Was that one of the more exciting songs you ever did? It is so widely-known, one of the Christmas classics.MC: Yeah. It definitely is and I just grew up watching Charlie Brown every year and that was one of the things that made me say, 'Okay, it's Christmas time,' and so when I went to do this record I was sitting down with a couple people and I said, 'I can't believe nobody really redid 'Charlie Brown Christmas.'ED: I know! MC: And so when we did the intro that's an incredible piano player/writer/musician Big Jim Wright, he's actually Mo'Nique's musical director, and we wrote a song on The Emancipation of Mimi called 'Fly Like a Bird' which I performed at the Grammys that year, 2006. But he's trying the beginning do-do-do-do-doo that Charlie Brown part? And so I could have like sung something over that but I didn't think that was necessary. I just wanted to keep it really fun, and keep it simple and then we segued into the 'Christmastime is here' part of the ballad part. And I just wanted to do it like pay homage to the original 'Charlie Brown' record and it was really, really nice because (they) called me and they said they loved the version and then they gave me all these Charlie Brown stuff. That was really sweet.They = Schulz Estate Quote Reply Forum Jump Welcome To FOMM Mariah Carey Mariah Hall Of Fame General Discussions Other Artists Off Topic Hall Of Fame Feedback & Resolutions Add Reply Quick Reply bbcode help Use Smilies (Complete smilies list) Convert URLs Subscribe to this topic Preview Quick Reply
