CANADA: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas – Michael Bublé…
In some senses, the most traditional offering we could be giving you during our World Music Advent Calendar is this extraordinary rendition of the classic Christmas song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. First made famous by Judy Garland and then Frank Sinatra, the track is the epitome of modern Christmas in the Western world. Bublé’s glib, flashy, showman’s charm can be heard on this track as he soulfully guides his listeners to a state of relaxation, smoothly crooning the soft melody into ones ear. In much of the Anglophone world Michael Bublé is probably the standout household name when it comes to the festive season as his tremendous back catalogue of Christmas anthems can be heard on shop floors months in advance of Christmas, all the way until the special day itself.
