The Rebel Black Dot Christmas Song of the Day



Dean Martin, "White Christmas" from Christmas with Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, [&] Dean Martin (The Last Angry Man)

Comeetnary: The Greatest weakness of the collection Christmas with Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, [&] Dean Martin is that it has "White Christmas" as performed by Martin, not Crosby. No offense to Deano, but "White Christmas" is Bing's signature song. I'm all for others singing "White Christmas," as evinced by yesterday's R.B.D.S.O.T.D., but having the song sung by anybody other than Bing Crosby on a compilation album that includes Bing Crosby is nonsensical.
"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know…

"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white…"
