 Topic: "The Christmas Song" - Christina AguileraPosted: 09 August 2009 at 9:38am |

I'm somewhat reluctant to bring up a Christmas song right now since it's only August. However, as I continue to alphabetically organize and analyze my CD library with a fine-toothed comb, I have a question about Christina Aguilera's "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)"...
I just recently picked up this song on a commercial CD single, which features the "Thunderpuss 2000 Holiday Remix" and has an actual run time of 4:00 (the printed time is 3:59). I bring this up because the lone database CD containing Aguilera's version of this song runs 4:24. I don't have that particular CD, so I'm trying to determine if there is a 45/LP version difference here. Anyone know? Edited by Todd Ireland |

My promo CD single also contains the 3:59 version. Did this song even appear on an LP when it was first released, or was it only a single?

Aaron:
The song appears on Christina Aguilera's My Kind of Christmas CD (RCA 69343), which according to the All Music Guide website was first released in 2000. The track listing also shows "The Christmas Song" appearing twice on this disc with printed run times of 4:25 and 4:03 (the latter track indicates "remix"), so this suggests to me the former must be the original version and the latter is the "Thunderpuss 2000 Holiday Remix" that was issued on commercial CD single.

Back in 1999, I received this song via the Top Hits U.S.A. service. My copy is listed as the 'Holiday Remix', so that must be the Thunderpuss Remix. |

The second version on the Christmas CD (last track) is indeed the Thunderpuss remix (short version--there's a longer 12" version).

I have the CD "My Kind Of Christmas." This CD is released by BMG Japan while the disc is U.S. pressing (RCA 07863 69343-2). This CD contains "Christmas Song (Holiday Remix)" also the music video as CD-ROM.

I never heard the slow version during the holidays in 1999-2000 only the version on the promo single which was the holiday remix. |
