European Christmas songs?
European Christmas songs?
Hi Europe. Since it's getting close to Christmas, let's get into the Christmas spirit with some music.
Give me a Christmas song from your country, the cheesier the better, preferably in your native language.
Here's one from Sweden, played every year.
Content warning Weihnachtsbäckerei, German speakers beware
I didn't even check the video to see if it's a decent version but I cannot risk having this monster be stuck in my ear for the next 5 months. Even thinking about it is going to haunt me for a week.
I also just learnt that everybody and their grandma has done versions. Good lord.
I fucking hate you. Now its Stück in my head too. I even managed to avoid literally all Christmas music so far and now you come with this.
löl
I prefer this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jn8i4jCubE

Gunther - Christmas Song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j2v9G36G5hQ
Hej, du har glömt "Jul igen". Men "tänd ett ljus" är den vackaste julsången som jag känner.
The Støvle Dance is from an old Danish Christmas show. My daughter just got super into it. https://youtu.be/Lhka0pjBzAQ?si=1PC_Yd00lU_x3zWk it is a mix of Danish and English.
Det jul det cool is an even older rap Christmas song about the commercialization of Christmas. They didn't expect it to get any kind of traction so they just sampled some music without caring about the rights. It has been included in all Danish Christmas music collections since the 80ies. They don't collect royalties, the band they sampled from do. https://youtu.be/FuyKWtF5aqU?si=C2wkvpaKIkvnoV2V
I don't remember the name of any specific song but my father used to play a christmas CD by dutch Herman van Veen.
here is a song in esperanto, because the best christmas song is the one sang on a language that mix all european languages:
The cheesier the better you say? Sarah Connor - Christmas In My Heart [ 🇩🇪 ]
No Norwegians around to contribute this gem?
Ill just leave this here: Steklovata - Novi God
Not from the og country as the singers, but we always play it on xmas.
Your link is missing a label.
Fixed!
In Greece, this song by Vandi is called "Christmas" and it is the equivalent of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You"(ie overplayed). It is a bit kitsch but the middle part is kinda catchy.

And of course we have "Last Christmas" by Wham, which is english(kinda greek too i guess)
German: Was hat wohl der Esel gedacht
Essentially the Christmas story from the perspective of a donkey that's confused and infuriated, because there's a baby in the crib. We used to sing this in school every Christmas season
