Bette Midler Arrives on Our 2015 Christmas Countdown!

This was an ideal song for Bette Midler to sing on her 2006 Cool Yule Christmas album. After all, she was raised in Hawaii!

This is a cover song originally recorded by Bing Crosby and The Andrew Sisters.

Beautifully arranged and sung, led in by "optimistic voices"! Simply click on the Youtube link below.

Enjoy, as my 2015 Christmas Countdown continues!

2013 Christmas Countdown Bonus featuring Bette Midler

The Divine Miss M brings back Optimistic Voices to introduce this song (originally by Bing Crosby & the Andrew Sisters), returning to her Hawaiian roots as well as her Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy ones. Mele Kalikimaka to y'all!

Mele Kalikimaka/Bing Crosby & the Andrews Sisters

Yes, Christmas is on the way. And what better way to mellow out than listening to the fabulous Hawaiian-influenced song, "Mele Kalikimaka" as originally popularized by Bing & the Andrew Sisters. Hope it runs through your heads so you don't shop till you drop.
