The 14th track on His ND Xmas is "Christmas on TV" by Chris Isaak, from his 2004 Christmas album.I thought the best way to follow a Merle Haggard song, both stylistically and alphabetically, was with a George Jones song, and had George's "I Want A New Baby For Christmas" in this #14 position, but this Isaak song supplanted it. Mainly because my mp3 of "I Want a New Baby" was 128kbps and not the greatest quality, sounding like it was ripped from a well-played 45.
"Christmas on TV" made a good substitution though. It's about the same length as "I Want A New Baby For Christmas" and sounds like something George Jones would have cut back in his heyday.
I'm watching Christmas on TV
And wishing you were here with me
Merry Christmas from one million miles away
Jimmy Stewart, he's with his friends
The bells are ringing, it's near the end
Merry Christmas from one million miles away
Strangely, I can't find a youtube of "Christmas on TV", so here's "I Want a New Baby For Christmas" by George Jones.
