Additional Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, Part One Information
|
A perfect martini-and-mistletoe combo, Christmas Cocktails will gaily seduce you with its bevy of nostalgic and occasionally campy holiday fare. Vocal vixens Peggy Lee, Julie London (her "I'd Like You for Christmas" will melt the ice cubes in your fridge), Kay Starr, and Nancy Wilson join forces with perennial crooners such as Lou Rawls, Dean Martin, and the immortal Nat "King" Cole, along with a handful of instrumental big-band numbers and odd, at times cheese-ball-shaped jazz organ pieces from Jimmy McGriff and the flammable Eddie Dundstedter, among others. But the essential item that makes plunking down your pelts for this very chi-chi set is none other than Billy May's lovably kitschy workout called "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer Mambo." It's a scream. The package comes complete with its own cocktail minimanual and the recipes for Hot Toddys and Hot Tom and Jerrys. Garishly retro and naughtily nostalgic, this kind of slinky Christmas gift should probably be illegal in many prudish states. --Martin Keller

What Customers Say About Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, Part One:

I would recommend this wonderful Christmas CD to anyone. From the first song to the last,it is upbeat and refreshing. As soon as I heard the Mambo version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, I knew that the CD would be great, and it was.
Overall a plus. Not what I expected but has interesting music. Should make for a fun party.
It's great. I got Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails late into the season last year and my wife didn't like it. What can I say. This collection makes xmas fun - much more fun than that overplayed choir oh-look-at-the-baby-Jesus stuff. Highly recommended if you simply must have xmas music.
The Ultra-Lounge series is quite good in general for that lounge/space-age bachelor pad/tiki bar in your life. This disk is a bit less off-beat, but is none the worse for wear. A mix of Christmas silly songs and Christmas basics sung by the big stars of the era. Fun, holiday music.
The very first song takes me right to I dream of Jeannie and to Austin Powers. A couple of the songs sound like they came out of an old roller rink or campy pizza place but overall, it's very enjoyable to listen to. You can't listen to this cd and not just laugh. It's upbeat and fun to listen to. I'm 45 years old and am on the edge of the age where you are going to enjoy this. Any younger and your too young.
