We’re going mid-century for today’s Advent piece. “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” was written by Johnny Marks (who gave us “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “A Holly Jolly Christmas”) and recorded by Brenda Lee in 1958—when she was 13 years old. That chick had one hell of a voice.
To be honest, there’s not a whole lot to this song, and I’m
not a huge fan of rockabilly in general, but it’s energetic and inoffensive.
Why I’m here with it today is because I stumbled across the Korean acapella group Maytree giving this performance, and I was frankly mesmerized. So here it is.
