Perfect Candidates Week Six

I managed to cut a whopping 10 tracks out the master Perfect Candidates List! Pathetic, I know. Today's unlucky tracks - now headed to other themed mixes - fall into two categories. Pop songs that I felt wouldn't meld well with the other songs that are shaping up to be around for the long haul and a couple of duplicates.

Christmas Is The Time To Say 'I Love You' - Billy Squier
Early Christmas Morning - Cyndi Lauper
Jingle Bells - The Organ Orchestra
Last Christmas - Pas/Cal

Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys
Merry X-Mas Everybody - Slade
One Little Christmas Tree - Stevie Wonder
Step Into Christmas - Elton John
The Little Drummer Boy - The Longines Symphonette Society
The Man with the Bag - Vonda Shepard


Now, here are the latest additions...

Perfect Candidates Week Six :

  1. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Darlene Love
  2. Christmas Chopsticks--Bobby Vinton
  3. Gee Whiz, It's Christmas - Carla Thomas
  4. Happy Sleigh Ride - Ferrante And Teicher
  5. Here We Come A-Caroling - Ray Conniff Singers
  6. I Don't Intend To Spend Christmas Without You - Margo Guryan
  7. Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms
  8. Jingle Bells - Glenn Miller and His Orch.
  9. Jingle Bells - Johnny Cole
  10. Kay Thompson's Jingle Bells - Andy Williams
  11. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! - Andre Kostelanetz
  12. Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow - Dean Martin
  13. Midnight Sleighride - Sauter-Finegan Orch.
  14. Mistletoe & Holly - Jack Jones
  15. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee
  16. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town - Ralph Hunter Choir
  17. Sleigh Bells - Al Cailoa & Riz Ortolani
  18. The Merriest - June Christy
  19. Vive le vent - Ginette Reno
That's right - after agonizing over the list and culling 10 tracks I added another 19 - including 2 more versions of both Jingle Bells and Let it Snow! I am my own worst enemy.

Back in a couple/few with more candidates, hopefully another list of cuts and a new poll.
