bump..." up the scale between phrases? I really like this version! It's kindo' cute! I've heard it on the radio a reasonable amount, and they of course have announced that being Jingle Bells (like DUH!), but I've obviously never heard the announcement of WHO sings that particular version!
Okay, for example, it's like this, for the chorus part of the song:
Chorus line 1:
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way-y...."
Guitar:
"Bumpa-dumpa-dump bump..." (up the scale 4 notes--think of the way the music goes during these phrases).
Chorus line 2:
"Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh-eigh!"
Guitar again:
"...bumpa-dumpa-dump-bump..."
Same kind of bouncy climb up 4 notes right in order, but this time, of course in a lower-pitched group than before, in order to make a good resetting-like transition between this high-pitched phrase and the next phrase which as you know is like the first in the chorus, as if just having "upshifted gears").
3rd chorus line:
"Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way-ay..."
Guitar:
Same "bumpa-dumpa-dump bump..." as the first time in the chorus.
Then the 4th line of the chorus, and then the guitar is still bouncing like that during the verses, too.
So-uh... do you recognize which version of the song I'm talking about? It sounds kind of '50ish or '60ish for some reason (in case that helps you identify it). Who is the old-time band that sang that version?
Will you please come back shortly to see if I have any follow-up questions for your answers? Thanks, if so!
Happy Christmas!

Oh, if possible, will you give me a link to the version you think it is, and then I'll come back with a yes or no response?
