I'm sad nobody seems to bother playing my favourite song from the Christmas album: "Christmas Day" but I am pleased "Merry Christmas Baby" gets some love. I have heard the ubiquitous "Little Saint Nick" and "Frosty The Snowman" at the local supermarket before, of course.

I hear "your imagination" more than any other beach boys related songs when I'm at a store,or a taco bell or one of those places that play generic music in the backgorund,other than christmas where I hear "little saint nick"
Heard it when I worked at a grocery store a few years back. I'd never heard it before, actually, and was really surprised to hear what sounded like a recent Brian solo track.

That whole album is a bit underrated imo...

I've heard Christmas Day a couple of times...one of them I distinctly remember was walking down the strip in Las Vegas. This thread reminded me that I once heard "This Whole World" at K-Mart near closing time...I had been very ready to go after a long day of errands, but I extended my stay by a couple of minutes. One of many obscure songs I've heard in different places...we have had threads about those before, but I think that this is the first time that I remembered to write about "This Whole World".

I was just in Toronto for a quick birthday trip. I needed a few things from a drug store, so I went to the Shoppers Drug Mart that was next to my hotel. What did I hear when I walked into the store? "Child of Winter"!!!!! I have never, ever heard that song in public before.

Doesn't Mr. Johnston have major, er connections to nation-wide drug store chains?

I`ve heard Blue Christmas and the MIU Xmas version of Peggy Sue in my local supermarket in years past.

Oh man, I couldn't imagine someone walking into a store and hearing those 70s Christmas songs.

That's still better than hearing "Melikilikilaka (sp?), that's Merry Christmas in Hawaii talk-a".

I disagree. From someone not familiar with the music, hearing "Melekalikimaka, that's Merry Christmas in Hawaii talk-a" is just a lame line in a song. But Brian in the spoken part in Child of Winter just sounds completely insane.

I've heard both in public places, and both seemed to be thoroughly ignored by the people around me shopping! haha
For years, me and a friend would use that same "pied piper"-like voice at random times, it was hilarious! Almost daily!

I wish there was a version of Child of Winter without the spoken lines. Might make it listenable.

It sort of blew my mind to hear Brian do the Pied Piper voice in "Little St. Nick's Drive-In" or whatever neologism we're calling it.

I figured that voice was more likely connected to a little old lady from Pasadena vibe.

I heard "Christmas Day" just yesterday at a local grocery store! Heard "Frosty" on the radio here as well, so that one's making the rounds.

Eventually, Rite-Aid added "Christmas Time Is Here Again" to the rotation as well.
Other Beach Boys-related tracks I've heard there include "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" (Brian), "Wind Chimes" (BWPS version), "Little Saint Nick", and at least one other track from Brian's Christmas CD.
On the other hand, whoever compiles the playlists is OBSESSED with the Bee Gees - I've heard tracks from their entire career (up to "This Is Where I Came In"), relatively obscure Andy Gibb material, songs Barry wrote for others (including at least three tracks from Kenny Rogers' "Eyes That See In The Dark" album)...

Yes, I also heard something from Brian's XMas album this year in a Rite-Aid, don't remember which one, but it wasn't "We Wish You A Merry Christmas."
