Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Christmas wouldn't be the same without Brenda Lee's timeless, tinsel-topped country-meets-rockabilly treat, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." Written by "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas" songwriter Johnny Marks, and recorded by US hitmaker Brenda Lee in 1958, this tune unwraps a jolly scene of gingerbread cookies and festive fun, encapsulated by the first two verses: "Rockin' around the Christmas tree / At the Christmas party hop / Mistletoe hung where you can see / Every couple tries to stop," and "Rockin' around the Christmas tree / Let the Christmas spirit ring / Later we'll have some pumpkin pie / And we'll do some caroling." Ripe for rework,"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" – which didn't enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart until Christmas 1960, where it went to Number 14 – has unsurprisingly been covered by numerous artists over the years, from Bill Haley & His Comets in 1968 to Meghan Trainor in 2021.
