The Newly Holidayized Hits of the 1980s

 

Having foolishly skipped over the 1980s in last year's transmogrification of hit songs into holiday songs, our editors have gathered here today to oversee the fixing of that grievous oversight.

I Love a Snowy Night  -  Eddie Rabbitt's winter update to his Number One hit

The Sleigh Is High  -  ♫♪ The sleigh is high so I'm holding on ♪♫

High Fructose and Red Dye 3  -  Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder remake "Ebony & Ivory" for the Christmas candy season

All Night Long (Santa's Ride)  -  ♫♪ Ho ho, my friends, the time has come to land on the roof and hand out fun ♪♫

Born of a Virgin  -  Madonna sings about her namesake

Toybusters  -  ♫♪ When the gift you got...just plain don't work...who ya gonna blame? Toybusters! ♪♫

Greatest Ghost of All  -  Whitney Houston had a huge hit with the theme song to A Christmas Carol

The Sleigh You Make Me Feel  -  ♫♪ The sleigh you make me feel. The gift I'm forced to give. The knockoff bargain bin...♪♫

Walk Like an Egyptian  -  Few people realize this Bangles hit is about the holy family's post-Bethlehem escape

Don't Worry, Be Jolly  -  ♫♪ Here's a little song I wrote to help Santa not slice his throat" Don't worry. Be Jolly. ♪♫
