Quote:The Christmas song (chesnuts roasting...)rock, when I last heard you sing this song it sounded more like:"that open fire is roasting my chestnuts"But I do prefer Mel's version, a beautiful song.

If anybody can help I would be very grateful and award a special johnny Karma.

Nope. Keep trying. Out of the top ten all time money making songs, three of them were Christmas songs.

Ern, good tries. We know for sure WC is on the list. I think Rudolph may be too, depending on exactly what is meant.But if I think out of the box--those public domain songs must have generated millions upon millions of dollars, just not for a songwriter. My guess:White ChristmasJingle BellsSilent Night
