美國歌壇天后［芭芭拉史翠珊］──傳統流行／聖誕曲──［Jingle Bells／聖誕鈴聲］

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Were dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Oer the fields we go
Laughing all the way-y-y-y-y
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
Oh, what fun it is to sing
A sleighing song tonight, oh

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought Id take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifting bank
And then we got upsot
Upsot?

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Dashing through, the fields of white
On this happy Christmas night
Off we go through the snow
Bells are ringing, well be singing
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jing jangle
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jing jangle
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jing jangle
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jing jangle
J-J-J-J-J-J-Jingle bells, J-J-J-J-J-Jangle bells
J-J-J-J all the way
On a one-horse open sleigh

１９６７年秋天　２５歲半的美國歌壇巨星芭芭拉史翠珊（Barbra Streisand）推出首張聖誕大碟［A Christmas Album］（ Columbia出版）．

由Jack Gold＋Ettore Stratta製作　Marty Paich ＆Ray Ellis負責編曲與指揮

史翠珊翻唱許多耶誕歌曲經典  樂評出色優異．

專輯陸續推出數支宣傳單曲，

之一為在美國的雙A面主打［White Christmas／Jingle Bells＊白色聖誕／聖誕鈴聲］

其中［Jingle Bells］由James Lord Pierpont在１８５０年譜寫，

１８５７年秋天出版，原名［One Horse Open Sleigh／單馬開放式雪橇］。

雖然它現在一般與聖誕節聯繫在一起，但是它原來是用於慶祝感恩節。

據稱，這首歌最初是為感恩節主日學校合唱團演唱的，或者作為一首飲酒歌曲而寫的。

雖然它最初與聖誕節沒有聯繫，但它在１８６０年代和 １８７０年代與冬季和聖誕音樂聯繫在一起，並在１９８０年代出現在各種客廳歌曲和大學選集中。

１８８９ 年首次在愛迪生圓筒上錄製，被認為是第一張聖誕唱片，現已遺失，但１８９８年的唱片（同樣來自愛迪生唱片公司）倖存下來。

史翠珊版由Marty Paich編曲與指揮　Jack Gold製作成一首傳統流行／聖誕曲

節奏輕快，芭芭拉以急速唱腔演繹，營造出冬日節慶的歡樂氣氛。

［A Christmas Album］只升到Billboard專輯榜＃１０８，是史翠珊事業名次最低的錄音室大碟．

不過去是當年美國最暢銷耶誕專輯, 也登上Billboard年地特別設立的（副榜）聖誕專輯榜

不過由於口碑, 芭芭拉的長青人氣, 加上每年聖誕假期的推波助瀾

［A Christmas Album］持續長賣　１９９９年銷售逾５００萬張，拿到５白金唱片．

至今仍持續銷售, 已被視為永恆的聖誕專輯經典．
