Em 1962, Miles Davis foi procurado para que pudesse contribuir com uma música para a compilação natalina que seria lançada como álbum (Jingle Bell Jazz) pela Columbia em outubro daquele ano. Com composição e vocal de Bob Dorough, esta foi a sua resposta: Merry Christmas I hope you have a white one, but for me, its blue Blue Christmas, thats the way you see it when youre feeling blue Blue Xmas, when youre blue at Christmastime you see right through, All the waste, all the sham, all the haste and plain old bad taste Sidewalk Santy Clauses are much, much, much too thin Theyre wearing fancy rented costumes, false beards and big fat phony grins And nearly everybodys standing round holding out their empty hand or tin cup Gimme gimme gimme gimme, gimme gimme gimme Fill my stocking up All the way up Its a time when the greedy give a dime to the needy Blue Christmas, all the paper, tinsel and the fal-de-ral Blue Xmas, people trading gifts that matter not at all What I call Fal-de-ral Bitter gall.......Fal-de-ral Lots of hungry, homeless children in your own backyards While youre very, very busy addressing Twenty zillion Christmas cards Now, Yuletide is the season to receive and oh, to give and ahh, to share But all you December do-gooders rush around and rant and rave and loudly blare Merry Christmas I hope yours is a bright one, but for me, it bleeds https://youtube/watch?v=UqZ1O0YhY5Q
