During the Christmas of 1985 I walked into an electronics store. This was playing on one of their stereos. I stuck my head between the speakers and inhaled the whole song. It sounded fantastic!
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Philadelphia Freedom"and "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" !!!! Don't let the title scare you off on the second one, starts off slow, then its a banger!
I've been suggesting Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding forever. I'm about to throw in the towel. I do hope that one day they will react to it before my own funeral is here. Lol
Thanks Jay & Amber This is the 50th anniversary of the song being released. Always a fun song to listen to. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you both and your family. 🎄⛄🧑🎄❄️☃️❤️
I love this song!!! I can't help but smile when I hear it!! I think you would enjoy seeing when Elton was on the Muppets!!! It was great and his outfit was out of this world!
EXCELLENT CHOICE! I always look forward to playing this song every year on our Christmas music playlist! I am so happy you enjoyed this song too! Upbeat and fun to listen to. I enjoyed your reaction! I love the chorus: Step into Christmas Let's join together We can watch the snow fall forever and ever Eat, drink and be merry Come along with me Step into Christmas The admission's free
Great Elton John song! One of the few contemporary Christmas songs I like; there are some others. One I'd love to hear you guys react to is John Lennon's "Happy Xmas" which has a much deeper meaning this year with everything going on in the Middle East and Ukraine. Deep deep lyrics! Merry Christmas!
Thank you guys!!!! One of my favorite Christmas songs of all time!! My favorite is PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS BY THE EAGLES. MAYBE NEXT YEAR PLEASE?!
The guy 'playing' the bells was lyricist Bernie Taupin. The drummer and bassist, Nigel Olsson and Dee Murray, were the guys from the 'Little Jeanie' video you guys did. And the blonde guitarist was Davey Johnstone.
Such a fun Christmas song. It was one EJ's earliest recordings. Another great original Xmas song is "I Believe In Father Christmas" from Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake & Palmer & "home On Christmas Day" by Cyndi Lauper. Merry Christmas everyone!🎄
Hi Amber - as to your comments about seeing Elton John's shoes... There is an attraction in Toronto (Ontario, Canada) - called the Bata Shoe Museum. A friend of mine wanted to visit it as she loves shoes when she came to see me in Toronto. I found it more fascinating then I thought I would. They had some extremely old historical shoes from early, early peoples. They had shoes from different cultures & they had pairs of shoes from famous people too. It was quite a while ago but I believe that they had shoes there on display from both Cher & Elton John, among others - KISS maybe? It don't know if those were on loan or permanent exhibits but it actually was a really great place.
Thank you for this one! My son and I used to crank the radio in the car and sing along at the top of our lungs when he was little. He is 29 now and loves Christmas music as much as I do. He always texts me when our local radio station starts playing Christmas music 24/7. Sweet, sweet memories.
Here in the UK, I start Christmas morning with a music chanel (tv) on, with all the Christmas hits playing, and it stays on playing in the background all through Xmas dinner until the Kings Christmas speech.
Please do Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding asap! You will love it. It's from the same recording session (Yellow Brick Road), and it's one of his best songs ever!
Elton John was known for his wild glasses back in the day too. And he wrote circle of life from the lion King movie. You can react to a video of him performing that one.
There was a reason he was called “the Liberace of rock “ . And he is English, so I think it’s a law ,that if you are English you have to do a Christmas song
One of my favorite Christmas songs !!! A Christmas song you ABSOLUTELY have to react to is: Christmas must be tonight by The Band. It's such a beautiful song !!!
Merry Christmas Jay and Amber 🎄🎁🌲 One of my all time favorite Christmas songs is 1977's "Little Drummer Boy" sung by music icons Bing Crosby and David Bowie. This is the last performance from Bing Crosby before his death.
Merry Christmas Rob Squad! This song was first released in the mid 1970s. Funny, but I never heard it til the mid 2010s. It's a great song! It should have been a hit in nthe US in the mid 1970s! Thanks for reacting to this song!
I have to say this is one Christmas song I have never heard. Totally love it! Thanks for bringing me a new song to celebrate the season! Sending love from sunny SoCal!❤
Merry Christmas to all of you ❤🎅🎄There is a Christmas song just recently discovered while shopping with some friends. It was playing on the store's music channel. It was a Christmas song by Queen called Thank God It's Christmas. It's a nice song. Classic Queen. I can't believe I hadn't heard it until that time
THE Christmas party anthem! Just positive, upbeat and energetic! Great choice, and I hope you and your family have a blessed Merry Christmas! Thank you for making us smile throughout the year!
One of the best Christmas songs! I hope you get around to checking out Bruce Springsteen this season - "Santa Claus Is Comin To Town" and/or "Merry Christmas Baby." Merry Christmas to you and your family!
@@BuddyBoy68 I’ve been trying to get them to react to Nod and the Boyz for roughly a year…and many times being first to comment but still nothing doing. Mainly Cum on feel the Noize or Far far away but suggested MXE with it being that time of year
Merry Christmas to you and your children. Thank you for another year of great reactions. You two are the only ones I watch.. I adore you both. ❤ God Bless...
Believe this was 1974 - I loved it when I first heard it - so different from all the traditional uh...yep...that we are forced to swallow every year from October LOL the reason I love Boxing Day is all that stops in stores. Hope you had a great Christmas. Thank you so much for the time you put into uploading these videos for us to enjoy. I love your reactions so much. Oh and I also am a huge fan of Elton John - been buying his records since 1972's Don't Shoot Me - saw him 4 times in concert and he was absolutely amazing.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas filled with love, laughter and joy. Thankful for you and this channel!❤️ sending love from sunny SoCal! 🌴☃️🌴
Oh yeah. As far as Christmas songs by pop icons, this is right up there with Paul McCartney's 'Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime'. Great feel-good song!
guys I'm wishing you a very special Christmas 🌲 well AMBER I know you love your guy BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN... his son MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY os one of my favorites!
You know its a funny story of how i came across this song, especially with you 2 being from Oklahoma. So id listened to Elton my whole life(im only 32) and had never heard this song. Im fresh in my 20's and working at an IGA in Norman Oklahoma and this song comes on the radio every day of December. This song is a banger in December or july still imo lol
GREAT CHRISTMAS SONGS THESE I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS GREG LAKE. WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME PAUL McCARTNEY. LAST CHRISTMAS WHAM ALL SUPERB !!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU BOTH FROM BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND 🎉🍾👍 GREAT ALWAYS YOU TWO ENJOYMENT TO THE MAX 😀🎸🎤🇺🇸
Like to wish you both and your family a very Merry 8:42 Christmas and very Happy New Year! Thankyou for playing my favourite Christmas song, look forward to watching more in 2024 😊🎅🎄👍
The most underrated Christmas song.
My fav by far
100% underrated
The bass playing steals the show on this one. Dee Murray was incredible!
It’s not exactly a traditional Christmas song, but Dan Fogelberg’s “Same Old Lang Syne” is utterly beautiful.
My favourite Auld Lang Syne is by Mairi Campbell and it’s sung in traditional Scots 🙂
Beautiful and heart-breaking!
I love that song...still hits pretty hard after all these years.
Being English like Elton is, you cannot escape this song every Christmas, which is no bad thing 😊
OMG! I've loved this song snince he released it in October 1973!
No matter how many times I hear this I am still in awe of Dee Murray's bass line.
One of my favourite Christmas songs. You should listen to Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas
During the Christmas of 1985 I walked into an electronics store. This was playing on one of their stereos. I stuck my head between the speakers and inhaled the whole song. It sounded fantastic!
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Philadelphia Freedom"and "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" !!!!
Don't let the title scare you off on the second one, starts off slow, then its a banger!
Yes, these two please
Yes Philadelphia Freedom is one of his best songs
I approve this! 😊
I've been suggesting Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding forever. I'm about to throw in the towel. I do hope that one day they will react to it before my own funeral is here. Lol
One of the greatest song writing duos of all time...Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
Thanks Jay & Amber
This is the 50th anniversary of the song being released.
Always a fun song to listen to.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you both and your family.
🎄⛄🧑🎄❄️☃️❤️
Merry Christmas from England 🎄🥳
I'd forgotten, rare glimpse of Bernie Taupin towards the end!
I love this song!!! I can't help but smile when I hear it!! I think you would enjoy seeing when Elton was on the Muppets!!! It was great and his outfit was out of this world!
EXCELLENT CHOICE! I always look forward to playing this song every year on our Christmas music playlist! I am so happy you enjoyed this song too! Upbeat and fun to listen to. I enjoyed your reaction!
I love the chorus:
Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free
Elton John was so young in this video, ya gotta love him!👍💚💚🎄🎄♥️♥️
Great Elton John song! One of the few contemporary Christmas songs I like; there are some others. One I'd love to hear you guys react to is John Lennon's "Happy Xmas" which has a much deeper meaning this year with everything going on in the Middle East and Ukraine. Deep deep lyrics! Merry Christmas!
Thank you guys!!!! One of my favorite Christmas songs of all time!!
My favorite is PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS BY THE EAGLES.
MAYBE NEXT YEAR PLEASE?!
British Christmas songs are great. Often very fun and rocking
The guy 'playing' the bells was lyricist Bernie Taupin. The drummer and bassist, Nigel Olsson and Dee Murray, were the guys from the 'Little Jeanie' video you guys did. And the blonde guitarist was Davey Johnstone.
Oh boy, you certainly do hear this in stores at Christmas! But it's Elton and I love him, so it's no problem for me!
i have never turned from this when it comes on the radio!
The b side of this is hilarious. “Ho, Ho, Ho (Who’d be a Turkey at Christmas?).
Welcome to the world of British Christmas songs! It's a huge and happy one❤
Such a fun Christmas song. It was one EJ's earliest recordings. Another great original Xmas song is "I Believe In Father Christmas" from Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake & Palmer & "home On Christmas Day" by Cyndi Lauper. Merry Christmas everyone!🎄
I second I Believe in Father Christmas!
Also Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
Merry Christmas, Rob Squad Family!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, JAY, AMBER AND TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!
God bless! 🙏🎄
The Pogues &Kirsty McColl Fairytale of New York. Best Christmas song 🎵 🎄 Elton is brilliant too, he hasn't a bad song!!
One of my favorite rock Christmas songs 🎄
"Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney is cool too.
And they played it next, great call. ✌️
And voila!
@Jonathan-qw4lc it was very popular in the U.S. we heard it a lot.
Here in the UK, I start Christmas morning with a music chanel (tv) on, with all the Christmas hits playing, and it stays on playing in the background all through Xmas dinner until the Kings Christmas speech.
They were just goofing around, switching instruments. A fun tune and video. 😊🤙🏼🎶❤️✨️🎄🕊🎅🏼
Here's a fun Christmas song, " Wombling Merry Christmas " by The Wombles 1974. Your kids would love this song.
Thank you so much for the great Christmas song and a little Holliday with Elton John!
Merry Christmas you two. Thanks for a great year of music and movie reactions. Wishing the whole family all the best in the New Year 🎉
Step into Christmas is a great song ! Love Elton.
Please do Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding asap! You will love it. It's from the same recording session (Yellow Brick Road), and it's one of his best songs ever!

Another great modern day Christmas song loved it for years now
I'm sure Elton's shoe closet crosses three international time zones.
classic Elton John sound
One of my favorite Christmas songs !!! A Christmas song you ABSOLUTELY have to react to is: Christmas must be tonight by The Band. It's such a beautiful song !!!
Such a fun song. I’ve always loved it
Father Christmas by Greg Lake, from Emerson, Lake and Palmer! Its a solo song, with acoustic guitar, you'll love it!
love those guys, so talented.
The Santa Claus Boogie, by The Tractors!! You -will-LOVE -IT!!!
Elton just past away....RIP AND THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC AND MEMORIES ❤
Again? You're pushing an internet hoax. Elton John is very much alive and still standing.
He did not pass away he is alive and well in 2024.
Merry Christmas all xxx 🎅
Merry Christmas Jay and Amber 🎄🎁🌲 One of my all time favorite Christmas songs is 1977's "Little Drummer Boy" sung by music icons Bing Crosby and David Bowie. This is the last performance from Bing Crosby before his death.
Hi, they did that one last year ❤ it's one of my favourites too
Merry Christmas Rob Squad!
This song was first released in the mid 1970s. Funny, but I never heard it til the mid 2010s. It's a great song! It should have been a hit in nthe US in the mid 1970s!
Thanks for reacting to this song!
maybe if they had shown this fun video it would have been a big hit in the U.S. I think I heard this but did not know it was Elton John.
WHAM! - " Last Christmas (Official Video) " a romantic song to celebrate 🎆 the Happiest Holidays great tune highly recommended in 2023 🎇 ❄️ 🌲
This was during EJ's partying days.
This video took millions of takes to make, and half way through he was BETTY FORD BLASTED!!
I do not like Christmas songs, but Step into Christmas is a great song. It is the best Christmas song ever.
I've waited a long time for this song to come up here! It's my favorite Christmas song!
I have to say this is one Christmas song I have never heard. Totally love it! Thanks for bringing me a new song to celebrate the season! Sending love from sunny SoCal!❤
Merry Christmas to all of you ❤🎅🎄There is a Christmas song just recently discovered while shopping with some friends. It was playing on the store's music channel.

One of the best Christmas songs! I hope you get around to checking out Bruce Springsteen this season - "Santa Claus Is Comin To Town" and/or "Merry Christmas Baby." Merry Christmas to you and your family!
One of the best Christmas songs, not as popular as some other songs that have been flogged to death! Sorry Noddy!
Is a goodun but Noddy still reigns supreme but get the flogged to death bit 😂
I think Noddy might be new to these two... Have they reacted to Slade yet?... 🤔
and Wizzard
@@BuddyBoy68 I’ve been trying to get them to react to Nod and the Boyz for roughly a year…and many times being first to comment but still nothing doing.
Mainly Cum on feel the Noize or Far far away but suggested MXE with it being that time of year
@@Trish-ql9kz Wizzard are great especially See my baby Jive and Angel Fingers
Merry Merry to your wonderful family!
💚❤🎄
Merry Christmas Jay and Amber!

Wizzard- wish it could be Christmas everyday
Slade - Merry Xmas Everyone 2
Glitter platforms! *YES!*
Note Bernie Taupin plainsong the bells with a mallet midway through. I love this song!
