I have no idea how many times S...Bear may be right. I have no idea how many times Silent Night, White Christmas or even Jingle Bells has been in a movie, although I doubt its as much as you might think. However, on tv, there's no telling how many times these songs were sung by someone or was even on in the background. As far as recording, they definitely have been recorded more than practically every other type of song. Who doesn't want to do a Christmas album. But, it's actually kind of hard to track this stuff down, and just getting the info I did took more time than I like to spend on these things. Wikipedia, EMI and IMdb or all good sights, but none of them are comprehensive. You have to fish about a lot to get an answer and you can't with every song. Wish there was a website you could just get it from, but apparently, there's not. If anyone knows of one, let us know.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038118012770250140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33957555.post-69461478200663656022007-12-11T10:41:00.000-08:002007-12-11T10:41:00.000-08:00Great topic.

Brubeck played the definitive version, he is identified with it, he owns it, but he did not write it. Goodman was such a great player, and he organized the greatest players to play with him, so he owns the song even though he didn't write it. No reason to feel sorry for Louis Prima though. On the other hand, Paul Desmond never became a star like Brubeck, or Prima, or Goodman. Also, most times songs appear in movies etc... You forgot Xmas songs. White Christmas, Silent Night, and some of the others no doubt eclipse S,S,S for usage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
