Kevin Cole's Favourite Christmas Song of All Time! “It’s A Marshmallow World,” was first written in 1949 and recorded by the likes of Bing Crosby and Vic Damone. Darlene Love provided an entirely different take. Phil Spector’s 1963 Christmas album, featuring a treasure trove of young stars like Love, The Crystals, and The Ronettes, still constitutes one of the best holiday collections around. But Love’s marshmallow song is one that may not have already been beaten into your DNA yet (depending on how many Target commercials you’ve seen this year, as it kicks off the chain’s new holiday campaign). Love embraces the crazy, with a boisterous, breathless beat (bolstered by a determined piano line, which Karen O’s version for Target wisely mimics) that implies that she really is enjoying this wintry day, not just slogging through the mania. bit.ly
