[Corki]

And as you can guess, the M-G is voting for O Come All Ye Faithful.

[Daetirion]

Never would've guessed Corki

 

Anyone'd think you enjoyed Latin... damn Classicist's...

[Samuraiflip05]

O come all ye faithful

[Auld Manriva]

Not ME!! I'm a Ave Maria fan.... Nutin' better than Ol' Deceased Pavarotti beltin' out that little ditty.... OR them little Vy-eenie Choir Fellers.. Brings a tear to my eye so it does... Honestly, it's my favorite song of the Christmas Season.... Gran'ma Got Runned Over By a Reindeer only comes across a distant second ;)

 

Corki.. lest you think me truly ignorant. The Gregorian Chant assertion was just a little exaggeration on my part.... I should have known your English Humour Handicap would have caused you to miss the sardonic wit contained within my comment 8)

[Kara_J]

Ave Maria for me  :D

[Loreina]

O Come All Ye Faithful!

 

 

My Methodist ears have never heard the David's City song either. But I bet my sister the Episcopalian has...they have closer ties with the Mother Church.  ;D

[twinflower]

Ave maria for this good little Traditional Lutheran as well! 

 

And while I agree it isn't really a carol per say..it is one of the most recognizable hymns of the Christmas Season..and since carols originally where hymns..that would make it a carol?  Hmm?

 

But it is close..My school choir tradition was a processional to Adeste Fideles!

[Corki]

O Come All Ye Faithful scraps through to the next round by 4 votes to 3 (I am including Daetirion's vote).

[Corki]

And the M-G's vote goes to Silent Night.

[Loreina]

:-\

 

Argh!  When we were kids  we lived for the "OOOOOOOOOOO, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright"! That "OOOOO" was the best!

*sighs* 

But, well, really, I mean, "Silent Night", man.  No "Silent Night" - no Christmas.  So it's gotta be [glow=gold,2,300][glow=red,2,300]"Silent Night". [/glow] [/glow] *nods*

[Kara_J]

I have to go for  "We Three Kings"..if only for the potential for silliness and all the "other versions" we could sing ;)

[Auld Manriva]

You mean like

 

We three kings of Orient are

Tryin to smoke this rubber cigar? ...

 

It gets my vote at any rate...

[Kara_J]

We three kings of Orient are

One in a taxi, one in a car,

one on a scooter, beeping his hooter.....

 

 

That kinda thing, yep :P

 

[Loreina]

:D  I'd forgotten that cigar bit!

[Auld Manriva]

I have a well known, well practiced propensity for forgotten information ;)

[twinflower]

*twaps and grins*

 

AND..for taking perfectly lovely carols and finding a perversion of them!  *giggles*

 

 

SILENT NIGHT!!!

[Daetirion]

Pre-emptive voting i know, but it should still count!

 

Oh and We 3 Kings

 

Silent night is too dire, especially in the original German.

[Corki]

Not another tie! I hope there is a winner by the time I get to work tomorrow morning...otherwise I pick the winner!  ;D

[Auld Manriva]

Great Caesars Ghost!! Not another Corki Choice!! I'll need bleedin' Therapy by the time this is over and done!

 

[demonspawn]

OK OK! We Three Kings

[Samuraiflip05]

Well I prefer a bit more uptempo version of it, but We three kings. 

[Corki]

Well, we do now have a winner. And you picked the opposite to what I would have picked if it was a tie!  :P We Three Kings of Orient Are wins 5-3.

 

Next tie is about to be posted.
