"Carol of the Bells" by Everybody

Last week I thought I would try to do the Twelve Days of Christmas Music, but I started counting the Christmas songs that I really count as favorites and off the top of my head I couldn't think of twelve Christmas songs that really fit my criteria...   Well, here's a weird thing, I could do it if I counted all the different versions of "Carol of the Bells" that I love.

I don't know why this particular song appeals to me so much.  It is interesting how much variety you can get in one song.  (Which reminds me of a really fun CD I found in the Cut-Out Bin: "Stairways to Heaven" where artists did "Stairway to Heaven" in different styles.)  Anyway, I couldn't find any of the versions I was originally going to post, but I did find a bunch of fun ones.  You really must check out The Muppets one, I love the Muppets and I was really LOL at the end.

Update 21-December-2011: I found one of my favorite versions by David Benoit:
