You crazy kids!
That song, which has always been my favorite Christmas tune, is called "The Carol of the Bells."
Merry Merry.
That's interesting -- both "Ring, Christmas Bells" and "The Carol of the Bells" give strong Google: 10,000 and 14,000 respectively. Maybe it has two names?

tlb--you mean, you KAZOO kids!!! Gillymonster and I love it!
That other bells song is my favorite carol - it's so menacing. Yet catchy!
Thanks for the CD - I laughed through the whole thing! Kazoos = inherently funny.
You liberals and your war on Christmas. Is there no low to which you will not stoop to mock this blessed pagan holiday?
This is the greatest thing since someone thought of putting together Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz. It cries out for a video.
A very Happy Holiday to both of you, and many thanks for the wonderful Festivus soundtrack.
I have bad news: there is someone who very much disliked the Kazoo Christmas. That individual was Mark. My camera, unfortunately, was broken; otherwise, I could have snapped a shot of the young gentleman with his ears pricked suspiciously in the direction of the computer, mouth poised to bark. Lest the SPCA or PETA come after me, I turned off the music.
Of course, Mark is also afraid of Jimmy de Amore. Bock bock!
SER, When we first played the kazoos, The Real Grendel freaked out, but gradually, grudgingly came to accept them over the course of ten minutes. Then we stopped and went upstairs to watch a movie. Secretly, I brought a kazoo with me. Halfway into the film, with him dozing on the futon beside me, I pulled it out and hummed one note. He did something then he'd never done before: without lifting his head, he WHAMMED his tail down ONCE, angrily, loudly, on the futon. Rough translation: "God-DAMMIT!"
Hilarious. I love how, at the end of Merry Gentlemen, TdB goes, "I don't want to do that one again." Not getting paid overtime, Traca?
