Question- CHRISTMAS Song?
I heard a Christmas song by Gordon Lightfoot this week. I don't know the name of it, but would love to have it.. Does anyone know of this song?

|
The only ones I can think of would be "Song for a Winter's Night" or "Circle of Steel".
|
No, it's neither of those.. Thank you for replying..
|
well, i stand to join Gord in a VHS tape toast (non-alcoholic, of course) as he sings Auld Land Syne (how do you spell that?) every New Year's...but i don't suppose that's what you're referring to, eh?
could it be something off of this compilation? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/glclaus.jpg [This message has been edited by jj (edited December 09, 2004).] |
a little time on your hands JJ?
It would have been nice to hear SFAWN on the weekend.....instead of The Wreck..... |
JJ-Too cute! It never fails to amaze me what clever, talented, devoted folks we have on this site. Nice job. Thanks for a laugh!

JJ you are TOOOOO funny! I have been laughing until tears are coming out of my eyes!! My kids are laughing, too!! And, since we're Jewish, we LOVE the "Spin, Spin" idea for the Dreidel song!! Sorry, brains are not awake enough yet to think of any more at the moment! We've been having a relaxing Saturday morning lolling around and, of course, I'm in here!!

Great album jj but you should have used a bearded Gord to drive the ladies nuts!
|
he knows us too well!!
|
Good one! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif
How about... "I'm Not Sayin' What I Got You For Christmas" and "Looking At The Snow" Sorry, jan6906. I can't think of any GL Christmas songs either. |
I saved that picture to email to my brother. That's hilarious.

Does Your Mother Know (You got a Christmas tree?) Affair on 8th Night For Passover : The Matzohs and Mary Ann (Four Cups of )Blackberry Wine Bitter Herbs Brisket City For Sukkot : The Sukkah is Small and For Yom Kippur : Forgive me L-rd [This message has been edited by Sundreme (edited December 05, 2004).] |
JJ, I recall once making up song titles in the unlikely event that Gord should decide to turn to rap. There were a few of us involved with renaming his songs. It was hilarious! So, why don't you turn him into a rapper, and we'll see what we can come up with.

<cough, cough, grabbing inhaler> That was great, Erica! O.K., now I really am a funny person, so I should try to come up with something instead of sitting back and being entertained. Give me some time...

Now that I have posted all these pics from the Jewish section, will someone let me know what I posted? I sure don't want to offend anyone here.

No offense taken. Great pics. O.K., I've spent about 1/2 an hour coming up with Jewish-themed Gord-related song titles. Hope you like 'em:
14 Karat Golda (The Jewish Princess) A Lesson in Kabballistic Love A Rock-Hard Matzoh Ball Passing Through(Oy!) Affaire on My Visa Card All I'm After is a Nice Jewish Doctor All the Lovely Shiksas (not a bad word!!) I Used to Be a Yiddische Singer I'd Do Anything for Love(Another Headache?) Drink Yer Glasses Empty (3 More to Go - It's Passover!) Blackberry Whine ("It's Not Manischewitz!") Mama Said, "It's Cold on the Shoulder -- Put on a Sweater" I'll Be Alright Once I've Had my Sanka Magnificent Outpouring (Annual High Holyday pledge drive) My 1972 Dodge Dart Won't Go Race Among the Sale Racks at Macy's Remember Me? I'm the One Who Put You Through Dentistry School! Shellfish -- Not in MY kosher home!! Sit Down Young Stranger (and wipe your feet) Stay Loose (Take your Ex-Lax, Moishe) Thank You for the Promises (Now What About That Trip to Palm Springs?) The Way I Feel -- OY! Don't Ask! Too Much to Lose -- I'm on Weight Watchers Again You'll Still be Needing Me,Mama said, Never Mind You're Married! O.K., how was that??

[This message has been edited by Sheryl Klein (edited December 05, 2004).] Very Good Sheryl...And I guess Great minds think alike because I also thought Shellfish would make a good one, but couldnt think of how to include it with the holiday theme. Since we're doing general Jewish themed Gord songs, I'll add a few more in a little while Erica |
I Used to Be a Yiddische Singer
That's funny! |

You posted from left, starting at the top: A Jewish man, rabbi perhaps, admiring his menorah screen saver, next is a spinning Star of David. The Honk if you Love Hannuka Sign is pretty self explainatory I think. Though then again, you probably already know what a Star of David is too. Next, A boy dancing while dressed up like a dreidal. Then a rabbi blowing a shofar, which is a ram's horn blown on the High Holidays. Lastly, a dancing Torah Scroll. Erica [This message has been edited by Sundreme (edited December 05, 2004).] |
Here for your reading pleasure are some of the General Jewish themed Gord songs I promised.
Dream Street Rosenberg Home From The Mikva Cold Tongue on Rye From a New York Deli Drink Yer Glasses Empty (or at least till you can no longer tell the difference between Mordachai and Haman) Keep on Kvetching Long Thin Dawn (Eat something, You're Wasting Away!) On the Parted High Seas The Zionist's Dream Redwood Hillel Saturday Clothes (You're Wearing that to Temple?!) Oy Linda Somewhere Tel-Aviv A Minor Festival Me and Bubbie McGee I think that's all for Tonight! Erica [This message has been edited by Sundreme (edited December 05, 2004).] |
loved it, Erica! I, too, thought of the one about Saturday Clothes, but, couldn't figure out how to put it in. Good job!
(If anyone wants/needs any interpretations, just ask!) [This message has been edited by Sheryl Klein (edited December 05, 2004).] |
Erk,
Bravissimo! My personal favorites were "Does Your Mother Know (You Got a Christmas Tree)" and "Dream street Rosenberg." Rebecca Sophia |

So, why don't you turn him into a rapper, and we'll see what we can come up with. cool, but maybe i'll have to email the pic edit for that (i'll try later to-day/nite), i'm just not sure where the line is as far as crossing it goes (or is it already too late? lol) i was gonna play off the Eminem rapper idea but i understand Gord did some angry rapping during his hospital stay...how about Enima? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif say, i had a hard, hard time refinding this thread, the subject is pretty vague, lol now, i actually started a Gordon Lightstein holiday CD cover but got interupted and think it's TOO weird to post...he's even got those curly sideburns and wearing the little hat (what's that called? i wore one once at an event but my head was way too big for it to stay on in the wind) you guys have done GREAT, wow, i love these ones best...i just love the ring to them http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Oy Linda Brisket City The Sukkah is Small and John, Bitterly Cold on the Shoulder/Green is double the fun! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif btw, that Gord Santa pic is not real, just in case it wasn't obvious....i think the CD background and Santa i used was from a Charlie Daniels cover...so then sorry Charlie, sorry Gord...well kinda, lol http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif ps) lovely snow covered everything today, but maybe the drivers aint SO lovely, off to find out >>>> [This message has been edited by jj (edited December 06, 2004).] |
Well JJ, if it's a hard topic to find, you don't have to worry about getting caught.
Hey, I have an idea. Post it under the name DMD3! Somehow, I think Gord would get a kick out of it. If not, the most we have to worry about is that he calls and sasses us. He'll say, "Hello, this is Gordon Lightfoot." We'll reply, "Gordon who? Sorry. I've never heard of you. Oh wait. Aren't you the rap star who uses Enima for a stage name?" Hey, when in trouble, play dumb. DMD3.5 http://www.notreallydmd3.com [This message has been edited by Cathy (edited December 06, 2004).] |
Cathy, you are too funny! Yeah, just what wouldn't we say to him if he called? Brink? Got any ideas???!!!
