I hadn’t thought of “Music Box Dancer” as a Christmas song until it started showing up in Christmas light displays. (Those displays tread a fine line between spectacular and garish, but this one in my neighborhood makes me smile.)
You can download it free from Freegal.
Back in 1978, Frank Mills’ song was originally sent to “easy listening” stations in Canada, but it was sent to one pop station by mistake. The DJ there decided he liked the B side and started playing it.
It struck a chord, and soon Top 40 stations around the US were playing it, as well. It went gold in ’79.
(PS If you live in the south metro area of Denver, check out this article for a driving tour, including this house.)
