels cover...so then sorry Charlie, sorry Gord...well kinda, lol http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

ps) lovely snow covered everything today, but maybe the drivers aint SO lovely, off to find out >>>>

Well JJ, if it's a hard topic to find, you don't have to worry about getting caught.

Hey, I have an idea. Post it under the name DMD3!

Somehow, I think Gord would get a kick out of it. If not, the most we have to worry about is that he calls and sasses us. He'll say, "Hello, this is Gordon Lightfoot."

We'll reply, "Gordon who? Sorry. I've never heard of you. Oh wait. Aren't you the rap star who uses Enima for a stage name?"

Hey, when in trouble, play dumb.

Cathy, you are too funny! Yeah, just what wouldn't we say to him if he called? Brink? Got any ideas???!!!
