The most patriotic - Anthem of Russia, group “5’nizza”
Oh, how many trials the anthem written by Alexandrov endured. Now they want to remove the phrase “God-protected” from the text of Mikhalkov’s song - well, we are a secular state. Whom God protects, and whom He is a personal guard. But for the 10th year in a row after the chimes we will listen to this particular song.
And the Ukrainian-Rastafarian-rogue group “5’nizza”, without bothering with the words, sang the old version. And it turned out well!
The most minute - “Song about 5 minutes” from the film “Carnival Night”

The most popular - “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”
Although the words were written by Princess Raisa Kudasheva back in 1903, and they were set to music by Leonid Bekman two years later, the song is still considered a folk song. In Soviet times, they drew a whole cartoon based on this song. The main thing here is to remember the leisurely pace of Soviet cartoons and wait until the third minute of the video - then they start singing. It’s probably already difficult to explain to a modern child. what is a “shaggy-legged horse” and “woodwood”, but the song is still a hit.
The snowiest - “Let it snow”
First it was sung by Vaughn Monroe, then by the handsome Dean Martin, then by the charming Frank Sinatra, around the same time by the velvety-voiced Ella Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby, and then by everyone, from jazzmen and women to outright pop singers like Jessica Simpson .
But this is exactly the song that sounds in Die Hard.
The most fabulous one is “The Nutcracker” by P.I. Chaikovsky
The ballet is good and the cartoon is excellent. In many theaters, the ballet “The Nutcracker” is traditionally shown on the evening of December 31, and playing the main role in a seemingly children’s fairy tale is a great honor. The ballet has long been disassembled into musical fragments, because it is like a good mosaic - masterpiece in its parts and harmonious as a whole. The most New Year's fragment is the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. The music is as airy as the fairy herself.
The happiest one is “Happy New Year!” "ABBA"
It seems that not a single New Year is complete without ABB. Great clip. Few people can boast that the New Year's party ended the way it did in this video: sitting decorously on the couch, with perfect makeup and a clean dress, with a few candies, streamers, and balls on the floor.
The most romantic - «

Well, after Elvis says in the intro that this is his favorite Christmas song, there is no doubt that the song is good. Moreover, he performs it with a rather vocal young lady Martina McBright. The song is both Christmas cheerful and Elvis-like, although it has a slightly country feel.
The most fatal - “We wish you a Marry Christmas and Happy New Year”
Another traditional English-language Christmas and New Year's song in a non-traditional performance.
The most recent one is “Last Christmas” “Wham!”
The song became No. 2 in the UK in 1984 and No. 1 in many other countries. At that time, the still latently homosexual George Michael sang in this group. From his pen came the masterpiece “Last Christmas”. We present to your attention the Polish version of the song.

At the same time, for some reason the festive mood is in no hurry to arrive, even despite the fact that all the streets are already decorated for the New Year.
