Then again, you're from Australia.

My little sister happens to disagree a lot on my favorite film scores, but still I don't wanna "hurt" her.

Initially I really thought you and Lemons were only joking, but now I'm not so sure anymore...

And yes in my opinion "Star of Bethlehem" is not SO great, Marian & guys - till this day my ears say that the climax of the song sounds like the orchestra is having serious trouble performing it.
I prefer "Somewhere In My Memory".
But "Christmas Star" from the sequel is even better - with enchanting melody and wittier lyrics.
Just in my opinion

It's a film score - scratch the "only".

I don't think they have problems. It just has some very cool counterpoints that make for a slightly atonal sound.

Well, since Lemons always wanted to either visit or even move to Australia, you can have him. There you two can dance naked with the kangaroos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True, Ken,

it's only a film score and true, perhaps, not one of Williams' best. Yet, while your little sister may disagree with you I doubt she would purposely post a thread on this site to simply piss you off. My brother has. He doesn't have to like the score. He can hate it. But the only reason he posted this thread is because I love it so much and he just wanted to bug the hell out of me because he knows he can't do it any other way. It is his evil way of some kind of payback he thinks he needs to accomplish. He is evil. I am telling you, Darth Vader is an angel compared to this one. Just think for a moment, he mentioned his distaste for the Home Alone score before on another thread but didn't get the response he wanted. So, he posts a brand new thread. I am telling you, he is over in New York rubbing his evil hands laughing about this right now, and some of you fell right into his trap (Justin).

Now the big question of the day is indeed: Are we just joking or is this for reals? Well, it's for us to know and you to find out. All I will be saying, watch your news channels very careful for any reports from Texas after October the 30th....

Doesn't a song have to have lyrics... uh, words and stuff? Maybe I have my titles confused. I'm referring to the one grand orchestral piece on the CD that sounds like it could have come right out of Hook.

Your confused indeed. The song does have lyrics. We are talking about the piece that was sung by the little choir inside the church when Kevin talked to the old guy.

OK, not being anywhere near my actual CD I just checked the track list at Amazon and there are 2 Star Of Bethlehems listed. Tracks 5 and 13. I'm referring to the completely orchestral one and that is by far the best thing on the CD.

John, you're absolutely right. Scott is so soaked in his own silliness that he doesn't know which way is up. Forgive him for anything silly he may have said or has yet to say.

Why do you find the score to Home Alone so annoying and why does it get on your nerves? Please explain in detail, I am sure most of us would like to know and at this point, your very life depends on it.

Now that's just going way too far, Jeron.
You're causing me to become emotionally and psychologically unstable with comments like that. How rude!
*sniff*

But I guess I should let it be known that I only live here, I'm not actually "Australian".

CHECK-MATE, MR BOND!!!!!!!

And as for you, Scott, if that is your real name...I don't want to dance naked with Kangaroos. Ever! \
So, NER!!

I know quite a few German carols, but I don't think I know this one. Are you sure that is the title?

Uh, not really. . . but that was the title on the arrangement of it I played with my band a couple of years ago.

And oops! That was a typo, it's "Stille, Stille, Stille"

I'd have gone for a more fitting title though, such as "Murder at Christmas time".

"Sleigh Ride" is my MOST favorite Christmas song of all time; it's a pity TLC ruined it for HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK.

About JOY TO THE WORLD album, it's an incredible CD containing some of the very best recordings from Williams & The Boston Pops. It includes a couple of selections from HOME ALONE and a wonderful interpretation of Clement Moore's classic 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS narrated by Robin Williams !! Tanglewood Festival Chorus performs the vocal parts splendidly. I indeed recommend JOY TO THE WORLD album to anyone who likes Christmas music !!

...Hey Christmas is soon here with a vengeance !!!

Would I be going out on a limb to say the reason might be you, Scott? You have a knack for putting your brother in his place...

Put Lemons in his place? Me? Ha! Where would he go? Heaven? Won't make it. Hell? They don't want him there. MovieMusic.com? Now there is a place he seems to be welcomed with arms open wide....

*news flash* the above statement was extremly sarcastic. Lemons, you know I love ya!
