<p>OK CCers, if you know the answer to this, this will truely be the Go-To Forum for all of life’s little questions. I heard a song on the radio(classic rock) that I can’t find anywhere; my kids have no idea what I’m talking about and if I don’t hear it again soon, I’ll never believe I ever did! Instrumentally, the song is a classic rock song we’ve all heard before, but I can’t name it because the lyrics were from the Christmas song “Sleigh Ride”. Even when the song was playing, I couldn’t place the name of the original song because the Sleigh Ride’s lyrics were messing me up!
Does anyone have any idea what I’m talking about???</p>

<p>Was it a xmas song or did it just sound like “sleigh ride”? I tried search in the itunes store to listen to sleigh ride and could not place a song that sounds like it. Sorry.</p>

<p>Is it an integrated classic-rock version of Sleigh Ride, or a mash-up where someone takes the instrumental riff from a rock song and loops it, and then plays someone else’s vocal track doing Sleigh Ride over it? If the latter, it could pretty much be anyone putting it together.</p>

<p>Is it possibly a mash up?</p>

<p>Dick Dale did a version of Sleigh Ride in the sixties.</p>

<p>I don’t think it was a mash up, it seemed to be a live performance.</p>

<p>Call the radio station, they can probably tell you immediately, or they will leave a message for the DJ on during its play. Or try emailing the DJ on during that play time. Most stations have a good web presence, DJ email links, etc.</p>

<p>How does “sleigh ride” go? Could you hum a few bars?</p>

<p>Hit this link…the song that is playing is Sleigh Ride. It’s one of my favorites. This is the instrumental version (no words). But I’ll bet the words on on that website somewhere.</p>

"Resplendent with sleigh bells and Christmas spirit, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Sleigh Ride” is a fun and upbeat yuletide rock ‘n’ roll anthem - sounds kinda like AC/DC …</p>
