A Conversation for Ask h2g2
What's the song?
Wayfarer-- I only wish I were crackly Started conversation Dec 23, 2002
It's a Christmas song I'm looking for. I don't know if it has any lyrics, but it goes:
Da da-da-da, da da-da-da
[in a higher note]
Da da-da-da, da da-da-da
Well, try humming it, you'll see what I mean.
Does anyone know the name of the song?

I'll name that tune in...

I believe it to be the "Carol of the Bells". If I'm right about that, you may know it as the tune featured in the background of the "Home Alone" films. 
off to google for it.

Never seen those movies. Sounds about right, though; the song has sort of a bell-like quality to it...
Thanks!

Not to mention that the lyrics I found fit the tune I remember.

I'm sorry! I missed your replies as I was busy searching for links then pasting them into my reply. I'm glad I seem to be right. It's such a pretty tune and one I like to hear too.
