The Advent Jukebox, Day 18... Jingle Bell Rock

'Jingle Bell Rock' was first recorded by early rockabilly guy Bobby Helms. And while it immediately got airplay and the Dick Clark TeeVee treatment the tune was not immediately a hit.

In fact, it didn't go gold until five years later.

Of course it is now a classic that everyone has covered, including a version by Hall and Oates that trumpeted by an Anon-0-Mouse on the comment threads recently.

Here's me and E. doing the lullaby(ish) version..

And before the grammar nerds and/or my grade 3 teacher Mrs. Griffiths go bonkers, the E. and me reference, above, was entirely purposeful....OK?

Bonus reel...All 13 of the first half of the Jukebox together...Lullaby caroling!
