That's right! We've been celebrating the Christmas Holidays with 'The Beach Boys Christmas Album' on our turntables, tape decks, and CD players for 60 years now. To mark this momentous occasion, I decided that I should make a new video for one of the album's wonderful original songs 'Merry Christmas, Baby'. I made a few additions and changes to the mix, so I hope you'll check out the video as the Holiday Season gets rolling, and let me know what you thought.  Happy Holidays, all!

Wonderful!

I love that song. Imo it could've been a real classic if the chorus just wasn't so... "unfinished".

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

I don't normally do it for my videos, to make a change like this, but for the part of the chorus without any vocals, I added a glockenspiel melody line to make it feel more complete. I also added the hand claps that were used just in the beginning of the record throughout the entire track. Sacrilege, I know, to change the work of the master, but I really like the result of what I did.
