Christmas Music Three Tune Tuesday 🎄

There is going to be a theme within the theme here, and I think @silverd510 is going to want to crank the volume up on these tunes xD

The first one is one I'm sure you hear every year, even without trying, as it's in regular rotation anywhere Christmas music is being played. Give it a list while I talk about it...

Though I've heard this song a bunch I have never seen the above video!

McCartney recorded this song during the sessions for his solo album McCartney II. This song is truly a solo song as he plays all instruments and handles all vocals. The song was released as a single in November, 1979. The B-side of this single is an instrumental version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer called Rudolph the Red Nosed Reggae

"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" by John & Yoko/The Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir was released on December 1, 1971, exactly 31 days after I was born 😝.

At the time it was also a protest song about the Vietnam war, it has since become a Christmas standard and has been covered by numerous artists including, Neil Diamond, Diana Ross, and Celine Dion.

The third tune is not as popular, but it's a Ringo original.

Ringo is the only Beatle to release a whole Christmas Album, which was released in 1999. It has some standards as well as a few original Christmas songs.

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong" is a song by George Harrison, written as a New Year's Eve singalong and released in December 1974 on his album Dark Horse. For the first time with one of his singles, Harrison made a promotional video for "Ding Dong", which features scenes of him miming to the track at Friar Park while dressed in a variety of Beatle-themed costumes. This is the first time I've seen the video and I love it!
