You will get a sentimental feelin'
when you hear,
voices singin' lets be jolly,
Deck the halls with bauls of holly.

If I'm right about the theme (and I doubt I am)...Rockin Around the Christmas Tree by, uh, bunches of people, probably.

The Trees by Rush

Incidentally, this isn't the first verse. It's the pre-bridge.

Yes... sometimes I don't pick the first verse... I look to see which part will work best for the initial clue...

Is that a rules violation?!

I'm coming home. I've done my time.
Now I've got to know what is and is it mine.
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me,

2. Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ol' Oak Tree - Tony Orlando & Dawn (among many other artists I'm sure)

Nahhh... sometimes you can't use the first verse because it contains the key word too many times.

I just noticed your new location. Is it a reference to the TV show or the Rush song?

I was right? It was RAtCT? No kidding. Well, if you want an artist, it's been done by every famous person who's done a Christmas album (which is just about everybody). One person who sticks out in my mind as having done it (but didn't write it) was Cyndi Lauper. No, I'm not kidding. She did a Christmas album. Stop laughing...it's true.

Ding! * for you kbomb! I'll give you credit for Lauper even though I have the artist as Brenda Lee (Geddy's sister, I'm sure...)

Ok. A theme revisited:

1.
The problem is all inside your head she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be [...]

2.
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
[...]
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

3.
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care

Happy guessing!

Sorry. You're wrong about the theme.

I would never have known that one. I'm not much of a Reggae fan.

SWEENEY - you're back??? Welcome back buddy, you're still in the lead so you get to do the next set if you have the time.
