I'm Mike from torontomike.com and this is the fourth and final holiday edition of the FOTM KOTJ series. I'm in a good mood because I just returned home from getting my booster shot. That's right.

I've got three COVID-19 vaccinations in me, and I'm hopeful that all FOTMs who can hear my voice right now are able to get their third shot if they haven't had it already. Let's hang in there. It's a little bit of doom and gloom out there with the Omicron, but we're all in this together.

It's the holiday times and we've got some fantastic jams being kicked out by wonderful FOTMs. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. Happy holidays to you and yours. Enjoy the melodies. Hey, Mike, it's Ian, a.k.a. Tim. I understand this may be my last opportunity

to contribute a Christmas jam for all the FOTMs. So one of the things I really enjoy is a punk cover, because who doesn't love a punk cover? And then a couple years ago, stumbled upon this bad religion album that is called Christmas Songs. And I've played it in front of my very religious mother-in-law. And it went over pretty okay. So enjoy.

Hark the herald angels sing. Glory to the newborn king. Peace on earth and mercy mild. God and sinners reconciled. Joyful all ye nations rise. Join the triumph of the skies. With the adjah khons proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem. Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn King.

Christ the highest, heaven adored, Christ the everlasting Lord Late in time behold him come, offspring of a virgin's womb Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, hail the incarnate Deity Pleased as now with man to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King Hail the heaven, the peace of peace Hail the Son of Righteousness Light and life to all he brings

Risen with it in his wings Mild he lays his glory by Born that man no more may die Born to raise the sons of earth Born to give a second birth Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn king Glory to the newborn king Hi friends, it's Michael Lang.

One of my favorite movies, not just Christmas, but of all time, is Christmas Vacation. At one point, Clark Griswold gets locked up in his attic and starts watching some old home movies. The song that plays then is That Spirit of Christmas by Ray Charles. I really like it. I hope you do too. Christmas is the time of year For being with the ones we love Sharing so much joy and cheer What a wonderful feeling Watching the ones we love

Having so much fun I was sitting by the fireside Taking a walk through the snow listening to a children's choir singing songs about Jesus

the blessed way that he came to our bus The blessed way that he came to all of us Why can't it be me? All through the year Each day the same That's what I want to get It's truly amazing That spirit of Christmas guitar solo All the kinfolk gather round The loving Christmas tree

Hearts are glowing full of joy Says the gifts that we're giving, and the love that we're living. Why can't it remain All through the year All through the year Each day the same Each day the same That's what I want to hear I tell you

It's truly amazing That spirit of Christmas Let me hear you Why can't it remain Why can't it remain All through the years All through the years All through the years It's been the same

It's been the same And that's what I want to hear Listen to me It's truly amazing That spirit of Christmas It's truly amazing That spirit of Christmas Ain't it so?

It's truly amazing Yeah That spirit of Christmas Oh Christmas Oh Christmas Christmas! For Christmas! Hey now, this is Kennedy Kev here with my procrastinated submission for the FOTM Christmas Jams, volume whatever number we're at now. The person responsible for this song I'm picking is just so deep, valuable, and interesting that a brief intro can barely scratch, you know, really what the guy's all about. But I'll try to be quick. I'm talking about a jazz singer, and he went by the nickname The Velvet Fog. That would be the great Mel

Torme. Many FOTMs are from a vintage that would know him from his appearances as himself on the TV show Night Court. Great show. Used to love that one. Around the same time that show was on, Torme released a double live LP called Mel Torme and Friends. It was a big hit with my mom and I. It captures him performing at one of his annual residencies at Michael's Pub in New York City.

It's such a good performance, and the show makes you feel like you're right there in the club with him. My mom and I would play that album a lot. It was great because 10 years later, I ended up working with my mom, and in the small office we were at, we had a turntable, so we would play that album a lot. So, love Mel Torme. Anyways, a little bit about him.

He started writing songs when he was only 13. When he was still a teenager, he toured as a singer, arranger, and a drummer in a band led by Chico Marx from the Marx Brothers. And he's also a very good pianist, actor in movies, and as well, an author. Wrote a great book on Buddy Rich. His most famous composition, though,

is the one I've chosen as my favorite Christmas jam. The one entitled The Christmas Song, commonly referred to as Chestnuts Roasting by an Open Fire, or it was originally subtitled Merry Christmas to You. It's a classic. Mel wrote it in 1945, and he wrote it actually in the middle of the summer, in July, during a blistering heatwave, and supposedly did it as an effort to stay cool by thinking cool. Forty minutes later, he had the song written. That was it.

I think the composer does the best version of this Christmas classic from his 1992 release on an excellent album called Christmas Songs. FOTMs, this holiday season, I gift a little fog to one and all. Ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, The Velvet Fog, Mr. Mel Torme, and The Christmas Song. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols Being sung by a choir

And the fox dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes on war glow

will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that Santa is on his way He's loaded But Santa is on his way. He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.

And every mother's child is gonna spy to see if reindeer really know how to fly. So I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said many times Many ways Merry Christmas to you Love and joy come to you And to you your Christmas too And God bless you and send you

A happy new year And God send you a happy new year. Hi, my name is Nadia. And the holiday song, well, one of the holiday songs I love the most is the South Soul Orchestra's Christmas Medley. So I grew up in a house where there's a lot of music. My dad has tons and tons of records. And so there's certain records that stick out to me from listening to as a child. And I have a distinct memory of my brother and i dancing around the christmas tree listening to this song and it's always been a holiday favorite of mine and i just love it Turn, turn around, the Lord has come. Let earth believe her King. And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and nature sing And heaven and heaven and nature sing Thank you. Take the horse with bells of holly Fa la la la la la la la la Tis the season to be jolly Fa la la la la la la la la Don we now our gay apparel Fa la la la la, la la la To the ancient Utah carol

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way I've been bound to life in a one-horse open sleigh There's a ship in our sleigh In a one-horse open sleigh Thank you. Still free, make his spirits rise What sound might one day hear Of a song so true? Jingle bells, jingle bells Go down all the way We'll have it all one to one

It'll haunt us all this way We'll have it come unto us, in the wonders of this land. So we'll change the world's old tale. We'll have it come unto us, in the wonders of this land. In the one voice of His hand Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners welcome sound Joyful all ye nations round

Joyful joy lonely nations rest Joyful, joyous for the stars Let the jolies cast their blame As we mourn their flow'rds On the ground our angels sing Glory to the Lord I'm gonna do No, never wanna tell That I love you And I'm not gonna tell if you are Still I'm always coming To tell you We love the red-nosed reindeer High on the red-shining hill Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

Merry Christmas, everybody! A big hello to all the FOTMs. Cam Gordon here from Twitter Canada. And a big shout-out to Toronto Mike Boone for this opportunity to give a song choice for this new holiday playlist that he's assembling. You're going to hear me starting in early 22 on a brand new podcast on the TMDS digital service. It's called Toast and it co-stars not just myself, not just Mike,

but also Stu Stone, a famous actor that you might recognize from such famous TV shows as Dog City, Canine Cop, also known as Rin Tin Tin in some markets, as well as a personal favorite of mine, the Edison Twins. That's to say nothing of Rupert the Bear. Stu's one of the great actors of a generation and a barrel of laughs. So tune in to Toast. That's starting in early 2022. Anyway, now we're going to talk about the holiday season.

I'm not really a big holiday person, so I'm not going to dwell on it. What I do like is the band Mogwai. Mogwai are a Scottish instrumental act. They've been around for about 20, 25 years. They're fantastic. I have tickets to see them this April at the Danforth Music Hall. Hopefully, I'll see you there. In the meantime, you can enjoy one of their, they actually have a few songs that have holidays in the title, in some respect. This one's called Christmas Song. This song came out in about 1998, and it's fucking great. Anyway, enjoy, and I'll see all you FOTMs in early 2022. Thank you. Let's pray. Thank you. අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි අපි សូវាប់បានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបានបា Thank you. Hi Mike, this is Eric. I just wanted to say happy holidays and happy new year to you, your family, and all the FOTMs. I'm really looking forward to Toast.

I grew up in Thornhill, and I love it when Stu and Cam drop all these Thornhill references. In fact, I'm not 100% certain, but I may have lived on the same street as Stu Stone at one point. We can figure that all out later. Anyway, Mike, I'd love to hear the Twisted Sister cover of O Come All Ye Faithful. Thanks, Mike. I'd love to hear the Twisted Sister cover of O Come All Ye Faithful.

Merry Christmas, everyone. One of my favorite Christmas songs is Best Christmas Ever by Universal Honey. A great band offshoot of Pursuit of Happiness,

led by husband and wife team of Leslie Stanwyck and Johnny Sinclair. Their whole album actually, Can't Stop Thinking About Christmas from 2003, has a lot of great guest musicians like Jim Cuddy, Ron Sexsmith, Stephen Stanley, I could go on. But track number three is my favorite. It gets a lot of airplay during the holidays. So I would highly recommend it. Best Christmas ever, Universal Honey. Give it a listen. In fact, give the whole album a listen. Cheers.

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, dear. I hope you've been thinking of me. I'm right where I want to be. What do you say? Hey, hey Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas Day Throw another log on the fire Satisfy your desire

To get high, high, high Bells ring out Let's spend this time together Underneath the mistletoe, it's heaven This could be the best Christmas ever Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas time I just wanna be here with you There's nothing else that I'd rather do Than let it snow

Bells ring out But it's no, oh, oh Bells ring out, let's spend this time together Underneath the mistletoe is heaven This could be the best Christmas ever Absolutely heaven Bells ring out, let's burn this town together Underneath the mistletoe in heaven Baby, you'll be strong Bells ring out, let's burn this town together So it's heaven

Bells ring out, let's spend this time together This could be the best Christmas ever Absolutely heaven Absolutely heaven Hey, it's Ronald Mike. Christian here, a.k.a. Jokeroru. Apologies for the late music request. This song is an oldie but a goodie. Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song. Uh, holds some special meaning to me in particular,

uh, bringing me back to my youth and spending some great Christmas moments with my family, my father in particular, who is no longer with us. Um, every time this song comes on, I think of him. The times that we spent together, going around town, visiting family and friends, dropping off gifts, some alcoholic beverages, and just spending some good times and sharing laughs and good memories. It's amazing the power that these songs have to bring us to different points in our lives, some good, some bad, and everything in between. So, again, it's near and dear to my heart.

So if you're able to play it, I would really appreciate it. And with that said, I'd also like to thank you and all the other FOTJs out there. Thank you for your efforts and for the shows and podcasts that you've produced this year and all the years previous. We greatly appreciate it. And congratulations on the new show. Looking forward to it.

Missed the banter between you, Stu, and Cam. And I think we're spoiled for all the gifts that you've given us. With that said, thank you very much. And that's my song. And I'm wishing everybody out there happy holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And can't wait to see what 2022 brings us. Take care, Mike. Thank you.

This was one of the first Christmas songs I learned how to play on the piano when I was a kid. It was one of my mom's favorites, so she had requested it and I learned it. And every year, this was our go-to song on the piano. So it just brings back fond memories. The song is called What Child Is This? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.

Haste, haste to bring Him laud, To bring him laud The babe, the son of Mary Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding Good Christian feel for sinners here. The silent word is pleading. Shall pierce him through The cross be born For me, for you

Hail, hail The Word made flesh The Babe, the son of Mary So bring him incense,, and myrrh Come peasant king to own him The kings of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone him. Let the song on high the virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy, for Christ is born.
