First, oh, my god, THANK YOU to everyone who's given me a snowflake cookie! My Userpage looks so pretty with all those yummy cookies on there :) *hugs friends tight*

I love 'The Little Drummer Boy'. I love the lyrics, I love the message, I love the song, period. When the Christmas season rolled around every year, and the holiday shows were aired, the original claymation version of The Little Drummer Boy was my absolute favorite of all the shows.

Of all the song versions I've heard over the years, though, the one I love the most is Bob Seger's version, originally done for the first volume of A Very Special Christmas.

Here's a clip of Bob talking about how he ended up doing that particular song:

And here's the original, animated clip:

Bagpipes, which shouldn't work...but does.

Thank you too!

And thanks for the links - this is one of my favourite carols - and I can remember watching the animation as a child. I always thought it was very sad - but very beautiful too.

Wow, it is nearly Christmas, isn't it?
