Each year the world's largest parade is kicked off with a song by what artist?
I'll Be Home on Christmas Day " I'll Be Home on Christmas Day" is a Christmas song recorded by Elvis Presley for his 1971 album "Elvis sings The Wonderful World of Christmas". It has since been played every Christmas in Times Square to kick off the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Jingle Bells "Jingle Bells" is one of the best-known and commonly sung American songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in the autumn of 1857. It has been claimed that it was originally written to be sung by a Sunday school choir; however, historians dispute this, stating that it was much too "racy" (and secular) to be sung by a children's church choir in the days it was written.
