Song of the Week - Week Two - Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

Hey Everyone!

So I have decided to try the weekly plan out again so this will be the second Song of the Week that I am doing and since Christmas is coming up and it's the Holidays season, I decided that the song would be a Christmas (Holiday) song. Drum roll please. 

The song that I am doing is Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by 90s/early 2000s (were active 1995-2002 but made a few appearances together afterwards and had a brief reunion in 2013) boy band, *Nsync. The song is their hit single off of their second overall studio album which was their Christmas album, Home for Christmas (go buy it. You won't regret it!) 

Members:                          

Justin Timberlake
JC Chasez
Lance Bass
Joey Fatone
Chris Kirkpatrick

The reason why I chose this song to do is because I believe that it's a song that works for everyone (those who celebrate Christmas and those who celebrate other Holidays). I also feel that it's an underrated song compared to those that are played on the radio more often and thought it was necessary to do a post for it. 

Now, the actual song and lyrics are great but the music video that goes along with the song is probably one of my favorite parts of the whole package. It brings joy, happiness, family and friends, togetherness, and much more which is what the season and different holidays are supposed to do. 

Background of the music video: It opens up with Santa getting sick and Gary Coleman (Rest in Peace) is Santa's helper suggests that Nsync fills in for Santa and they show up asking "Whatchu Talkin' about, Gary?" and then agree to deliver the presents. 

Watch the video now:

What I love most about this video is that you can truly see the enjoyment in the guys while filming this, especially the parts with the kids. It's one of those if you're down, take a listen and you'll pick right back up type of song. AND you can listen to this song at anytime of the year which there are times where I do as well. 

Christmas time is supposed to be joyous, excitement, and spend time with families which is what this song speaks highly of. I highly recommend sharing the video, as well as requesting your radio stations to play it. I also recommend, if you haven't already, buy the whole Home for Christmas album because the whole thing is amazing, yes even the covers (but it is mostly of originals). 

Well, I always look forward to the season, especially December because that's exactly when I start listening to my Christmas music (Nsync first, of course) but again, if it shuffles during the year, I have NO PROBLEM listening to it. 

Let me know what you think of this song of the week and if you agree (or have any other suggestions for any of the future songs of the week). 

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Until Next Time
