25 Days of Holiday Music: Day 17

Posted: December 17, 2009

I found this years ago and it’s become one of my favorite holiday tunes. I originally found this traditional Spanish carol performed by, wait for it, the Monkees. You laugh, but watch this clip, it’s really good. The song is called “Riu Riu Chiu.”

Here’s a more classical interpretation of the song:

If you watch some other versions, you’ll find some are good, some are bad, such as this one by American Idol-ite David Archuleta.

    Hi All,
    I have been thoroughly enjoying your 25 days of Christmas songs. Since I will probably be too busy to post later this week, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUELu8o5KJg
    I thought I would share one of our family favorites. (especially my Dad’s)
    Many blessings to you all for the New Year!
