It's hard to tell whether I love this song because of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York or because it's just such a good New York Christmas song. Nevertheless, both are valid reasons.
You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch
Not really an uplifting Christmas song, but still one of my favourites. The line "You're a rotter" always makes me laugh - just the way he sings it. Love this song. I remember hearing this song when I was a kid and imagined myself as an adult breaking up with someone by playing this song for them and then walking out. Still want to make that happen someday, would be so funny.
Instant Crush
Can't stop listening to this song.
James Brown's - Please Come Home For Christmas
This is (by far) my favourite Christmas song. God, I love it.
Song of the Moment
Can't even tell you how much this gets played when I'm on a treadmill at the gym.
Turn Your Lights Down Low
Can't tell you how many times I think about the lyric, "Loving you is like a song I replay every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day." I don't know why - it's not terribly great or anything - but every time I hear it, ugh, I just love it.
Monster Mash
I can't even tell you how much this gets played on my iPod every October. CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU. Also, it always reminds me of that great Simpsons Valentine's episode.
Stay - Rihanna
Totally realize I'm at least a year late on this (maybe even more), but wow. What a good song. I feel like she's really channelling her inner Adele here.
Roar - Katy Perry
Not even a proper Katy Perry fan but I cannot stop listening to this song. LOVE.
Song of the Moment
Can't tell you how much I've been playing this song on repeat lately. So damn catchy.
