Vince Vance & The Valiants - All I Want for Christmas Is You

Good Thursday Morning my RP Brothers and Sisters!

Well, Thursday is my day to work my IT job and it really started of with a failure with my auto garage door opener... which let go... I did get it open to back my car out, and closed the door manually, but then my wife could not get her car out sense the door would not be able to be opened... I fiddled with it a bit, but then a cable let go so the door is now cockeyed in the door tracks.... Some days it doesn't pay to get up...LOL!!! The Door company can't be here until Saturday morning (?), so this is going to be a real pain where I don't need one!!!! Oh Well!!!

For this Thursday morning, I selected a Christmas video by Vince Vance & the Valiants titled "All I Want for Christmas Is You". I believe you will all like this as soon as you see it... Full Screen please!

Background:
"Vince Vance & the Valiants are a country pop, rock and roll and novelty musical group from New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. The title character Vince Vance is portrayed by Andy Stone, the only permanent member of the group. He was born Andrew John Franichevich Jr. The remainder of the Valiants (or, if female, Valiantettes) are rotating musicians.

The group's most sustained hit record, and one that is uncharacteristic of their usual stylings, is the country ballad "All I Want for Christmas Is You", which charted on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts on six separate occasions in the 1990s. As a novelty band, their best-known record was their 1980 version of the schoolyard parody "Bomb Iran", which narrowly missed the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981.

On November 20, 2010, Vince Vance was surprised during his performance at a "Louisiana Legends" fundraiser at New Orleans Rock'n Bowl venue, with induction into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame for his outstanding career, including the Christmas icon "All I Want for Christmas is You" and his most current "I Am New Orleans".

LYRICS:

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" By Vince Vance & the Valiants

Take back the holly and mistletoe
Silver bells on strings
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing

I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
Don't want a Christmas that's blue
Take back the tinsel, stockings, and bows
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
All that I want, it can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel atop my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
All that I want, it can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel atop my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
