(already bought the Johnny Mandel arrangement of My Valentine) Thanks Omni, Atlanta, GA May 18, 1976, Feb. So which is it Just need to know because I was going to buy the one on iTunes. It was originally issued as a single not found on any album. But someone on here (cant find the bloody thread) said the reverse. For this episode, Alex Rawls talked to Tuxedo’s Jake One and The Breton Sound’s Jonathan Pretus about the song, versions of it, and their other Christmas songs. Wonderful Christmastime was recorded by Paul during the sessions for his album McCartney II. Electro boogie duo Tuxedo cut an on-brand version in 2014, and New Orleans rock band The Breton Sound cut a pop-punk version a year later. The song has proven to be very coverable, far more so than the biggest contemporary Christmas song, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You,” and on this episode I talk to two artists who have recorded versions of the song. Sometimes, the most unexpected (and most polarizing) gestures end up being the most enduring.” Written (by McCartney, obviously) on what he recalls was a ‘boiling hot day in July’, and recorded during sessions for the McCartney II album, the song was released in November 1979. I don’t care if the latest American Idol runner-up warbles his way through O, Holy Night, just don’t let me hear the great Paul McCartney butcher a song in the holiday season.Īndrew Winistorfer defended the song for in 2012 in a piece that often reads like an overcorrection-he claims the song is “the original-and by far best-Chillwave song”-and Annie Zaleski wrote at in 2016 that “‘Wonderful Christmastime’ represents one of McCartney's biggest post-Beatles pivot points - a low-pressure song where he reasserted his independence and started a metamorphosis that would linger for years.
It’s like if Van Gogh had done macaroni art. Them putting out this dreck is like if Irvin Berlin wrote The Thong Song.
A sense of economic injustice likely fuels the outrage that writer Chris Chase expressed toward it and John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” in 2010: Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” is one of America’s least-loved Christmas songs if you read the annual lists of worst Christmas songs, but it’s also one of the most popular, so much so that Forbes reported in 2010 that it likely earned him between $400,000 and $600,000 annually.
